Nervous by Doxter S on Apple Music

Nervous by Doxter S is one of 73 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

Lyrics

 You say you can't live your life without me 
 You think that love will bring you ecstasy 
 You tell me you will be faithful to me 
 For a Million Years 
 For a Million Years 
 

 I see your eyes always gazing around 
 for some new sweet thing that you think you've found 
 But your selection by nature was bound 
 By a Million Years 
 By a Million Years 
 

 For a Million Years For a Million Years 
 For a Million Years For a Million Years 
 For a Million Years For a Million Years 
 

 I don't believe I can hold you above 
 I’m not that person that you're speaking of 
 But if you wait for me I'll be your love 
 In a Million Years 
 In a Million Years 
 In a Million Years 
 

 In a Million Years In a Million Years

Stay by Doxter S on Apple Music

Stay by Doxter S on Apple Music

Stay by Doxter S is one of 73 original song written by Doxter S and produced at Crimson Studios in McLean, Virginia. Now available for streaming on Apple Music.

This beautiful love song in G-Major can be performed by either female or male lead. A piano provides the foundation. The cello and contrabass alternate legato and pizzicato. There is syncopation between the instrument voices.​

The instrumental intro, with piano, cello, and contrabass, is happy. The melody for the first and second verse, sung by Sara, is plaintive. Each verse has a tension building bridge. The second verse follows the first bridge immediately. (The original score separated them with a repeat of the intro).​

The chorus is commanding, strong, with a positive vibe. The use of the B-Major in a single phrase of the chorus adds unexpected urgency to the lyrics. (This production was transposed to D-Major, so F-Major provides the tension). ​

The first and second chorus are separated by a vocalized version of the intro melody. This is again upbeat, happy. The second chorus has different lyrics. Following the second chorus is a repeat of the instrumental intro. The song ends with a repeat of the first chorus on a happy note. ​

Lyrics

You meet me at my garden gate Wonder why I was so late
Had to dry my tears Don't think that I was crying

I know some women can be strong Take whatever comes along
If I spoke like that You'd know that I was lying

We tried to talk about it Always seemed to end with shouting
We can't forgive ourselves for Indecision, always doubting

Your visit comes as no surprise I can see it in your eyes
That you just stopped by to Tell me you are leaving

I knew one day you'd want to go Knew how I would miss you so
I prepared myself but Seeing is believing

We had our share of sorrow Just like modern day romances
I see a new tomorrow I believe in second chances

Stay with me, don't leave please Stay with me 
What's in your Heart is all that matters, Baby Can't you see?

Stay with me and hold me Tenderly and 
I will smile and dry my tears If you just stay

I believe there are second chances You and me, Modern day romances
People can discover When they love each other

Stay with me, why don't you Stay with me 
What is it Out there that would take you far away from me?

Baby we were happy Can't you see, so drop that
Bag and close the door will you just stay

Stay with me, don't leave please Stay with me, what's in your
Heart is all that matters, Baby Can't you see?

Stay with me and hold me Tenderly and 
I will smile and dry my tears If you just stay

Doxter S has published 44 songs on CD Baby and iTunes over the last 5 years. Mirrors by Doxter S is is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

“When I look into a mirror, at the face I see, is that really me?” This opening verse is an existential question about our perceptions of our own lives and our place in the universe. “Mirrors” questions who we really are, how we look at ourselves in our past lives, and how we can see ourselves in the future. It was inspired by Einstein’s genius explaining the Space-Time as a single dimension. it happens that a beam of light passes through the mirror’s glass at precisely the angle required to reach the reflection point in the shortest possible time. That must mean that, when we look into a mirror, we only see what we are supposed to see.

You can find Mirrors on Doxter-S.com, on CD Baby, on iTunes and listen on Spotify.

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

 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 
 That what we like 
 

 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
 My baby say she like it 
 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
