    This song Fantasy is right up there with Bach, Beethoven, Miles, Ellington, etc.

    Every man has a place
    In his heart there's a space
    And the world can't erase his fantasies
    Take a ride in the sky
    On our ship, fantasize
    All your dreams will come true right away
    And we will live together
    Until the twelfth of never
    Our voices will ring forever, as one
    Every thought is a dream
    Rushing by in a stream
    Bringing life to the kingdom of doing
    Take a ride in the sky
    On our ship, fantasize
    All your dreams will come true miles away
    Our voices will ring together
    Until the twelfth of never
    We all will live love forever, as one
    Come to see victory
    In a land called fantasy
    Loving life, a new degree
    Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
    As one, come to see victory
    In a land called fantasy
    Loving life for you and me
    To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
    You will find other kind
    That has been in search of you
    Many lives has brought you to
    Recognize, it's your life now in review
    And as you stay for the play
    Fantasy has in store for you
    A glowing light will see you through
    It's your day, shining day
    All your dreams come true
    As you glide in your stride
    With the wind as you fly away
    Give a smile from your lips and say
    I'm free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way
    Come to see victory
    In a land called fantasy
    Loving life for you and me
    To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
    You will find other kind
    That has been in search of you
    Many lives has brought you to
    Recognize, it's your life now in review

      Hmmm. Seems they're saying (in the vamp and earlier) "...Come to see, victory, In a land called Fantasy, *LOVELY LIGHT* for you and me, *To behold*, to your soul, IT'S ecstasy." Seems to fit with what they say in a following verse "...And; as you stay, for the play, Fantasy has in store for you, *GLOWING LIGHT* will see you through, It's your day, *shining day*, All your dreams come true." If they didn't ... seems it should have been the natural course.

    Timeless. Ever. There are songs that, once written and gone to the stars, don't belong to you any longer. They belong to the universe and to eternity and there's nothing anyone can do against it, the author least of all. "Fantasy" is one of those.

      Like most countries, NZ grew up listening to music from UK & USA - Motown, RnB, Soul, Jazz, Disco, Funk, Blues, Reggae etc. In recent times we've developed our own sound - a fusion of those genre's wrapped in island rhythms. An old skool vibe with a twist I think you'll enjoy.
      Six60 & L.A.B are huge in NZ and good examples.

    This song is notoriously popular in Southeast Asia, specifically Malaysia,Singapore and Indonesia. This is due to a Singaporean band called Black Dog Bone that sang this song in Malay. It became a hit here since the 70's. Every generation knows the song. Just goes to show what geniuses Earth Wind and Fire are.

    I had never heard this song until just last month a few weeks before Christmas. I had been going through a very difficult time emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I couldn't see life anymore on the path before me and felt nothing. This song literally brought the fire back into my heart. I remember getting up and dancing, I love to dance I'm always dancing and hadn't danced in what seemed like forever and there I was in my room dancing and singing the lyrics at the top of my lungs. I felt the life return to my soul. Thank you, thank you for this beautiful, inspiring song. I know this song was created before I was even a thought here on Earth and somehow it found me and brought me back to life 🙏💗

      Hey Tony so good to hear. I had this album in HS. I’m 64. This band was legendary in our time. It’s a shame the lead singer died but I admit I was also partial to September. And it’s refreshing that you a young family who embraces it. I owned and operated a radio station and had a show and my son was a musician and army combat medic. He died in my arms from a heart attack almost 2 yrs ago but I finally have made arrangements for his and his wife being placed in a columbarium at a military cemetery. He got married and his wife died a month later and then my son died 10 months later. Needless to say I was in a comatose state but I’m better. He was my only kid. I have family but it’s not the same. Anyway I just wanted to comment on your comment

    Every man has a place, in his heart there's a space
    And the world can't erase his fantasies
    Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasii
    All your dreams will come true, right away
    And we will live together, until the twelfth of never
    Our voices will ring forever, as one
    Every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream
    Bringing life to our kingdom of doing
    Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasii
    All your dreams will come true, miles away
    Our voices will ring together until the twelfth of never
    We all, will live forever, as one
    Come see victory, in the land called, "Fantasty"
    Loving life, a new decree,
    Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
    Our minds will explore together, old worlds, we conquer, forever
    We then, will expand love together, as one
    Come to see, victory in a land called, "Fantasty"
    Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy
    You will find, other kind, that has been in search for you
    Many lives has brought you to
    Recognize it's your life, now in review
    And as you stay for the play, fantasy, has in store for you
    A glowing light will see you through
    It's your day, shining day, all your dreams come true
    As you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
    Give a smile, from your lips, and say
    I am free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way
    Come to see victory
    In a land called, "Fantasty"
    Loving life for you and me
    To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
    You will find other kind
    That has been in search of you
    Many lives has brought you to
    Recognize, it's your life now in review (ahh-ohh)
    Ohh, ohh, oh, ohh

    Au début, je me sentais gauche et mal à l'aise au milieu de cette foule. Mais lorsque les premiers riffs funky débordants d'énergie ont retenti, quelque chose s'est éveillé en moi. C'était comme si les vibrations prenaient possession de mes jambes. Un flux de pur bonheur physique m'envahissait.
    Je me suis mis à danser avec une fougue que je ne me connaissais pas. Un rythme lent et entrainant s'est fait entendre, et j'ai souri, c'était ma chanson préférée !
    Dans un tourbillon de grâce étudié et d'abandon juvénile, j'ai alors vécu mes premiers instants d'extase sur la piste de danse. La musique, la chaleur, les corps en mouvement...Tout semblait s'accorder en une merveilleuse symbiose. Ce soir-là, j'ai définitivement pris goût à cette ivresse de la danse qui ne m'a plus jamais quittée.

    Just saw these guys at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City, and I'm gonna say it: these are some of the BEST musicians on the planet! They were so amazing they had me in tears. You can just feel that you're witnessing something rare and magical that may never happen again.
    Even the sound crew was top notch! The horns, vocals, percussion, and especially the mind blowing bass lines laid down by Verdine White all sounded stunning. It just isn't every day you see nearly a dozen musicians of this caliber, who can all hang with each other and do justice to such a monster catalog of hits. If these legends come anywhere near you on tour - GET THOSE TICKETS!

    Every man has a place, in his heart there's a space
    And the world can't erase his fantasies
    Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasy
    All your dreams will come true, right away
    And we will live together, until the twelfth of never
    Our voices will ring forever, as one
    Every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream
    Bringing life to our kingdom of doing
    Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasy
    All your dreams will come true, miles away
    Our voices will ring together until the twelfth of never
    We all, will live forever, as one
    Come see victory, in the land called, "Fantasy"
    Loving life, a new decree
    Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
    As one
    Come to see, victory in a land called, "Fantasy"
    Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy
    You will find, other kind, that has been in search for you
    Many lives has brought you to
    Recognize it's your life, now in review
    And as you stay for the play, fantasy, has in store for you
    A glowing light will see you through
    It's your day, shining day, all your dreams come true
    As you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
    Give a smile, from your lips, and say
    I am free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way
    Come to see victory
    In a land called, "Fantasy"
    Loving life for you and me
    To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
    You will find other kind
    That has been in search of you
    Many lives has brought you to

    Um dos meus clássicos preferidos. Combina soul, funk e elementos de música disco, com uma letra profundamente espiritual. Fala sobre a busca de um lugar de liberdade e realização, um "paraíso" onde os sonhos se tornam realidade; uma mensagem otimista e transcendente, evocando temas de esperança e realização pessoal.
    Os versos sugerem que a felicidade e a liberdade estão ao alcance, desde que você acredite em seus sonhos e no poder de sua imaginação. A música nos convida a abraçarmos a fantasia como uma forma de superar os obstáculos da vida cotidiana e encontrar paz interior. Enfim, "Fantasy" é uma celebração da fé no futuro e no potencial de criar uma vida mais rica e plena. O som característico da banda, com seus arranjos de metais e vocais poderosos, intensifica essa sensação de elevação e inspiração.

    I've been trying to tell people for many year this is the most spiritually complete band of all time. All people have to do is listen and learn.

      You are absolutely correct...the album covers alone....and the music is the perfect breath of fresh air and as close to perfection musically. I absolutely love this song!

    I could only thank my Dad for raising me up the right way with this era of music. This song lives in my life forever.
