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.
Slow Mornings
Reese Lansangan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I came to this half-hearted
You came with no intention
Just passing me by, oh
And I've changed my rules, I'm bending
I've lost all common sense and
I don't know what this is
But you've got me asking why
You got me thinking 'bout you right away
But I don't wanna say it
You got the conversation down
Oh you just know how to play it
But I refuse to be confused
By whatever you're saying
For all I know you could be playing me
But now I'm thinking
My oh my, you're in my head
Making your way right to me
No warning
I'll go back to bed
Thinking of me and you
This slow morning, yeah
Thinking of you
Like how I do slow mornings
Forgive me, I'm just used to
Being alone but now you
Wanna be with me all the time
And I won't say I don't like it
You got me interested in
The inner workings of your mind
You got me thinking 'bout you right away
But I don't wanna say it
You got the conversation down
Oh you just know how to play it
But I refuse to be confused
By whatever's going down
For all I know you could be playing me
But now I'm thinking
My oh my, you're in my head
Making your way right to me
No warning
I'll go back to bed
Thinking of me and you
This slow morning, yeah
Thinking of you
Like how I do slow mornings
Thinking of me and you
You've been running in my head
Won't you come see me instead
Sun rising in cherry red
Won't you stay with me this slow morning?
You've been running in my head
Won't you come see me instead
Sun rising in cherry red
Won't you stay with me this slow morning?
The song "Slow Mornings" by Reese Lansangan is about the uncertainty and vulnerability of falling for someone unexpectedly. The singer is caught off guard by their feelings for someone who seemingly showed up out of nowhere. They express their confusion about the situation, not knowing how it started or what the other person's intentions are. Despite this, the singer finds themselves continuously thinking about the other person, even though they try to resist their feelings.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's internal conflict between their attraction to the other person and their fear of getting played. They recognize that the other person is skilled at conversation and could potentially be manipulating them. However, they also can't help but think about them all the time, especially in the quiet moments of a slow morning.
Overall, "Slow Mornings" captures the experience of unexpectedly falling for someone and the uncertainty that comes with it. The lyrics express the singer's mix of excitement and apprehension about the new person in their life, as well as their careful contemplation of the situation.
