“Miss Fantasy” is Track 4 on Fleetwood Mac’s 2013 digital release Extended Play (EP).
About the Song
Lindsey Buckingham: “‘Miss Fantasy’ is about having a dream, recalling certain events that occurred years and years ago. The chorus is talking about ‘Miss Fantasy, it may be that you don’t remember me, but I remember you.’ That’s addressing all that’s happened over the course of time. You remember the person you were and the person I was back then? Is there any way to find any of that? Do we want to? Is it important to? Those are songs about Stevie and me.”
“That was sort of in a moment when I’d had some interaction with Stevie where I felt like I was tapping into the whole lexicon of memories and of emotional connections going all the way back to before she and I were a couple. She was really much caught up in the world of her solo effort. It was right at the end of that and I felt like it was hard to kind of find her in all of that or that perhaps more accurately, it was harder for her to find me, and the person that she knew and trusted and so you know, “Miss Fantasy,” it may be “you don’t remember me/but I remember you” and that’s really what that’s about.”
Lyrics
I had another dream of you last night
Sailing on the sea of blue
You were grieving for someone else
I was grieving for you
Miss Fantasy
It may be you don’t remember me
But I remember you
In between the shadow and the song
In between the black and blue
From a window I heard your voice
Telling me you were through
Miss Fantasy
It may be you don’t remember me
But I remember you
Miss Fantasy
I can see you don’t remember me
But I remember you
Do you still tremble when I fall
Will you still answer when I call
Would you still love to linger up against the wall
Everyone whispers when you go
Into the silence soft and low
Ten thousand voices crying
On with the show
Everybody’s seen you shine your light
Everybody knows it’s true
And you’re the queen of the underground
Never leaving a clue
Miss Fantasy
It may be you don’t remember me
But I remember you
Miss Fantasy
I can see you don’t remember me
But I remember you
I remember you
I remember you
I remember you
I remember you
