Mele Kohola by Doxter S on Apple Music

Mele Kohola is Hawaian  for “Singing Whale”.

Each year approximately 4,500 Hawaiian Humpbacks migrate from Alaska to breed, give birth, and bask in the warmer waters of Hawaii.

Kohola begin arriving in Hawaii in November, with the peak of migration and activity occurring in February and March. Scientists speculate that the whales use ocean currents, temperature changes, acoustical cues, and the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way to Hawaii (the most remote island chain in the world).

Most whales remain in Hawaii for 6-8 weeks, with some extending their “vacation” to late May or early June. At the end of their time in Hawaii, the whales return to the food-rich waters of Alaska to feed and replenish their blubber in preparation for their next journey to Hawaii.

Mele Kohola by Doxter S has captured the spirit of freedom, adventure, and love in this singularly moving composition that brings together native rhythms, natural sounds, and the overwhelming compassion we have for our fellow inhabitants on the planet.

Doxter S continues to produce some of the most memorable and heartfelt music available, bringing together catchy melodies, pulsing rhythms, and clever yet meaningful lyrics for what is to date a collection of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

Squeeze by Doxter S on Apple Music

Squeeze by Doxter S on Apple Music

These love songs may not be appropriate for children. I don’t use explicit lyrics. Listen to “Squeeze” all the way through and you will get the idea. The hook (also the punch-line) is in the third verse. I find when I perform “Squeeze” the women in the audience get it during the second verse. The men don’t get it until the third verse. Squeeze by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs available fr streaming on Spotify and on Apple Music.

I got my inspiration for “Squeeze” from my wife. You men reading this won’t get my point until the third sentence. She and I practice oral hygiene differently. I follow the directions, so I’m always good to the very last drop. We share a lot of things but toothpaste isn’t one of them. I wrote “Squeeze” thinking  that a casual (or drunk) listener might just get the wrong idea what the song was about.

The cover art for “Squeeze” is inoffensive. “Ribeye“, on the other hand, is more risqué. This country-bluegrass love song was inspired by a full-figured woman at the dog park. She was speaking to her husband on her mobile phone. Her face lit up with a big smile when she proposed “Let’s Have Ribeye Tonight”. I couldn’t help thinking she was planning a romantic evening with him. My inspiration for the song was implanted and I went home to start composing music and writing lyrics. “Ribeye”  makes the point without explicit lyrics.

I needed an idea for a album including all my songs with these more adult themes (this album includes “Hair of the Dog” and “Mister ED”):  “Songs You Can(‘)t Sing to Your Children” (A compilation of Love Songs by Doxter S that are more appropriate for Clyde’s than Gymboree).

Song From The Heart Lyrics

  I’ve been lonely so long
 So I wrote down this song
 Only took me s while
 Hope you like my new style

 Just acoustic guitar
 Strumming in every bar 
 Know it sounds kind of strange
 Keeps the notes in my range 
 
 Hope you’re having fun in the Florida sun
 When I’m feeling so blue I’ll be thinking of you
 If I had the fare I’d be joining you there
 In the Florida sun, Hope you’re having some fun
 
 Wrote this song just for you
 But I haven’t a clue
 Why I got you so mad 
 And it’s got me so sad
 
 So I wrote you this song
 Wish you could sing along
 To the end from the start
 It’s a song from the heart
 
 Hope you’re having fun in the Florida sun
 When I’m feeling so blue I’ll be thinking of you
 If I had the fare I’d be joining you there
 In the Florida sun, Hope you’re having some fun
 
 Thought I’d drop you a line
 Tell you I was just fine
 Everything is the same
 I got no one to blame
 
 Trying to stay in touch
 ‘Cause I miss you so much
 You’ve been down there so long
 So I wrote you this song
 
 Hope you’re having fun in the Florida sun
 When I’m feeling so blue I’ll be thinking of you
 If I had the fare I’d be joining you there
 In the Florida sun, Hope you’re having some fun
 
 Got my song on the air
 They’re playing it everywhere
 Finally got my chance
 And I got an advance 
 
 So I booked me a flight
 It’s arriving tonight
 By the evening tide
 I’ll be there by your side 
 
 We’ll be having fun in the Florida sun
 I could never be blue long as I’m holding you
 For the love we share I would go anywhere
 In the Florida sun we’ll be having some fun
 
 Hope you’re having fun in the Florida sun
 When I’m feeling so blue I’ll be thinking of you
 If I had the fare I’d be joining you there
 In the Florida sun, Hope you’re having some fun

Lyrics

Do what you want to, you don’t need to know where to start
Don’t ask for directions, you just need to follow your heart
Forget what they told you, and don’t get confused by The Man
Just take my advice ’cause I know that you’re part of the plan
Everything’s easy when you get inspired, just follow your dreams no permission required
It’s your own Bizness, you just gotta do what you please
As God is my witness, your life’s gonna feel like a breeze
Just ask for forgiveness, whenever you think you might fall
Then do what you want to it’s nobody’s Bizness at all
Everyday people just trying to make their own way
Working three jobs they got too many bills left to pay
Late in the evening they gather around for a meal
Singing and dancing they’re trying to keep it all real
Everyone’s waiting for when the week ends
Working to live life with family and friends
(Chorus)
(Spoken)
The doctor, the Rabbi, the Priest and the lawyer
They give you advice but they tend to annoy you
The butcher, the baker, the lowly brick layer
We all become equal whether sooner or later
The government worker who’s taking the census
We must forgive those who may trespass against us
Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you
A Sunday School lesson I’ve found that it seems to be true
Just take it easy because at the end of the day
Your life will be judged by the things that you do and you say
Just live your life and treat others with care
Follow your heart you can live anywhere
It’s your own Bizness you just gotta do what you please
As God is my witness your life’s gonna feel like a breeze
Just ask for forgiveness whenever you stumble
Redemption is endless you must remain humble
Then do what you want to it’s nobody’s Bizness at all

Lyrics

Is it in your eyes ?
Is it in your smile?
In the way you kiss my lips
Lingering a while

Little things you do that connect to me
Like a little bridge no one else can see
Pulling me in close irresistibly
You are changing my sensibility

It's been going on
For a long, long time
I complete your sentences
Or do you start mine ?

We can feel our hearts beating double time
All my thoughts are yours All your thoughts are mine
We can take things fast We can take things slow
You know everything, everything I know
I know, I know, I know, I know I

I have waited a long, long time
I was searching to see a sign
To discover a soul like mine, like mine, like mine

There is chemistry between you and me
It's the way you hold me so tenderly
I can feel your calm and serenity
Fibers of emotion connect to me
Is it sensory Or telepathy
This connection must be our destiny

I can hear a song
Playing in my mind
Then you start to sing along
Happens all the time

Little things you do that connect to me
Like a little bridge no one else can see
You have always been everywhere I go
You know everything, everything I know
I know, I know, I know, I know I

I will always be by your side
And our conscience will be our guide
And we never will have to run, to run, to run an hide

There is chemistry between you and me
It's the way you hold me so tenderly
I can feel your calm and serenity
Fibers of emotion connect to me
Is it sensory ? Or telepathy ?
This connection must be our destiny
Must be our destiny

Lyrics

MET HER ON A SUMMER DAY
SHE SMILED AND ASKED IF I COULD STAY
HAD NOTHING PLANNED FOR ANYWAY
NOTHING AT ALL

SHE WAS A DANCER BALLET TRAINED
I WORE OLD DENIMS TORN AND STAINED
WITH NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL NOTHING AT ALL

FUNNY HOW THINGS START OUT FINE
BREAD AND CHEESE A GLASS OF WINE
BUT NOTHING STAYS FRESH OVER TIME
NOTHING AT ALL

LIFE DOESN'T GIVE A WARNING SIGN
POSSESSIONS START TO UNDERMINE
EVERYTHING HERS AND NOTHING MINE
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL NOTHING AT ALL

THERE WERE GOOD TIMES WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
PLACES WE'VE SEEN THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE
NOW WE WITHDRAW WHEN WE ARE STUNG
WHERE WE FOUND LOVE NOW THERE IS NONE

LATE AT NIGHT WE TALKED IN BED
SHE HAD DECEPTION IN HER HEAD
I JUST CLOSED MY EYES AND SAID
NOTHING AT ALL

FUNNY HOW THINGS END THAT WAY
LIVE SEPARATE LIVES FROM DAY TO DAY
NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL NOTHING AT ALL

THE LAST TIME SHE SPOKE TO ME
SHE JUST WANTED TO BE FREE
THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT FOR ME
NOTHING AT ALL

THEY SAY IT POURS BEFORE IT RAINS
WE SPEAK BEFORE WE USE OUR BRAINS
NOW NOTHING OF OUR LOVE REMAINS
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL NOTHING AT ALL

Lyrics

I sailed across an angry ocean 
And drove a thousand miles or more I hoped you'd show me some emotion 
When I came knocking at your doorA
When I came knocking at your door 

A long time since your lips I've tasted 
And longer since I've seen you smile I know my words to you are wasted 
Just let me hold you for awhile 
Just let me hold you for awhile 

I don't ask much from you please don't put me on trial 
Just let me hold you for awhile 
Just let me hold you for awhile 

Now we must finish what we started 
I swear I know this much is true We had strong words when we last parted I had regrets and so did you 
I had regrets and so did you 

No telling where I'll be tomorrow 
I'll travel many weary miles I have no need to bring you sorrow 
Just let me hold you for awhile 
Just let me hold you for awhile 

We both have issues that we need to reconcile 
Just let me hold you for awhile 
Just let me hold you for awhile

Got no apologies you know that's not my style 
Just let me hold you for awhile 
Just let me hold you for awhile 
Just let me  hold you for awhile

Lyrics

Hangin' round the corner when she caught my eye 
Such a lovely vision for a lonely guy
Well she caught my eye, tellin' you no lie 
Was a lonely guy till she walked on by 
She was swinging like a school girl 
That's what caught my eye, my oh my! 

I could see her coming from around the block 
I just started humming as I watched her walk 
Watched her do her thing, she could really swing 
She walked up to me and I start to sing
She was swinging like a school girl
Made me start to sing, do my thing 

Swing baby swing, swing baby Swing, swing baby swing, baby Swing, swing baby swing
 
I remember thinking I should take a chance 
With this lovely lady in this circumstance 
I gave her a glance, then I took my chance 
Asked her out with me, asked her out to dance 
She was swinging like a school girl
Made me take a chance, out to dance 

Swing baby swing, swing baby Swing, swing baby swing, baby Swing, swing baby swingG

I knew better than to let her pull my string 
I lose all composure when she does her thing 
When she starts to swing, forget everything 
I do anything, buy her diamond ring
She was swinging like a school girl
Made me buy her bling, diamond ring 
 
Swing baby swing, swing baby 
Swing, swing baby swing, baby 
Swing, swing baby swing
Swing baby swing, swing baby 
Swing, swing baby swing, baby 
Swing, swing baby swing

Lyrics

Let's make a wish and blow the flames from the birthday candles 
You're a year older now but life seems too hot to handle 
People look through you like you're not even there 
like you are Lighter than air a wisp of smoke 

You're different from the lucky ones 
Just different want to hide and run 
So different how could you stay in This place this life 

Capture your thoughts and write them down in a private journal 
No one will know until one day it's all over school where 
People look through you like you're not even there 
like you are Lighter than air a wisp of smoke 

You're different from the lucky ones 
Just different want to hide and run 
So different how could you stay in This place this life 

Did your father scold you Baby he made you tow the line 
Did your mother hold you Baby when did she have the time 
Did your teachers tell you maybe you'll do better next year 
Feeling like a fool with nothing left to lose you want to disappear 

You're different from the lucky ones 
Just different want to hide and run 
So different how could you stay in This place this life 

Counting the pills you found in your mothers cabinet you 
Swallow them down without a thought of the consequences 
People look through you now you're not even there 
now you are Lighter than air a wisp of smoke 

You're different from the lucky ones 
Just different want to hide and run 
So different how could you stay in This place this life 

Flower Girl by Doxter S on Apple Music

Flower Girl by Doxter S on Apple Music

Sometimes the inspiration for a song is a person, maybe a place, or a feeling, or perhaps a period in time. Flower Girl by Doxter S is all of these, one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

The place is introduced in the first verse. Look at a map of the west coast of California and take a guess. The town has a long history going back centuries. The oldest Spanish Mission in North America is there. There is an artist colony. There was a famous Mayor

The person who is the subject of the song, “Flower Girl”, has come to this town from far away. Her mind is always far away as well. She may be a person born of a different era with different sensibilities. We learn that “Flower Girl” is “Stuck in a ripple of time” in pursuit of a lover.

 
Flower Girl was written by Doxter S, sung by a female lead, and was produced at Crimson Studios in McLean, Virginia in 2017.

Lyrics

There is a town just south of Monterey With lots of sea life, sun, and air
There is a girl who comes from far away She wears a flower in her hair 
At night all alone gently strumming her guitar She sings to the moon and the stars La la la la 
Out on the bay lonely sailors hear her song and Long to be held in her arms 

There is a flower shop beside the bay A lonely sailor wanders by
A lovely girl is making a bouquet She has a teardrop in her eye 

At night all alone as she gazes at the moon She sings of the man in her heart La la la la 
Will he return? Hoping she may see him soon She longs to be held in his arms  

Where in the world are you Flower Girl? You're Caught in a ripple of time
Far out at sea your thoughts seem to be In Danger of losing your mind 
Always in motion life in the ocean Doesn't seem so full of strife
Why can't we be like life in the sea Like Otters, together for life 

One Sunday morn she hears the Mission bell She bows her head to say a prayer 
When she looks up she sees him standing there Her tears of joy begin to well 

From that moment on they will never be apart Their hearts sing a song filled with love La la la la 
Out in the bay Otter couples swim and play They're warmed by the sunlight above

Where in the world are you Flower Girl? You're Caught in a ripple of time
Far out at sea your thoughts seem to be In Danger of losing your mind 
Always in motion life in the ocean Doesn't seem so full of strife
Why can't we be like life in the sea Like Otters, together for life
