Dr. CE

Acoustic rock and folk rock with country, blues, and American Songbook influences.

Formerly "Dr. C and the Stratocats," I'm now on a solo career as "Dr. C," but I had to change my stage name here because someone else had already claimed it. My music strives for melody above all else; I strive to make my songs memorable, so you can whistle a tune immediately. I see melody as the element most lacking in contemporaryr music. I love Sinatra and the Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, anyone who can write a memorable "tune."

SoundClick artist Dr. CE presents "Obsession", an outstanding release in the Acoustic Rock genre. The arrangement reflects a careful attention to detail that rewards repeated listening. With a tone that is manicdepression, acoustic blues and rhythm and blues, Dr. CE's track connects on an emotional level. Dr. CE is an independent artist on SoundClick, releasing Acoustic Rock music directly to fans worldwide.

Story behind the song

Patched together from the chorus of another song I didn't like, which became the verse section here, to which I added another chorus.  Yes, I'm in love!

Lyrics

Seeking Her

I have been seeking a companion
Truer than the truest friend.
I would pursue her with abandon,
On this you may depend.

There is a loneliness you’re born with
And then another kind you learn--
I know the woman that I’m sworn with
Will shade me like a fern.

I have besought the perfect partner,
The one to save me from the pit.
There is no limit to my ardor
If all the screws will fit.

Chorus:
Where does she run to?
Where does she hide?
I’d take ten arrows to stand by her side.

Is her hair silver?
Is her hair gold?
I would deliver my heart to her soul.

I have been searching for a helpmate
Just as Adam yearned for Eve
Though my requirement for a soul mate
I admit is quite naive.

With all the women lost to pleasure
And all the others lost to guilt,
You’d think that one would come to treasure
The pattern of my quilt.  

She doesn’t have to be a beauty
Although I think she’ll likely be.
I want her love and not her duty,
No “Last Duchess” for me.

Chorus

Repeat first verse and out with chorus.
