Nice by Doxter S on Apple Music

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 Apple Music.

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.​

Mountain by Doxter S on Apple Music

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

Amazing by Doxter S on Apple Music

Amazing by Doxter S 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.

Everyone is familiar with the original Christian Hymn “Amazing Grace” written in the 18th century by Anglican clergyman John Newton. The inspiration for the lyrics was a near death experience sailing on a slave trade ship during a violent storm in 1748. He prayed to God for salvation and redemption and experienced an awakening of his religious convictions.

The melody, composed by American composer William Walker, sung in the Major Pentatonic Scale, later became a popular song used by the Baptist and Methodist evangelical preachers in the Southern United States. The tune is often played with Bagpipes at solemn occasions, such as funerals.

Vocal recordings of “Amazing Grace” became common, with Aretha Franklin becoming one of the more famous performers of this song.

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.

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!

LYRICS

Lost but now I'm found  
Oh how sweet the sound  
 
I once was lost but I turned myself around  
I was blind but all at once I can see  
Amazing Grace you have given me a place  
The entire human race destiny  
 
Alleluia 
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound  
That saved a wretch like me 
Alleluia  
I once was lost but now I'm found  
I was blind but now I see  
 
Saved a wretch like me  
Blind but now I see  
 
There is a spark that illuminates the dark  
It lies deep within your heart set it free  
A brilliant light so magnificent and bright  
Like a beacon in the night all can see  
 
Revelation 
Jubilation 
 
Lost but now I'm found  
Oh how sweet the sound  
 
Touched by the love of the presence from above 
Gentle hand that reaches in to my soul 
Amazing Grace I accept your warm embrace  
Let my being become part of the whole 
 
Saved a wretch like me  
Blind but now I see   
 
We're not alone You can feel it in the bone 
Our salvation at this moment sublime 
Raise you hands high praise the spirit in the sky 
Seek redemption from the pure and divine 
 
Revelation 
Jubilation 
 
Lost but now I'm found  
Oh how sweet the sound  
Saved a wretch like me  
Blind but now I see 
 
Alleluia 
Ahh Ahh Ahh Amen
