REMEMBERING TERRY- a tribute to Terence Marinan

See you later, my friend. Thanks for the great times, you were truly a fearless spirit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIP Terence Marinan, a powerfully gifted artist whom it was my great pleasure to call friend and colleague. He knew classic film and theater inside and out. I’ll miss his smile, conversations late into the night over whisky at his place up on the hill, and his friendship. I’ll also miss that ever-present twinkle in his eye when we did scene-work together. This is Terry and I, from my film (OUR film) THE DR JEKYLL & MR HYDE ROCK N ROLL MUSICAL (Cheers to you Terry, maybe the world never quite caught on to your greatness as an artist, but many of us lucky ones did. You won’t be forgotten) Lift your glasses “Here’s to friendship! Here’s to YOU!”

EVERYTHING IS FINE
words & music by Alan Bernhoft

I see you standing all alone
Looking like you might’ve missed the train
Thinking of the moments that you’ve blown
Well my advice is fall in love again
Cause in love, everything is fine

I see you wondering what to do
I notice that your life seems quite mundane
Can you see?
There’s something more to being
Something well worth seeing inside

In love, everything is fine
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In love, everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine

Do you see the love inside of me?
And don’t you feel it there inside of you?
Do you see?
You’ve got so much potential
Your life is consequential to all

In love, everything is fine
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In love, everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine

In love, everything is fine
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In love, everything is fine
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In love, everything is fine
(yeah, yeah, Oh, no)
In love, everything is fine
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You Thing

You Thing
(words & music by Alan Bernhoft)
http://www.cdbaby.com/alanbernhoft

A church without a steeple came calling to its people
“The kingdom is within, you merely have to look inside”
At first the people floundered, their aimlessness abounded
Till slowly one by one, they simply had to go in stride

A light shone from within, their journeys did begin

The world was then a new one, a yellow and a blue one
A kind of love from deep within was shining everywhere
I tell you not to tease you, to hold you or appease you
This simply is the future when a heart begins to share

A light shines from within, and journeys can begin

Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing
Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing
Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing
Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing

A church without a steeple came calling to its people
“The kingdom is within, you merely have to look inside”
The world was then a new one, a yellow and a blue one
A kind of love from deep within no longer had to hide

A light shines from within, your journey then begins

Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing
Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing
Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing
Do the thing you do, In the time you time
You Thing

Sunshine Girl (featuring Melody!)

Sunshine Girl
words & music by Alan Bernhoft
featuring Melody!

She makes me happy
When I’m away
She brings me sunshine
on a cloudy day

When we’re together
That’s when I see
Sparkles and laughter
And what a love can be

And I know it’s the way that she’s feeling
A look in her eye and a wave of her hair
Something inside me is reeling
She got sunshine!
She got sunshine!

She’s a SUNSHINE GIRL! She got Sunshine!
She’s a SUNSHINE GIRL! She got Sunshine!
I know I’ll never be alone, long as I got my girl!

Growing Older

GROWING OLDER
(words & music by Alan Bernhoft)

We’re all growing older as we go
In the end we’ll be moving rather slow
We cannot wait till then to finally see
It’s all been put right here for you and me

We’re all growing older day by day
We’re driving off the shoulder as we play
Do we ever stop to look for something true?
Will I ever see the love inside of you?

Looking high and low and looking all around all of the time
Baby, when I get it I’m a gonna be doin’ so fine
It’s a just a matter of a time and I think you’ll see
Soon you’re gonna find that it’s gonna be a matter of
Me

It’s looking quite peculiarly good
Who’s to say it shouldn’t or it should?
Who’s to make the morals and the rules?
Who’s involved except a bunch of fools?

Looking high and low and looking all around all of the time
Baby, when I get it I’m a gonna be doin’ so fine
It’s a just a matter of a time and I think you’ll see
Soon you’re gonna find that it’s gonna be a matter of
Matter of, matter of, matter of
Me

We’re all growing older as we go
In the end we’ll be moving rather slow
We cannot wait till then to finally see
It’s all been put right here for you and me
It’s all been put right here for you and me

Magic Everywhere

Magic Everywhere
words & music by Alan Bernhoft
(From the feature film, DESPERATELY SEEKING PAUL McCARTNEY)

Why do you and me pretend we’re not free,
when there’s magic in the air?
Who wants to pretend it’s not in you and not in me,
when there’s magic everywhere?
And though you may say no, no, no,
I know this much is true
Who knows?
There may be magic there in you

Why do you and me pretend we’re not free,
when there’s magic in your eyes?
Who wants to pretend it’s not in you and not in me,
when there’s magic in the skies?
And though you may say no, no, no,
I know this much is true
Who knows?
There may be magic there in you

Magic Everywhere, Magic Everywhere,
Magic Everywhere, Magic Everywhere

Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round

Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round
(words & music by Alan Bernhoft)

Do you want to go farther than you’ll ever know?
Do you want to take a cruise to that final isle?
Do you want to see? Then come along with me
Do you want to take the time to meet the man behind the smile?

Oh Mary, Go Round
You get too much sun and you drown
Your mind’s an endless brass ring array
Spinning round and round

Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round
Spinning round and round
Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round
Spinning round and round
Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round

Do you want to feel something in your life is real?
Do you want to take a giant step beyond the other side?

Oh Mary, Go Round
You’re no sooner up, then you’re down
Your intuition leads you astray
Spinning round and round

Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round
Spinning round and round
Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round
Spinning round and round
Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round

Oh Mary, Go Round
You get too much sun and you drown
Your mind’s an endless brass ring array
Spinning round and round

Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round
Spinning round and round
Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round
Spinning round and round
Winter Ocean Mary, Go Round

I can see you, you don’t see me

I can see that you don’t see me

(I’ll Be Hers) Someday

(I’ll Be Hers) Someday
words & music by Alan Bernhoft and Jack Wayne Baker

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bernhoft7

a dreary day, that should have gone my way
Still there’s the thought that I need her
and I should know, there’s nowhere I can go
no place where my love didn’t greet her

I’ll look about, find another route
maybe I could use a glass of water
and on the floor, crumpled like before
the lilies and roses that I bought her

I’ll find a way, I’ll be hers some day, someday

it’s raining outside and in my mind
and I’m telling you, you’ve been unkind
it’s thundering outside and in my mind
and I’m telling you, you’ve been unkind
you’ve really been unkind
you’ve really been unkind

I aid a debt, had a cigarette
reached over and spiller my glass of water
and from my room, I caught a distant tune
you wouldn’t like to know the things I taught her
I’m feeling love, what’s she thinking of? I know…

I can’t begin to explain my feelings
they’re confusing me, they’re confusing me
have you no regard for my feelings?
you’ve been using me, you’ve been using me

it’s raining outside and in my mind
and I’m telling you, you’ve been unkind
it’s thundering outside and in my mind
and I’m telling you, you’ve been unkind
you’ve really been unkind
you’ve really been unkind

FOLLOWING RAINBOWS

words & music by Alan Bernhoft

I wandered out into the rain to quiet down my mind

Somewhere in the dark of night a light begins to shine

Dancing through a field of stars along a moonlit shore

A shady path that takes me to a place I’ve been before

I can’t say where I have been

I only know I wanna go again

Traveling with a beautiful friend

Following Rainbows

Colorful rainbows

Time and time I must’ve flown out past the Milky way

Floating on a mist of clouds I watched the violets play

A drizzle from a willow tree creates a golden stream

Flowing down a mountainside and crashing through my dream

I don’t know where I have been

I only know I wanna go again

Traveling with a magical friend

Following Rainbows

Colorful rainbows

I can’t say where I have been

I only know I’m gonna go again

Traveling with a luminous grin

Following Rainbows

Colorful rainbows

Take my hand and come along with me

Following Rainbows
