018 Swan Lake

As of Thursday, August 22, the Wikipedia entry for Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" lists several songs that have borrowed heavily from the ballet's music -- but it does not yet list the Khmer song "The Story of My Love" by Chhuon Malay, which is featured in the soundtrack of the 2015 documentary Don't Thing I've Forgotten. Go and have a listen - it's totally the act II theme from "Swan Lake." And it's awesome!!
