A trailblazer in the Philippine indie scene, Reese has brought her music to international shores like Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, and the USA. “A Song About Space” from her debut album “Arigato, Internet!” was chosen by NASA for their historic #LaunchAmerica campaign videos.
In 2018, she opened for Paramore's Tour Four and garnered praise from frontwoman Hayley Williams. She also opened for Oh Wonder’s Ultralife Tour in Manila, and has shared the stage with artists such as The Temper Trap, LANY, Purity Ring and Explosions in the Sky.
She takes slices of life and spin them into head-bopping melodies and heartwarming confessionals. With her signature wit and vocal looping prowess, Reese commands the stage and connects with people who appreciate general weirdness, injected into pop earworms.
In May 2021, she released her highly anticipated sophomore album, Time Well Spent.
An Opportunity to Go to the Moon
Reese Lansangan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm leaving everyone soon
But before I do
I gotta see you
I′m writing letters to friends
Calling enemies to make my amends
But before I fly
Is it too late to come by your window
'Cause I just have you on my mind
I'm making more room here inside
Of my rocket
Maybe you wanna go with me?
I′m breaking through atmosphere
Too different from everyone here
But before I do
I gotta find you
I′m bidding the Earth farewell
For better or worse, I can't tell
Oh, but once I flee
The moon
Will finally belong to me
Is it too late to come by your window
′Cause I just have you on my mind
That's why
I′m making more room here inside
Of my rocket
Maybe you wanna go with me?
I am never coming home
Leaving everything I've known
I am never coming home
Moon will cradle me home
I am never coming home
Leaving everything I′ve known
I am never coming home
Moon will cradle me home
Is it too late to come by your window
'Cause I just have you on my mind
That's why
I′m making some room here inside
Of my rocket
Maybe you wanna go
With me
I′m flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
I'm flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere

Dropping this poem that I also wrote a long time ago! 🌒
Luna and All of Her Stars
You were always behind the dove-gray clouds Yet you’re not hidden. You were embraced by an ocean of darkness Yet you shine so bright in the deepest of black Your luminous effect, they speak to me Words I may not always remember But words that will always be felt. You have allowed me to see you Something more than just being with all of your stars Yet there were nights they felt so empty Nights that you weren’t up there There were nights we put a glimpse on each other And get lost in the idea that maybe we could be together. There were nights filled with your tears And the world becomes a little sad. The clouds, they cry for you
You let them hide your pain
Yet you didnt know they pour down a heavy rain
Oh how I saw every edge of beautiful you have I saw your heart; I felt your soul
You filled your self with scars and songs
There were stitches, yet they made you whole
Like you’re in a phase of a bright, full moon
Haloing the bed of midnight with perfection
As time goes by
It never occurred to me then that I was actually learning to fly
It was my subconsciousness's intention to reach for your sky You were just miles away from my atmosphere yet under the curtains of my tainted windows I stopped breathing and floated with your sorrows
Oh Love has come a long way
It brought you healing and time Now your’re turning into something more beautiful You are a whole lot more visible You have shone not only in darkness But you have supressed light as the sun rises I see you my dear, Luna I have seen you and all of your stars You have become my happiness You have become happiness yourself But fate tells it is not me
I have understood the love I gave you
And it wasn't the love that made you free It was never the love that will be with you at the higher affinity Coz you were always there
Where I cannot belong You have been there with your favorite constellation You are meant to be up there You are meant to be part of a bigger galaxy And I will be just another human Who will adore you from afar Who will reach for your light every night Who will see you behind the large masses of billows Who will smile behind these windows I will always seek for you in the dark In all of your phases I will seek for you,
Luna and all of your stars.
