Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize…

Tuneage: "Fantasy" , by Earth, Wind & Fire from their album All 'N All, released as a single in 1978, written and composed by Maurice White, Verdine White, and Eddie del Barrio, and it reached #32 on the pop chart and #12 on the R&B singles chart in the United States, and #14 on the UK singles chart. "Fantasy" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Song. After its release in Japan as a digital single to cellphones in 2009, it was certified gold for 100,000 downloads in May 2011.
