" Biography
Avant-Garde, mystical, and magical are just some of the ways her fans describe KERLI’s music. As Estonia’s most successful music export, this unique artist has defied genre and created a musical world all her own; an eclectic style, drawing on a wide range of influences such as electronic, pop, goth, and experimental.
Her debut album, "Love Is Dead", in 2008 which charted on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Walking on Air," was featured as the iTunes single of the week where it was downloaded over 500,000 times, a record at that time.
Her 2nd album Utopia also charted on Billboard 200. Singles "Army of Love", Zero Gravity", and "The Lucky Ones" entered the top 10 Billboard Hot Dance, two of them peaking at number 1. A song co-written by KERLI for Utopia, "Skyscraper" was recorded by Demi Lovato and become one of Demi’s biggest hits.
In 2016, she released 3 independent singles, while teaming up with the government of Estonia to art direct a tourism campaign designed to promote the otherworldly nature of her country.
Spending most of her creative time in the deep forests of Estonia, KERLI’s evolution as an artist has paralleled her curiosity as a human, exploring the relationship between nature, mysticism, and technology. All of which will be part of her most diverse and eclectic body of work on an upcoming album, titled ‘Shadow Works’, set to release in Feb 2019 on MrSuicideSheep's imprint Seeking Blue"
Many new worlds and characters will be revealed in 2023, starting with a dangerously cute realm of a pink robot named Joy, here to make a big colorful splash on the apocalypse-stricken planet Earth.

Kerli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And rain or shine, I'm standing tall
No, I won't be there tonight
No, but I will be by your side
All the way
All the way
We journey once, then no more never
No, I don't want an eternal life
No, just let me be by your side
All the way
All the way
And don't bring me moons and stars
The sun or mars
Just hold me baby
And don't let me slip away
Just make me stay
I need you
All the way
All the way
All the way
Don't bring me moons and stars
The sun or mars
Just hold me baby
And don't let me slip away
Just make me stay
I need you
All the way
Kerli's song All the Way is a beautiful love song that celebrates the idea of staying together with a loved one through thick and thin. The lyrics of the song express the singer's steadfast determination to remain loyal to her love, come what may. She is not afraid to face challenges or difficulties, as long as she has her partner by her side. Even though she cannot be with her love tonight, she will always be there in spirit, and that's all that matters to her. The chorus of the song, "All the way / All the way", is a declaration of her commitment to her partner, and her pledge to go the distance with him.
The second verse of the song acknowledges the impermanence of life, and the fleeting nature of all things. Kerli knows that nothing lasts forever, and that we only get one shot at life. Therefore, she doesn't desire an eternal life or an afterlife, but simply wants to be with her love for as long as possible. The third verse of the song speaks to the deep emotional connection between the singer and her partner. She doesn't need grand gestures or celestial bodies to feel loved - all she wants is to be held by her love, and to never let her slip away. The final chorus of the song is a reiteration of the singer's commitment to her partner, and her desperate plea for him to stay with her.
Overall, Kerli's song All the Way is a tender and heartfelt ballad about the power of love to transcend time and space. It is an ode to those who stand by their partners through thick and thin, and a tribute to the enduring nature of human connection.

Sometimes it feels strange to be part of the moonchildren. It seems like I'm alone, the only person who gets it at times, but then I'm reminded that no only is there Kerli but a whole universe of moonsiblings who probably get this lonely at times and because of that fact, I'm not alone. It's crazy but in a good way...
@alexanderdixon2703
