Form a Line by Doxter S on Apple Music

Form a Line by Doxter S on Apple Music

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. Form a Line is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. Or Listen here:

I wrote a song for a wedding this year [Everywhere by Doxter S] that was light and airy and sweet. I imagined the young newlyweds dancing to it. [on another planet]. The real wedding dances were very different and everyone was crowding the dance floor. They all knew the melodies and lyrics and sang along while dancing vigorously. I was impressed that a wedding song needs to have more energy, less sweetness, a simpler melody, and lyrics everyone would sing. After finishing this song I needed a title. I remembered John Travolta as the Angel Michael (1996) saying that when he first came to earth everyone was just milling around. Michael told them to “Form a Line”.

Dancers by Doxter S on Apple Music

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. Dancers is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple music.

Traveling through the mountains in western Virginia we were listening to local college radio from UVA. As we crossed to the western slope the station changed to a latin program from West Virginia entirely in Spanish. That was the inspiration for this song. Initially I wrote something more humorous with a Mariachi style. I placed that aside and reconfigured the melody into a Tango style instead. The lyrics and title are changed as well.

The singer recalls her experience as a tourist and the lasting impression that stays with her. She carries in her memory the dancers that so impressed on her the beauty and grace of the Tango. She dreams of herself becoming a tango dancer in Buenos Aires.

Dancers by Doxter S includes the traditional instruments used for the tango. The familiar Bandoneon is an essential component, along with latin percussion using conga, wood blocks, and tambourine. A cello and acoustic bass complete the instrumental support for this tango dance.

Lyrics

Instrumental Intro 

It was not many years ago 
I flew away to Argentina 
In Buenos Aires for the Summer 
I found an open air Cantina 
I tasted wine and sampled Tapas 
The cobbled streets were filled with couples 

I watched the young tango dancers perform in the square 
They moved with beauty and grace they seemed lighter than air 

Instrumental Break

One special dancer caught my fancy 
She was a raven haired romantic 
Her flashing eyes and pouting boca 
Made every movement look dramatic
Her partner held her in possession 
They danced together with expression 

I felt the music they danced to was played just for me 
Their every movement was perfectly timed to the beat 

Long Instrumental Break

I see that dancer when I'm dreaming
And how I wish that I could be her 
When I was younger I was wiser 
I saw that beauty was inside her 
The music carries like a whisper 
I dream that I am dancing with her 

Next to a garden with flowers that glow in the light 
I would be dancing for hours the moon shining bright 

Instrumental Break

Play the music that they dance to just for me

Instrumental Break

It seems so many years ago 
I flew away to Argentina 
In Buenos Aires for the Summer 
I found a open air Cantina 
I tasted wine and sampled Tapas 
The cobbled streets were filled with couples 

I was a young tango dancer alone in the square 
I moved with beauty and grace I was lighter than air

Instrumental

Buenos Aires Argentina in my dreams
I still dream I’m dancing tango in the night

Butterfly by Doxter S on Apple Music

Butterfly by Doxter S on Apple Music

Butterfly by Doxter S on Apple Music 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.

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.

Butterfly is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

Lyrics

I am just a butterfly  Feel Free  
Painted wings on purple flowers Real Me 
I emerge from my cocoon Hide Me 
After all the April showers Seek Me 
You will see me flutter by Hold Me 
In the garden there for hours Feel Me 

But when I'm in the mood 
I shed my innocence 
I’ll dance around the moon 
I only need the chance 

Butterfly Butterfly trying to multiply 
Everyone satisfy on my mind in my eye 
I go out in the night everything is alright 
As I dance in the light of the moon 
I'm a Butterfly just a Butterfly 
I'm a Butterfly of the Night 

I'm a social butterfly Friendly 
Painted lips and big eyelashes Lovely 
I won't stay inside my room Lonely 
Grab my phone and my Sunglasses Meet Me 
Everybody passing by Find Me 
Turn their heads to watch me dancing See Me 

And if I'm in the mood 
I lose my innocence and 
Dance around the room 
I go into a trance 

Butterfly Gratify Please be my Alibi 
Private eye Counterspy Don't need to justify 
Butterfly Lullaby Mystify Me 

Butterfly Butterfly trying to multiply 
Everyone satisfy on my mind in my eye 
I go out in the night everything is alright 
As I dance in the light of the moon 
I'm a Butterfly just a Butterfly 
I'm a Butterfly of the Night 

Butterfly Gratify Please be my Alibi 
Private eye Counterspy Don't need to justify 
Butterfly Lullaby Mystify Me

I am just a butterfly Feel Free 
Painted wings on purple flowers Real Me

Lyrics

She got me waitin’ here ‘till dawn
I think I waited far too long
I’m waiting’ ‘till I see her face
I think she found a hidin’ place
She hot me waitin’ here all night
I’ll wait until the mornin’ light
I’m alone I been waitin’ al night
For too long ‘till the dawn ’til the light

We met the first time at sunrise
She had black magic in her eyes
But there was something in her smile
I though I’d stay with her a while
We stayed together for the night
Together ‘till the mornin’ light

I’m alone I been waitin’ all night
For too long ‘till the dawn ’til the light

We have some history some mystery as well
I need to see her face I’m caught up in her spell
My head is reelin’ had that feelin’ for so long
I made my choice now I must wait wait until the dawn

She got me waitin’’ all the time
I know the fault is surely mine
I call a dozen times each day
I don’t know why she stays away
She got me waitin’ here all night
I’ll wait until the mornin’ light

I’m alone I been waitin’ all night
For too long ‘till the dawn ’til the light

We have some history some mystery as well
I need to see her face I’m caught up in her spell
My head is reeling’ had that feeling’ for so long
I made my choice now I must wait wait until the dawn
I’ll wait until the dawn
I’ll wait until the dawn

Lyrics

Woke up this morning don't know why I'm feeling so blue Think I need a break 
Picked up a paper and I saw a picture of you You are looking great 
It's been so long since we spoke, wouldn't know what to say It's embarrassing
Hi, how've you been, I'm alright, hope you have a nice day Then you just walk away 
I
'm really not doing well since I last I talked to you No denying it 
Searching for answers without even having a clue I keep trying it 
You always had the right questions, knew just what to do You were confidant 
I could rely on you to do the right thing. Then you... Then you just walked away 

Don't know why you walked away Think about it every day 
You found fortune, you found fame But to me you stayed the same
Don't know why I feel so blue I feel lost since I lost you 
Try to live another day Without you I'll waste away 

Woke up this morning and I saw a picture of you From a year ago 
Hair like an angel with eyes that are brilliantly blue Blue like indigo 
It's been so long since we kissed I've forgotten your taste It's been on my mind 
I need to see you again, there is no time to waste I'm just wasting away 

Our days together were probably the best of my life No denying now 
Maybe I should have done more should have made you my wifeI'm not lying now 
It's been so long since I held you so tight in my arms You've been on my mind
I need to hold you again, feel your body so warm Don't you dare walk away 

I feel lost since I lost you Hope you feel the same way too 
We're a thousand miles apart But you're right here in my heart 
You know why I feel so blue I found hope when I found you 
Stay with me another day You can wash my blues away 

Make my blues go away Make my blues go away

Lyrics

We are two of a kind Both of heart and of mind 
You and I are the same There is no one to blame 
When I look in your eyes Can't tell truth from the lies 
Was it all just a game? I loved you just the same 

I was thin, I was funny I was making lots of money And we played together passionately 
You were young, you were pretty You were sexy, you were witty 
And you couldn't keeps your hands off of me 

I thought that I was dreaming I thought that you were scheming I thought that I would give you a shot 
When the tension releases We'll be picking up the pieces Of a love that was burning too hot 

You were eager to boast We were better than most 
We were lovers and friends With elaborate plans 
When I look in your eyes Can't tell truth from the lies 
Was it all just a game? I loved you just the same 

We were in a love affair  Everybody turned and stared Every time that we walked into a room 
We would hold each other tight We were dancing through the night At a party that was ending too soon 

I thought that I was dreaming I thought that you were scheming I thought that I would give you a try 
When the passion decreases We'll be picking up the pieces Of a love that has finally gone dry 

You liked all of my jokes You were nice to my folks 
 You were kind to my friends Were they means to an end? 
When I look in your eyes Can't tell truth from the lies 
Was it all just a game? I loved you just the same 

We were spending all my money Then something happened Honey 
It must have been the look in your eye 
Couldn't help but believing Now you were deceiving And interested in some other guy 
This was something like treason You wouldn't give a reason I thought that you were way out of line 
When the name calling ceases  We'll be picking up the pieces Of a love that had run out of time 

There is not much to tell I know you pretty well
You've got needs and desires I'm just not good with liars 
When I look in your eyes Can't tell truth from the lies 
Was it all just a game? I loved you just the same 
I loved you just the same It was all just a game

Lyrics

Things change between the lives of you and me 
Ties strain then break away
Seems strange we are too blind for us to see 
Brings pain for me to say 
There's a cabin up high where the wind just rustles by
And the birds sing a welcoming song 
I'm alone but I try to survive I don't deny 
Had not known that our time would be gone

Things change between the lives of you and me 
Ties strain then break away
Seems strange we are too blind for us to see 
Brings pain for me to say 

We first met in the spring by the fall I bought a ring 
We were certain our future was bright 
But the winter was cold if the truth were to be told 
With the days just as dark as the night 

Things change between the lives of you and me 
Ties strain then break away
Seems strange we are too blind for us to see 
Brings pain for me to say 

We were young when we met it's so easy to forget 
My heart doesn't recall but it tries  
We are born and we die without learning how or why  
We are torn that our feelings are lies 

Things change between the lives of you and me 
Ties strain then break away
Seems strange we are too blind for us to see 
Brings pain for me to say 

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

Better Days

There has been a lot going on in the last 6-months. What seems to be an upheaval in societal relations may be part of a natural evolution of human thought. Better Days by Doxter S provides a musical representation of these troubled times.

The melody is in a minor key that adds pathos to the relevant lyrics. Despite the melancholy there is also great hope. The song begins and ends with the word “Pray”. There is hope fore redemption in this prayer. There is optimism for humanity.

Connection

Connection by Doxter S is a love song in Em that starts out slow but will quickly get your heart beating double time. The acoustic bass and Violoncello are both melodic and percussive, with the piano bass providing gentle arpeggios of the simple chord progressions. The lyrics include a syncopated vocal echo of the phrase “I know” that is set up first by the pizzicato violoncello.

Masquerade

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.

Handmaiden

Handmaiden by Doxter S is a fanciful tale of a young romantic renaissance teenager. The melody is in the Key of A with Mixolydian scale. The intro and bridges are simple arpeggios of this scale. The instruments include strings, harp, hand percussion, tambourine, and triangle. The setting is in a Tudor Garden in Renaissance England.

Details

Details by Doxter S is a Jazz-Blues song in Em that tells an ages-old story about the morning after – with a hangover of epic proportion. The instrumental phrasing alternates between keyboard and guitar. The rhythm is syncopated with the bass and piano echoing each other. The outro repeats the final statement of the chorus.

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.

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. 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.
