Sometimes seeing a movie has weird consequences. I first read about the Russian hit movie Night Watch (Ночной дозор/Nočnoy dozor) in the Christian Science Monitor (of all places) and picked it up as soon as it was released in Europe. The movie is great, and so is the book it's based on (Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch). But what really caught my attention was a song performed by one of the characters of the film, Alice, played by Russian singer and actress Žanna Friske Жанна Фриске. First I tried downloading the film soundtrack, but the song wasn't on it. Then I tried downloading all the songs by Žanna Friske that I could find, but that was also a blind alley. Finally, several months later in September 2006, I struck gold. Wikipedia, a great source for pop information, has an entry on Žanna Friske, which had been updated since I checked it in May 2006 with information on the girl group Blestjaščie Блестящие ("sparkling"), that Žanna was a part of for a couple of years. And finally, it turned out that the song that had caught my attention in Night Watch was one of their big hits; A ja vsë letala А я всё летала ("And I was flying"). I hope you'll like it as much as I do!
There is a video too:
