Part of Me

### The Best for Her
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

I always want the best for her
I can't believe that means to quit
There must be something I can do
To make the pieces fit

It wears me out to keep on trying
It eats away to keep on lying
Day by day we all are dying
And time is going away

Every day I tell myself
I must find another way
Another way to help, and change her fate
Or am I much too late

I don't need so very much
Or am I lying to myself
Is it me that needs some more
But I cannot close the door

[chorus]
She can't do what she can't do
Some things she can't no more
Some thoughts are now long gone
Nothing's ever like before

[instrumental]

I always want the best for her  
I can't believe that means to quit  
There must be something I can do  
To make the pieces fit

She can't see me anymore
She sees my shape but it ain't me
She can't hear my voice
Just someone making noise

I can only stay a bit
After a while I have to quit
Seeing her I feel remorse
But for what? That is the curse

This could have ended long ago
But it keeps on going on
No one's being helped
Where's the ending to this song

[chorus]  
She can't do what she can't do
Some things she can't no more
Some thoughts are now long gone
Nothing's ever like before

[instrumental]

This could have ended long ago
But it keeps on going on
No one's being helped
Where's the ending to this song

[chorus]  
She can't do what she can't do
Some things she can't no more
Some thoughts are now long gone
Nothing's ever like before

[outro]

Baby, I am Sorry.wav

If you knew my madness,
The storms beneath my skin,
The places where the light gets lost,
The battles I hold in.
If you saw the edges
Where I start to fall apart,
You’d know how much it means to me
To let the sky hold my heart.

If you knew the depth of my despair,
The cracks that breathe beneath the prayer,
You’d understand why I still chase
The wind that whispers through this space.
If you knew the darkness I have been,
You’d never ask why I need wings.

There are oceans in my silence,
And ghosts behind my eyes.
I’ve built my calm from chaos,
Made peace with all my lies.
And if you ever touched the pain
That hides beneath my grace,
You’d know the wings I dream to wear
Aren’t meant to leave this place.

If you knew the depth of my despair,
The cracks that breathe beneath the prayer,
You’d understand why I still chase
The wind that whispers through this space.
If you knew the darkness I have been,
You’d never ask why I need wings.

The fall has taught me how to see,
The ground’s too close, the sky’s too free.
But only those who break inside,
Can learn the secret art to fly.

If you knew my madness, you would see,
The fire’s just what’s saving me.
The wings I wear are made of scars,
They carried me beyond the stars.
If you knew the darkness I have been,
You’d understand — why I need wings.

If you knew my madness…
You’d fly with me.

If you knew my madness

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.
