A pop version with vocals by country singer Deana Carter was also featured on the film's soundtrack and was released as a music video.
The recurring melody serves as a narrative device in the film since Anya's memory of the lullaby, and the music box's necklace keys are her only ties to her forgotten past.
The theme of memory is further enhanced by composer David Newman's recurring use of the melody throughout the film's score, also incorporating variations of the song "Journey to the Past".
Appearing in short vocal reprises throughout the score, this song is the connecting element between Anya and her lost grandmother, and the Russian sensibilities of the waltz are far more interesting than the rather straightforward ballad".
