Fantasy

I love it when lyrics of a song sound like poetry when read. And how the simplicity of the music takes you away with the meaning channeled throughout, even if it is the fewest verses with the fewest lines followed.

More emphasis on the lyrics for this Great Music 4#

Title: Fantasy
Artist: The xx

For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's too soon
But this collision, came mid bloom

Better built to resume

I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy

Don't rest with the less

I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy




The lyrics, more recited than sung, only took about less than a quarter of the song's content. The rest is the most soothing base you will ever hear, and a few perfect one-string guitar plucks to end it.

The meaning is open to interpretation, but the message I'm receiving is the yearning from an unrequited love.

And the last verse, specifically the lines "Don't rest with the less, I'm burning to impress" and "I can be fantasy"
gets me all the time.
