Today (July 20, 2019) - the day I'm releasing this song, is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. After all these years, it remains to be a testament to great human effort - and that inspires me so much.
I've been fascinated by space exploration for a very long time now. I wrote a song about it (called A Song About Space) - and even made a fashion collection inspired by astronaut suits and extravehicular mobility units.
The Apollo program has made everyone (including me) a believer in science and in miracles. When I look up and I see the full moon - I am amazed every single time that humans have walked its surface. It's an aspirational symbol of hope for me.
I wrote this song two years ago, and have had it in the backburner since then. But I thought, what better day to let the world hear "An Opportunity to Go to the Moon" than the 50th anniversary of the moon landing? It's not the most succinct title, but I think it has a touch of whimsy to it. I like it, and I hope you do too.

Uploaded 12 midnight on the first second of the 50th anniversary day of the moon landings. Perfect timing.
Is no one gonna mention that?
Gavin Herrera Different timezones
someone probably will, given that you've commented only a few minutes after the video posting........
YAAAAASSSSS GOOGLE JUST REMINDED ME OF THAT.
It's intended, as written in the description :)
Gavin Herrera it's in the description box.
NASA should include this to their playlist for their journey to the moon!!!!!!!
A BIG YES

It just happened!!
they just did
Dropping this poem that I also wrote a long time ago! 🌒
Luna and All of Her Stars
You were always behind the dove-gray clouds Yet you’re not hidden. You were embraced by an ocean of darkness Yet you shine so bright in the deepest of black Your luminous effect, they speak to me Words I may not always remember But words that will always be felt. You have allowed me to see you Something more than just being with all of your stars Yet there were nights they felt so empty Nights that you weren’t up there There were nights we put a glimpse on each other And get lost in the idea that maybe we could be together. There were nights filled with your tears And the world becomes a little sad. The clouds, they cry for you
You let them hide your pain
Yet you didnt know they pour down a heavy rain
Oh how I saw every edge of beautiful you have I saw your heart; I felt your soul
You filled your self with scars and songs
There were stitches, yet they made you whole
Like you’re in a phase of a bright, full moon
Haloing the bed of midnight with perfection
As time goes by
It never occurred to me then that I was actually learning to fly
It was my subconsciousness's intention to reach for your sky You were just miles away from my atmosphere yet under the curtains of my tainted windows I stopped breathing and floated with your sorrows
Oh Love has come a long way
It brought you healing and time Now your’re turning into something more beautiful You are a whole lot more visible You have shone not only in darkness But you have supressed light as the sun rises I see you my dear, Luna I have seen you and all of your stars You have become my happiness You have become happiness yourself But fate tells it is not me
I have understood the love I gave you
And it wasn't the love that made you free It was never the love that will be with you at the higher affinity Coz you were always there
Where I cannot belong You have been there with your favorite constellation You are meant to be up there You are meant to be part of a bigger galaxy And I will be just another human Who will adore you from afar Who will reach for your light every night Who will see you behind the large masses of billows Who will smile behind these windows I will always seek for you in the dark In all of your phases I will seek for you,
Luna and all of your stars.
This is beautiful 💖
💓
You should collab with Reese 😁
Pauline Valdez thank you 😭
YT lurker thank you so much huhuhu God bless you!
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is smiling down... I'm imagining this playing while he writes the final pages of The Little Prince
The night before my girl friend's burial I was scanning her liked songs on Spotify. I stumbled upon this song and felt like this was her letter for me before she goes on her own adventures. I really felt her presence and how she was saying her goodbye. After months of not having dreams about her, she visited me last valentine's day and everyday since then I'm starting to miss her and the thoughts are coming back. Now I'm listening to this crying.
HEYYY NO IM CRYINGGGGGG
🫂
THE PERSON WHO GAVE THE STARS:
one day, Sol, the sun, was about to leave earth for the night when he saw Luna, the moon. he gazed upon her and was stunned by her beauty. she was a lonely god, not a cloud accompanying her in the vast darkness. Sol wanted to stay with her, but as the sun, he knew that they can never meet in the same sky, for his brightness would outshine the goddess.
so one twilight, before he left the horizon, he cutted pieces of himself and made small lights as beautiful as gemstones, he placed them in the sky as his light dims. That night the goddess is lonely no more. She was as happy as she could be, but she never knew WHO GAVE HER THE STARS
sorry for the long post, favorite story ko to eh :) Reese, notice me please :D
Omg you noticed me 😱😱😱
😭💔
This is beautiful! Reading it matches really well while the song is playing in the bg 🌙
@@liv5489 thanks, I was planning to illustrate this. But I never had the time 😁😁😁
Looking forward to your illustration :)
The feeling of ready to leave everything behind but still remembers that 1 person...
UGH I CANT ITS SOO NICE!?!?

This songs hits me the most. When I was a kid I used to badly want to become and astronaut. Everybody who knew me, knew how much I loved the moon. I was set on becoming an astronaut as a 7 year old kid that I promised my dad that one day when I'll become an astronaut I'll bring him to the moon and promised to him we would build a house there and live there( little did I know you can't HAHAHA). Through the moon me and my father got closer and closer but as I grew old I became more distant to him due to some issues at home and sadly I became so distant that I wasn't able to make any more beautiful memories with him. We became very distant and my love for the moon was slowly diminishing too. It was a regret of mine now that my dad passed away from an accident. Quite sad to think that my last moments with him was filled with anger. I may have never been able to bring him to the moon but in my mind he's already there, every time I see the moon I just imagine him building the house that I promised him when I was a child, so we could live there together in the moon, happily and peacefully. Pa, I miss you.
I'm sobbing rn
I'm not crying, I'm not. :'(
Hope u're fine tho, @xuxi pie.
🥺
We're same 😔
brb crying 😔
Slowly been deleting and deactivating my social media accounts, telling people I've met online goodbyes - thanking and asking for forgiveness. I'm gonna make a big leap to start a new trying to move forward, and no other song fits this process than your song. ❤️
Me too! I’ve been taking a step back from social media. And honestly, it’s been nice
@@jenna5824 you too. I hope everything will work out just as peaceful and painless as i want it to be.
@@kartofellpuffer course not. Just gonna distance myself from what could make me do exactly that. 🙂
@@kirksander Good good, just keep breathing. There's more to life
I am planning to do this too. It's prolly gonna take some time. It's just too hard to say goodbye but I'll say 'goodbye' eventually.
It sounded like a finale song of a disney movie or maybe a theme song for one of nicholas sparks' books huhu super love 😍
✨🖤
or a John Green movie
Mari Ohara se
Or a theme song from an epic K-Drama.
This is exactly what I need rn. I had a pretty shitty birthday, grabe. I’ve been looking for the perfect song to lift myself up. And now I feel so much better. Salamat sa musika mo, Reese! ♥️
Oh no I’m sorry to hear it! But I’m glad to have given you a bit of comfort with this song! Let moon cradle you home!
still wishing you a happy birthday 💞
Brightest of birthdays!!!
Happy birthdayyy! xx
belated happy birthday to you -from a virtual friend 💚
badly wanna let him hear this song bc he's a huge fan of moons, stars, rockets but he and i no longer talk. i hope he'll hear this from out of nowhere someday. maybe he'll love it.
one of my most heartbreaking moment in high-school is when i finally realised i had been stuck in an abusive friendship and had to let go of it for a healthier connections, alam ko kung gaano ka saket para sakanya kung maririnig nya na para saken sobrang nag deteriorate and naging toxic friendship namen those past years. so as a scared shit, suddenly bigla na lang kameng di nag pansinan and there it goes, alam kong cycle naman kaya ako na mismo kumalas. its been months since we had talked and last year ko na to sa hs. she adore galaxy, the nighttime sky and stars so much that "take her to the moon for me" had been her signature quote (almost everyone in our batch knew it, she also love that song so much) this song just reminds me so much of her, some nights i thought of "knocking" through her window and just tell her sorry and the stars will always shine for her before i left for the moon (eight months and we'll be graduating soon) sometimes I think of asking her if she would want to go with me, but i doubt it. because i know the truth is, nothing stays in highschool forever, nothing.
at ate m, you'll always be a saturn to me! and if we ever cross paths again in the future i don't want you think there is something wrong with you or what, it's just maybe people like us weren't meant to stay side by side.
ateeee reese thank you so much for this!! you just wrote everything I want to say but never got the chance to voice it out💖
Thank you for sharing this and I know we all can take our own place in this universe. I do hope your stars collide and line up again, as I’m sure they will :)
This should've been included to the list of songs to be played while traveling back to the moon. NASA Moon Tunes Playlist. Together with A Song About Space. NASA HEAR ME OUT!
Everything will pass, turn into oblivion.
You'll be the star you always want to be, you'll be shining among the dark.
You will turn the page willing to close the book.
Everyone may remember you, some might forget but your heart will forever shine, like your beloved moon. 🌙
The calming music they play before storming Area 51 😂😂
Lol grabeh🤣
YES MAMI I SEE U
I’m looking at the stars n lunar esclipse… I remember ur song❤
This song inspired me to be calm and not to get serious in life, sometimes you just need to breathe the fresh air of the night, then gaze to the moon and stars, and let your problems fleet by the mesmerizing view on the night sky.
Damn it gives me " home" and "song about space" vibes
This should be included in NASA's moon playlist.
Guess someday I'll make this as a parting song when I'm gone. 😳 I love it, I love the lyrics. And just like you I love the moon, the stars, and the outer space. Just wanting to sigh while listening to this. 💗💗💗
This song reminds me of how comforting it can be to just be alone and give yourself hugs
This made me cry. I remember watching Princess Kaguya. This is Kaguya, wanting/begging to go back to the moon again, and in the end, she went back. The last part of the song is the sound of the celestial beings, fetching Kaguya from the Earth.
This is so heartwarming. I love you, ate Reese. You’ve been an inspiration ever since I heard Arigato, Internet. I am into your music until now. You deserve all the recognition in the nation, the world, rather. I am so happy for your success. ❤️✨
Yiiii u watch it too itsss sooo nice
one of the best ghibli films
Your voice is my comfort miss Reese,
Wow dropping song bombs just like that ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful tribute to the Apollo 11moon landing!!! It sounds so dreamy and nice 😍
Something calm to help reduce my overthinking, thank you! 😭
I badly needed this. felt emotional lately and drained with everything. I'll be leaving everyone soon
listening while staring at the moon 🌜✨
WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE!
We don't deserve a musician like reese lansangan. You're too good😢
Wholesome
Nakikinig ako ng kantang 'to habang sinusubukan matulog. Nakakakalma po itong kanta niyo! 💖
"making more room inside of my rocket" felt that ... how you wanna make everything possible just to be with the one you love
I'm a sucker for anything involving the moon. Huhuhuhu this is beautiful.
How beautiful soul of Resse is ! She got an opportunity but she still has someone dear to consider before leaving..."but before" such a strong phrase
was having a hard time to sleep but listening to your voice makes me sleepy, thank you.
She is so underrated! We need more from Reese! She’s a star, a storyteller ☹️
*MY HEART IS SO FULL RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T EVEN TELL YA'LL HOW MUCH I LOVE THE MOON, AND FOR MY FAVORITE ARTIST TO MAKE A SONG ABOUT IS JUST UWU, THIS SONG IS SOOOO PERFECT😢🌃🌒*
Driving while it’s drizzling and the ac is on blast and this song is on. Ahhh love that feeling 💙
When I listened to this two years ago, I just knew about the aesthetic value of this piece. Now that I lost two relatives and a good friend during the pandemic, this song is like a warm hug.
You sure know how to surprise your fans
Thank you as always ❤️
Two songs in a month? Wait that's illegal.
Kidding aside, the song's soothing to my ears. Reminds me of your old music. What a great song!
i've been walking with a heavy heart for the past weeks but hearing this calmed me down and reminded me that me and my problems are but a speck of dust within this universe. thank you, Ate Reese. 💖
Louie N. P. :(( you got this! Keep going :))
@@astrosagan this made me tear up a bit. huhu thank you so much!! 💗 better and happier days to you, too.
So happy to see people supporting one another ❤️ You got this, indeed!
Linalabanan ang kalachuchi. Salamat sa mga mahahabang kanta na napakaganda pa rin, di nakakasawa
It's my birthday today. This is definitely your birthday gift to me. Thank you, Reese. ❤
Yes. We all need that space.
This one's so timely for what i'm feeling right now!!! Thank you for calming my senses... You write such beautiful songs + you have a pure heart. You'll always be one of my favorite artists.
Grabe of all the female filipino artists ikaw pinakanirerespeto ko. Love you reese.
i've always loved space since i was a kid, so this song is just perfect.
I LOVE YOU REESE. I LOVE THE MOON. I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME ALIVE BECAUSE YOU ARE HERE
Ahhh just in time to calm my anxieties before exams hahaha as always, thank you for another masterpiece, ate Reese~
I love your songs since i love all the things that talks about the moon,planets 😍 the space😍😍😍😍
I don feel so well right now(and im home alone huhu) but while listening to this made me feel better!! Thank you ate Reese! what a lovely song!
It's like a lullaby for everyone. It makes my soul calm, safe and sound ☺️ I love Reese since 2016, she loves moon and stars.
"too different from everyone here."
have you ever felt being an outcast in every place you are for some time. like you're too weird for normal people and too normal for weird people, because I do.
sometimes I just have no idea where I even belong, can we all just move to the moon
Hi really felt that:((
autotelic, ben & ben and reese dropping SAD BOPS during this rainy season is the best thing in 2019.
Let me joyfully skip in the knee high flood while i listen to these bops.
MAMA REESE HEARTED WOWOWOWOWOW MY GOD 😭
a song to add on NASA's journey to the moon playlist!
We went to 19east last Dec.19, 2019. Thank you for dedicating this song to my brother Joshua Cabugsa who died from a car crash last Dec. 12, 2019. We are big fans of yours, proud to be Batang Lansangan :))
I've always wanted to go to space, but now I don't want this void.
a song about space gave birth and this child is very beautiful
JULY 20, 2020 - Today is the 1st year anniversary of this song and the 51st anniversary of Apollo 11 moon landing :>
She is so underrated, her songs better make it to the top!
I love you and your music!!! 😭💖
Reese really helps me fall asleep on my insomniac nights. Don't stop making songs like this 🖤
Woahhh. I'm so honored to be so early here . Hahha like below 500 views palang
I always remember my Ex, every time I listen to this song and Home. I'm sad but I feel happy. She will always be in my heart.
This song just made me emotional
SAD HOURS
Hi reese! Just want to thank u for your songs, I've listened to your songs during my review prep for the upcoming board exam. Also, this song reminds me of old times whenever I go to local coffee shops and study.
Now, I'm a licensed Customs Broker, passed the board exam and now taking JD. Your music will forever have an impact to my life. Please continue writing subtle music like this. You are an inspiration!
i knew ittt! i was scrolling through twitter and saw the emojis in your name has been changed from the #JIFF burger to moons. i immediately thought that you would drop a new song (and i wAS RIGHT!!!) by the way, the song is sooooo good! the timing of when you posted this was so perfect. listening to this while the moon and stars are wide awake is such an experience. labyu ate reese owo
Seems whispering but is screaming.
Strong yet calming.❤
She gives me a SASHA SLOAN vibes and their voices are so similar so as the genre. Dang.
I feel so distressed because of my anxiety and this is the kind of peace that my brain needs rn.
I was away from any kind of social media for 4 days and I was surprised to know that there's another song from you! Iloveyou ate Reese💖
Di ako first pero love ko si reese.
Reminds me of a happier introspection of Asleep by The Smiths.
We’re grateful u exist 🥺🥺🥺 to those who appreciate the beauty of night🥺✨🌙✨☄️💫
I was having a shitty day n this cheered me up i cried huhu thankyou reese💙💙
as a moon lover, this song is beyond beautiful. i'm in tears 💕🌙
thank you for this masterpiece. now i'll be sleeping calmly 🌛🌚
"Jin!!! Jin!! Jin! Jiiiiiinn!!!!! This song reminded me of you!😭😭😭 sniff. Stay healthy, ok? Keep it up!"
Did you know if you successfully fold a piece of paper 8 times,
Reese Lansangan will play this for you everytime
And thats a fact
This song is so beautiful. It's perfect for those who want to go to the moon!
'0 dislikes' as all things should be.
I don't why but she reminds me of Taylor Swift on her younger years as a singer. I love you Ate Reese
I've always wanted to go to the moon and just die there.
Hahahaha me too, lmao
Same
Same
Badly, want too
Something I'd listen to when my anxiety is filling up my head 💕 thank you Reese 💞
The fastest way to get to the moon in 6 minutes
MY COMFORT SONG FRVR
Can I pitch an idea for a music video of this?
A girl, during most mundane night, figured out how to float. Starts aiming towards the moon, her dream, but is stopped by the thought of re/visiting everything she loved on Earth first. Flies over her family, her friends, that one park she used to go as a kid, even stopped by to get fries and coffee float via drive-thru. Hovers over the world before resting at the Kennedy Space Center.
She figures it's time to go. Propels herself into the atmosphere and takes one look back on Earth before hugging the moon.
Normally it’s hard to get up when I wake up. I just woke up, and heard this. And I’m happy☺️ thank you Reese
I'm gonna move to the moon
I'm leaving everyone soon
But before I do
I gotta see you
I'm writing letters to friends
Calling enemies to make my amends
But before I fly
I gotta see you one last time
Is it too late to come by your window?
'Cause I just have you on my mind
I'm making more room here inside of my rocket
Maybe you wanna go with me
I'm breaking through atmosphere
Too different from everyone here
But before I do
I gotta find you
I'm bidding the earth farewell
For better or worse, I can't tell
Oh, but once I flee
The moon will finally belong to me
Is it too late to come by your window?
'Cause I just have you on my mind, that's why
I'm making more room here inside of my rocket
Maybe you wanna go with me
I'm breaking through atmosphere
Too different from everyone here
But before I do
I gotta find you
I am never coming home
Leaving everything I've known
I am never coming home
Moon will cradle me home
I am never coming home
Leaving everything I've known
I am never coming home
Moon will cradle me home
Is it too late to come by your window?
'Cause I just have you on my mind, that's why
I'm making more room here inside of my rocket
Maybe you wanna go with me
I'm flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
Flying out of here
Breaking atmosphere
Running out of air
Breaking atmosphere
*An opportunity to leave the moon? Become Luther Hargreeves*
parang gusto ko na lang pumunta sa moon tapos isisigaw ko lahat ng mga problema at insecurities ko. tapos malulunod lang ako sa katahimikan don as i lay there, staring at what used to be my home.
your music makes me feel different (in a good way) and i feel like crying WHEHEJEBDJ thank you for your music!!!
For someone who's suicidal like me, this is a good farewell song.
I sometimes think of that too but this song makes me think of possibilities, new adventures and what's out there. I hope you're doing alright. You are strong. Always remember that. ❤️
Fan of your music since 2016.
And I am very happy that your music exist in this world.
waiting for Shane Dawson's video but got a better one. 😍💫🌜
I associate this with much if not all emotions I know. Thank you for creating this.
43 views, 85 likes? Hmmm youtube is drunk listening to this.
The first two lines already reminds me of sesame street's song called "i don't want to live on the moon" man that brought me back to my childhood lullaby.
I needed this. Thank you.
