Listen here.

Toronto-based flautist Jef Kearns delivers a cinematic, shadow-drenched take on the Eurythmics classic “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” But this isn’t just a cover. It’s a resurrection. While the iconic synth line remains, it’s re-imagined with grit, restraint, and razor-sharp energy. The result is bold, emotional, and entirely his own.

What truly sets Kearns apart, however, is the way he brings rare lead energy to the flute. He doesn’t simply play it. He summons it, like a prophet whispering secrets through a chrome ghost.

I wanted to evoke the feeling of wandering through a dark dream, where each sound is a whisper of a greater truth. With “Dream State,” listeners can dive into a world of exploration, unearthing the emotions that lie beneath the surface.

I’d love to play this song by Badshah & Arijit Singh as a first dance or wedding entrance. The melody is so whimsical, hopeful, and romantic.

As probably evident by now I’m a big fan of Bilie Eilish’s melodies. They have such a strong emotional presence. And they’re also easy to remember; a true testament to strong writing.
