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.
Touched the Sky
Dennis Ferrer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep falling to your ocean's floor
To rescue all the reasons
Though they drift away
Whenever I call
Guess this makes me feel
Like I've been so wrong
That I'd be singing this song
I know that things are what they tend to be
As time brings out that all seeing eye
Now I've lived and I've learned
To hate what you loved
You had me touch the sky
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
I've touched the sky, sky, sky, sky
I've touched the sky
I've touched the sky, sky, sky, sky
I've touched the sky
I fell deeper and deeper
Through that open well that is your name
Losing count of all the drownings
Do you even understand the pain
You know this makes me feel
Like I've been so wrong
How could I believe
That I'd be singing this song
I know that things are what they tend to be
As time brings out that all seeing eye
Now I've lived and I've learned
To hate what you loved
You had me touch the sky
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
I've touched the sky because of you
Though the sun melts my wings
I've touched the sky because of you
It's changed my view of things
