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 Lönngren 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 Rönngård (drums) and Roul Helantie (organs & piano).
4. Fantasia is an expiremental trap metal band founded by Zxphyr
I Wish
Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
Cause I love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
The song "I Wish" by Fantasia details a nostalgic mindset of missed childhood experiences. The lyrics of the song reflect on the memories of being a young, carefree boy with the only worry being what toy to get for Christmas. The artist goes on to reminisce about the feeling of joy that the holiday season brought despite the family sometimes not being able to afford much. Growing up with friends who were a bad influence, the artist recalls getting into trouble with them by sneaking out the back door, despite being instructed not to. This line reflects the desire to push boundaries and not always follow the rules, something that typically occurs during adolescence.
The song delves deeper into the memories of childhood adventures that now seem more precious and valuable as an adult. The lyrics recall memories of stealing money meant for Sunday school to buy candy, smoking cigarettes, and writing graffitis on walls. These actions are viewed in hindsight as wrong but carry a sense of freedom and rebellion that comes with youth. The artist reflects on these moments with a sense of longing, wishing for the days that have now passed.
Overall, the song captures the longing for a moment in time that has passed, with regrets of not cherishing those moments enough. The message woven into this song is to cherish the moments that we're in now because, in hindsight, they may become our fondest memories in the years to come.

Looking back on when I
Reflecting on a past moment in life
Was a little nappy headed boy
Referring to childhood when had unkempt hair
Then my only worry
The only thing that caused concern
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
The primary focus of holiday anticipation
Even though we sometimes
Despite the fact that occasionally
Would not get a thing
Received no gifts
We were happy with the
Content with the
Joy the day would bring
Happiness that the occasion provided
Sneaking out the back door
Escaping from a location unnoticed through the rear exit
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Associating with mischievous companions
Greeted at the back door
Was received at the back entrance
With boy thought I told you not to go outside
Being reminded that an instruction was given not to leave
Tryin' your best to bring the
Attempting to produce
Water to your eyes
Tears in your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
Believing it would prevent her punishment
From woopin' your behind
Physically assaulting you in punishment
I wish those days could come back once more
Wanting to experience those moments again
Why did those days ever have to go
Questioning why that time passed
Cause I love them so
Because those moments were cherished
Brother says he's tellin'
Brother claiming to tell a story
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Brother sharing a potentially embarrassing memory
Just don't tell I'll give you
Offering a bribe to keep the story under wraps
Anything you want in this whole wide world
A generous incentive to remain quiet
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
Mother providing funds for religious education
You trade yours for candy after church is through
Choosing to exchange the money for sweets
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Partaking in illicit behavior by smoking and defacing property
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
Being disciplined for misbehavior by being sent to the principal's office
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
Discovering the wrongdoing in these actions as one matures
But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight
Although it was wrong, it was also enjoyable in the moment
I wish those days could come back once more
Desiring to relive those times
Why did those days ever have to go
Questioning why that period passed
I wish those days could come back once more
Longing to experience that time again
Why did those days ever have to go
Questioning why that time elapsed
