Hailing from Princeton, New Jersey, In Reverie is Saves the Day’s fourth album - their first off the major label, DreamWorks. On the change from indie label Vagrant, singer Chris Conley explains, “That whole thing is like being in high school and being terrified that the cool kids won’t like you. We’re comfortable with who we are, and you can’t really ask for more than that.”

In Reverie can best be described as having a “Weezer-esque” sound - something that may shock their old fans. “There are gonna be some kids that hear it and hate it, and some kids that hear it and like it. I think because we didn’t delierately change our music, we can’t really worry about it, because the music all naturally evolved,” says Conley.

Upon first listening to the album, the overall optimism was aggravating at first but it was all in good logic. “The album’s both introspective and hopeful,” Conley says, “I have acceptance for the way the world is. It’s hard, and I have to work on accepting it because it’s ugly in so many ways. In order for me to understand it, I have to accept it.”

With that acceptance is an underlying sense of a restless desire for peace within oneself, especially in “Tomorrow Too Late.” While the lyrics When was the last time I held you all through the night? Feels like a zillion years and I dont want to wait more. To find you is to lose you, what is that for? could translate into a love interest, the appealing concept is that the song searches for a sense of completion - a comfort.

Among the top songs is “Monkey,” which comtemplates the realities of society and “the man whispering in your ear saying you should be this or that, you should do this or that, you should buy this, you should go to Wal-Mart.”

In Reverie is great is you’re that type of person who looks beyond the music and into the lyrics. While the music was very mellow, the words were anything but.
