notes
The breathy, flute-like hook answering the vocal is a soft FM voice with a touch of noise for breath and a slow filter swell, given a long reverb tail typical of Michael Cretu's mid-80s Union Studio Munich productions, a huge Benelux-wide hit for Sandra. Reconstructed by ear; no original patch sheet survives.
