Bargain by Doxter S is a soulful and lamenting song about a love that is well beyond it’s Sell-By Date. The theme is reflective of the happier early years of romance that give way with time to eventual resentment and the ultimate demise of the relationship.
Bargain by Doxter S refers to a Lover’s Bargain that exists in many idealized love affairs that seems to ignore the true risks and realities of life and love.
This lover’s lament is in the style of a ballad in 6/8 rhythm accompanied by piano, pedal steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, and violoncello.
Bargain by Doxter S sounds like: Willie Nelson, Dan Tyminski, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash.
Butterfly by Doxter S started out sounding like a nursery rhyme song. The opening melody is very fanciful and sweet. The quintessential nature of the butterfly is her transformation from caterpillar during metamorphosis. This transformation needed expression in music.
Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box.
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.
This upbeat song has more energy and less sweetness (than my last wedding song) and will get everyone crowding the dance floor dancing vigorously singing and shouting along with the band.
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.
This is an upbeat revival style song that echoes the traditional song Amazing Grace in one refrain, but has it’s own upbeat character that will bring the entire congregation to its feet.
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!
We were seated at a local Family Restaurant in McLean, Virginia and noticed the middle of the benches were higher. We laughed because we have a similar hump in the middle of our well used bed at home. I described it as a Mountain between us and we both laughed.
I decided that was enough to write a song describing the way couples can become separated even when they are together. This is a very soulful, melancholy love song that I sing with acoustic guitar.
Everywhere by Doxter S is an upbeat, latin rhythm, inspirational song dedicated to a very happy new couple starting out their new life together with a dance and a promise to keep traveling and dancing together, leaving behind all the worries and complications of daily life.
Dorian by Doxter S is a musical interpretation of the Gothic novel by Oscar Wilde – “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. 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.
