"Fantasy" is Earth Wind & Fire's invitation to a place where the rules of the real world do not apply. Written in 1977, the song asks the listener to imagine a world without limits, a space where every dream is reachable and every door is open. Maurice White understood that the concept of fantasy -- not escapism but expansion -- was the same engine driving the band's entire cosmology. A permission slip to imagine more. You are allowed to dream beyond what you can see.
