Ferrer’s interest in production and dance first led him into the world of early 90’s electronic music. After a number of years working with the critically acclaimed Synewave label from New York, he connected with Kerri Chandler who re-introduced him to the soul and funk of music from his youth via House. Ferrer’s love of such artists as T-Connection, DJ Rodgers, early Herbie Hancock, early Cameo and Confunkshun finally found ways to surface in his music. Chandler instantly recognized Ferrer’s talent for production and business sense and together they formed Sfere Recordings in 1998 (Sfere being a name derived from Chandler’s Shelter / Ibadan classic “Atmosphere” combined with Ferrer’s old techno alias “Aurasphere”). The label was devised with the ambitions of exploring many different aspects of soulful house including Brazilian, Gospel and Jazz sounds. The emphasis at Sfere is clearly, however, focused on songs since both partners believe in the timelessness of a great song.
Ferrer’s DJ career runs in tangent with his increased visibility as a producer and his creative reach covers five continents. December 2003 saw his return to South Africa for a Heineken sponsored series of events alongside UK DJ powerhouse, Pete Tong. He has traveled to multiple European markets and played with regularity in many of the major venues in countries such as the UK (MOS, Soul Heaven, Back To Basics, Ultragroove, Angel Deelite, Neighbourhood), France (Cheers, Sunslice Festival, L’Ambassade, La Noche Festival, Queen), Scandinavia (Hultsfred Festival, Jeriko), Benulux (Pizzaz!), Russia (Propaganda), Greece (Balux), Italy (Red Zone), Japan (Module) and S. E. Asia (Club Ohm and Rouge). In North America he has crossed the continent with performances in NYC, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, LA, Toronto and Montreal.
Church Lady
Dennis Ferrer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cos Glory Halleluiah, ain't enough for her wrongs ,
Church Lady, can she borrow some time,
Cos she needs to sit down and reflect on her behind.
She can't see the forest for the trees,
She got a child who's only three,
And no child is deserving
Of an open door policy
Church Lady, can you talk her some sense,
She may be a friend of mine,
But her values are worth two cents.
I've tried my point of view,
All of her friends have tried it too,
So Church Lady, sing her that song, sing her that song.
Glory, (Halleluiah) Halleluiah,
Let them show you the way
(Let 'em show you the way)
Glory, (Halleluiah) Halleluiah,
Cos That's already been paved
(Already been paved)
Glory, (Halleluiah) Halleluiah,
(Let them show you)
Let them show you the way
(Ya-hay-ya-hay)
Glory, (Halleluiah) Halleluiah,
Cos That's already been paved
(Mm)
Church Lady, can you save her a prayer,
She ain't been home since last night,
And she's got us runnin scared.
Church Lady, do you have this emergency light
(Yes I do)
She needs to be safe from herself,
She's got her own way to find.
She can't see the forest for the trees,
She got a child who's only three,
She's got her head in the clouds,
Holding on to some fantasy.
Church Lady, you better find her a hymn,
She's going down that road,
She'll be early seeing Him.
I've tried my point of view,
All of her friends tried it too,
So Church Lady, sing her that song, sing her that song.
Glory, (Halleluiah) Halleluiah,
Let show them you the way
(Let 'em show you the way)
Glory, (Glory) Halleluiah,
Cos That's already been paved
(Already been paved)
Glory, (Halleluiah) Halleluiah,
(Let them show you)
Let them show you the way
(Ya-hay-ya-hay)
Glory, (Halleluiah) Halleluiah,
Cos That's already been paved
(Ya-ya-ya)
Halleluiah, it's paved.
I tried my point of view,
All of her friends tried it too
So Church Lady, sing her that song, sing her that song.
Sing her that song, sing her that song
The song "Church Lady" by Dennis Ferrer describes a woman who is lost and needs guidance. The person singing asks the Church Lady to help her find her way through a difficult situation. The woman is described as not being able to see the forest for the trees, and that she has a child who is only three years old. She is not deserving of an open door policy because she needs to sit down and reflect on her behind. The person singing has tried to talk to her about her situation, but all of her friends have tried it too. The Church Lady is asked to sing her a song, as Glory Halleluiah is not enough for her wrongs.
