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).

Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't even know how much I love you
You don't even know how I adore you
I bet it would astound you
If I told you now to
Just let all my love surround you
And everytime you call me I start shaking
And me not telling you bout my heart aching
If I told you now that
I wanna let all my love surround you
[Verse:]
If you knew what I thought about you
It's like the best thing I could find
Treat like honeydew, when I'm kissing you
I can't lie
And we're suppose to be just friends
Benefits with no commitments
But I find myself missing you more than I should be
[Pre-Chorus:]
Got a picture of you
I keep it with me
You never knew that it was so deep
Sick over you
Ain't that the truth
And it ain't hard to tell
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Can't believe you don't know about me
Even talk about you in my sleep
All my family knows, straight overdose
I'm you, you, you
Go in my room, and I shut the door
So I can think about your smile some more
Made you out to be the biggest thing to me
Locked up in life
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I'm sitting here in your truck
Going crazy over your touch
And it gets to be to much
(On the daily, if I could keep you with me)
Just a little bit of your time
Wanna give you all of mine
I'm thinking maybe, baby, we should just, baby, we should just try it
[Chorus]
[Continues Until Song Fades]
[While singing in Chorus:]
You don't even know it
I'm crazy, crazy over you
Baby, Baby, Yeah
You don't even know
The song "Surround U" by Fantasia is about a woman's unrequited love for someone she considers just a friend. The lyrics convey her deep feelings for this person, which they are unaware of, as she tries to navigate her emotions while maintaining the façade of friendship. She starts by admitting how much she loves and adores this person, expressing a desire to have her love surround them fully. The chorus is repeated multiple times, emphasizing how much this person means to her, even though they don't seem to notice.
The next verse delves deeper into her emotions and how her love for this person has overtaken her life, "And we're supposed to be just friends/Benefits with no commitments/But I find myself missing you more than I should be." She has a picture of this person with her at all times and talks about them to her family. She is constantly thinking about this person, and it's clear to her that her feelings run deep. The bridge finds her admitting that she can't control herself around this person and how just a little bit of their time would mean the world to her, "Just a little bit of your time/Wanna give you all of mine/I'm thinking maybe, baby, we should just, baby, we should just try it."
In conclusion, "Surround U" is a song about unrequited love and the struggle to hold back feelings for someone who only sees the singer as a friend. The lyrics explore the depth of emotions involved in this situation and the difficulty of wanting more while not wanting to ruin the friendship.
