reverie: a state of being lost in one's thoughts; a daydream. Dive into The Macarons Project's long-awaited debut album, out now!
"A lot of the songs we wrote began with a simple guitar riff or a vocal melody—often created during moments of daydreaming. With this album, our goal is to offer a peaceful escape, letting you get lost in your thoughts, even if just for a moment."

(written by ree & dito)
did you see all the space
we create along the way
I know we don’t mean that
yet we seek more distractions
wish I want you, so why
does it feel like it’s needless
hope’s a ruthless thing but
it kept us going cause it’s you
it’s you.. you’re my perfect one
it’s you.. you.. were right here from the start
we let all that we do
just another life’s pattern
it’s not what we intended
but we lack those connections
try to want you, so why
does it feel like it’s needless
hope can be a cruel thing but
it kept us going cause it’s you
it’s you.. you’re my perfect one
it’s you.. you.. were right here from the start
oh you.. I want to love you..
again..
is it the end?
(written by ree)
Where did you go
When I needed you the most
Where were you when I was lost
You said hello
With a gentle sound
But you never said goodbye
How does one turn a blind eye?
I was used to doing life my way
But you walked through that door anyway
Am I dreaming, was it something unreal?
We were happy so what’s the deal?
Am I dreaming, was it something unreal?
We were happy so what’s the deal?
You held my hand
Can't forget that smile
And you’ve never said goodbye
How does one turn a blind eye?
I was used to doing life my way
But you walked through that door anyway
Am I dreaming, was it something unreal?
We were happy so what’s the deal?
Am I dreaming, was it something unreal?
We were happy so what’s the deal?
heartbreaker
(written by ree & dito)
Sunshine and roses
Can we keep it that way?
There’s no hope on this road
The skies looking grey
Daisies and rainbows
Was all I could dream
Where is the happy ending
Like movies we’ve seen?
You told me to stay
I begged you to leave
But then you convinced me that it’ll be okay
I told you to stay
You begged me to leave
We both know that there’s no other way
If life’s a movie, then who'd be the heartbreaker?
Daisies and rainbows
Should we keep it that way?
Hard to fight for something
That’d be gone someday
I wish we know how
To break off from this chain
Can we agree to end
This unending pain?
never be enough
(written by ree, dito, taylor M, pinky h)
As the weekend rolls by
Your smile remains in my head
As the morning returns
Your scent lingers in my bed
I’m up alone again
And you're driving home again
Having you for a day boy, isn’t always enough
Having me for a night dear, doesn’t always sit right
So why don’t you give me your time
Why don’t you give me more time
So why don’t you give me your smile
and give me your morning too?
Everyday I wonder
You're just here for the summer
As I’m ready to walk
Your voice telling me to stay
And here we go again
Am I on my own again?
Having you for a day boy, isn’t always enough
Having me for a night dear, doesn’t always sit right
So why don’t you give me your time
Why don’t you give me more time
So why don’t you give me your smile
and give me your morning too?
So why don’t you give me your time
Why don’t you give me more time
Oh why don’t we settle this time
does my heart belong with you?
i will
(written by ree)
Look at us
Now that we have grown wise
And all this time
We still talk till sunrise
Love, you’re my choice
I promise you
Here I say I do
Here I say I will
I’ll love all that is you
Even when time stands still
Through rain or shine
I’ll be there by your side
And when it’s dark
We’ll find each other’s light
Love, you’re my choice
I promise you
Here I say I do
Here I say I will
I’ll love all that is you
Even when time stands still
hold us tight
(written by ree, dito, taylor m)
Do you remember when
You first held my hand
From that moment I knew
I was meant to find you
Distances between us
Only a moment
Soon my dear hold us tight
I'll be right beside you
When we are apart
I get to fall in love
Fall in love with you
Once again
Know that my heart
Will always be for you
No matter what, I knew
I'd be thereLonging for a new day
I know you feel it too
Soon my dear hold us tight
I’ll be there beside you
When we are apart
I get to fall in love
Fall in love with you
Once again
Know that my heart
Will always be for you
No matter what, I knew
I'd be there
sandy shores
(written by ree & dito)
Can we stay here longer?
I wanna stay here longer
Let me just stay here longer
With you
Being with you on this shoreline
You’ve made the cold air warm
Gentle breeze hit against our cheeks
Holding your hand is all I want, It's true
Can we stay here longer?
I wanna stay here longer
Let me just stay here longer
With you
Being with you on this shoreline
Dream I won’t want to end
Waves crashing magically and yet
I'm staring at your eyes, So blue
Can we stay here longer?
I wanna stay here longer
Let me stay here longer
With you
I wonder (what’s in your mind)
That we’d be something more
Cause I'd stay (do you feel that too)
Stay here forever (forever)
With you.. With you.. With you..
