New Release | Dorian by Doxter S

New Release | Dorian by Doxter S

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.

Crimson Studios proudly announces its latest release – Dorian by Doxter S.

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

Baby, Baby, OoohBaby, Baby, OoohBaby, Baby

  • One day you will be famous
  • They’ll roll out the red carpet
  • And everyone will see your name in lights
  • Will that satisfy you?
  • Replace what love denied you
  • And make up for those cold December nights
  • It’s a long hard road we travel, you and me
  • And it’s easy to forget our history
  • There was once a time we made some harmony
  • And we ended every night I ecstasy
  • There were Honky-Tonks and nightclubs on the way
  • From Atlanta to Chicago and L.A.
  • Our duet was for the night, but then one day
  • I was on my knees just begging you to stay
  • You wanted to be famous
  • You had to make some changes
  • But was it your career you’re speaking of
  • There is no denying
  • I failed at satisfying
  • And somewhere on the road I lost your love
  • You made it, now you’re famous
  • They rolled out the red carpet
  • And everyone can see your name in lights
  • Does it satisfy you?
  • Replace the love denied you
  • And make up for those cold December nights
  • Now you’re famous
  • You’re so famous
  • So damn famous

Crimson Studios is proud to announce the new release of Nice by Doxter S. This delicate ballad with solo female vocalist (Sara) and classical guitar accompaniment will decompress and fulfill your soul. Listen to Nice by Doxter S on Spotify.

Doxter S spent some time in September 2018 in Nice (pronounced like Niece in English) on the French Riviera. This large metropolitan city is the summer playground for the French. It’s more upscale neighbors Monte Carlo to the east and Cannes to the west are for aristocrats and sheikhs. 

Not that the Porte de Nice doesn’t have it’s share of luxury yachts and millionaires. Bill Gates and Tina Turner live nearby. What Nice does have is a rich history and a charming old town (Vieux Nice) and lots of British and American expats. 

Wandering down the narrow, cobblestone walkways one passes by shops and restaurants with outdoor seating. The open market area constantly transforms; farmers market, craft vendors, exotic spices, and multicolored sea salts (the fish market was recently moved to the port area for health reasons). Everything gets hosed down before lunchtime. The restaurants lining both sides of the wide pedestrian area take over competing sections for outdoor dining. 

Without noting the time, the many church steeple bells start counting out the noon hour. High on the castle hill (now a park) a cannon is fired at exactly 12:00 sharp. Everyone is getting seated for déjeuner, the most important meal of the day. The banks have closed. Time to dine on food and wine. 

Nice was home to some very famous French painters, including Renoir and Matisse. There is a Chagall museum in the northern part of Nice. They all came to enjoy the sea air, the clear Mediterranean waters, and most of all the light and color of this place. The sky and the sea were so blue they gave it the name Côte d’Azur.

Lyrics

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 You

Music and Medicine: Doctor of Romance

Doxter S has been creating original lyrical songs for over 7-years. Doxter S occasionally makes connections between music and art with medicine and health care.  Doctor of Romance by Doxter S is a love song that illuminates the benefits of the artistic side of the brain. Art and music have, throughout the centuries, often included references to doctors and medicine. One famous artist often sought out medical help.

Music and Medicine

There are many places to find the connection between music and medicine. At Georgetown University School of Medicine there is a Medical Student Arts Collective promoting this idea.

Georgetown has always promoted the mixing of science with humanities in training new physicians. At leas it has has been that way since I started there, and it continues that tradition today. 

There are other organizations in the area promoting the sharing of music to aid in the healing process. Musicians on Call organizes performers to go directly to the bedside of patients who need spiritual up-lifting.

Doctor of Romance by Doxter S is about poetry and lyrics. The attraction of the artist remains very strong in our society, and the point of this love song is to express that fact in the context of a romance.
