Love Hurt Bleed (paul berry no fret Partridge Remix)

My Reflection

Here for Me

Going Down

Just A Number

In Your Head

FABLES, ACT I

Hush Now

"Alchemy" is an unapologetically raw industrial rock track built on heavy, grinding textures and dark atmospheric layers. At its core, the song is about transformation—turning the “lead” of fear, ego, and trauma into the “gold” of wisdom, compassion, and true personal power. The track is currently an instrumental, waiting for a vocal line and lyrics that will carry its message of inner alchemy and evolution. Stark and metallic in its sound, yet threaded with a sense of hope, Alchemy captures the violent beauty of breaking down what no longer serves you and forging something stronger from the ashes. It may appear on a future album as part of a larger journey through human struggle, growth, and transcendence.

Personal growth: turn your “lead” (fear, ego, trauma) into “gold” (wisdom, compassion, skill).

In The Shadows of Darkness "They arrived when our faith was fading."

Alchemy

“Between Heaven and the Void” by Dean R. Chandler is a cinematic fusion of orchestral grandeur and electronic pulse — a journey through light and shadow, faith and fear. The track opens with brooding strings and a deep, pulsing synth heartbeat, slowly unfolding into vast brass swells and thunderous percussion. Intimate piano passages whisper the verses, contrasting the explosive choruses where symphony and celestial choirs collide.

As the song ascends, layers of taiko drums, ethereal female chants, and soaring strings evoke a sense of divine conflict — the struggle between salvation and surrender. It concludes in a sweeping, transcendent finale, leaving the listener suspended between the heavens above and the infinite void below.

This is the sound of the soul searching for its place among the stars.

“Between Heaven and the Void” is a song about what it feels like to be suspended between hope and uncertainty — that strange, quiet place where you’re searching for meaning but the universe isn’t giving you a straight answer.

At the heart of the song is the image of a broken satellite drifting through space.
That satellite represents a person who’s still sending out signals, still reaching for connection, still searching for something bigger — even after life has knocked them around.

The “heaven” in the song is the world of light, purpose, and faith.
The “void” is the darkness, the doubt, the fear that nothing is really out there.

The song moves between those two emotional states:
	•	The verses explore ancient spiritual questions — the kind we all ask when life pushes us to our limits.
	•	The chorus admits the truth: sometimes we’re lost, floating between who we were and who we’re trying to become.
	•	The bridge, with its huge orchestral lift, is that moment where the universe suddenly feels alive — like it’s humming back at you, even if you can’t understand the message.

In the end, the song isn’t about choosing heaven or the void.
It’s about being brave enough to drift through that in-between space — to keep reaching, keep listening, and keep hoping — even when the answers aren’t clear.

It’s a song for anyone who’s ever felt caught between faith and fear, light and darkness, past and future… and still kept going.

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND THE VOID

[Verse]
Flickering stars like ancient prayers
Whispering secrets to the endless air
Silent temples carved in time
Stand on the edge of the divine

[Chorus]
Between heaven and the void I drift
A broken satellite
A lonely gift
Wings of light
Shadows collide
I’m lost in the pull of the great divide

[Verse 2]
Cosmic winds hum hymns of old
A tapestry of dust and gold
I reach for halos
They slip away
Chasing the dawn of another day

[Prechorus]
Is it faith or fear that calls my name
A sacred fire or a fleeting flame

[Chorus]
Between heaven and the void I drift
A broken satellite
A lonely gift
Wings of light
Shadows collide
I’m lost in the pull of the great divide

[Bridge]
Galaxies bloom
They sing and they fall
I hear the echoes of a voice in it all
A choir of stars
A silence so loud
Am I rising or fading into the cloud

[Prechorus]
Is it faith or fear that calls my name
A sacred fire or a fleeting flame

[Chorus]
Between heaven and the void I drift
A broken satellite
A lonely gift
Wings of light
Shadows collide
I’m lost in the pull of the great divide

[Outro]
Between heaven and the void I drift
A broken satellite
A lonely gift
Wings of light
Shadows collide
I’m lost in the pull of the great divide

Between Heaven and the Void

“THE STORM - A LOVE DIVIDED” (AI Version)

The Storm is a raw and intimate AI re-imagining of a demo named 'The Storm' I recorded a few years ago. This isn’t the official release — it’s a standalone cover of my own original song, which will finally appear in its true form on 23 January 2027 when A Human Odyssey launches.

This version shifts the lens.
Instead of the album’s storyline — where the song belongs to a man on the brink of ending his life after losing his son — this take explores the agony of two lovers who cannot be together. Circumstances keep them apart, and the separation is tearing their souls to pieces. Both are crying out to God for strength, clinging on by a thread as the darkness closes in. The female vocal brings a different kind of ache to the track… one that feels like two hearts praying across a storm.

In the wider Human Odyssey universe, this song actually exists across multiple timelines.
The 2025 album version is about grief, abandonment, and the breaking of a father’s heart.
But there may also be a 1566 version — a love-song interpretation set in the Tudor/Norse thread of the story, where two soulmates feel God is once again keeping them apart.
If this were ever a film, The Storm would echo through the centuries in different forms — each one carrying the same plea: “My God, why have you forsaken me?”

This AI version is simply another window into that same emotion… just told through love rather than loss.

THE STORM

[Verse 1]
I didn't see the storm approaching
I couldn't feel the beads of rain
I didn't feel the wind surround my soul
Was blind to this type of pain

[Verse 2]
I didn't hear my cries of sorrow
I was lost without a light
I was cold in all my darkness
Now I feel that something is just not right

[Pre-Chorus]
Call for me, I don't feel you
Reach for me, I'm losing  you

[Chorus]
My God, why have you forsaken me?
I've walked alone from the start
Now I must find you
Before I am lost in the dark 
Heal my broken heart

[Verse 3]
If this is my time to be here
I'll dance one more time in the rain
I question my fear of darkness
Forgive me, I can't feel my shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Call for me, I don't feel you
Reach for me, I can't see you

[Chorus]
My God, why have you forsaken me?
I've walked alone from the start
Now I must find you
Before I am lost in the dark
Heal my broken heart

[Bridge]
Blinded and cold, stories untold
Memories of days in the sun
We've come undone, songs left unsung
Help me to live one more day without you

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
My God, why have you forsaken me?
I've walked alone from the start
Now I must find you
Before I am lost in the dark
Heal my broken heart

[Outro]
Oh, my God, why have you forsaken me?
I've walked alone from the start
Now I must find you
Before I am lost in the dark (before I am lost to the dark)
Heal my broken heart

The Storm, A Love Divided

This is an edited clip of our version of the Tubeway Army single from 1978 which was written by Gary Numan and later featured in his 1979 'Touring Principle' live show albeit a much different take on the track. We are hoping for an official release for this track in 2020.

I’m Dean R. Chandler — a London based songwriter, recording artist, and storyteller. My music is rooted in a lifelong search for meaning, weaving together themes of love, loss, faith, alien contact, and humanity’s future.

My upcoming double concept album Human Odyssey (set for release in January 2027) is the culmination of decades of writing and reflection. It’s a narrative journey that begins with a search for God and ends with an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence — exploring not only what it means to be human, but also where we might be heading as a species. Musically, it draws inspiration from the epic storytelling of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, the synth-driven edge of Gary Numan, and the emotional depth of artists like Tori Amos and Chris de Burgh.

I previously released Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams (2014) and continue to revisit my archive of songs written across 35 years, reimagining them with today’s tools and sounds. Some pieces remain intimate and acoustic, while others expand into dark rock, industrial, or orchestral landscapes — but all are connected by a focus on emotional honesty and cinematic storytelling.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I’ve been experimenting with AI-driven composition and production to bring old demos to life and to spark entirely new works. For me, these tools are not replacements for human artistry but extensions of it — ways of unlocking stories and emotions that otherwise might have remained hidden.

At its heart, my work is about connection: to the past, to the future, and to the unseen mysteries of existence. Music, for me, isn’t just entertainment — it’s a chronicle of transformation, a conversation between spirit, science, and sound.
