Rêverie
Andre Kostelanetz and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'd give the world to be where I used to be,
A heavenly nest,
Where I rest the best,
Means more than the world to me.
It's only a shanty
In old Shanty Town
But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track,
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.
I'd give up a palace if I were a king.
It's more than a palace, it's my everything.
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town.
The song Reverie by Andre Kostelanetz and His Orchestra is a wistful and sentimental tune that yearns for the simple pleasures of life. The opening verse expresses the longing to go back to where one used to be, to a heavenly nest where one rested the best. It is a contemplative moment where the singer acknowledges that being "up in the world" doesn't compare to the comfort and joy of being in a familiar and cozy place. Essentially, it's a resignation that material possessions don't necessarily bring happiness.
The second verse expands on this idea, focusing on a shanty in old Shanty Town. The lyrics describe the shanty as a "tumbled down shack" by an "old railroad track" that looks like a millionaire's mansion to the singer. There's a sense of nostalgia and affection for a place that isn't necessarily grand or glamorous. When the singer says they would give up a palace if they were a king, it highlights the fact that the simple pleasures of life hold more value than grandeur or luxury. The Queen waiting in the shanty with a "silvery crown" is symbolic of the singer's happiness being tied to a humble abode.
Overall, the song Reverie is a call to simplicity, a plea to find contentment in the ordinary, and a reminder that happiness can be found in the most unexpected places.

My humble home located beside a railway is special to me.

Although it is not grand, it holds great value in my heart.
