Questions

  1. In this song, the artist imagines Tamar’s thoughts behind her veil. What do you imagine Tamar was thinking during her seduction of Judah?
  2. The artist imagines Tamar singing, “I was a desert until I learned / to make the sky rain down on me.” What do you think this means? Can you think of ways that you, or other people in real life or fiction, have “made the sky rain down” on them? Make a list of examples.
