This song is from 'Wicked'--which happens to be my favorite musical. I don't particularly like this song, but I think that they did it very well. This song is sung by Elphaba [main character] when her lover Fiyero is beaten and interrogated. They want to know where Elphaba is since they all believe that she's an evil witch when in reality, she's a loving person.
The song starts off with Elphaba chanting a spell so that Fiyero wouldn't die:
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen...
I love the way they performed this song. The orchestra made it very clear that this was supposed to be a dark and eerie scene. Listening to them play this song and seeing the smoke around her during the musical gave me goosebumps. It gives you that tingly feeling since Elphaba and Fiyero love each other, but the music and Elphaba's emotions during the song totally makes everything feel creepy. Overall, I give this song a 7 out of 10 since it plays with your emotions so much!
