Canyons by Doxter S on Spotify

Canyons by Doxter S on Spotify

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.

These love songs may not be appropriate for children. I don’t use explicit lyrics. Listen to “Squeeze” all the way through and you will get the idea. The hook (also the punch-line) is in the third verse. I find when I perform “Squeeze” the women in the audience get it during the second verse. The men don’t get it until the third verse. Squeeze by Doxter S is on Apple Music.

I got my inspiration for “Squeeze” from my wife. You men reading this won’t get my point until the third sentence. She and I practice oral hygiene differently. I follow the directions, so I’m always good to the very last drop. We share a lot of things but toothpaste isn’t one of them. I wrote “Squeeze” thinking  that a casual (or drunk) listener might just get the wrong idea what the song was about.

The cover art for “Squeeze” is inoffensive. “Ribeye“, on the other hand, is more risqué. This country-bluegrass love song was inspired by a full-figured woman at the dog park. She was speaking to her husband on her mobile phone. Her face lit up with a big smile when she proposed “Let’s Have Ribeye Tonight”. I couldn’t help thinking she was planning a romantic evening with him. My inspiration for the song was implanted and I went home to start composing music and writing lyrics. “Ribeye”  makes the point without explicit lyrics.

I needed an idea for a album including all my songs with these more adult themes (this album includes “Hair of the Dog” and “Mister ED”):  “Songs You Can(‘)t Sing to Your Children” (A compilation of Love Songs by Doxter S that are more appropriate for Clyde’s than Gymboree).

 Soft and sweet she walkin' up that street 
 My baby like to meet then we go out to eat 
 Then we just take it slow she show me how to go 
 My baby tell me so and ya just gotta know 
 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!

 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

Backdoor by Doxter S on Apple Music

Backdoor by Doxter S on Apple Music

Crimson Studios is proud to announce a new release – Backdoor by Doxter S.  This song was inspired by an idea given to me by my friend Bobby McDavid who’s late father was a self-taught mandolin, guitar, and harmonica player from Gate City, Virginia, and was the founder of the Munsey Bob McDavid Bluegrass Band. He was invited  at the age of 6-years old to perform on stage at Carter’s Fold with the great Bill Monroe. The lyrics I created are loosely based on notes for a song that never had a melody. I think Bob McDavid the elder would have liked how this turned out.

Backdoor (of my Heart) by Doxter S

(Refrain 1)
You Sneaked in through the backdoor of my lost and lonely heart
And you Tried to make a big fool out of me
Broke my Family and my home, left me poor and all alone
You Left my heart in pain and misery
(Verse 1)
You took Everything I had, but that’s Not what gets me mad
First you Robbed me then you tried to ruin my name
Now I Stay here in this place, I’m ashamed to show my face
I’m a Broken man, and I have you to blame
(Refrain 1)
(Verse 2)
You broke Every vow you made, girl I Know when I’ve been played
First You Promised then you cheated and you lied
But if You try something slicker on the backdoor of my ticker
You will Find that sucker’s locked from the inside
(Refrain 2)
You Sneaked in once before using the Backdoor of my heart
But you Won’t sneak in again so easily
It’s not Like it was before ’cause it ain’t open anymore
That Backdoor’s locked and you don’t have the key
The Backdoor of My Heart Won’t Open Anymore
(Attributed to Bob McDavid)
You sneaked in the backdoor of my heart,
And made a fool of me,
You broke up my home,
And my family.
You broke every vow you made,
You cheated and you lied,
You’ll not get through that door again,
It’s locked from inside.
You took everything I had,
And tried to ruin my name,
That’s why I sit here all alone,
My head bowed down in shame.
You think you can walk right in again,
Just like you did before,
But the backdoor of my heart,
Won’t open anymore.

Lyrics
Waking at dawn I put a shirt on and start the day
Holding my coffee cup I try to stay awake
Five or six takes without any breaks it’s afternoon
Now the day’s work is done I’ll be home soon
Taking the train it’s starting to rain it’s getting late
Hopping into a cab I try to contemplate
How did I ever come to find love this time around
Now the day’s work is done I’m homeward bound
Darling I need you I need to to see you stay right where you are
Holding you close will wash away the scars
Starting to feel like this could be heaven right here in your arms
Feeling like I belong it feels so right here in your arms
Here in your arms
Laying in bed you cradle my head and stroke my hair
Humming a happy tune you must have heard somewhere
Late in the evening everything’s easy feeling free
Now there is only you and only me
Darling I think that you and I need to stay right where we are
Maybe our love was destined in the stars
Starting to feel like this could be heaven right here in your arms
Feeling like I belong it feels so right here in your arms
Here in your arms
