”’Reverie”’ is an instrumental piece of music by [[Elton John]]. It is the tenth track off his 1978 album, ‘[[A Single Man]]’. It is the shortest track in his back catalogue, clocking at 52 seconds.

==Musical structure==
It is placed as a stark contrast to the previous number, ‘[[Madness (Elton John song)|Madness]]’. It is short, silent and moody, and features a rather new invention at the time: an [[arpeggiator]], sounding like a flute or any wind instrument. The title is another word for ‘[[daydream]]’.

Composer [[Claude Debussy]] also wrote a song called ‘Reverie’.

==Personnel==
*Elton John – [[piano]]
*[[Paul Buckmaster]] – [[arpeggiator|arp]]
