Song Description: “My Love This Christmas” by Dean R. Chandler

Originally written in 1992 after a vivid dream, My Love This Christmas was Dean R. Chandler’s heartfelt gift to his girlfriend at the time — a song born from young love, vulnerability, and the hope of new beginnings. Blending classical warmth with timeless pop sensibility, it captures that magical moment when love melts away the coldness of the past.

Recorded later in 1993 year at Gary Numan’s Outland Studio — with Gary himself behind the desk engineering the session — the track carried a purity and sincerity that has endured over the decades.

First professionally produced and released in 2014 on Dean’s debut album Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams, this 2025 AI-reimagined version breathes new cinematic life into the original. With sweeping orchestration, lush strings, with deeply emotive vocal, My Love This Christmas returns as a nostalgic journey through love, memory, and redemption — a winter classic reborn for a new generation.

MY LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS

[Verse 1]
I've been hurt in the past by love
But then I guess you have too
All the memories haunt my mind
I've been afraid of loving you

[Verse 2]
Now so much love feels this winters air
Children playing with snow
And when you lay by my side tonight
Oh darling I want you to know

[Chorus]
I'll give you my love this Christmas
I'm giving my love to you
Because it feels so right 
When I'm holding you tight in the snow, (it's cold)
And I will feel warm this Christmas
I'm gonna feel warmth with you
'cause I've been cold so long
Now I'm writing this song just for you

[Verse 3]
Far from home and the ones you love
Don't be sad don't be blue
I will give you everything
My heart and soul too
It's true 

[Verse 4]
I'll look back at this Christmas
I'm so pleased to be here
Everything that I wanted
I found it, you're standing right here

[Chorus]
I'm giving my love this Christmas
I'm giving my love to you
Because it feels so right when I'm holding you tight in the snow,  (it's cold)
And I will feel warm this Christmas
I'm gonna feel warm with you
Because I've been cold  so long
Now I'm writing this song just for you

[Instrumental]

(I'll give you my love this Christmas)

[Outro]
Yes I've been cold for so long
Now I'm writing this song just for you

(For you)

About

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.
