I Can See You

[Verse 1]
So, now I stand before you, my heart is still in pain.
The echoes of his laughter, remind me every day.
How can there be a God, that takes my son away.
But if you hear me now, I give thanks for all he gave.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep tight, my son, I’ll see you again.
The candles flicker softly, stained-glass windows casts a glow,
As I bow my head in prayer, I sense a warmth I used to know.

[Chorus]
I feel you with me, oh how need you 
The time has come for me to let you go
I’ll hold your memory, ‘till I can see you  
But now I know that I must say, goodbye  
With love in my heart

[Verse 2]
I made my peace with God and I’m ready to depart,
Then a presence filled the air, and stilled my beating heart.
There you stood before me, like a vision bathed in light,
A gentle, loving smile, as tears poured and blurred my sight.


[Pre-Chorus]
How can, this be, that I see you again!
You reached out to embrace me, and I felt your spirit call,
We walked out to the sunlight, where shadows cannot fall.

[Chorus]
Now you’re with me, and I can see you 
Walking out of darkness into light
Now you’re with me, I can hold you
In that fleeting moment, everything aligned.

[Bridge]
Then it appeared, a glowing orb, radiant as the dawn,
Within its light, a bridge appeared, leading somewhere far beyond.
You turned to me, your voice so clear, “Dad, it’s my time to go,
But I’ll wait for you beyond this bridge, where love forever flows.”
[Chorus]
Oh my son, you’re my guiding light,
You’ve taught me how to hope within the dark.
Now cross your bridge of lumina light
I’ll carry you within my soul until 
It’s my own time to fly.

[Outro]
I’ll watch you walk into the orb of light, 
I can see your silhouette aglow,
You’re walking slowly over the Bridge of Light 
A bridge to where the angels greet your soul 
And bring you home.

I Can See You

I Can See You (Demo)

TENDER TOUCH

When I first saw you
Your eye's where filled with life
We had an instant attraction
But it had to be denied

You had another lover
I knew he was to be the one
But, he's left you for another
Now a man like that don’t deserve another chance

I can make it right
Take my hand
Don't be alone tonight

My Tender Touch can heal your pain
I'll take away the loneliness
That lays, still in your heart
My Tender Touch will heal your faith
And give you hope
I'll take your anger
No more tears in the heart

So many years I have wondered
Was it real or just a dream
Now after so many lovers
Still the memory of our night is haunting me

So many lonely nights
Only you
Can make it right

Your Tender Touch and your smiling face
Could take away the pain inside
That lays still in my heart

So won't you think about it?
That is all I ask of you
Don't be afraid it ain't crazy
You can't change the past
But the future’s down to you

No more lonely nights
And no tears
It's just a love that's right

My Tender Touch can heal your pain
I'll take away the loneliness
That lays, still in your heart
My Tender Touch will heal your faith
And give you hope
I'll take your anger
No more tears in the heart

Yeah, your Tender Touch
That lays still in my heart

Yeah, your Tender Touch
That lays still in my heart

THE SACRIFICES

I heard a rumour
They say you are alone
No one to run to
No friends are on the phone

So tell me
What you gonna do now your love has gone
How you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now your girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

The girl and I were over
It wasn't meant to be
But I trusted you, you were a friend
And I told you everything

You listen like a friend should
And helped through it all
Now I here it through the grapevine
I see you walking out her door

CHORUS

So how am I supposed to feel
When I told you everything
When I see you drive up
I watch the bedroom lights go dim

So I here you blame me
Your friends are not around
I've put the knife right in your back
And no-ones to be found
NOW!

But, don't go and blame me
It wasn't like that at all
And don't find excuses
You make yourself look small

It wasn't me who changed them

It's you can't you see
You left without a trace
And you didn't care for anything

You thought the grass was greener
You thought she'd make you smile

SO TELL ME

The Sacrifices '96

"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

An Interlude with Time is a cinematic, classical instrumental — sober yet beautiful, filled with reflection, regret, longing, and the hope of reconciliation. It carries the weight of memories while gently moving forward into acceptance. This piece is still evolving — an additional melody and vocal line will join it — but it will definitely appear on a future album.

An Interlude with Time

This is an instrumental track that needs a vocal line for a future album.

Now, We've Fallen

Now, We’ve Fallen

🎭 Through Russian Eyes 🎭 A grand opera house. A woman’s voice rising above the orchestra.

She doesn’t sing for politics. She sings for her people — for peace, for love, for acceptance. Her aria cuts through the weight of isolation, daring the West to see the heart of Russia, not the shadow of its leaders.

As she sings, her gaze finds a man in the audience — a stranger from the West. In that instant, borders dissolve. Their love becomes the anthem, not the nations they were born into.

“Through Russian Eyes” begins as a classical instrumental… but soon it will be reborn as a song where love defies walls, and music becomes the bridge between worlds. 🌍❤️🎶

Through Russian Eyes

“A Love Fear” is a classical piece that captures the exhilarating highs and nerve-jangling lows of a new relationship—the thrill, the uncertainty, and that dizzying rollercoaster of emotions. Thankfully, at my age, that ride is well behind me… or at least, I certainly hope so!

This tune has been stuck in my head for years like an uninvited house guest. I could never decide… lyrics or no lyrics? 🎶

Enter Suno AI, which took my humming and turned it into this gorgeous arrangement. Honestly, I think it stands tall without words… but hey, if you fancy yourself a lyricist, I’d love to see what you’d come up with!

A Love Fear

A regal, classical piece inspired by my upcoming book, where a man is summoned to Buckingham Palace to reveal his knowledge of UAPs. Part of the journey leading to my 2027 album Human Odyssey.

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.
