Colpo di scena

This cinematic synth-driven track blends theatrical spoken-word verses with dramatic, atmospheric choruses, inspired by the iconic "One Night in Bangkok". With bold 80s-style production, layered vocals, and moody storytelling, "One Night in Shanghai" takes you into the shadows of a city pulsing with mystery, ambition, and danger.
For fans of: Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Giorgio Moroder, The Weeknd (Dawn FM era), and musical theater with a dark electronic edge.

One Night In Shanghai

The opening track pulses like a synthetic heartbeat, layering airy pads with mournful guitar delays. Vaelrix frames dopamine as a dragon in the mind, chasing relief while unraveling at the seams. This is the gateway into the album’s emotional architecture.

Dopamine

this set became something new for me — i had never played like this before. an attempt to break free through sound.

it opens with my fresh demo, born just a few days ago, fragile and alive. then it drifts into tracks that have become my companions, my shadows, my inspiration in recent times.

here, **dark electro**, **EBM**, and **darkwave** intertwine into a single stream — tense, haunting, and honest. this is my way of telling a story without words.

TRACK REVIEW

“EYES” is a bold reimagining of one of Dean R. Chandler’s most powerful tracks, written in 1993 and first appearing on his 2014 double album TiME MACHiNE – Reflecting Shattered Dreams. Here, Chandler breathes new life into the song with a modern AI-assisted production that transforms it into a cinematic modern rock experience.

The track feels heavier, sharper, and more atmospheric than its original incarnation. Guitars grind and surge with a gritty edge, the rhythm section drives like a pulse of paranoia, and the vocal sits front and center, carrying both anger and vulnerability. AI doesn’t dull the emotion—it amplifies it, giving “EYES” an almost theatrical quality, as if scored for a psychological rock opera.

Lyrically, the song remains as potent as ever. Themes of love, betrayal, and obsession cut like the knife mentioned in the pre-chorus, while the haunting refrain “It’s in her eyes and her arms and her heart” echoes like an accusation that can’t be forgotten. Where the 2014 version was raw and reflective, this 2025 version is darker, cinematic, and unapologetically intense.

By revisiting “EYES” through the lens of modern tools, Chandler proves that AI can be more than a gimmick—it can be a collaborator, reshaping memory into something new. This track isn’t just a remix; it’s a reinvention, bridging past and future while reaffirming Chandler’s reputation as an artist unafraid to innovate.

EYES
[Verse 1]
This is my story, my disease
This is an anger, a hunger that feeds
This is a new world that I don't know
This is a secret, a secret that shows

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been in love, I've played the game
I've been up to come crashing down again
I've heard your rumours and I've heard the lies
But my God, I didn't realize

[Chorus]
What are you looking for?
Now you walk out the door
Tell me your reason for leaving
I should have known before
I've heard it all, I'm sure
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart

[Verse 2]
(Yeah) You talk of love and now you talk about pain
You're telling me you've played in every kind of game
You think you've been around and seen it all before
I'm telling you you've seen nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus]
You're all mixed up, watching TV
You're a girl caught in a fantasy
So it's about time that you realize
This game called love cuts like a knife

[Chorus]
What are you looking for?
Now you walk out the door
Tell me your reason for leaving
I should have known before
I've heard it all, I'm sure
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart
It's in her eyes, arms, heart
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
What are you looking for?
Now you walk out the door
Tell me your reason for leaving
I should have known before
I've heard it all, I'm sure
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart
What are you looking for?
Now you walk out the door
Tell me your reason for leaving
I should have known before, because I know the score
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart
It's in her eyes, arms, heart
It's in her eyes and her arms and her heart

🎵 Song Description: “Cry” by Dean R. Chandler

“Cry” is a haunting and emotional story of two broken souls searching for solace in the aftermath of heartbreak. After a bitter split from his long-term girlfriend, a man finds himself lost, seeking peace and distraction in the arms of a stranger at a dimly lit bar. She too carries the scars of her own failed love, and together they attempt to escape their pain through one night of passion and mutual need.

But as the night fades, both realize that lust cannot heal the wounds left by love. The emptiness remains, echoing in the silence that follows. Only later, when the anger subsides and new faces fail to fill the void, do they both finally allow themselves to cry for what they lost — not just each other, but the innocence and hope that once defined them.

With cinematic production and raw emotion, “Cry” explores the fragile space between desire and regret — when the heart seeks comfort but the soul still grieves.

CRY

 [Verse 1]
So now, the time has come
And you are out of sight
I guess the days have gone
Where pain would rule my night
Slowly memories die
I'll put your picture out of sight

[Chorus]
I open my heart, but nothing can make me cry
You tear me apart with rumors, deception, and lies
I run from your heart and make a new start this time
I'll hide all the pain, the love, and the shame tonight
I'm slowly dying now

[Verse 2]
I've been watching you, sitting at the bar
In need of company, we head towards my car
Slowly touch me now
Make time for love somehow

[Chorus]
Open your heart and make a new start this time (And love me)
Take all your time, all your emotions inside (Come through me)
Pull on my shame like nothing you've ever seen
(Because I need you)
You make love so right, so hold me and thrill me tonight
Slowly touch me now

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Open your heart and make a new start this time (And love me)
Take all your time, all your emotions inside (Come through me)
Pull on my shame like nothing you've ever seen
(Because I need you)
You make love so right, so hold me and thrill me tonight
Slowly touch me now

[Chorus]
I open my heart, but nothing can make me cry
You tear me apart with rumors, deception, and lies
I run from your heart and make a new start this time
I'll hide all the pain, the love, and the shame tonight
I'm slowly dying now

[Outro]
You've been gone for such a long time and it hurts
Do you think of me? Do your memories hurt?
Slowly dying now
I am crying now

Song Description
"The Illusion" is a haunting classical rock track that explores lost faith, blind devotion, and the atrocities committed in the name of religion. Layered within the music is a powerful moment in history—the inclusion of Ronald Reagan’s 1987 speech to the United Nations General Assembly, where he famously suggested that humanity’s divisions might vanish if faced with an alien threat from beyond this world.

Originally written in 2014, The Illusion first appeared on my debut album Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams. This 2025 release is a brand-new AI reimagining of that version, breathing cinematic new life into the original while keeping its spirit intact. Thunderous guitars, sweeping orchestration, and raw emotion collide in a track that challenges belief, confronts hypocrisy, and searches for universal truth.

THE ILLUSTION

[Verse 1]
I've been lost in emotion
I've sailed the seven seas
Searching for reasons
The good book is not what it seems

[Verse 2]
I see it in the distance
Like water on the sand
So tired and weary
It's all I can do just to stand

[Pre-Chorus]
With time
I have come to realize
It's all a dream
Mirage
In the desert of my life
Is all that this came to be
So, 

[Chorus]
Take all your time
If God's on your side
Justify all that you've done
Devoid of feeling
Closed to reason
Closed to love
Can't you see this
All that you do
For your God

[Verse 3]
I've been to the edge and now I've seen the truth
We've sacrificed freedom, we've sacrificed good
We're living this lie
I'll teach you to see the new light

[Verse 4]
The things that you do
In the name of the one
I question your reason
I laugh at your song
You dance to their tune
You are so blind to this wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
If God
Is the thing you use to justify the need
You'll find
Nothing more than dark
When you fall asleep
So, 

[Chorus]
Take all your time
If God's on your side
Justify all that you've done
Devoid of feeling
Closed to reason
Closed to love
Can't you see this
All that you do
For your God

[Written by Ronald Regan]
In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.

[Outro Chorus]
So, take all your time
If God's on your side
Justify all that you've done
Devoid of feelings
Closed to reason
Closed to love
Can't you see this
All that you do
For your God

The Illusion

⚡ The Power – Alexander Walker & Amanda Sweet
A song about strength, love, and the spark that ignites between two souls who refuse to be controlled. Their voices collide like thunder and light, fusing passion and destiny into one anthem.

I am power

“A Child’s War” The original 2003 composition by Dean R. Chandler is a haunting cinematic ballad that captures the horror, heartbreak, and humanity found within the chaos of conflict. Originally composed as part of Human Odyssey, it tells the story of a man torn between survival and despair — a father haunted by the cries of his son and the memory of his wife as war consumes everything around him.

Through powerful orchestration, emotional vocals, and vivid storytelling, the song explores the innocence lost in war, the spiritual battle between faith and fear, and the desperate plea for peace in a world gone mad.

This is a rather different AI take on the track for 2025. This would have worked well in my Cold Jack set in 1994/95. 

This is not just a song — it’s a cinematic journey through the eyes of those who never chose to fight, but must. A tribute to the fallen, the forgotten, and the survivors who still carry the sound of their children’s cries.

A CHILD'S WAR 

[Verse 1]
I cry, without explanation
I hear her voice in my head
I smell the perfume that she wears
My son cries in his bed
Death will surround me
Sacrificed blood spills around me

[Chorus]
I've never had a reason to fight for my life
I've never had a reason 'til now
Guns sound around me as I fall to the ground
I pray for an end to this, I don't want to die
Because my son cries at night
And I have tears from my wife
Oh, I must survive

[Verse 2]
I've seen, a man with no reason
Take the, life of a child
So young, so lost and discouraged
No home or hand to hold tight
Abandoned and lonely
I'm finding this action unholy

[Chorus]
I've never had a reason to fight for my life
I've never had a reason 'til now
Guns sound around me as I fall to the ground
I pray for an end to this, I don't want to die
Because my son cries at night
And I have tears from my wife
Oh, I must survive

[Verse 3]
This is a child's war
No man can win
No explanation hides this sin
Save me
Save my child's heart

[Chorus]
I've never had a reason to fight for my life
I've never had a reason 'til now
Gun sound around me as I fall to the ground
I pray for an end to this, I don't want to die
Because my son cries at night
And I have tears from my wife
Oh, I must survive

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Give, me a reason
And send me your heart
Send all of your angels
To end this holy war

{Verse 5]
Fall from the red sky
And wipe all the tears
Take all our anger
And banish all fear
Give me a sign
Send us your son
It's time

[Chorus outro]
I've never had a reason to fight for my life
I've never had a reason 'til now
Guns sound around me as I fall to the ground
I pray for an end to this, I don't want to die
Because my son cries at night
And I have tears from my wife
And so I'll fight for my life

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.
