The story, I am told, goes like this...
In the 1990s a French student of Russian wrote a song in Russian. The words, while understandable were quirky and charmingly original. A French group recorded it (in Russian) and it sank into oblivion. Until a few months ago, when, under the direction of a Russian-American animation artist, animators around the world crowdsourced portions of the (absolutely magnificent) clip below.
The refrain is :
Suddenly I see behind me
Tender Owls
And my soul feels happier ...
