Dorian by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music

Oscar Wilde, the nineteenth century Irish romantic poet and playwright, is probably most famous for his novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. The Faustian story line relates to a full length portrait of the eponymous Dorian who makes a wish that his portrait would age instead of himself. ​

Dorian by Doxter S is a fantastical interpretation in music of this Gothic theme. Dorian appears at various times and places chasing after a dream-like companion. The mood is mysterious, the music intoxicating, and at the end Dorian and the music fades away.​

Lyrics

Lived so long, seen it all, Dorian, you don't age

The first time he walked into the place
Was a different man, a different face
People drifting in people drifting out then he heard the sound of a woman shout
Just exactly like in that dream he had that has set the music on fire

The next thing he knew he’s on the stage
With a different girl, a different age
Dancing to the rhythm all syncopating a pounding beat was intoxicating
He felt his heart was alive again it was burning with desire

She had fiery eyes and glowing face
They we're in a passionate embrace
He could smell the scent of her sweet perfume as they danced in circles all around the room
There was music playing inside his head and his mind was all in a daze

They were headed through an open door
Walked into a room he’d seen before
There were velvet curtains all in a line flowing burgundy like a Bordeaux wine
Then they started running with hand in hand through a never ending maze

Lived so long, seen it all, Dorian, you don't age
Hear my song, Dorian, hear the words of the Sage

Now they’re in the palace at Versailles
In a ballroom lined with mirrored tile
Marie Antoinette and The Brothers Grim as Rasputin laughed with his wicked grin
As the music waned and the pictured face Dorian is fading to grey

And he wondered if it ends this way in a
Different place on a different day there was
More to see there was more to do only time would tell change his point of view
See it's relative if you make it last Dorian was fading fast

Dorian turning grey as your mind fades away
Hear my song let it play won't be long fades away
Won't be long fades away

Pray
At night I pray for better days
We turned around and lost our way
It's getting darker every day

The world is colder
There is no room for compromise
If we could open up our eyes
We'd see the sun about to rise

Through stormy weather
New days are dawning
We stand together
A new belonging

It won't take long
To make things right for every wrong
We must remain steadfast and strong
Before a storm there is a calm

Let's come together
We still have choices
If we sing proudly
They'll hear or voices

So let us pray
Pray for a life of better days
Days filled with love
Love and respect in every way

We must stay strong
And everything will be Okay
It won't be long
Before we see some better days

[Bridge]

When we were younger
We were much stronger
We had no hunger
Not any longer

Stand side by side
Without the prejudice and pride
We need our goals to be allied
Let's put our politics aside

We stand together
We are united
Out human spirit
Is reignited

So let us pray
Pray for a life of better days
Days filled with love
Love and respect in every way

We must stay strong
And everything will be Okay
It won't be long
Before we see some better days

So let us pray

Lyrics

Just seventeen, the handmaiden to The Queen 
Was out strolling though the gardens of Tudor
Daydreaming now, she performs a royal bow
She is dancing at the ball with her suitor

She's twirling higher, higher, higher in the air
She's twirling higher, higher, higher lady fair

A lowly Squire is her object of desire, and she
Hopes that he will spy on her dancing
Handsome and bold, if the truth were to be told
He will be a knight one day, she must fancy

He'll take her higher, higher, higher in the air
He'll take her higher, higher, higher lady fair

Caught in her dreams, the young squire so it seems
Has arrived upon the scene with a stallion
A winged steed they both mount him as he kneels
All at once the three take wing like a falcon

They're soaring higher, higher, higher in the air
They're soaring higher, higher, higher Lady Fair

They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the trees
They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the clouds
They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the moon
They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the stars

Sounds like Enya, Secret Garden, Sinead O’Connor

An animated music video is currently in the works at Crimson Studios in McLean, Virginia.

Masquerade by Doxter S on Spotify

Masquerade by Doxter S on Spotify

Masquerade by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs now available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music

There was never a time in recent memory when everyone we know suddenly become phantoms, as we are to them. The entire world placed on a curfew, lock down, socially distanced and emotionally isolated. The impact of recent events will far outlast the so called invisible enemy of which we have become terrified.

Masquerade by Doxter S tells the story from an all too familiar perspective. We are all trapped but desperately crave freedom. The melody is sweet but the lyrics are biting. The chord changes build up to an emotionally charged bridge and defiant chorus.

Lyrics

When the music stops
Everybody dancing please just keep your mask on
Keep your gloves on
And just walk away

I don't want to talk
Really feeling distant from the life that I knew
Feeling so blue
Like to fade away

And every time I try to remember why I just can't hold back the tears
I think about the ways in the good old days when we never had such fears

Want to go back in time, we were doing fine, want to stay outside, let me feel the sunshine

We're Masquerading We're Isolating This social distance Is so frustrating
This is Degrading Not Liberating We're imitating We're Masquerading

Going for a walk
I am feeling social and I just want to talk
Take the mask off
Leave my hideaway

When the madness stops
Everybody living please just keep your head on
Make yourself strong
Everything's Okay

Recall the good old days With our social ways When we never had these fears
Let's all go back in time We were doing fine For so many, many years

We all can stay outside In the bright sunshine We'll be feeling fine We can write the headline

Stop masquerading It was stagnating The social distance Needs some updating
It was degrading Not liberating Let's put a stop to The masquerading

I want to stay outside don't want to hide I've got my life to live
With all the people I've been missing they have so much love to give

Anticipating our liberating the social distance is quickly fading
We are parading and serenading for human comfort that we are craving

We are not waiting we are creating the social fabric of our own making
Let's stop debating procrastinating let's put a stop to the masquerading

When the music stops
Everybody dancing please just take your mask off
Take your gloves off
Live your life your way

Lyrics

EVERY TIME THAT I GET ON THAT TRAIN 
THAT TAKES ME FROM FROM MY HOME AGAIN 
TRY TO KEEP MYSELF FROM FEELING DOWN 
I LOOK BACK WHERE MY HEART BELONGS 

BUT THE ROAD KEEPS GETTING LONGER 
YET MY LOVE KEEPS GROWING STRONGER 
 
SOON I'LL PLACE MY BAGS UP ON THE RACK 
ALL ABOARD THE TRAIN THAT TAKES ME BACK 

TAKE ME BACK WHERE I'M SAFE AND WARM 
RIDE THE TRACK TO YOUR LOVING ARMS 
TAKE ME BACK TO OUR HOUSE AND HOME 
TAKE ME BACK WHERE I BELONG 

TAKE ME BACK BEEN AWAY TOO LONG  
I'LL UNPACK NEVER MORE TO ROAM 
NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN ALONE 
TAKE ME BACK WHERE I BELONG 

I'LL BE ON THE ROAD A MONTH OR SO 
ON LATE NIGHT GIGS OR THE RADIO 
I FEEL SO ALONE ALL ALL ON MY OWN 
MY MIND DRIFTS TO OUR HAPPY HOME 

BUT THE NIGHTS KEEP GETTING LONGER 

AND MY LOVE KEEPS GROWING STRONGER 
SEARCHING FOR THE MEANING THAT I LACK 
BEGGING FOR YOU PLEASE TO TAKE ME BACK
 
TAKE ME BACK IN YOUR LOVING ARMS 
TAKE ME BACK WHERE I'M SAFE AND WARM 
TAKE ME BACK IN OUR HOUSE AND HOME 
TAKE ME BACK WHERE I BELONG 

TAKE ME BACK BEEN AWAY TOO LONG 
I'LL UNPACK NEVER MORE TO ROAM 
NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN ALONE 
TAKE ME BACK WHERE I BELONG 

Mele Kohola by Doxter S on Spotify

Mele Kohola by Doxter S on Spotify

Mele Kohola is Hawaian  for “Singing Whale”.

Each year approximately 4,500 Hawaiian Humpbacks migrate from Alaska to breed, give birth, and bask in the warmer waters of Hawaii.

Kohola begin arriving in Hawaii in November, with the peak of migration and activity occurring in February and March. Scientists speculate that the whales use ocean currents, temperature changes, acoustical cues, and the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way to Hawaii (the most remote island chain in the world).

Most whales remain in Hawaii for 6-8 weeks, with some extending their “vacation” to late May or early June. At the end of their time in Hawaii, the whales return to the food-rich waters of Alaska to feed and replenish their blubber in preparation for their next journey to Hawaii.

Mele Kohola by Doxter S has captured the spirit of freedom, adventure, and love in this singularly moving composition that brings together native rhythms, natural sounds, and the overwhelming compassion we have for our fellow inhabitants on the planet.

Doxter S continues to produce some of the most memorable and heartfelt music available, bringing together catchy melodies, pulsing rhythms, and clever yet meaningful lyrics for what is to date a collection of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

The Butterfly in this song continues her transformation into a human social butterfly. The melody also changes abruptly to reflect the new and exciting life she is seeking. The backing of the violoncello transforms into an overdrive electric guitar with percussion from a full drum set.

Lyrics

Is it in your eyes ?
Is it in your smile?
In the way you kiss my lips
Lingering a while

Little things you do that connect to me
Like a little bridge no one else can see
Pulling me in close irresistibly
You are changing my sensibility

It's been going on
For a long, long time
I complete your sentences
Or do you start mine ?

We can feel our hearts beating double time
All my thoughts are yours All your thoughts are mine
We can take things fast We can take things slow
You know everything, everything I know
I know, I know, I know

I know I,
I have waited a long, long time
I was searching to see a sign
To discover a soul like mine, like mine, like mine

There is chemistry between you and me
It's the way you hold me so tenderly
I can feel your calm and serenity
Fibers of emotion connect to me
Is it sensory Or telepathy
This connection must be our destiny

I can hear a song
Playing in my mind
Then you start to sing along
Happens all the time

Little things you do that connect to me
Like a little bridge no one else can see
You have always been everywhere I go
You know everything, everything I know
I know, I know, I know

I know I,
I will always be by your side
And our conscience will be our guide
And we never will have to run, to run, to run an hide

There is chemistry between you and me
It's the way you hold me so tenderly
I can feel your calm and serenity
Fibers of emotion connect to me
Is it sensory ? Or telepathy ?
This connection must be our destiny
Must be our destiny
