Kerri 'Kaoz' Chandler, one of deep House Music's originators, is known for his deep house electronic music. Kerri's influences can be traced back to New Jersey growing up in a family of jazz musicians. His father was a DJ and provided Kerri with a rich background in the origins of soul, disco and the New York Underground Sound. Accompanying his father to the gigs, Kerri began playing records at the Rally Racquet Club in East Orange, New Jersey at the age of thirteen. Exposed to such musical creativity, it wasn't long before Kerri found himself interested in production. Since the release of his first single "SuperLover/Get It Off" on Atlantic Records in 1991, Kerri has made many releases.
According to some unknown source, Kerri prays before making a record. His music contains breakbeats and many syncopations. Kerri contributes to the genre of soulful house and did not experience much commercial success. He is the founder of the house-music label Madhouse Records (not to be confused with Dave Kelly's reggae label of the same name).
well now okay, you want to run me out, run me down
But i heard, you're concerned
Baby that you going down
Gettin' down while I'm gonna roll out of town
Rumors flyin', people lyin'
I'm just tryin', tryin' to keep my head up off the
ground
Oh yeah
It's getting harder and harder
I check my pride but you runnin' high
With some other guy and I'm about to die
Tellin' lies, runnin' and cheatin'
And doin' what you please
And no one was surprised
The only thing you need me for is the money
And now I'm so damn confused
Cause even though I paid my dues
Ain't no matter what I do I'm gonna lose
Cause you stone me, stone me, stone me
And now we known each other so long
How we're goin' on and on
I wish I was never gonna be alone
So long, I was dead wrong
Cause you're moving on with your life
Left me in your past, you're past
You're with some other guy
You used to make me high
But now you just stone me
I thought we was in love and now you say
You rollin' holy, left me living lonely
Mmm, what about our son
You have your own child
What you wanna run around
Baby you a wild child
Play on, play on
She get to play on, play on
Then you come a runnin' back
Workin' hard, all alone, too late
Baby I am solo
You hurt me so bad, it took me so long to rise
But baby I survived
Now I don't even wanna see your eyes
You stone me
You hurt me so bad, it took me so long to rise
But baby I survived
Now I don't even wanna see your eyes
(Alvin Lee)
Stone me, stone me - see if I care,
It won't get you no-where.
Stone me, stone me, I am free.
I can't deny - I am high;
High on my own, out of this zone.
And I can't cry no more, I been down on the floor.
Stone me, stone me, straight down the road,
Carry your load.
Ride on, ride on, I am strong.
I can't explain, I feel no pain;
Feeling so strong, I just keep going on.
(Frantz/McGee)
Such pain to be so loved
Such grief to have such joy
And what comes now?
Laugh or tear
Now when your eyes meet mine
Should I have this fear
And now...
Where do I go?
Nameless
I'm standing here
Nameless
With all my fear
Nameless
And now who am I
A pawn of this game
And what comes now?
Rage or fear
And when I feel your touch
Oh how you kill me dear
And now...
Where do I go?
Nameless
I'm standing here
Nameless
With all my fear
Nameless
One breath
One touch
One glance
One love
Now when I go home
Will you be waiting there
And what comes now?
Far or near
And am I in your dreams
With thoughts devoid of cheer
And now...
Where do I go?
Nameless
I'm standing here
Nameless
With all my fear
