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

Lyrics

You wake up from another party smoked and drank all night 
Your head is spinning, ears are ringing, eyes can't stand the light 
Remember music getting louder, dancing, doing lines of powder 
Met a woman with her date. You got into a fight. 
 
You had too many cocktails. You went too far. It's time for you to go. 
The Devil's in the Details. She's pulling all the strings now. Don't You Know? 
 
She may have been your soulmate, or your fantasy I guess 
A curvy shape with lengthy legs wrapped in a satin dress 
A pretty face with hair like flame, but you just can't recall her name 
A sexy voice and flirting eyes, she made your mind a mess 
 
You've fallen off of the rails. You won't get far. You don't know where to go. 
The Devil's in the Details. She's pulling all the strings now. Don't You Know? 
 
Instrumental 
 
She's just another female. You've come this far. You don't have far to go. 
The Devil's in the Details. She's pulling all the strings now. Don't You Know? 
 
You try to find your pants and shoes you're in a strange hotel 
Misplaced your keys and wallet and you start to feel unwell 
There's water's running in the shower, shampoo scent of spice and flower 
Just a silhouette of her you've fallen in her spell 
 
Attempting to escape fails. But you're not trapped. You got nowhere to go. 
The Devil's in the Details. She's pulling all the strings now. Don't You Know?

Masquerade by Doxter S on Spotify

Masquerade by Doxter S on Spotify

Masquerade by Doxter S is now available for streaming on Spotify.

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.

Lyrics

When the music stops
Everybody dancing please just keep your mask on
Keep your gloves on
And just walk away

I don't want to talk
Really feeling distant from the life that I knew
Feeling so blue
Like to fade away

And every time I try to remember why I just can't hold back the tears
I think about the ways in the good old days when we never had such fears

Want to go back in time, we were doing fine, want to stay outside, let me feel the sunshine

We're Masquerading We're Isolating This social distance Is so frustrating
This is Degrading Not Liberating We're imitating We're Masquerading

Going for a walk
I am feeling social and I just want to talk
Take the mask off
Leave my hideaway

When the madness stops
Everybody living please just keep your head on
Make yourself strong
Everything's Okay

Recall the good old days With our social ways When we never had these fears
Let's all go back in time We were doing fine For so many, many years

We all can stay outside In the bright sunshine We'll be feeling fine We can write the headline

Stop masquerading It was stagnating The social distance Needs some updating
It was degrading Not liberating Let's put a stop to The masquerading

I want to stay outside don't want to hide I've got my life to live
With all the people I've been missing they have so much love to give

Anticipating our liberating the social distance is quickly fading
We are parading and serenading for human comfort that we are craving

We are not waiting we are creating the social fabric of our own making
Let's stop debating procrastinating let's put a stop to the masquerading

When the music stops
Everybody dancing please just take your mask off
Take your gloves off
Live your life your way

Art and music have, throughout the centuries, often included references to doctors and medicine. One famous artist often sought out medical help.

Music and Medicine

There are many places to find the connection between music and medicine. At Georgetown University School of Medicine there is a Medical Student Arts Collective promoting this idea.

Georgetown has always promoted the mixing of science with humanities in training new physicians. At leas it has has been that way since I started there, and it continues that tradition today. 

There are other organizations in the area promoting the sharing of music to aid in the healing process. Musicians on Call organizes performers to go directly to the bedside of patients who need spiritual up-lifting.

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 
 In a Million Years In a Million Years 
 In a Million Years In a Million Years 
 In a Million Years In a Million Years

Lyrics

 Every time I turn around
 Everything’s turning upside down
 Toys are flying in the air
 Jackson the Dancing Bear
 

 Jackson is a black Labrador
 But he is so much more
 Jackson’s a handful and a half
 And he can make me laugh
 

 Chase the Frisbee, catch the ball
 Dragging his mattress down the hall
 Rub my belly, scratch my ear
 What an exhausting year
 

 Jackson is such a funny pup 
 When is he growing up?
 Tossing his toys into the air
 Then there is Jackson’s hair
 

 There’s a saying we all know
 When we’ve drunk all night
 Just drink the Hair of the Dog
 Then you’ll feel alright
 

 Eating breakfast all alone
 I see a dog hair on my scone
 In the kitchen on the stair
 Everywhere there’s dog hair
 

 We sweep the floors and vacuum too
 But nothing seems to work
 We give him baths and brush hit coat
 Now one’s stuck in my throat
 

 Jackson is a fur machine
 Nothing ever seems to stay clean
 Cleaning hair while Jackson plays
 Now the maids want a raise
 

 Just when I think the place is clean
 He throws me for a loop
 Ready to dine and then I find
 Three dog hairs in my soup
 

 There’s a saying we all know
 When we’ve drunk all night
 Just drink the Hair of the Dog
 Then you’ll feel alright
 

 Just drink the Hair of the Dog
 My old friends would say
 I’ve become a Dog Hair Fan
 Drink them every day
