# Indila vs. Hey Falcons - YouTube trip
Sometimes I get lost in the depths of YouTube. Starting from a single song, I go down the rabbit hole of associations and recommendations and then sometimes a theme arises. This is a record of such a musical trip from France, via Slovakia and Poland to Russia.
## Indila/Dernière Danse
This was a recommendation I got via YouTube when listening to some other French music.

Very nice. I like it very much. But somehow the song had familiar features. Something about folk songs, the drums resemble something... Also the refrain features this rhytmically repeating pattern, I've heard that somewhere...
Yeah, right. Some folk music from Eastern Slovakia, or something like that.
## I.M.T Smile/Hej Sokoli (Slovak)
The refrain of this, has some resemblance to the Inidila song.

This is a title song to the movie [The Line](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6134000).
The song is Slovak language version of a [Polish song](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hej_Soko%C5%82y), translated "Hey, falcons". It has good energy.
## Hej Sokoly - AnnaLu & Shavez (Polish)
Another good adaptation of the song with the same energy, but this time without a rock band, just a guitar, some drums and a lot of joy is this.

## The Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble
And of course, I couldn't resist to give a chance to the Russian classic adaptation :-).

## Final click: Hrdza/Stephen
At which point, YouTube recommended another piece in the same style. Known band, unknown piece, let's go for it.

This is a pop-ish adaptation of another folk song by a Slovak band Hrdza (Rust). They do a lot of this stuff, it's always fun to listen. I just did not know this particular piece. The video is fun too, so why not.
Why this is piece called Stephen is beyond me. But it's fun to watch and has the same energy as the rest of the trip, so why not.
Well, let's stop for today, otherwise I waste more time than I want on this...
