Fancy made a comeback in 1998 with the remix of his biggest hit Flames Of Love. It didn't take long to captivate audiences around Europe once again. That year Fancy released Hit Party with remixes of his old hits and some new compositions. Only a year later another album D.I.S.C.O. was released and received very good reviews from the fans since most songs were based on an old Fancy formula which made him a star in the '80s. Then came the album Locomotion in 2001.
The second Fancy (http://myspace.com/welovefancy) is a flamboyant three-piece outfit from the notorious riot zones in the working-class suburbs of Paris.
Mixing AC/DC and T-Rex with the glitter ball sparkle of disco, Fancy comes armed with loads of make-up, feather boas, killer tunes at the ready, and a mountain of glowing press in France - including the "Most Entertaining Group" award from the French newspaper Liberation. Onstage, Fancy has supported MC5, TV on the Radio, Daft Punk and The Rapture.
FANCY also co-wrote the recent Justice hit ‘D.A.N.C.E.’.
“Above all, we’re about making love”, says their singer and resident rock god/dess Jessie Chaton.
The third Fancy is a British white funk band of the 1970's most famous for their cover of the Trogg's "Wild Thing," a single which went gold in the U.S. Former Penthouse pet Helen Court sang steamily, Rick Fenwick ex-of the Spencer Davis Group played guitar, Mo Foster bass, Henry Spinetti drums and Alan Hawkshaw keyboards. Fancy released several subsequent albums replacing Court with Annie Cavanaugh from the cast of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar, but failed to regain the same success.
The fourth Fancy is a San Jose, CA based synth pop band that formed immediately after the dissolution of Volvox. Fancy eventually evolved into the solo project of Proton Pigeon.
A Voice in the Dark
Fancy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heartaches to caress
Win or lose
It doesn't make much odds
Shadows fight shadow fade
It is time not too late
For wakeing
Night must be our daily bread
Or never what they seem
A voice in the dark
Knowing a better kind of love
A voice like a spark
Careless whisper
Of a dove
Secrets told
New and old
Mysteries unfold
Feel in the night
Voices in the dark
Bringing the light
Voices in the dark
Crying in the moonlight
Dying planet's way
Where are those who used to show
The way
Shadows fight shadow fade
It is time not too late
For wakeing
From a dream
Night must be our daily bread
Or never what they seem
The song "A Voice in the Dark" by Fancy is a call to action to embrace the mysteries and unknowns of life while listening to the guiding voice within us. The first verse describes dancing in the moonlight while harnessing heartaches, suggesting a sense of freedom and acceptance of pain. The lines "Win or lose, it doesn't make much odds" further reinforce the message of embracing life as it comes without worrying about the outcome. The next verse talks about the importance of waking up from a dream and seeing reality for what it truly is. Night is metaphorically referred to as daily bread, implying that the darkness and unknowns in life are necessary for sustenance and growth. The chorus highlights the importance of following this mysterious voice in the dark which illuminates our path towards a better kind of love, whispered by the "careless" yet wise voice of a dove. The last verse mourns the loss of wise and guiding souls whose absence has left the planet dying. As before, the chorus stresses the essential role of the voice in the dark, offering guidance and hope in the face of life's unpredictable nature.
