Doxter S has 67 original songs on ReverbNation, also available on Spotify, CD Baby, iTunes, and Amazon. The most recent include Butterfly, Dancers, Form A Line, Amazing, Mountain, Everywhere, and Dorian.

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.

Daybreak

Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box.

Dancers

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.

Form a Line

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.

Amazing by Doxter S

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.

This 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.

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!

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.

Everywhere by Doxter S is an upbeat, latin rhythm, inspirational song dedicated to a very happy new couple starting out their new life together with a dance and a promise to keep traveling and dancing together, leaving behind all the worries and complications of daily life.

Dorian by Doxter S is a musical interpretation of the Gothic novel by Oscar Wilde – “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. 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.

New Release | Butterfly by Doxter S

Crimson Studios proudly announces a New Release | Butterfly by Doxter S

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.

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

Fa La La by Doxter S is Naughty

Christmas time fills the airwaves with familiar tunes that many of us can sing along with. Doxter S published a very family friendly original Christmas song in 2017 entitled Merry Christmas All Around the World. It is a Nice Christmas song. 

Crimson Studios has now published a Naughty Christmas song, Fa La La by Doxter S, created in the (Christmas) spirit of Ribeye and Squeeze. Fa La La by Doxter S has an original melody, snappy rhythm, and fun (naughty) lyrics. This production features a new male lead vocalist reminiscent of Bob Seger, John Fogerty, and Bruce Springsteen (the lyrics are more like Lenny Bruce). You can and should sing along with Fa La La by Doxter S.


CAUTION: Fa La La by Doxter S is Naughty! ​

New Release | Daybreak by Doxter S

Crimson Studios announces the new release of Daybreak by Doxter S.

Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box.

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.
