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.
What Is This Feeling?
Reese Lansangan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a spring in my step as I walk through the door
Do you know it at all?
My feet are lighter than before
I don't know if you've ever noticed
But I've forgotten my breathing since he let me go
And now I think I
I'm growing my wings
So I could fly
And I can feel the change in me
I'm dancing with my bare feet on the ground
I've never ever felt this free, oh
I feel it inside
It's pounding in my chest
It's crawling out of every open wound on my flesh
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
Could this be, oh
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
Could this be, oh
Can you explain this?
There's a grace in my walk as my heels hit the floor
Do you have a name for this?
When you feel like you're floating away
But it's so hard to say what it is
I don't know if you've ever noticed
The rush of blood to my face, wherever you go
And now I think I
Can see with my eyes
I'm growing my wings
Just so I could fly
And I can feel the change in me
I'm dancing with my bare feet on the ground
I've never ever felt this free, oh
I feel it inside
It's pounding in my chest
It's crawling out of every open wound on my flesh
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
Could this be, oh
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
Could this be?
And I never wanna lose this feeling
I just wanna keep on flying above all the city lights, high
And I have always gone believing
That if I keep a good head and a good heart
Then I won't fall down
And I never wanna lose this feeling
I just wanna keep on walking on clouds
Hear the truth from my mouth
And I, I have always gone believing
That if I keep a good head and a good heart
Then I won't fall down
And I can feel the change in me
I'm dancing with my bare feet on the ground
I've never ever felt this free, oh
I feel it inside
It's pounding in my chest
It's crawling out of every open wound on my flesh
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
Could this be, oh
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
What is this feeling?
Could this be, oh
Could this be, oh
What is this feeling?
I don't know
Could this be, oh

This song describes happiness, freedom, letting go, or whatever feeling that is. I'm sure it's good. But, this song brings a different kind of feeling to me. My last girlfriend and I broke up over quarantine, all my fault really. We used to listen to Reese together using our earphone splitters. We got matching Reese phone covers, and analyze lyrics like champs. I even asked Reese to record a message for her birthday. She has Reese's inflictions and little gestures. Now, every time I watch or listen to any of Reese's songs, I'm reminded of her. The sad songs become way sadder, and the happy songs tend to sound melodramatic. This song, particularly, hits hard. She has moved on from me, and my unsustainable well-being that is too much and too unfair for anyone to handle. I am genuinely happy for her. This song completely describes whatever she is feeling now being able to finally let go and move on from a rather tragic ending we had. It was a lot of pain I left, and I'm happy she is dancing barefoot on the grasses now with someone I fully trust. It'll take me time to listen to Reese not being able to think about her anymore, and finally enjoy her songs solely for myself, without hints of the past. But right now...this song is a sad song for me. I envy that feeling, and I pray every night that I would wake up to feel it, having wings so I could finally fly away. Finally, fly away. Tell me, how does it feel?
@reeselansangan
My friend, I'm giving you a big hug right now. Navigating relationships and breakups - - that's hard. More so in this pandemic when it's hard to get proper closure. All I know is that I feel you and I am with you. I know that you are not alone in whatever you're feeling. The loneliness and pain are intense emotions, but trust that time heals all. It will definitely be a hard journey, but please take it day by day. I totally get that feeling of listening to a particular song and just being taken back to both happy and sad memories. That's the power of music. It can accompany us on our best and worst days. Take a break from listening to my music and heal first. In time, you will encounter this again in a different state and perhaps, you'll be giving a small smile as a nod to the past and an invitation to the future. Take care man!
@emotionarian4101
@@reeselansangan Thank You, Reese. I'm going to miss you for a while. I'll hang around in the Moon until I'm ready again for a steady love. Hope by that time, I'll be dancing barefoot on the grass. 💚
@tenshi-chan3131
Man, I stopped listening to reese for a moment since she was introduced to me by someone who broke ny my heart as well. Please know that u are not alone and I get what u feel. In one way or another you too will move on and tho some glimpse of the past will hover around whenever you listen to her music. Lemme tell u this, one day your heart will be full of love and you'll start to own her music like a lullaby. I promise, one day that pain may not be fully removed but you sure will be able to bear it gracefully ☺️
