The band was in bliss to see their very first album debut at number 18 on the Billboard Heatseeker's Chart, to reach the 25th pop album on iTunes, to have their single "Reverie" reviewed in USA Today, and to be featured on MTV.com's Buzzworthy Blog, all while touring the entire country several times in support of their record. After all of this, the dual fronted NY native pop/rock act known as The Morning Of is finally gearing up to release a new record after what the band says "feels like forever and a day". These young, yet seasoned touring artists have built their grass roots following as well as their songwriting abilities from the ground up through years of touring and hard work, which is a rare and under-appreciated sight in today's music industry. The band has just finished recording their sophomore album with producer Jim Wirt (No Doubt, Incubus, Hoobstank, Jacks Mannequin, The Rocket Summer) at 4th Street Recording Studios in Santa Monica, CA and are preparing for an early 2010 release on Tragic Hero/East West/Lab Records. "We honestly think that everyone is in for a huge surprise with this record. It's still us, but we've been through so much in the last few years that have drastically changed us as people, artists, and songwriters", says pianist/guitarist Chris Petrosino. "A lot of people don't realize that a lot of the songs on TWAWKI were written when we were 15 and 16 years old, so we're beyond ecstatic to have an honest, relatable record that we're all extremely proud of, and that is current with where we're at as individuals and musicians", adds guitarist Rob McCurdy. "I just absolutely cannot wait for everyone to hear this album that is our own, and to start touring heavily behind this record", concludes vocalist Justin Wiley. Be sure to stay current with The Morning Of as video updates, pictures, live performances of new songs, and eventually the first single and new record are unveiled.

Reverie
The Morning Of Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another morning with my eyes towards the Hudson
Wishing the current would carry me away
And I would kill to make it to the Atlantic
If the world would only stop for me

Another day that I can't face your blue eyes
We are falling apart and I'm scared to death
You are much worse for the wear and I'm...
Taking the blame for this

I am falling towards the coast
Let the waves crash over me
To life, to glory goes the toast
As I become the sea

Lord get me out of this city tonight
Cause you are what made me feel alive
Here I am again running away from the truth
Just know that you move me like I've never been moved
Yeah, like I've never been moved

Another night looking past you towards the Hudson
Wishing I could move the mountains with my two eyes
And I would kill to make it to the horizon
If the world would only stop for us

Another day that I crumble beneath the sky
With my regrets taking the place of all my dreams
It's all that's left to feel the void you leave but I...
I guess I always had the choice

I am falling towards the coast
Let the waves crash over me
To life, to glory goes the toast
As I become the sea

Lord get me out of this city tonight
Cause you are what made me feel alive
Here I am again running away from the truth
Just know that you move me like I've never been moved

They the wind is everyone
That you've ever loved
Grazing their lips upon your cheek
They sleep forever is reverie

And they say the wind is everyone
That you've ever loved
Grazing their lips upon your cheek

Lord get me out of this city tonight
Cause I just want to make it out alive
Lord get me out of this city tonight
Tonight...

Oh, you make me feel alive, here I am
Here I am again running away from the truth
And just know that you move me like I've never been moved

Lord get me out of this city tonight
Cause you are what made me feel alive
Here I am again running away from the truth
Just know that you move me like I've never been moved





Yeah you move me like I've never been moved
Yeah you move me like I've never been moved

Overall Meaning

The Morning Of's song "Reverie" is a poignant portrayal of heartache and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's inner turmoil as they deal with the end of a relationship, the pain of regret, and the desire to escape. The opening lines set the scene of another morning spent staring out towards the Hudson River, wishing for the current to carry them away to the Atlantic. It's a desire for escape that's repeated throughout the song. The singer admits that they are scared of what's happening in their relationship and feels like they are taking the blame for it. They wish they could move mountains and make it to the horizon, but acknowledges that they are falling apart.


The chorus provides a sense of release and escape, as the singer imagines becoming the sea and letting the waves crash over them. They offer a toast to life and glory, even as they feel like they're crumbling beneath the sky with regrets taking the place of their dreams. The second verse reveals that the singer is running away from the truth, although they acknowledge the one they are leaving behind moves them like they've never been moved before. The song ends with a plea to be taken out of the city and a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the desire to escape and find a sense of catharsis.


Overall, "Reverie" is a song that captures the feeling of being stuck in a painful situation, unable to change things and wishing for a way out. It's a poignant and relatable portrayal of heartache and longing that resonates with listeners, even as it expresses a sense of hopelessness and despair.

Unable to confront his lover's eyes


We are falling apart and I'm scared to death
The relationship is failing and he's terrified


You are much worse for the wear and I'm...

Asking for divine intervention to leave the city


Cause I just want to make it out alive
Simply wanting to get through life
