Reese Lansangan Songs that Will Sing You to Sleep
It is 2017 and I am in my first year as a senior high school student. New people, new surroundings, new routine, new everything. Except for one thing: my sleeping pattern. As a 15-year-old, the importance of rest and sleep was a stranger to me. I would wake up at 5:00 AM and sleep at twelve midnight. Thank God I discovered Reese Lansangan‘s songs because that made all the difference.
Listed below are five songs by Reese Lansangan that will be perfect if you are experiencing one of those horrible sleepless, restless nights.
Exploration No. 5
This song will take you on an adventure even if you are just lying on your bed. Exploration No. 5 carries a soft but playful tune. This reflects not just Reese’s personality, but her style as an artist as well. If played before going to bed, you would realize that falling into a deep slumber will not be that hard.
A Song About Space
Much like Exploration No. 5, A Song About Space will make you dream of adventures– extraterrestrial adventures! In this song, Reese will take you not just across the globe, but all around the solar system too! A Song About Space is a song that will soothe your inner travel junkie self. It has the power to make you feel not alone during those sleepless nights even if you are listening to the actuality of the vastness of our universe. No wonder NASA used this song for their space campaign back in 2020. Well, Filipino pride is universal indeed!
For the Fickle
With For the Fickle, Reese showed us a different side of her aesthetic. Drifting from her pastel and kawaii-like style, she displayed her flexibility as an artist. For the Fickle is a mellow and sad song that will make you ache for certain and steady love. If you are feeling a little sentimental and sleepless, this could be the most suitable background music to play.
Tenderfoot
This song screams lead-character vibes! Tenderfoot is about recognizing that this world and its people are not flawless. Reese described that particular heavy feeling that we are familiar with whenever we realize how mundane we are. Unfortunately, this feeling almost always attacks during the night. Luckily, Tenderfoot will also encourage you to accept these realizations. It will make you want to try and aspire to be the best version of yourself. Who would not have a tight and well-rested sleep after listening to this song, right?
Home
In truth, I discovered Home years after I knew who Reese is. The year is 2020. I am in the middle of dealing with another sleepless night when my partner sent me this song. Home tells the story of lovers who found solace in each others’ arms. It tells the story of lovers who thought it was impossible for them to find a love that will make sense. Two years and three months later, Home is still in my loop; it is still one of my go-to lullabies ever since.
Knowing Reese Lansangan and listening to her songs became an unexpected blessing for me. And because of that, I want to leave with this: arigato, Reese!
