“Reverie” is a mesmerizing journey through dreams and self-discovery, set against a vibrant 80s hip hop-inspired beat. With clean fingerpicked guitars and lush vocal harmonies, the track captures the essence of a recurring dream, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world where fantasy meets reality.

The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and introspection, as the protagonist grapples with familiar faces and fleeting moments. The production is uniquely crafted using household items such as a trash can and coins, adding an organic twist that makes the sound feel both familiar and fresh.

As the song unfolds, it transitions into a swirling soundscape that transports listeners into an underwater dream sequence, culminating in an uplifting finale that leaves them energized and reflective.
