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.

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

Music and Medicine: Doctor of Romance by Doxter S

Doxter S has been creating original lyrical songs for over 6-years. Doxter S occasionally makes connections between music and art with medicine and health care. Doctor of Romance by Doxter S is a love song that illuminates the benefits of the artistic side of the brain. Art and music have, throughout the centuries, often included references to doctors and medicine. One famous artist often sought out medical help.

Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh was famous for cutting off an ear and eventual suicide. During his life he sought out many doctors to relieve his suffering. Among the many remedies prescribed was FoxGlove, a plant that naturally contains Digitalis. Doctors used Digitalis for centuries to treat heart failure. We don’t know exactly why Van Gogh was prescribed this potentially toxic substance. However, there is evidence of its toxicity in his most famous painting: Starry Night (depicted on this page).

Scholars of science and art now believed the yellow used for this painting was a side effect of digitalis. Digitalis changes the artist’s color perception to see more yellow in everything. The brilliant yellows the artist used in his later paintings have been similarly attributed to this drug. No one knows for sure if these theories are correct. Among the artistically inclined in the health care fields this is a widely held belief. For a musical explanation of Vincent Van Gogh’s life, I refer you to Vincent by Don McLean, a very lovely ballad describing the emotional life of this famous artist. This was a favorite song for me.

Doctor of Romance by Doxter S is not about painting, but is about poetry and lyrics. The attraction of the artist remains very strong in our society, and point of this love song is to express that fact in the context of a romance.
