Fantasy

Earth, Wind & Fire

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 the 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 love forever as one

Come to see victory
In the 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 (You will find)
Other kind (Other kind)
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize (Recognize) it's your life now in review

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

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-ah!

And to see victory
In a land called 'Fantasy'
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-ah!

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"

Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh!

Come to see victory
In a land called 'Fantasy'
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-ah!

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

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-ah!

Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh!

    I agree that it's about the spirit making the transition to the afterlife...the life review, your soul is in ecstasy, the glowing light. I had always liked this song, but hadn't given the lyricss much thought until I had a strange experience connected to it. A friend of mine who loved life tremendously was killed in a mototcycle accident. I was driving home from the funeral and felt that he must be really free now and on an amazing trip now leaving the Earth, kind of imagining him watching all of us. "Fantasy" came on the radio just then, and I was amazed when I really listened to the lyrics. It fit perfectly. Now I always think of Joel when I hear it. I think Earth Wind and Fire were/are way ahead of their time. The lyrics sound like "New Age" philosophy. Wonderful song!!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
