Hello, and welcome to the official web site of Marneen Lynne Fields, and my page advertising my soon to be completed CD of original love ballads, "The Blue Veil Project - A Compilation of Heartfelt Memories."
My musical heritage and singing talent began upon my birth. I'm the middle child of country western singer and square dance caller, Robert Leo Fields II. As a toddler I grew up watching my father practice and perform songs at the microphone. He had a national country western singing and square dance calling show in Minot, North Dakota. I can tell you my dad had the smoothest voice you've ever heard, and he was every bit as talented as Elvis Presley, (who by the way, died on my birthday). Dad told me that I used to sit by his feet when he practiced, and say, "No daddy, it goes like this."

Well, anyway as fate would have it, my gymnastics took me to Hollywood, and brought work to my doorstep as a stuntlady for twelve years. In 1979 I met the actor's actor, Victor French, who I studied the craft of acting with for three years. Thanks to Victor I became a fine dramatic actress, and I'm still an actress today, but back to 1986.
If you don't listen to your true calling when it calls, it will cause circumstances in your life to change abruptly until you are on the right path. So, driving home one day in the mid-eighties, I had a terrible car accident by an uninsured motorist that resulted in a series of abdominal operations, and eight years of painful disibility. Needless to say, I'd now lost everything dear to me in life, the boy I was suppossed to marry, my college scholarship, my stunt/acting career, and other men I'd loved and lost. Unsurmountable losses that brought such pain, suffering, and devastation, that I thought I would surely die from their heartbreaks. I would never be able to survive the changes the twisted hand of fate had brought into my life. But, there's salvation when you find your true calling no matter how difficult your acceptance of previous circumstances has become. For me, at the end of this kind of excruiating pain, suffering, and loss laid a beautiful flower garden. A musical flower garden that's got a few memory weeds of my hard learned lessons of life. Thanks be to God! A majestic garden gated by a Heavenly Waterfall, where Marneen Lynne Fields wears a sheer "Blue Veil" while singing her heart out for the world.
My true calling of singing was trying to get through to me when I was on the gymnastic's team at Royal High School in Simi Valley, California from 1971-1973. Each day while walking to the gym to practice my floor exercise routines I had to pass the music room. I remember wishing that I was the girl in that room doing vocal scales as the teacher played the piano. Then again my true calling, came calling while I was attending Utah State and dating. I didn't really date, I laid on the floor singing James Taylor songs all night until my date said, "Marneen, you sure love to sing." I fell in love with a boy at college named Dan who looked like Brad Pitt, and shared my love for music. He won my heart the night he played "You Are So Beautiful to Me" when we kissed. Dan and I loved listening to Gordon Lighfoot, and Joni Mitchell. When in my college dorm room alone I played Rita Coolidge, Phoebe Snow, Janis Ian, and Elton John's "Yellow Brick Road" for hours on end. I used to play every song, over and over, copying down each word, loving each one with my whole heart. My college friend, Elaine used to say, "Marneen you know the words to every song." Of course I did. Because it was my passion I wrote each word down so I could memorize the melody and lyrics of the song. When a movie came on, I only cared to watch the girl who would stand at the microphone and sing, because that's what made my adrenaline rush and my heart leap.
As my story goes, I lost my college scholarship and my boyfriend Dan at Utah State due to an ankle replacement surgery and moved back to Ventura, California in 1976. It was at this time that I started to write songs to myself and sing them to myself while laying out in the back yard. I would also wake up in the middle of the night and have to write down the lyrics to a song. Would you believe that that list of songs has now grown into several hundred songs? Each song, dedicated to the men who've crossed my path in life, to the men, I've loved and lost.

While healing from my God awful personal tragedy, my true calling could no longer keep quiet. I started taking vocal and keyboard lessons and enrolled in every music course I could find at the local colleges and with private instructors. I also read thirty books on lyric writing and song composition, many from instructors at Berkley School of Music. I walked at the park everyday singing for hours, song's like, Heart/Anne Wilson's "Coming Straight on for You," Pat Benatar's "I Want Out," and Queen's "One Year of Love." But it was Barbara Streisand who I now longed to be, with "We're Not Making Love Anymore," and "Someone that I Used to Love." The more emotional, the more passionate, the more intense the suffering, the loss, or the love, the more I could relate to it, and the more I relished in it. Then, Whitney Houston hit the scene with "All the Man I Need," and Mariah Carey hit the scene with "I Don't Wanna Cry," and Celine Dion with "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." In my opinion, "All the Man I Need" is one of the best love songs ever written.
Everyone of my friends, neighbors, roommates, boyfriends, and family members will tell you that for the past twenty years, Marneen has been singing live at weddings, private parties, dinner shows, and in clubs. They will tell you that since they've known me, that I've recorded lead vocals on fifty top-40 songs, and ten original songs in the studio, and that I've performed as the lead vocalist in seven music videos. Need I say more? Singing and songwriting are my true calling. I will sing for anyone, any time, any where. And, I will write love songs for the rest of my life. "Glad I risked it all for the music."
Who are Marneen Lynne Fields favorite singers? Barbara Streisand and Natalie Cole, "This Will Be." What is Marneen Lynne Fields all time favorite childhood song? "I Love You More Today than Yesterday." I was about ten years old when that came on the radio. I remember I was holding a broom and sweeping the garage. I went crazy, crazy, crazy. I started singing, dancing, and squeeling. I'd never heard anything as perfect and great as that song. I raced down to the store, bought the 45, and started writing down all the lyrics immediately.
Marneen Lynne Fields, photo shoot for her "Victime of Love" music CD. I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss, just like Elton John did. I remember where I was standing and what I was doing as a young girl the day John F. Kennedy was shot. I also remember where I was standing and what I was doing when I was a teenager and heard, "I don't have much money, but boy if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live." "Your Song," by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

What best describes Marneen Lynne Fields voice and the type of songs she writes? Melodic, passionate, romantic, loving, intense, and inspirational pop-rock ballads. Who does Marneen sound most like when she sings? I'm an alto-soprano who has a tonal register and pitch quality very similar to Whitney Houston, just short of the soprano range of Mariah Carey and Barbara Streisand. I've recorded a nearly flawless version of "I Have Nothing," and you would love my heartfelt version of, "Someone that I Used to Love." But, I also sound like no one you've ever heard before. So prepare youself for a sweet, and passionate, emotionally intense, joy ride when you hear my new singles.
