Doxter S says: We Love Summer. Let’s Find Somewhere to Go.

The song Summer is about going somewhere with someone you love. Falling in love. Staying in love. Going to the mountains, the islands, the Grand Canyon, Galapagos, Côte d’Azur.

Summer is when you stop working and start relaxing. It’s is about bright blue skies, puffy white clouds, blue oceans, and green trees.

Summer means vacation. Shops are closed in Paris. Kids don’t want to think about school. Parents don’t want to think about work. Lovers only think about each other.

Summer is hot, breezy, bright, and hopeful. Smell the suntan lotion, the boardwalk, the kettle corn, the cotton candy. Wear light and skimpy clothing. Sandals. Bare feet. Swimming, sailing, golfing, water skiing. Scuba diving. Concerts out under the stars.

The idea is to put your feet up and gaze out at the ocean. This can only mean Summer is here at last.

Lyrics

We first met on the very first of May. She smiled at me in a casual way.
Tried to impress her as cultured and cool. She humored me taking me for a fool.
I called her up, asked her out for a date.She said sorry I was calling too late.
She had no time for a summer romance. I changed her mind. Said she'd give me a chance.

We couldn't wait for the summer. We needed fun in the mountain air.
We fell in love with each other. We Love Summer. Let's Find Somewhere to Go!

We took a long drive to the countryside. Fresh mountain air. Not a creature in sight.
Spooning in the bedroom, swimming in the lake. She gave to me 'bout as much as I'd take.
When we got thirsty we'd go to the town. Singing my songs as a crows gathered 'round.
She kept the beat on the tambourine. We were both pursuing our summer dream.

We couldn't wait for the summer. We needed sun and the ocean air.
We took a flight to Jamaica. We Love Summer. Let's Find Somewhere to Go!

We spent the week on a hedonistic beach. All that nice candy was just out of reach.
I started diving, it gave her s thrill. the men at the bar, they admired my skill.
We danced all night 'till we say the sunrise. Slept all day long with the sun in our eyes.
Smoking a drinking goes right to your head. Partied all night like the Grateful Dead.

We had a great time that summer. We made a plan to go everywhere.
We fell in love with each other. We Love Summer. Let's Find Somewhere to Go!

We fell in love in the summer. We stayed together through all the years.
We're still in love with each other. We Love Summer. Let's Find Somewhere to Go!

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

Dancers by Doxter S on Apple Music

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. Dancers is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple music.

Traveling through the mountains in western Virginia we were listening to local college radio from UVA. As we crossed to the western slope the station changed to a latin program from West Virginia entirely in Spanish. That was the inspiration for this song. Initially I wrote something more humorous with a Mariachi style. I placed that aside and reconfigured the melody into a Tango style instead. The lyrics and title are changed as well.

The singer recalls her experience as a tourist and the lasting impression that stays with her. She carries in her memory the dancers that so impressed on her the beauty and grace of the Tango. She dreams of herself becoming a tango dancer in Buenos Aires.

Dancers by Doxter S includes the traditional instruments used for the tango. The familiar Bandoneon is an essential component, along with latin percussion using conga, wood blocks, and tambourine. A cello and acoustic bass complete the instrumental support for this tango dance.

Lyrics

Instrumental Intro 
 
It was not many years ago  
I flew away to Argentina  
In Buenos Aires for the Summer  
I found an open air Cantina  
I tasted wine and sampled Tapas  
The cobbled streets were filled with couples  
 
I watched the young tango dancers perform in the square  
They moved with beauty and grace they seemed lighter than air  
 
Instrumental Break 
 
One special dancer caught my fancy  
She was a raven haired romantic  
Her flashing eyes and pouting boca  
Made every movement look dramatic  
Her partner held her in possession  
They danced together with expression  
 
I felt the music they danced to was played just for me  
Their every movement was perfectly timed to the beat  
 
Long Instrumental Break 
 
I see that dancer when I'm dreaming 
And how I wish that I could be her  
When I was younger I was wiser  
I saw that beauty was inside her  
The music carries like a whisper  
I dream that I am dancing with her  
 
Next to a garden with flowers that glow in the light  
I would be dancing for hours the moon shining bright  
 
Instrumental Break 
 
Play the music that they dance to just for me 
 
Instrumental Break 
 
It seems so many years ago  
I flew away to Argentina  
In Buenos Aires for the Summer  
I found a open air Cantina  
I tasted wine and sampled Tapas  
The cobbled streets were filled with couples  
 
I was a young tango dancer alone in the square  
I moved with beauty and grace I was lighter than air 
 
Instrumental  
 
Buenos Aires Argentina in my dreams 
I still dream I’m dancing tango in the night

The melody is in a minor key that adds pathos to the relevant lyrics. Despite the melancholy there is also great hope. The song begins and ends with the word “Pray”. There is hope fore redemption in this prayer. There is optimism for humanity.

Pray
At night I pray for better days
We turned around and lost our way
It's getting darker every day

The world is colder
There is no room for compromise
If we could open up our eyes
We'd see the sun about to rise

Through stormy weather
New days are dawning
We stand together
A new belonging

It won't take long
To make things right for every wrong
We must remain steadfast and strong
Before a storm there is a calm

Let's come together
We still have choices
If we sing proudly
They'll hear or voices

So let us pray
Pray for a life of better days
Days filled with love
Love and respect in every way

We must stay strong
And everything will be Okay
It won't be long
Before we see some better days

[Bridge]

When we were younger
We were much stronger
We had no hunger
Not any longer

Stand side by side
Without the prejudice and pride
We need our goals to be allied
Let's put our politics aside

We stand together
We are united
Out human spirit
Is reignited

So let us pray
Pray for a life of better days
Days filled with love
Love and respect in every way

We must stay strong
And everything will be Okay
It won't be long
Before we see some better days

So let us pray
