Key(s):  
Note range:  
Background: "Salome" is a full-length theatrical concert -- a rock musical adaptation of the tale of the princess who the Bible tells us danced and caused the death of John the Baptist. The show adds a robust story around the biblical anecdote. The composer and cowriter of the story is James Marler.
Singer(s): Kaila, lead dancer in the Herod's decadent court; Herod's current "favorite" and friend to the Princess Salome.
Description: Kaila finally admits to herself that she is in love with John the Baptist in this song, which is arguably as much "pop song" as "musical theatre."
