Canyons by Doxter S on Apple Music

Canyons by Doxter S on Apple Music

The canyon lands of southwestern United States may be the most beautiful part of this continent. The Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Glen Canyon are in Arizona. Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon are in Utah. They are visited by millions or tourists from all over the world every year. The ancestors of our Native Americans arrived thousands of years earlier. The Navajo and Hopi residents continue a tradition of devotion and reverence to this wondrous landscape. Canyons by Doxter S captures the spirit of this land and its people in a song based on the Native Flute.
The melody uses a simple pentatonic scale in a minor key. The percussion is a Native Hand Drum. The female vocalist sings sweetly. The lyrics contrast a modern day romance with the centuries old story of the people inhabiting this spectacular place. The Hopi pray and dance for rain. Kokopelli plays his Magic Flute. The singer refers to her lover, once upon a time together hiking, rafting, and camping here. Then the flame went out. It ended much too soon.
Canyons by Doxter S is hopeful but melancholy. There is mystery, wonderment, joy, and sadness. The canyon lands remains as a foundation for continuation and renewal. The song is both spiritual and uplifting. Just listen with your eyes shut and you can see Kokopelli playing to his Hoodoo audience.

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.

 Soft and sweet she walkin' up that street 
 My baby like to meet then we go out to eat 
 Then we just take it slow she show me how to go

 My baby does it right we go into the night 
 Everythin' outa sight until the mornin' light 
 Then we stayin all day wastin' our time away 
 That what we like 
 

 Spent some time tryin' to change my mind
 My baby warm and kind someone so hard to find 
 Then I forget my fear after so many year 
 

 My baby so sincere whisperin' in my ear 
 My baby does it right we go into the night 
 Everythin' outa sight until the mornin' light 
 Then we stayin all day wastin' our time away 
 That what we like 
 We're at the park - She Like It! 
 It's gettin' dark - She Like It! 
 We're holdin' hands the whole night through 
 

 When we get home - She Like It! 
 We're all alone - She Like It! 
 And you can bet I like it too 
 We don'tplan it 
 It's organic 
 We take time to Get romantic 
 

 She Like It! Me Like It! She Like It! 
 We Like It! She Like It! Me Like It!

 My baby does it right we go into the night 
 Everythin' outa sight until the mornin' light 
 Then we stayin all day wastin' our time away

 She is my one and only 
 Don't like to see her lonely 
 Don't like to see my baby blue 
 Well maybe I'm a psychic

 And you can bet I like it too 
 

 She Like It! Me Like It! She Like It! 
 We Like It! She Like It! Me Like It!

Dorian by Doxter S on Apple Music

Dorian by Doxter S on Apple Music

Dorian by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on 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

Lyrics

I’m addicted to you … Ooh … Ooh … Ooh
Tell me why, tell me why I can’t ignore you, be alone at night, be without you
Now I find, I must try to steal away time, always on my mind, you have made me blind
Your laugh your smile I linger a while, your lips and your voice they leave me no choice
I’m trapped by you, can’t you see … That’s what you did to me I’m addicted to
your hands your touch I need them so much I feel I can’t breathe the moment you leave I can’t wean myself from you … there’s nothing I can do
I’m addicted to you … Ooh … Ooh … Ooh
You are like, you are like that magic potion, Number Nine of Love, and emotion
Even now, I know better than to follow, I have lost my will, I must have my fill
Your clothes your smell I’m under your spell your neck and your arm I’m trapped by your charm a thigh you brush up to mine … tingles run up my spine I’m addicted to
your hands your touch I need them so much I feel I can’t breathe the moment you leave I can’t wean myself from you there’s nothing I can do
I’m addicted to you … Ooh … Ooh … Ooh
Your head your face your warming embrace your hair and your eyes so bright and so wise I feel it down to the bone … I can’t leave you alone I’m addicted to
your hands your touch I need them so much I feel I can’t breathe the moment you leave I can’t wean myself from you … there’s nothing I can do I’m addicted to you
I’m addicted to you … Ooh … Ooh … Ooh
I’m addicted to you

Lyrics

I'm standing here looking out your door See so many things I never saw before and I think to myself this is going to be my day 

The likes of me with the likes of you Feeling like my dreams have all come true Never thought I'd ever fall in love this way 

For many years I lived my life alone 
The first time in my life I feel I might be coming home 

So many doors I've crossed 'till I found you
So many places, many faces, never a heart so true 
Forget about fame, forget about foolish pride 
When I close this door this time I stay inside  

We're standing here outside your door With so many joys of life in store and We talk about our future where and when
The days of spring are getting long My love for you is growing strong Never thought I'd ever feel this way again 

So many days I spent my nights alone 
You turned my life around. You see a man who's found his home 

So many doors I've crossed 'till I found you 
So many places, many faces, never a heart so true 
Forget about fame, forget about foolish pride 
When I close this door this time I stay inside

Lyrics

Do what you want to, you don’t need to know where to start
Don’t ask for directions, you just need to follow your heart
Forget what they told you, and don’t get confused by The Man
Just take my advice ’cause I know that you’re part of the plan
Everything’s easy when you get inspired, just follow your dreams no permission required
It’s your own Bizness, you just gotta do what you please
As God is my witness, your life’s gonna feel like a breeze
Just ask for forgiveness, whenever you think you might fall
Then do what you want to it’s nobody’s Bizness at all
Everyday people just trying to make their own way
Working three jobs they got too many bills left to pay
Late in the evening they gather around for a meal
Singing and dancing they’re trying to keep it all real
Everyone’s waiting for when the week ends
Working to live life with family and friends
(Chorus)
(Spoken)
The doctor, the Rabbi, the Priest and the lawyer
They give you advice but they tend to annoy you
The butcher, the baker, the lowly brick layer
We all become equal whether sooner or later
The government worker who’s taking the census
We must forgive those who may trespass against us
Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you
A Sunday School lesson I’ve found that it seems to be true
Just take it easy because at the end of the day
Your life will be judged by the things that you do and you say
Just live your life and treat others with care
Follow your heart you can live anywhere
It’s your own Bizness you just gotta do what you please
As God is my witness your life’s gonna feel like a breeze
Just ask for forgiveness whenever you stumble
Redemption is endless you must remain humble
Then do what you want to it’s nobody’s Bizness at all

Bargain by Doxter S on Apple Music

Bargain by Doxter S on Apple Music

Doxter S has 73 original songs on ReverbNation, also available on Spotify and Amazon. Doxter S published 12 new songs in 2019 (Butterfly, Dancers, Form A Line, Amazing, Mountain, Everywhere, and Dorian) and continues in 2020 with Bargain.

Bargain

Bargain by Doxter S is a soulful and lamenting song about a love that is well beyond it’s Sell-By Date.  The theme is reflective of the happier early years of romance that give way with time to eventual resentment and the ultimate demise of the relationship.

Bargain by Doxter S refers to a Lover’s Bargain that exists in many idealized love affairs that seems to ignore the true risks and realities of life and love.

This lover’s lament is in the style of a ballad in 6/8 rhythm accompanied by piano, pedal steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, and violoncello. 

Bargain by Doxter S sounds like: Willie Nelson, Dan Tyminski, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash.

Butterfly

Butterfly by Doxter S started out sounding like a nursery rhyme song. The opening melody is very fanciful and sweet. The quintessential nature of the butterfly is her transformation from caterpillar during metamorphosis. This transformation needed expression in music.

Daybreak

Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box.

Dancers

Dancers by Doxter S is a dance fantasy with a latin beat. This song evokes the nightlife in Buenos Aires, Argentina and the tango dancing that originated there.

Form a Line

This upbeat song has more energy and less sweetness (than my last wedding song) and will get everyone crowding the dance floor dancing vigorously singing and shouting along with the band.

Amazing by Doxter S

Doxter S has taken inspiration from “Amazing Grace” to create a totally new and original song simply entitled “Amazing”. Sung by a choir, with instrumental accompaniment, Amazing by Doxter S picks up the tempo and lifts the spirit even higher than ever before possible.

This is an upbeat revival style song that echoes the traditional song Amazing Grace in one refrain, but has it’s own upbeat character that will bring the entire congregation to its feet.

Amazing by Doxter S uses pounding percussion, lively hand claps, a variety of spiritual verses, and unforgettable chorus sections. The church organ, electric bass, and electric piano join tied percussion section in support of the choir. The effect is, in a word, Amazing!

Mountain by Doxter S

We were seated at a local Family Restaurant in McLean, Virginia and noticed the middle of the benches were higher. We laughed because we have a similar hump in the middle of our well used bed at home. I described it as a Mountain between us and we both laughed.

I decided that was enough to write a song describing the way couples can become separated even when they are together. This is a very soulful, melancholy love song that I sing with acoustic guitar.

Everywhere by Doxter S is an upbeat, latin rhythm, inspirational song dedicated to a very happy new couple starting out their new life together with a dance and a promise to keep traveling and dancing together, leaving behind all the worries and complications of daily life.

Dorian by Doxter S is a musical interpretation of the Gothic novel by Oscar Wilde – “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. 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.

Found a good woman, I Knock on her door, and when I Finally get in, it seems I've Been there before, I get that Feeling every time we meet 

When I get inside, I feel the Temperature rise, she got the Stereo on, and she looks Into my eyes, and she says Baby, can you feel the beat? 
 
We stand there swaying music playing Dancing to the song, playing Smooth Operator all night long 

A glass of wine, lose track of time, I'm Strumming to the beat, and then she Says to me, Baby, can you feel the heat?

Can you feel the beat? 
Can you feel the heat? 
Can you feel the beat? 
Can you feel the heat? 
And then she Says to me Baby, can you feel the heat? 

Beautiful woman, I Spend all my time, and when my Mind starts to wandering she Keeps me in line with gentle Whispers, whispers soft and sweet 

She's so warm and kind, she drives me Out of my mind, she got the Stereo on, and she looks Into my eyes, and she says  Baby, can you feel the beat? 

We stand there swaying music playing Dancing to the song, playing Smooth Operator all night long 

A glass of wine, lose track of time, I'm Strumming to the beat, and then she Says to me, Baby, can you feel the heat? 

Can you feel the beat? 
Can you feel the heat? 
Can you feel the beat? 
Can you feel the heat?
And then she Says to me, Baby, can you feel the heat?

Lyrics

No misunderstanding. Misunderstanding all the time. 
What I meant to say was, I meant to say that we're just fine. 
Bad communication. Must be some static on the line. 

What you saying, Baby? Misunderstanding what you say. 
You say you're telling me you're leaving? You got me begging you to stay.Hey I'm talking with you Baby. Then you just turn and walk away. 

Where're you going, Baby? Our new relationship is fine. 
You're always playing with that hound dog. You know he ain't no 
friend of mine. 
Hey I'm talking with you Baby. Misunderstanding all the time. 
 
No misunderstanding. Misunderstanding all the time. 
What I meant to say was, I meant to say that we're just fine. 
Bad communication. Must be some static on the line. 

That dog of yours is crazy. Ain't got no brains inside his head. 
I say, that dog of yours is lazy. He's always sleeping in my bed. 
That dog is misbehaving. Misunderstanding what I said. 

Not complaining, Baby. I get upset when we're apart. 
I just have this passion. I have this passion of the heart. 
Just some misunderstanding. Misunderstanding from the start. 

No misunderstanding. Misunderstanding all the time. 
What I meant to say was, I meant to say that we're just fine. 
Bad communication. Must be some static on the line.

No misunderstanding. Misunderstanding all the time. 
What I meant to say was, I meant to say that we're just fine. 
Bad communication. Must be some static on the line.
