[歌詞]
静かな夜に漂う
The rhythm whispers in my soul
心の奥で揺れる
A gentle touch makes me whole

繋がる光　君と私
(ah yeah)
Voices unite, no disguise

Carry me higher, 夢を抱いて
Dancing together, feel the flame
時を越えて　響き合う
In every heartbeat, call my name

You know the way, you feel my sound
心で重ねる harmony
Step by step, we’re turning round
言葉より強い gravity

流れる光の街
Moving shadows side by side
胸の奥を焦がす
Music takes us for a ride

迷わず今を信じて
Let the groove carry you free

Carry me higher, 夢を抱いて
Dancing together, feel the flame
時を越えて　響き合う
In every heartbeat, call my name

ひそやかに響く鼓動
Don’t let it fade away
静寂の中で光る
The groove is here to stay

Carry me higher, 夢を抱いて
Dancing together, feel the flame
時を越えて　響き合う
In every heartbeat, call my name

Carry me higher (take me higher)
夢を抱いて (きっと永遠に)
Dancing together (we move forever)
Feel the flame

Ooh yeah, la la la
輝き続けて
Ohh together, 未来へ
The groove goes on, and on...

Essence of You

Song Description – “The Sacrifices”

The Sacrifices is a jazz-funk track with a groove that carries more than rhythm—it carries a story carved out of betrayal, broken trust, and the raw weight of human emotion. Written back in 1994 and inspired by a true story, the song reflects on a friendship tested and shattered when loyalty gave way to temptation. The lyrics cut like confessionals, detailing the pain of watching someone you trusted step into the arms of the one you loved.

First released in 2014 on my debut double album Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams, the track has always stood as one of the album’s most personal moments. Now, in 2025, The Sacrifices returns as an AI-reimagined version, built upon the 2014 recording but re-envisioned with fresh textures, sharper production, and a deeper cinematic edge.

This new release doesn’t erase the original—it amplifies it. The funk basslines still throb with tension, the rhythm still walks that line between bitterness and swagger, but the new AI production allows the track to breathe with the clarity and power it always deserved.

At its heart, The Sacrifices is about choices, regrets, and the cost of losing sight of what truly matters. It’s a story that began in the past but feels just as relevant today.

THE SACRIFICES

[Verse 1]
I heard a rumor
They say you are alone
No one to run to
No friends on the phone
So tell me

[Chorus]
What you gonna do now your love has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Verse 2]
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 listened like a friend should and helped me through it all
But I hear it through the grapevine, see you walking out her door

[Chorus]
So what you gonna do now your love has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
So how am I supposed to feel when I told you everything
When I see you drive up, then watch the bedroom lights go dim
So I hear you blame me, your friends are not around
I've put the knife right in your back and no one's to be found now

[Verse 4]
But don't go 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

[Pre-chorus]
You thought the grass was greener
You thought she'd make you smile
So tell me 

[Chorus]
What you gonna do now your love has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Chorus]
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Outro]
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong
(Yeah)

The Sacrifices

“Tender Touch” was originally written in 1993 and first released in 2014 on my debut album Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams. This new AI-powered funky jazz version brings the track back to life with fresh energy, heart, and soul.

Built on a smooth rhythm and infectious swing, it grooves with dancefloor drive while still carrying deep emotional weight. The verses unfold like a conversation — attraction denied, heartbreak endured, and the hope of love reborn. The pre-chorus lifts with classic funk-jazz flair, inviting connection: “Take my hand, don’t be alone tonight.”

The chorus locks into place with warmth and sincerity: “My tender touch can heal your pain, I’ll take away the loneliness still in your heart.” It’s uplifting, catchy, and carried by an irresistible rhythm section.

An instrumental break lets the music breathe — slick basslines, playful keys, and head-nodding beats — before the outro raises the energy like a live jam session at its peak.

This new cut of “Tender Touch” is more than a love song — it’s a celebration of resilience, romance, and groove. Funky, heartfelt, and perfect for anyone who loves their jazz with a soulful pulse.

TENDER TOUCH

[Verse 1]
When I first saw you, your eyes were filled with light
We had an instant attraction, but it had to be denied

[Verse 2]
You had another lover, I knew he was to be the one
But, he left you for another, now a man like that don't deserve another chance

[Pre-chorus]
I can make it right, (take my hand), don't be alone tonight

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

{Pre-chorus]
So many lonely nights, only you can make it right

[Chorus]
Your tender touch and your smiling face could take away the pain inside that lays still in my heart
Your tender touch and your smiling face could take away the pain inside that lays still in my heart

[Instrumental]

(Yeah, yeah)
(That's right)
(Your tender touch)
(Give it to me, yeah, yeah)
(And my tender touch)
(Give me a tender touch)
(Just a tender touch)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 4]
So wont 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

[Verse 5]
No more lonely nights
And no tears, it's just a love that's right

[Chorus]
My tender touch can heal your faith
I'll take away, the loneliness
That lays, still in your heart
My tender touch can heal your faith
And give you hope, I'll take your anger
No more tears in the heart

[Key change]

[Outro]
Yeah, your tender touch
That lays, still in my heart
Yeah, your tender touch
That lays, still in my heart

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.
