“Bleeding Desire” is a work in progress — a heavy, cinematic rock track burning with fire and atmosphere. The music’s raw power and emotion are there, but I’ll be rewriting the lyrics. A new version will be unleashed soon.

BLEEDING DESIRE

Verse 1
I reach for your shadow, but you’re never there,
A ghost in the silence, a wound I can’t repair.
The fire keeps burning, though it cuts me deep,
I’m chained to a promise, I can’t ever keep.

Chorus
Bleeding desire, tearing me apart,
A storm in my veins, a war in my heart.
Forever forbidden, yet I can’t let go,
I bleed for a love I’m not meant to know.

Verse 2
Your eyes are the dagger that won’t release,
Your touch is the hunger, that denies me peace.
Every step closer, I fall through the flame,
But I’d walk through the ashes to whisper your name.

Chorus
Bleeding desire, tearing me apart,
A storm in my veins, a war in my heart.
Forever forbidden, yet I can’t let go,
I bleed for a love I’m not meant to know.

Bridge
Can’t kill the fire, can’t break the chain,
I drown in silence, I burn in the rain.
Your absence is poison, your memory a blade,
I’d die just to feel what can’t be made.

Final Chorus
Bleeding desire, tearing me apart,
A storm in my veins, a war in my heart.
Forever forbidden, yet I can’t let go,
I bleed for a love I’m not meant to know.

Bleeding.....

My Bleeding Desire

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.
