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.

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

Nervous by Doxter S on Spotify

Nervous by Doxter S on Spotify

Nervous by Doxter S is one of 72 original songs produced at Crimson Studios. This pop style song could be sung acapella, however this production includes percussion, strings, and piano. There is asymmetry between the sequential verses and there is a substantial pre chorus. The instrumental backing for the chorus is minimal, as the lead and harmony together provide an orchestral presence. The chorus has a lively percussion accompaniment.
The story line of Nervous by Doxter S portrays a woman uncertain about her lover and their future together. She makes a reference that they are acting like spies. As is true for many other songs from Doxter S there is some gender ambiguity as we don’t really know who this song is for. For that matter, this song started out intended for a male lead, however it transformed into the female lead version presented here.

​

You make me nervous
You make me nervous
Keep your emotions hidden well
Under the surface
You get me rattled
Tongue tied and tattered
Then you just walk away like
None of it mattered
I feel like I’ve lost control
I’m stuck at the starting gate
Asking for help I say to myself
“Don’t hesitate, it’s getting late”
I’m running on your command
In search of some happiness
Wasting away, I spend every day
You know just which buttons to press
Life keeps on changing
My thoughts rearranging
I need some restraining
My feet on the ground
Nothing is certain
I draw back the curtain
Revealing the hurt and
The peace I have found
You keep on trying
To get me smiling
I haven’t smiled in many years
There’s no denying
You makes me crazy
Everything’s hazy
I should have left by now but
I’ve gotten lazy
I’ve lost my identity
I have nothing left to steal
Acting like spies I look in your eyes
Trying to feel anything real
I’m now starting to believe
My life is about to change
What should I do, I’m thinking it through
Things to arrange, Feeling so strange

Daybreak by Doxter S | Official Video Release

Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box. This video captures a winter theme following the lyrics with the use of an animated keyboard, birds and notes on musical power lines, an iceskating scene, and a magical snow man. This song started out as an instrumental Rondo of 8-bars. The complex melodies seemed to lend themselves as the basis for a holiday song. I started with lyrics simply describing the familiar auditory sensation of an Ear Worm. Perhaps it’s just music playing in your head that you heard at the shopping mall. In my case the music was new and original, with yet to be defined lyrics. As I developed this theme I focused on Christmas time and holiday music. The reference to the season being winter and the presence of music playing everywhere are subtle links to Christmas time. The lyrics “Bright music Good tidings come with the Sun rising” and “Sweet voices are singing angelic with feeling” are additional ties to the traditional holiday music. Otherwise this song is without any anchors to limit it to one genre. The entire song is constructed with the familiar rondo build up of layers incorporating the instrumentals and vocals to reach a crescendo just before the outro.

Mountain by Doxter S on Spotify

Mountain by Doxter S on Spotify

Crimson Studios proudly announces a New Release – Mountain by Doxter S. This is the 62nd original song by Doxter S.

Listen to 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.”

Lyrics

There's a mountain, it's been growing in between for many years 
Rising up with our emotions, made of sorrow, threats, and tears 
I have tried to climb it many times to reach the other side 
Where you lay in waiting silently inside a shell of pride 
 
Well I know that mountain rises up because we stay apart 
It's because I don't express myself, don't show what's in my heart 
Had we spent more time together, in a lover's warm embrace 
We'd be laying in the valley of a very fertile place 
 
Our love can't redeem us. It's like  
Mars approaching Venus 
Like a spiral that keeps spinning in my head 
Baby we got, maybe, we got time 
 
I had not foreseen this, there's a  
Mountain in between us 
Like that hump that's in the middle of our bed 
Babe we got a long long way to climb 
 
Well I should have told you long ago, I should have found a way 
I drew strength from you, the things you do, the gentle words you say 
I was frightened by your honesty, your passion and your drive 
I'm embarrassed by my cowardice with no will to survive 
 
Even when I cannot speak, it's  
when my spirit's feeling weak,  
I bow my head and I begin to pray 
Praying like a pilgrim at the wall 
 
So we lay in silence, hoping  
there's no pain or violence, I just  
can't reach out to you in any way 
Babe that mountain's grown to be so tall
