    Reverie
    (noun; rev-er-ie): A state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts; a daydream.

    “I dreamed of blackened hallways, to the other side, and I questioned whether we exist with the stars, or is it an empty sky?” I showed these lyrics to my friend Dali and we reminisced about a night of celebration tinged with apprehension. We both agreed that they portrayed the night powerfully and accurately, laying the foundation for my song, “Faint Lights” and launching my storytelling throughout Reverie.

    Mateo, you have been my rock, I can’t imagine having done this EP without you. You shaped my ideas into something better than I visualized, loving and caring for them as much as I did. You have made me into the confident and driven musician I am today. You’re an incredible producer, and made my songs come to life.

    Mum and Dad, you’re the most loving parents ever. Your encouragement to pursue and never give up on my dreams has meant the world to me; I cannot thank you enough. Words cannot describe how much I love you both.

    Eric and Phillis, your support means everything to me.

    Sophie, you helped my artistic vision of Reverie come to life with your beautiful artwork for the EP. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful sister in my life.

    Jeremy, your talented engineering and mastering skills were essential.

    Jen, your continued faith in me motivates me to persevere.

    Gary, your thoughtful donation helped make all of this possible.

    My family and friends, your support and love means the world to me.

    Every wonderful musician involved, it means so much that you took the time to embark on this adventure with me. I couldn’t have done this without you:

    Vocals: Anahide, Daisy Garcia, Rachel Nicole, Hunter Blair Ambrose, Tom Kaspa, Emma Williams, Daniel Yoong

    Much love,

    Francesca Crowley

lyrics

Take My Breath Away

You keep me talking till the break of dawn
Why do I feel intoxicated?
And everything has changed
I’m waking up in this unfamiliar place

So you say to me this must be a dream
And I don't want to waste moments thinking

But when the sun comes up, will you still be there?
And when the dark turns to light will you still care?
Drinking every bottle running from my troubles won't stop me now
'Cause when the sun comes up you take my breath away

You said just be with me I won’t go
But the light is suffocating
Reality begins to hit
And the sun is blinding

So you say to me this must be a dream
And I don't want to waste moments thinking

But when the sun comes up, will you still be there?
And when the dark turns to light will you still care?
Drinking every bottle running from my troubles won't stop me now
'Cause when the sun comes up you take my breath away

My heart is beating too fast and my head won't stay on track
Troubled by my fears, but I won't let them bring tears
And I don't want to let go of what I hold most dear
In the back of my mind I know, I'll stay here on this journey with you

So when the sun comes up, will you still be there?
And when the dark turns to light will you still care?
Drinking every bottle running from my troubles won't stop me now
'Cause when the sun comes up you take my breath away

Air Balloon

Dreaming of skies and seas
Of blue jays singing in trees
This is my greatest escape
I’ll Drift Away

And now I realize how beautiful the little things are
And we can be part of something more if we let ourselves be

I’m Breaking the bonds of gravity
Flying without wings
In my air balloon
I’m loving it from way up here

Starting to break from this timid mind
Freely living outside these binds
Finding a way
Every step that I take

And now I realize how beautiful the little things are
And we can be part of something more if we let ourselves be

I’m Breaking the bonds of gravity
Flying without wings
In my air balloon
I’m loving it from way up here

Time just flies
Faster than it seems
I lived so blindly
Now I see

I’m Breaking the bonds of gravity
Flying without wings
In my air balloon
I’m loving it from way up here

You're on My Mind

My minds going crazy
It’s what you do to me
I need you close, to fall asleep, to keep breathing

My head on your shoulder
Tells me I’m okay
You’re what I need, to fall asleep, I need to feel your heart beating

There are no words to say
There are no lines to write
We always find the way
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

There are no words to say
There are no lines to write
We always find the way
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

I can’t wait
To be back home again
With nothing to do, I’ll be next to you, on every rainy day

There are no words to say
There are no lines to write
We always find the way
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

There are no words to say
There are no lines to write
We always find the way
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind


There are no words to say
There are no lines to write
We always find the way
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

Faint Lights

I was on top of your shoulders
Reaching for the sky
And falling is easy when you’re high

The water is cold
But when I get caught up in moments with you, you

The water feels warm
And there are faint lights
I want to remember everything
But I’m lost in space

I dreamed of blackened hallways to the other side
And I questioned whether we exist with the stars
Or is it an empty sky

Drinking from cups till you get lost
You couldn’t hold it all down
There were so many people blurred
We all laughed till we lost our minds

The water is cold
But when I get caught up in moments with you, you

The water feels warm
And there are faint lights
I want to remember everything
But I’m lost in space

The water feels warm
And there are faint lights
I want to remember everything
Don’t know when I’m coming back again
Don’t know when I’m coming back again


Till the End

I thought the world would be a better place if you were with me
And now my body’s stretched halfway across the sea
But, I am only human, I have no powers to heal me

If I had the right hope
If I found the right notes
Would that carry me close

'Cause in just a couple weeks I will find you
In just a couple weeks I will love you
Till the end, till the end

I hoped to find a common ground where our future home is found
now the waves between us grow bigger and all I crave is you
If the anchor bursts loose at the bottom of the ocean, will we feel a thing

If I had the right hope
If I found the right notes
Would that carry me close

Cause in just a couple weeks, I will find you
In just a couple weeks, I will love you
Till the end, till the end

The storm is growing, the clouds are coming, and I don’t know my way out
And my mind is searching, my heart is pumping, and I, I have no doubt

So, in just a couple weeks, I will find you
In just a couple weeks, I will love you
Till the end, till the end

Something or Nothing

Shorts with red, white, and blue hazel eyes causing pain
Sweaty palms, warm face I’m taking in the poor taste

And today, you’ve turned 19, caught in a delusion, with stars in your eyes
And you’ve been, this way since a kid, with your toes in the san diego sand

Looking out at the ocean for something or nothing
And I don’t know where to go now
And I, I need you

With a black tie and pressed suit, speaking words cold as rain
Business shoes, briefcase working eight to eight

And today, you’ve turned 32, caught in real life, all dreaming left behind
And you’ve been this way for 10 years, with your feet on the corporate ground

Looking out at the ocean for something or nothing
And I don’t know where to go now
And I, I need you

Maybe you don’t have to act so tough
Take down your stubborn wall
There will come a time where you’ll regret
Having nobody to call

And you’re looking out at the ocean for something or nothing
And I don’t know where to go now
And I, I need you
