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.

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.

Better Days

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.

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.

Details

Details by Doxter S is a Jazz-Blues song in Em that tells an ages-old story about the morning after – with a hangover of epic proportion. The instrumental phrasing alternates between keyboard and guitar. The rhythm is syncopated with the bass and piano echoing each other. The outro repeats the final statement of the chorus.

Details now on Spotify and Apple Music.

Stay

This beautiful love song in G-Major can be performed by either female or male lead. A piano provides the foundation. The cello and contrabass alternate legato and pizzicato. There is syncopation between the instrument voices.​

The instrumental intro, with piano, cello, and contrabass, is happy. The melody for the first and second verse, sung by Sara, is plaintive. Each verse has a tension building bridge. The second verse follows the first bridge immediately. (The original score separated them with a repeat of the intro).​

The chorus is commanding, strong, with a positive vibe. The use of the B-Major in a single phrase of the chorus adds unexpected urgency to the lyrics. (This production was transposed to D-Major, so F-Major provides the tension). ​

The first and second chorus are separated by a vocalized version of the intro melody. This is again upbeat, happy. The second chorus has different lyrics. Following the second chorus is a repeat of the instrumental intro. The song ends with a repeat of the first chorus on a happy note. ​

Stay by Doxter S is one of 73 original song written by Doxter S and produced at Crimson Studios in McLean, Virginia. Now available for streaming on Apple Music and Spotify.

Bargain

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 now on Spotify and Apple Music.

Nice

Nice by Doxter S is a delicate ballad with solo female vocalist (Sara) and classical guitar accompaniment will decompress and fulfill your soul. Listen to Nice, one of 73 original songs by Doxter S, on Spotify and Apple Music.

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. They all came to enjoy the sea air, the clear Mediterranean waters, and most of all the light and color of this place. The sky and the sea were so blue they gave it the name Côte d’Azur.

Everywhere

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.  Listen to Everywhere by Doxter S on Spotify and Apple Music.

Dogged

This is a love song for people, dogs, dogs who love people, and people who love dogs.

Dogged by Doxter S is available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

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

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.

Masquerade now on Spotify and Apple Music.

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

Daybreak by Doxter S is a Winter Holiday song

Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box.

This song started out as an instrumental Rondo of 8-bars. The complex melodies seemed to lend themselves as the basis for a holiday song.

I started with lyrics simply describing the familiar auditory sensation of an Ear Worm. Perhaps it’s just music playing in your head that you heard at the shopping mall. In my case the music was new and original, with yet to be defined lyrics. As I developed this theme I focused on Christmas time and holiday music.

The reference to the season being winter and the presence of music playing everywhere are subtle links to Christmas time. The lyrics “Bright music Good tidings come with the Sun rising” and “Sweet voices are singing angelic with feeling” are additional ties to the traditional holiday music. Otherwise this song is without any anchors to limit it to one genre.

The entire song is constructed with the familiar rondo build up of layers incorporating the instrumentals and vocals to reach a crescendo just before the outro.

Addicted

Addicted by Doxter S is an uptempo song with an electro-island beat and is sung with great passion by a female lead vocalist with backing harmony.  The melody and Hip Hop style beat are very catchy and the lyrics are inspired by popular culture. The mood is very positive. Addicted by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

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.

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

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”.
