Dancers by Doxter S on Apple Music

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.

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 
 
Outro

Amazing by Doxter S on Apple Music

Amazing by Doxter S on Apple Music

Amazing by Doxter S 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 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.

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

Masquerade by Doxter S on Apple Music

Masquerade by Doxter S on Apple Music

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

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

Details

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.

Butterfly

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. The Butterfly in this song continues her transformation into a human social butterfly. The melody also changes abruptly to reflect the new and exciting life she is seeking. The backing of the violoncello transforms into an overdrive electric guitar with percussion from a full drum set.
