Dear Mr Fantasy

Dear Mr. Fantasy was written as a sort of playful escape from reality, penned at a time when the members of Traffic were living together in a cottage, seeking inspiration. The track carries a psychedelic tone that was popular at the time. The lyrics refer to musics ability to ease sorrow and bring joy, asking Mr. Fantasy to play a tune to make everyone happy.
