Perfect by Doxter S combines the complex and poignant emotions of romantic relationships with memorable melodies with heartfelt lyrics into a most enjoyable feast for the ears. Doxter S has a proven track record of creating beautifully emotional popular music that is helping to define the sensibilities of the social fabric that makes us who we are today. The song depicts loneliness and longing, sung by a female lead, reminiscing about a past romantic interest. The situation is fluid and uncertain, possibly substituting one past relationship with a current one. The only certainty seems to be an emptiness:
Wishing he was coming home soon. Been so lonely in their bedroom. When he’s finally home to stay, that would be a perfect day.
They were lovers for an instant, now they seem to be so distant. Why he had to go away. Waiting for a perfect day.
All alone again as sunset. Filling up her heart with regret. If her heart could fly away, that would be a perfect day.

There has been a lot going on in the last few years. 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.

Doxter S spent some time in September 2018 in Nice (pronounced like Niece in English) on the French Riviera. This large metropolitan city is the summer playground for the French. It’s more upscale neighbors Monte Carlo to the east and Cannes to the west are for aristocrats and sheikhs.
Not that the Porte de Nice doesn’t have its share of luxury yachts and millionaires. Bill Gates and Tina Turner live nearby. What Nice does have is a rich history and a charming old town (Vieux Nice) and lots of British and American expats.
Nice was home to some very famous French painters, including Renoir and Matisse. There is a Chagall museum in the northern part of Nice.

Squeeze
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.

Dorian
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. Dorian now on on Spotify and Apple Music
Masquerade
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.

Canyons
The canyon lands of southwestern United States may be the most beautiful part of this continent. The Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Glen Canyon are in Arizona. Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon are in Utah. They are visited by millions or tourists from all over the world every year. The ancestors of our Native Americans arrived thousands of years earlier. The Navajo and Hopi residents continue a tradition of devotion and reverence to this wondrous landscape. Canyons by Doxter S captures the spirit of this land and its people in a song based on the Native Flute.
The melody uses a simple pentatonic scale in a minor key. The percussion is a Native Hand Drum. The female vocalist sings sweetly. The lyrics contrast a modern day romance with the centuries old story of the people inhabiting this spectacular place. The Hopi pray and dance for rain. Kokopelli plays his Magic Flute. The singer refers to her lover, once upon a time together hiking, rafting, and camping here. Then the flame went out. It ended much too soon.
Canyons by Doxter S is hopeful but melancholy. There is mystery, wonderment, joy, and sadness. The canyon lands remains as a foundation for continuation and renewal. The song is both spiritual and uplifting. Just listen with your eyes shut and you can see Kokopelli playing to his Hoodoo audience.

Form A Line
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.
I wrote a song for a wedding this year that was light and airy and sweet. I imagined the young newlyweds dancing to it. [on another planet]. The real wedding dances were very different and everyone was crowding the dance floor. They all knew the melodies and lyrics and sang along while dancing vigorously. I was impressed that a wedding song needs to have more energy, less sweetness, a simpler melody, and lyrics everyone would sing. After finishing this song I needed a title. I remembered John Travolta as the Angel Michael (1996) saying that when he first came to earth everyone was just milling around. Michael told them to “Form a Line”.
