Fantasia has released five studio albums Free Yourself (2004), Fantasia (2006), Back To Me (2008), Side Effects of You (2013), The Definition of... (2016), and a holiday album, Christmas After Midnight (2017).
In addition to her music career, Fantasia has also ventured into other pursuits such as publishing, acting, and Broadway. In her memoir "Life is Not a Fairy Tale", she reveals intimate details about herself, including her functional illiteracy. The book was later adapted into a Lifetime movie of the same name in 2006. Directed by famed actress and choreographer Debbie Allen, it received 19 million viewers, making it Lifetime's second-most viewed program of all time.
During 2007, Fantasia was on Broadway performing as Celie in The Color Purple, the hit musical based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker. Her performance had earned rave reviews and helped boost ticket sales as well as her album sales. After her Broadway stint ended in January 2008, Fantasia was back on the road again touring and is said to be preparing for her next studio album.
2. Fantasia is also the first name from the French symphonic metalband Fairyland. They called themselves 'Fantasia' when they made demos like 'Cruel Death' and 'The King'. But when they came with their debute album, they changed their name in Fairyland.
3. Fantasia is a progressive rock band from Pietarsaari, Finland. Originally named St. Marcus Blues Band (founded in 1967), the bassist Markku LΓΆnngren came up with the new name from Amazing Blondel's album called "Fantasia Lindum" and thus changed the name to "Fantasia" in 1973.
The band defined their sound somewhere between progressive rock and hard rock although the sound mainly resembles to those of the other 1970's prog rock bands, such as Finnish compatriots Wigwam and Tabula Rasa. Fantasia released only one self-titled album in 1975 with only 2000 copies sold (which made it a almost a "rarity" amongst the prog rock collectors), but has been reissued on CD by Rocket-Records in 2010.
Line-up: Hannu Lindblom (guitars & vocals), Harri Piha (bass), Karl-Erik RΓΆnngΓ₯rd (drums) and Roul Helantie (organs & piano).
4. Fantasia is an expiremental trap metal band founded by Zxphyr

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time has a way of proving
Just how fastβ theβ years can grow
Andβ we're standing here in
The lifeβ we've built
We took the giant's head on
And learned to grow and face our fears
There's no stopping us now
And as long as you're here by my side
There's no storm that we couldn't survive
I never stopped fighting, fighting for us
There's no mountain that we couldn't climb
There's no ocean, no river too wide
For me to stop fighting, fighting for us
I'll hold your hand through
Laughter and pain we're built through solid
Ground and there's
No weight that we can't bear
You are my home, I protect you at all costs
Standing beside you ready to take the blows
Whatever it costs
And one by one, we'll watch them fall down
There's no stopping us now
And as long as you're here by my side
There's no storm that we couldn't survive
I never stopped fighting, fighting for us
There's no mountain that we couldn't climb
There's no ocean, no river too wide
For me to stop fighting, fighting for us
And when it seems like the
Odds are stacked against us
Our love's a fire that can
Light the darkest night up
We've been through it all
And we won't stop
There's nothing strong enough to
Knock us down
And as long as you're here by my side
There's no storm that we couldn't survive
I never stopped fighting, fighting for us
There's no mountain that we couldn't climb
There's no ocean, no river too wide
For me to stop fighting, fighting for us
Oh, oh, oh uh huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When we can fight with each other

RunningFor MyLife
I want to take a moment to just give props to Fantasia for her vocals on this one. Vocals, vocals, vocals. To me, this is definitely a different sound/arrangement for her, and I love it. I can hear "Fighting" as a movie or tv series soundtrack. We cannot overlook the lyrics....so meaningful. Someone please pitch this song!
