Bernice is Looking for Love (All Over the World)

A Pre-Plandemic Effort

Currently, I'm working on a song inspired by January 6. While the music is ready, the lyrics are proving to be more of a challenge—stay tuned for its release. In the meantime, here's a pre-plandemic effort that blends an indie pop sensibility with a touch of Irish/Celtic influence. ChatGPT has crafted this blurb to describe it:

"Bernice is Looking for Love (All Over the World)" is a poignant tale of resilience, reinvention, and the search for connection. Through heartfelt lyrics, it tells the story of Bernice, a woman navigating life’s trials while determined to find love and freedom. With soaring metaphors and a reflective tone, the song captures her journey of overcoming criticism, embracing her independence, and learning to fly free. Uplifting yet bittersweet, it’s a universal anthem for anyone daring to chase their dreams and let go of the past.

Bernice is Looking for Love (All over the World)

Verse 1:
Bernice is looking for love
all over the world
she flies up like a dove
soon she'll be your girl
But trouble seemed to find her
Made it hard for her to grow
Bernice can no longer hide
Time to let her go

Verse: 2
Bernice, she's got a plan:
brewing, all through the years
But all her critics won’t wait
They can’t get over their fears
"You need some time to rebound
Allow yourself to heal"
Bernice has just run off
Patiently playing the field

Chorus:
Where she leads, you must follow
She hopes you’re not too late
Every day she gets stronger, while you wait

Verse 3:
Bernice now takes a stand
The others always ask why
Her heart will skip a beat
that she cannot deny
She’s been separated
taken for a ride
Cast into this limbo
'til she finally decides

Bridge:
I remember her confession
They’re slowly drawing her in
Now she needs to tell me--when love begins

Verse 4:

Instrumental

Chorus:
Where she leads, you must follow
She’s hopes you’re not too late
Every day she gets stronger, and you’ll wait

Verse 5
Bernice leads her own life
No longer stuck in the past
All her debts now erased
They thought for sure she would last
Sad and disappointed
They told her not to stay
Now it’s time to move on
This little dove's sure flown away

Coda (repeat and fade out)

Bernice is looking for love
all over the world
she flies up like a dove
soon she'll be your girl
