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.
Exploration No. 5
Reese Lansangan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amusing observations
It’s the single best combination for me
Let’s talk about the deep and endless ocean
Hey, what’s your favourite crustacean?
We can go on and on
Until we fall asleep
A thunderbolt through the heart
When e do what we do
I want to whisper to you
When the whole word shouts
Find the things that you’re about
It won’t be hard
It won’t be hard
If you would like to start
Oh I tell you I like going in explorations
Recounting scenes in animation
How we wish our aspirations
Would grow wings
Let’s talk about all our strange fascination
Or what we hate, maybe our admiration
For aliens and languages and things
‘Cause this is how things start
A thunderbolt through the heart
When e do what we do
I want to whisper to you
When the whole word shouts
Find the things that you’re about
It won’t be hard
It won’t be hard
If you would like to start
Now I would like to go
Where our feet will go
Only you would know the way
When we start our plans
Let me take your hands
And we’ll make something
That rhymes with adventure
Are you down to start one, big adventure with me?
With me?
I tell you I like breaking your concentration
Just to say out loud my speculation
About the worlds that spin
Beyond our atmosphere
You get my less than normal disposition
And this puts me in an obligation
To like you just for being here
‘Cause this is how things start
A thunderbolt through the heart
When e do what we do
I want to whisper to you
When the whole word shouts
Find the things that you’re about
It won’t be hard
It won’t be hard
If you would like to start
It won’t be hard (5x)
If you would like to start

I think I like long conversations
I enjoy having conversations that last for a long time
Amusing observations
I like to make and hear interesting comments
It’s the single best combination for me
Long conversations with amusing observations is my favorite thing
Let’s talk about the deep and endless ocean
Let us discuss something vast and mysterious like the ocean
Hey, what’s your favourite crustacean?
What type of crab or lobster do you like the most?
We can go on and on
We can continue the conversation indefinitely
Until we fall asleep
Talking with you is so engaging that I could talk until I sleep
‘Cause this is how things start
This is how meaningful relationships begin
A thunderbolt through the heart
An intense and sudden attraction that shakes the core of the being
When e do what we do
When we act on our feelings
I want to whisper to you
I have something intimate to share with you
When the whole world shouts
When there is a lot of noise and confusion around us
Find the things that you're about
Discover your passions and interests
It won't be hard
It will be easy to find what makes you happy
If you would like to start
If you are open to exploring and discovering yourself
Oh I tell you I like going in explorations
I confess that I love going on adventures
Recounting scenes in animation
Reliving moments from cartoons or animated movies
How we wish our aspirations
Our dreams and goals that we long to achieve
Would grow wings
Could take flight and become a reality
Let’s talk about all our strange fascination
Let us discuss all the unique things that intrigue us
Or what we hate, maybe our admiration
We could talk about the things we dislike or admire
For aliens and languages and things
Our curiosity about extraterrestrial life, foreign tongues, and other mysteries
Now I would like to go
I am eager to embark on something new
Where our feet will go
Let us travel to an unknown destination
Only you would know the way
I trust your instincts and guidance
When we start our plans
When we begin to prepare for our adventure
Let me take your hands
I want to hold your hand and lead you forward
And we’ll make something
We will create something unique and special
That rhymes with adventure
Something that excites and thrills us
Are you down to start one, big adventure with me?
Would you like to join me on an exciting journey?
I tell you I like breaking your concentration
I enjoy playfully distracting you from your focus
Just to say out loud my speculation
I share my random thoughts with you
About the worlds that spin
My thoughts regarding the universes that revolve
Beyond our atmosphere
In the depths of space that we have yet to explore
You get my less than normal disposition
You understand my strange and uncommon personality
And this puts me in an obligation
It compels me to reciprocate your understanding and liking
To like you just for being here
To appreciate and admire you simply for being present in my life
It won't be hard (5x)
It will be easy to create memories and experiences together
If you would like to start
If you are ready and willing to begin our adventure

@AquaExcalibur
I just called Sky internet provider from USA to Philippines and this is the song they played while I was on hold. Best on-hold moment ever! Seconds later I had it downloaded. I have a feeling this will go viral.
