Amazing by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

Everyone is familiar with the original Christian Hymn “Amazing Grace” written in the 18th century by Anglican clergyman John Newton. The inspiration for the lyrics was a near death experience sailing on a slave trade ship during a violent storm in 1748. He prayed to God for salvation and redemption and experienced an awakening of his religious convictions.

The melody, composed by American composer William Walker, sung in the Major Pentatonic Scale, later became a popular song used by the Baptist and Methodist evangelical preachers in the Southern United States. The tune is often played with Bagpipes at solemn occasions, such as funerals.

Vocal recordings of “Amazing Grace” became common, with Aretha Franklin becoming one of the more famous performers of this song.

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.

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!

LYRICS

Lost but now I'm found  
Oh how sweet the sound

I once was lost but I turned myself around
I was blind but all at once I can see
Amazing Grace you have given me a place
The entire human race destiny

Alleluia
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Alleluia
I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind but now I see

Saved a wretch like me
Blind but now I see

There is a spark that illuminates the dark
It lies deep within your heart set it free
A brilliant light so magnificent and bright
Like a beacon in the night all can see

Revelation
Jubilation

Lost but now I'm found
Oh how sweet the sound

Touched by the love of the presence from above
Gentle hand that reaches in to my soul
Amazing Grace I accept your warm embrace
Let my being become part of the whole

Saved a wretch like me
Blind but now I see

We're not alone You can feel it in the bone
Our salvation at this moment sublime
Raise you hands high praise the spirit in the sky
Seek redemption from the pure and divine

Revelation
Jubilation

Lost but now I'm found
Oh how sweet the sound
Saved a wretch like me
Blind but now I see

Alleluia
Ahh Ahh Ahh Amen

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

Sounds like Enya, Secret Garden, Sinead O’Connor

An animated music video is currently in the works at Crimson Studios in McLean, Virginia.

Addicted by Doxter S has an Official Video. This uptempo song has an electro-island beat and the new video captures the romantic mood:

Tell me why, tell me why I can’t ignore you, be alone at night, be without you
Now I find, I must try to steal away time, always on my mind, you have made me blind
 Your laugh your smile I linger a while, your lips and your voice they leave me no choice
I’m trapped by you, can’t you see … That’s what you did to me I’m addicted to
your hands your touch I need them so much I feel I can’t breathe the moment you leave I can’t wean myself from you … there’s nothing I can do
I’m addicted to you
You are like, you are like that magic potion, Number Nine of Love, and emotion
Even now, I know better than to follow, I have lost my will, I must have my fill
Your clothes your smell I’m under your spell your neck and your arm I’m trapped by your charm a thigh you brush up to mine … tingles run up my spine I’m addicted to your hands your touch I need them so much I feel I can’t breathe the moment you leave I can’t wean myself from you there’s nothing I can do I’m addicted to you
Your head your face your warming embrace your hair and your eyes so bright and so wise I feel it down to the bone … I can’t leave you alone I’m addicted to your hands your touch I need them so much I feel I can’t breathe the moment you leave I can’t wean myself from you … there’s nothing I can do I’m addicted to you

Diva Aria Mine by Doxter S Music Video

Diva Aria Mine by Doxter S Music Video

Doxter S has just released the official video for this song, entitled Diva Aria Mine, available on You Tube. Diva by Doxter S, an upbeat Hip Hop song, is entering new music territory. Doxter S created this original Hip Hop song, inspired by Piccolo Walzer, after making the following statement to a fellow musician: “Never argue with a Soprano”. So what is the connection with Diva by Doxter S? It turns out the word Soprano isn’t easy to use in the lyrics. So the original inspiration was transformed into  “Never argue with a Diva”, and the theme from the operatic song is carried into the story line. The style transformed to Hip Hop. Diva is already getting airplay on The Real92HipHop. The official video is engaging and entertaining.

Starting with a simple piano rendition of Piccolo Valzer, the piano is next backed by a synthesizer and the all male chorus sings Diva Aria Mine”. The verse, spoken by Doxter S, is backed by the Soprano voice haunting off stage:

Anything can happen when you’re walking with a Diva
Everybody gawking at her like the Queen of Sheba
Listen to these words of mine, I said from the beginning
Never argue with a Diva, ain’t no way of winning
Diva has a lovely voice, You think it comes from Heaven
Diva’s had a vocal coach since she was six or seven
When she sings she smiles and makes you feel you’re not a stranger
Listen to these words of mine, this Diva is no Angel

Then Diva sings her first solo:

When I’m walking alone
When everybody looks at me
They smile at me adoringly
Men are mine to command
And I have them all eating,
yes they are all eating out of my hand

Better Days by Doxter S

Better Days by Doxter S

There has been a lot going on in the last 6-months. What seems to be an upheaval in societal relations may be part of a natural evolution of human thought. Better Days by Doxter S provides a musical representation of these troubled times. 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.

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.
