About the song
There’s a special kind of magic in songs that turn everyday misfortunes into something whimsical, colorful, and cinematic. Bermuda Triangle by Barry Manilow is exactly that—a playful, sunlit story wrapped in the warm, nostalgic glow of Manilow’s unmistakable voice. It’s the kind of track that feels like a little movie shot on vintage film stock, with soft grain, bright hues, and a breeze carrying the scent of summer.
From the very first notes, the song feels like stepping onto a beach boardwalk in the late afternoon. The sunlight is still warm, but shadows are beginning to stretch; seagulls circle lazily overhead; the ocean glitters like a sheet of blue glass. There’s a sense of adventure in the air, but also humor—like life is about to play one of its small, mischievous tricks.
Manilow’s voice here is playful yet smooth, full of charming theatricality. He leans into each line with that signature wink-in-the-voice tone only he can deliver—warm, expressive, and tinged with nostalgia. He doesn’t just sing about the Bermuda Triangle; he turns it into a metaphor for love’s unpredictable pull, the way someone can vanish from your life as quickly as summer light slipping behind clouds.
Each lyric feels like a scene:
A couple strolling along glittering waves.
A sudden shift in the wind.
A moment of laughter before something—or someone—mysteriously disappears.
But beneath the upbeat rhythm, there’s a tender melancholy. The kind that comes with remembering how easily joy can be swept away, how love sometimes escapes our hands before we even realize we’re reaching for it. Manilow wraps that bittersweet feeling in a bright melody, softening the ache with humor and warmth.
The charm of Bermuda Triangle lies in its tone: nostalgic, summery, cinematic, yet quietly reflective. It feels like a postcard from a place you once visited—full of sun, laughter, and a touch of mystery. And like all great Manilow songs, it lingers long after it ends, leaving you with a half-smile and a memory you can’t quite explain.
