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.
No Snow
Reese Lansangan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our Christmas begins in September
And I'll start being good around this time
So Santa could remember me
I take my old school socks
And hang them in a row
My friend just told me there's no Santa Claus
People go to church here
As early as 4: 00
They have got a hundred wishes in their hearts
They want to bring to the door
Though we might not eat turkey
And we never get snow
Yeah, there's no winter in my city
But, oh how we glow in Christmas time
And I, I, I, I, want you to know
That I, I, I, I, just want to go
Away with you and I'll wake you
In the morning
Just to do it all over again
'Till Christmas day
Eh eh eh eh
eh eh eh eh eh
eh eh eh eh
I wish it were colder
So I could find a love with you
Wish you were bolder
So take my hand and we'll be someone new
Yeah, it's December
Is there any ____ better
For two?
And I, I, I, I'll fall in it deeper
Tonight, angels sing us to sleep
Oh, I'll wake you
In the morning
Just to do it all over again
'Till Christmas day
Eh eh eh eh
eh eh eh eh eh
eh eh eh eh
It's Christmas day.
Reese Lansangan's song, "No Snow," is a whimsical tune that celebrates the holiday season in a city where snow doesn't exist. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who lives in a place where Christmas starts in September, and people attend church as early as 4:00 in the morning with "a hundred wishes in their hearts" to bring to the door. Despite not having the traditional Christmas elements like snow and turkey, the city glows during this time of the year.
The song also touches on childhood memories of believing in Santa, hanging old school socks in a row, and starting to be good around this time so that Santa could remember them. The singer of the song also wishes that it was colder so that they could find love with someone and "do it all over again 'til Christmas day." It's a nostalgic and dreamy song that encapsulates the magic of Christmas and the feelings of excitement and hope that come with it.
