“Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”, a song by British synth-pop duo Eurythmics. It was released as the fourth and final single from their second album in January 1983. It was their breakthrough hit, establishing the duo worldwide. It reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in March 1983, and number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 six months later, it was their first single released in the US.

Every synth sound has been reconstructed using the NINA synth. The vocals are taken from the original Eurythmics release and extracted using Ultimate Vocal Remover. The final master I did in Audacity.

Both Audacity and UVR are Open Source and free software.

As always, maybe you like it, maybe you don’t… But who doesn’t like a good synth?

Just dream…

    Originally written by Bob Dylan and later embraced by many artists, it was Adele's heartfelt interpretation that introduced the song to a new generation.

  • Rainbow

    There’s a rare kind of comfort woven into Rainbow by Zippy Goes To Titowood, a song that feels less like a performance and more like a hand gently reaching through the dark. Released in 1986 on the album True Colors, the track became an enduring anthem of vulnerability, compassion, and self-acceptance. Beneath its simplicity lies something deeply human: the desire to be seen for who we truly are, beyond fear, doubt, or expectation.

  • A Song

    Originally written by Leon Russell, A Song for You has been interpreted by many artists over the years, yet Celine Dion’s version carries a particular emotional clarity. Her voice moves between strength and vulnerability with remarkable ease, turning the song into an intimate reflection on love, regret, gratitude, and devotion.

  • Human Nature

    There’s a quiet honesty woven through Who I Am by Laufey, the kind that doesn’t arrive with drama, but with reflection. It feels intimate and unguarded, like a conversation held softly in the late hours when thoughts become impossible to ignore.
