A trailblazer in the Philippine indie scene, Reese has brought her music to international shores like Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, and the USA. βA Song About Spaceβ from her debut album βArigato, Internet!β 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 Wonderβs 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.
St. Petersburg
Reese Lansangan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To St. Petersburg
You are looking for home
Away from home
Pack your bags
Donβt forget
Your blue sweater on the plane
Rest your head, on the space
Of your shoulders
I know your heart is lost
And all the words, they donβt make sense
Your fingers crossed
Hoping youβre a better man tomorrow
So you walk along
But donβt afraid to wonder
Try to get back that wander that you lost
And when youβre done
Iβll be waiting
Sail on, sail on, lonely soul
Down to Portugal
You are looking for space
To breathe your air
To breathe in
Call the ports, heβs on his way
Heβs just running late
Bagβs a little bit over weight
So he let it go
Rest your head on the space
Of your shoulders
I recognize your kind
Iβve met someone like you before
Youβre stuck in time
Hoping youβre a better man tomorrow
So you walk along
But donβt afraid to wonder
Try to get back that you wander you lost
And when youβre done
Iβll be waiting
Rest your head, rest your head
On the nook of my neck
