Song Review: New Heaven by Dean R. Chandler
A devastatingly beautiful glimpse into the ashes of the old world and the blueprint for what’s to come.

From the first haunting notes of “New Heaven”, Dean R. Chandler draws listeners into a cinematic world where grief, revelation, and renewal collide. Part of his upcoming concept album Human Odyssey, this track captures a pivotal moment in the story — a bereaved father, witnessing the collapse of human civilization, is pulled beyond time and into the presence of ancient alien gods. What he finds is not just judgment, but a heartbreaking offer: one last chance to begin again.

Musically, New Heaven is soaked in atmosphere — a slow-burning, almost prophetic soundscape that evokes the emotional gravity of a man kneeling before the end of everything he’s ever known. The track’s sonic palette feels both modern and ancient: echoing synths, thunderous low-end, and a vocal performance that is at once fragile and defiant. Dean’s voice carries the weight of the lyrics like a man channelling something greater than himself, as if he too has glimpsed the truth behind the veil.

The lyrics strike deep. Lines like “This was the Heaven we gave to you, yet somehow you’ve torn it apart” deliver an unflinching indictment of humanity’s failure, echoed by the sorrow of its creators. But this isn't just doom and fire — it's about vision. A vision of a new Heaven, not inherited, but earned through love, sacrifice, and remembrance. The final chorus offers an emotional release as stirring as any cinematic climax: “Heaven will rise from the dust.”

There’s a spiritual resonance here — not religious, but mythic. Like Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds or Numan’s Savage, New Heaven paints with a wide brush of dystopian beauty, yet anchors itself in something deeply human. Grief. Regret. And ultimately, hope.

In a world overwhelmed with noise, New Heaven dares to slow down, to mourn, to witness — and to believe that maybe, just maybe, we can start again. For fans of narrative-driven, atmospheric music that asks big questions and rewards deep listening, this is not just a song. It’s a calling.

VERSE 1
I fall, to my knees
I can’t quite believe this
The prophecy of our time, has come to be

VERSE 2
And the sky, turns so red
I’ve seen the fire, our end of days
I’ve seen the Gods, and I’ve seen death

CHORUS 1
This was the Heaven we gave to you
Yet somehow, you’ve torn it apart
Now you cry
Remembering all that you’ve lost
So, this was the Heaven I gave to you
Yet somehow, you’ve blown it apart
As the Earth dies
Man can see all that he’s lost

VERSE 3
I fall down yet, feel a need to run 
And then I’m pulled from, this darkness but can’t see our sun

VERSE 4
Now you come, your face appears to me
You’re not the Angel, Messiah, they told us to believe 

CHORUS 2
Then it says:
I’ll show you the place we want for you
No Sacrifice will be enough 
The Earth burns
Yet Heaven will rise from the dust
This is the place we’ll make for you
But only for one who have loved
Your time comes
Remembering all that you’ve have lost

OUTRO CHORUS 
This is the place we will make for you
But only for one who have loved
Your time comes
Remember the things that you’ve lost
I’ll show you the place we want for you
No Sacrifice will be enough 
The Earth burns
Heaven will rise from the dust

A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING 
(c) 2025 Cooper/Jones

There’s a first time for everything 
Were the last words he spoke 
Who knows what tomorrow might bring 
When the darkness sheds it’s cloak
I doubt it will bring solace I doubt it will bring joy 
A woman now but I was still
His little girl holdin’ her toy 

There’s a first time for everything 
He laughed as he taught me to swim  
Don’t be nervous, just jump right in
Were the right words from him  
Grab life right by the throat  
And don’t ever let it go  
I always heeded his advice  
And last night I told him so 

There’s a first time for everything 
He whispered as he held my son 
His features slowly softening 
As proud as anyone
He was grateful for each new day  
He believed he’d been blessed 
He worked hard and he played hard  
And now he’s earned his rest 

Late into the evening
Surrounded by his loving folk 
There’s a first time for everything
Were the last words he spoke 

There's A First Time For Everything

I NEED YOU NOW
2025 Cooper Jones

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

I tell you what I’m dealin’ with
A fierce deep-rooted feelin’ with
Only one conclusion
And you’re the one solution (stop)

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

An overwhelming sensation
Craving for pure elation
Is consuming my whole being
I know what would stop me reelin’

For this kind of fever
You are my pain reliever
Don’t need a diagnosis
Just you in great big doses
 
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

Instr.

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow


I Need You Now

Dean R. Chandler – “Bay of Biscay”
Genre: Ambient Psychedelia / Cinematic Electronica

Step aboard the Bay of Biscay, a spellbinding sonic voyage where alien skies meet earthly waters. Dean R. Chandler weaves a rich tapestry of ambient textures, cinematic pulses, and subconscious storytelling in this atmospheric masterpiece. With thunder rumbling in the distance and gentle waves echoing beneath ethereal synths, the track creates an immersive soundscape perfect for deep listeners, cosmic wanderers, and seekers of the beyond.

Balancing emotional depth with mystique, Chandler captures the awe of alien visitation not with fear, but with reverence — as if Contact itself emerged mid-sail under starlight. The production is both subtle and expansive, drawing on influences from Pink Floyd’s meditative spaces to the more transcendental fringes of Brian Eno or Jon Hopkins.

This is music for night skies, spiritual awakenings, and late-night headphone rituals. Whether you're drifting off the coast or deep within your own consciousness, Bay of Biscay guides you to the edges of this world—and gently nudges you into the next

Lyrics

Verse 1
Something is here tonight
I can now feel its coldness Walk to me
It looks, sad behind those eyes Then it smiles

Verse 2
It said,
“Everything I have seen,
every place I have wondered, shows the same, somethings never seem to change. There’s no time”

Bridge 1
“There, is more to your reason There is more to see with your eyes But not with fire and the glory It’s love that shows you the light”

Chorus
“Hold my hand, we can fly over land
I’ll make you understand
What is wrong, with the things that you’ve done Show you, where you’ve gone wrong”
It is time
You must now understand, the making of our plan You’re the one, like a father to son
Show you what now must here be done”

Verse 3
Now I am left dark and cold
I’m broken by my confusion
I’ve now seen, and heard, the ghosts and many screams Of our time

Verse 4
I say
“This is our time to change
Buts everything I will tell you Breaks the pane, I know, I now look insane But are we blind?

Bridge 2
Listen, there is more to our reason There is more to see with our eyes

Chorus
So, hold my hand, we can fly over land
I’ll make you understand
What is wrong, with the things that we’ve done Show you, where we’ve gone wrong”
It is time
You must now understand, the making of their plan I’m the one, like a father to son
Show you what now must here be done”

LEFT THE DREAM RUNNIN’

Got no reason to feel fearful
But I do yes, I do
Got no reason to feel tearful
But I do yes, I do
I’ll get shot, not by a bullet
But that trigger, if you pull it
‘N put a hole straight through my heart
‘N tear my life apart
 
 I’m hopin’ that you won’t
 I’m prayin’ that you don’t
 
So, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can jump back in
Yeah, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can get crackin’
Just say the word
And we’ll save the world
From spinnin’ off its axis
Into eternal blackness
Or decide that you’re still comin’
I left the dream a-runnin’
 
Got no reason to feel stressed out
But I do yes, I do
Got no reason to express doubt
But I do yes, I do
Are you plannin’ an attack
To plunge a knife right in my back
‘N leave me lyin’ on the floor
‘N turn around and slam the door
 
I’m hopin’ that you won’t
I’m prayin’ that you don’t
 
So, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can jump back in
Yeah, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can get crackin’
Just say the word
And we’ll save the world
From spinnin’ off its axis
Into eternal blackness
Or decide that you’re still comin’
I left the dream a-runnin’
 
Throw me a lifeline, reassure me
Put my mind at ease
Show me a sign that truly, surely
The dream’s alive, oh please
 
So, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can jump back in
Yeah, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can get crackin’
Just say the word
And we’ll save the world
From spinnin’ off its axis
Into eternal blackness
Or decide that you’re still comin’
I left the dream a-runnin’
