Doro was born in Düsseldorf, NRW, West Germany on 3 June 1964, as the only child of Walter, a truck driver, and Barbara Pesch. Doro's first memory of rock music is the song "Lucille" by Little Richard, which she sang when she was three years old. She learned to play piano and started singing at the age of ten years, when she was exposed to the glam rock of bands like T. Rex, The Sweet and Slade. In 1980, she was accepted in her first band called Snakebite, which was playing rock music in a Düsseldorf basement used as rehearsal space by many other underground groups. The first recording with Doro on vocals was a cheap 7-track demo released by Snakebite for promotion. When Snakebite disbanded in 1981, Doro went on to sing for the garage bands Beast and Attack, before forming Warlock with Peter Szigeti, Rudy Graf, Thomas Studier, and Michael Eurich in 1982
After Warlock underwent many personnel changes, Pesch was the only remaining original member of the band. After changing her record label, she released in 1989 the fifth album as Doro, as the former label owned the trademark on the Warlock name.
Pesch now pursues a solo career and lives in New York City. 2004 album Classic Diamonds was a collaboration with The Classic Night Orchestra which reworked some of her earlier songs. Fear No Evil released in 2009 saw a brief return to the US and currently touring Europe celebrating 25 Years in Rock with a full fledged DVD out on Nuclear Blast.
She released her first album in six years, Forever Warriors - Forever United, on 17 August 2018, entering in many charts worldwide.

It Still Hurts
Doro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over promises we keep
It still hurts, I still bleed
Over promises we keep
It still hurts, I still weep
Over promises we keep
It still hurts, I still bleed
Will stay forever
Do you know
What happened to me?
After we threw it all away
Yeah, everyday I drowned in sorrow
And just in case you want know
If I can feel the pain
It still hurts, I still weep
Over promises we keep
It still hurts, I still bleed
Over promises we keep
It still hurts, I still weep
Over promises we keep
It still hurts, I still bleed
And the promise that we keep
Will stay forever
I try to go on
But man it took a long time
I through that your fate
Would never change
But somewhere you were
Changing your mind
And every day I feel the pain
Driving me insane
In this emotional ballad by Doro, the lyrics convey the pain and sorrow of a broken promise that still haunts the singer. Doro laments over the promises that were made between two people and the pain that still remains even after they have been broken.

The lines "And the promise that we keep, Will stay forever" conveys this idea that even though the promise has been broken, it's still there, haunting the singer.
Doro continues to sing about how the pain has affected her and how it has taken her a long time to move on. The lyrics "I try to go on, But man it took a long time" portrays the idea that healing takes time and it cannot be rushed. The singer remembers the days when she drowned in sorrow, and the pain is still present, driving her insane even after all these years.
Overall, the song conveys the message of how promises can leave deep emotional wounds that don't heal easily, and how broken promises can linger in one's mind, causing pain and grief for a long time.
