Hey all! We just announced a big ol' tour! Check out the dates and come on out. If we're not coming to your town, we're very impressionable--let us know where we should play and we'll probably show up there before long. :)

[sonyahannah]

Your imagination. . . your wordsmithery. . . your musicality. . . what an uplifting combination, Reina. THANK you.

"Eat by the glow of the world that I left".... Man.... Why did that make me tear up?

[JeffLearman]

The beauty of this song brought tears to my eyes.

[erickregel]

I played this for my daughter who loves astronomy and it made her day. Thank you, thank you!!!!

[marisab]

Love this! My cat’s name is Cassiopeia. We also have Ares, Mars, and Aurora (Borealis). no longer with us, but now in kitty heaven, we had Leo (Leonids), Orion, and Luna. Yes, we are astronomy nerds! Have just discovered your music and I am excited to listen to it all.

This feels like an old love ballad and I love that

[axelschicks]

What a warmness given by the piano. I think I've never heard such a beautiful piano sound 😍

[SPennell]

Jason and Jonathan offer terrific accompaniment on piano and bass.

I just couldn't stand the poor satellites destiny so I wrote a part II. <3

Now it’s the year twenty-one twenty-three,
And the first colonizers from Earth I see.
For a century now, they’ve been talking to me,
And wondering how life’s on the Moon.

I’ve been giving them all that they’ve asked from me,
Though some things are just sprung from my fantasy.
I just want them to come here, and then repair me,
And send me right back out real soon.

‘Cause I’m still looking for Cassiopeia,
But my circuits are getting quite old,
And my telescope can barely see ya,
And the nights are now getting quite cold.

Now it’s been many years since they killed the wheat,
And there’s nothing left back on Earth to eat.
So they’re leaving their mother and trusting in me,
Because I’ve said I’ve seen rivers up here.

I was the last one they put up here,
Then the money ran out for the space down there.
When the big war was raging, I saw all the fear
In their eyes, but what I see now is hope.

They are looking for Cassiopeia,
They are looking for hope in the sky.
Through my radio, I tell them ”i’ll I see ya”
Knowing they will not survive.

Then they’ll need me to go out exploring,
To find a place where conditions are right.
But I’ll leave for my Cassiopeia,
And wish them forever goodnight.

Back again . . . Ever notice the beautiful expressions Reina has as she sings?

[giuseppesena]

I can see colours of life through your beatiful words, memories, emotions, voices you put in every song. Those waves and the sand, the sun, the green lawns and the leaves of every season, the sky with the everlasting stars… all in techicolor as you sing, i can clearly see them in my mind and mix them with my coloured memories and dreams. Just with your beatiful tunes, you Artist. Love all of you great musicians. Great album, great colours we can also see in these latest special performances, i really appreciated all that. Vi ascolto tutti i giorni, da almeno due anni ormai. Grazie di tutto
