Lyrics

It’s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation’s strong

Cold, cold heart
Hardened by you (oh)
Some things lookin’ better, baby
Just passin’ through (no, no, no, no, no)

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no
And this is what I should have said
Well, I thought it, but I kept it hid

Joy T. Barnum – (Flora) Gold

C- We’re like David & Goliath – Bermudian! & we’ll never quit tryin’ -Bermudian! Be like Daniel & the Lions – Bermudian! We’ll always be bold Never do what we’re told Cuz we’re coming in hot & we’re bringing back Gold!
Vs #1 – My mamma told me Know your history Been divin’ in deep With Horton Perinchief We’ve been boxin’ up hills Since ‘76 Then we’re rolling all the wheels From Lewis
C + Vs #2 – She’s been winnin’ this race Since the age of 7 These Paget Hills raised Our Olympic Heaven We’ve been watchin’ on the streets And screaming @ the screens We’ve been watching Duffy’s Tri & now she’s reached her dreams
C-2x Gold Gold Gold Gold-2x Go Flora Go Flora Go Flora Go-2x Go on Flora Come on & bring home that Gold!

Shot on location in Bermuda at the Cathedral by Method Media for The Department of Culture, “Gold (Bermudian)” celebrates the 2021 Tokyo Olympic gold medal won by Flora Duffy in the Triathlon making Bermuda the tiniest nation to ever bring home gold. This makes the second medal for the small but mighty nation marking Clarence Hill as the bronze medal winner in the 1976 games for boxing. Katura Horton Perinchief is the first female human of a darker hue to make it to the Olympics for diving with Jessica Lewis as a multi medal and gold medal winner of the Paralympics. All three hail from the British Independent Territory. This song is a celebration of Bermuda and its resilience!

JOY T. BARNUM – Mind Games @joytbarnum #LennonTribute

Lennon Bermuda is a tribute album and book inspired by John Lennon’s visit to Bermuda in 1980, where he wrote a portion of his Double Fantasy album. The Lennon Bermuda boxed set comprises two discs by various artists with a connection to Bermuda, including Yoko Ono, covering Lennon songs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennon_Bermuda

I first heard the Beatles and the Two Virgins album during my freshman year at Oakwood College but it wasn’t until last year that I explored John Lennon’s solo works and fell in love with Take Your Love Away. I was hooked and Mind Games was arranged with me in mind by Felix Tod and David Ayers.  My parents are in love with this version and I wasn’t short of amazed! J.T.B

Bermuda: a haven of natural beauty and mecca for international business. But also home to some of the deadliest roads in the world. For a small island, fatalities and severe injuries from road crashes in Bermuda eclipse the rest of the developed world and pose a national health crisis that impacts thousands. But what is being done to arrest the blood flow? Shot over a 9 month period including raw footage from ambulances and trauma room at the ER, A Piece of the Rock explores the cultural causes that underlie Bermuda’s road crash rates and points to the simple solutions that can make a big difference.

Joy T. Barnum – Island Home – Bermuda

Produced by Alia Hamza. ‘Island Home’ was the winner of the 2nd Bermuda Department of Tourism Video Competition, December 2012.

Joy is a popular Bermuda musician. Her culturally diverse background is reflected in the range of her musical tastes – from rock to country, gospel, jazz and opera. Bermuda is a constant source for Joy. Spittal Pond Nature Reserve offers tranquility and natural beauty, giving Joy a chance to work on her songwriting. Rock Island Coffee is one of her favorite places to go because “all walks of life come here.” The walls of the coffee shop are filled with colourful Bermudian art, sparking the imaginations of all who visit. Rock Island roasts its own coffee, too. “If you’re into coffee, this is the place,” Joy says. “In the wintertime, you can get an eggnog latte.” She recommends you check out the bulleting board here to see what events are happening on the island. Joy loves wandering amidst the seaside caves at Admiralty House. “There’s so much more than just the beach,” she says. For lunch, she recommends the island favorite, Art Mel’s, where you can dig into a giant fish sandwich.
