1. English progressive rock… Read Full Bio ↴Several artists by this name, including:
1. English progressive rock group that evolved out of an earlier group called Chapel Hill. Occupying a style somewhere between the pensive sounds of Camel and the song-oriented musings of Cressida, they released one album for Polydor, the acclaimed Paint A Picture, in 1973. A second album, Beyond The Beyond, was recorded a year later, but was not released until 1992, resurrected from obscurity by the Audio Archives label. Audio Archives released a third album, Vivariatum, culled from a 1970 acetate of Chapel Hill recordings, 1976 demo recordings and one B-side (I Was Once Aware) from the band's only single Politely Insane, dating from the Paint A Picture era.
2. American psychedelic rock obscurity, fronted by young female vocalist Lydia Janene Miller. One album released on Liberty Records in 1970.
3. American funk/dance vocal group assembled by producer Tony Valor in 1980. Initially a quartet of two women and two men, their single You're Too Late hit the dance charts in the early 80's. Valor revived the Fantasy name in the early 00's, now comprised of four young women, for two more albums (thus far).
4. Country group that released one album, Steel Toe Cowboy, in 2000.
5. Japanese visual kei band (ＦＡＮＴＡＳＹ)
6. Germany Schlager-Duo (Members: Martin Marcell and Freddy März)
7. Fantasy SF an American psychedelic rock band from San Francisco very active in the 1990s and recently put their music on streaming services. A real gem for fans of the genre and that scene.
Just Because
Fantasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To always stay right by me
Well just because everything
Isn't what I thought it would be
Doesn't mean it's not just
As it should be
I thought I could get you to remind me
To leave my past behind me
Isn't what I thought it would be
Doesn't mean it's not just
As it should be
I thought I'd be further along now
I thought I'd have it all more figured out now
Well just cus I'm not everything
I thought I would be
Doesn't mean I'm not just
As I should be
I thought that I could impress you
Instead I just upset you
Well maybe I have to go through what I have to go through
So I can be here to show you
That just because everything
Isn't what you thought it would be
Doesn't mean it's not just as it should be
And just cus I'm not everything you thought I could be
Doesn't mean I'm not just as I should be
I thought you'd be further along now
I thought you'd have it all more figured out now
Well just cus you're not everything I thought you would be
Doesn't mean you're not just as ya should be
And just cus I'm not everything you thought I could be
Doesn't mean I'm not just as I should be
And just because everything isn't what we thought it would be
Doesn't mean it's not just as it should be
In these lyrics, the singer initially expresses a desire for someone to like them and stay by their side, indicating a sense of longing for connection and validation. However, as the verses progress, the singer reflects on the idea that their expectations may not align with reality. They acknowledge that just because things are not turning out as they had hoped, it does not mean that the outcome is any less valid or "as it should be." This introspection delves into themes of acceptance and understanding that life may not always unfold as planned.
The lyrics also touch upon notions of personal growth and self-reflection. The singer admits to expecting to be further along in life and to have everything figured out by now, highlighting a sense of disappointment in their own progress. Despite this, they come to the realization that not meeting these preconceived notions does not diminish their worth or validity. This part of the song emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and learning to appreciate one's journey, regardless of the detours or unexpected outcomes.
Furthermore, the lyrics explore the dynamics of relationships and the impact of expectations within them. The singer grapples with the idea of impressing others and facing the reality that they may sometimes fall short. However, through this acknowledgment, there is a sense of growth and understanding that the journey, with all its imperfections, is necessary for personal evolution and for potentially inspiring others. The message conveyed is that despite not meeting certain expectations, individuals are still inherently worthy and valuable in their own right.
Finally, the repeated refrain throughout the song serves as a powerful reminder that life's uncertainties and deviations from our plans do not invalidate our experiences or paths. It reinforces the idea that what may seem like a deviation from our presumed course can still be meaningful and "as it should be." These lyrics ultimately advocate for acceptance of the unexpected, finding value in the journey itself, and recognizing the beauty in the midst of life's complexities and challenges.
