-------------------------------------------
1) Headstrong is a Canadian alternative metal band formed in 1998. They released one eponymous studio album under RCA Records before being dropped from the label and ultimately disbanding in 2003. The band members all met while attending University of Western Ontario where they each a received a degree. Their group initially began in the late 1990s under the name bomb32 in their native London, Ontario. Comparable to acts such as 311, Stone Temple Pilots, and Helmet, they used the popular of Farmclub to promote their music.
The strength of their first single, "All of the Above," earned Headstrong over a million votes from fans of the television show's site. They became Farmclub's first international guest and were granted a performance at LA's Farmclub stage in the summer of 2000. While there, they shared the stage with the likes of Kid Rock and Eminem and caught the attention of David Bendeth, senior vice-president of A&R, who signed them afterwards.[1] Headstrong then made their live United States debut at the CMJ Music Marathon on October 12 at Don Hills, New York.
Thanks to their booking agents S.L. Feldman & Associates, Headstrong then embarked on a Canadian tour with fellow Canadians Flybanger starting in November 2001.[2] On February 19, 2002, they released their self-titled debut under RCA. Headstrong managed to find success with its single "Adriana," which reached #15 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and had a music video. However, problems began erupting within the following months.
In late July, Headstrong was pulled from touring with Tommy Lee in a decision reportedly made by RCA to end the band's tour support. By this time, Headstrong had also been believed to be writing and demoing new material which would possibly be showcased in their forthcoming fall concerts. However, in August, a mere six months after their debut album's release, Headstrong was dropped by RCA.[3]
The following year in late April, Headstrong decided to split up, citing disillusionment with the record label as one reason.
2) Don Jackson (Headstrong) is a English electronic music producer, song writer and musician. He has worked with several of the top vocal trance singers including Kirsty Hawkshaw, Andrea Britton, and Tiff Lacey.
The music produced is released under the Headstrong alias and is featured on many compilation albums including Nightmusic Volume 2 (2007) and The DJ 3 in the Mix (2006). Jackson befriended music producer and label owner Matt Darey, and has since been working with Darey's label Darey Products.

Love Until It Hurts
Headstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love until you feel
Sadness in your heart,
Sorrow you must heal
Love until it hurts,
Love until you find
All that's left to give,
Is everything you live, for
Love until you bleed
When you know it's real,
Love is all you feel
Love until the stars,
Are dancing in the sky
Lighting up your life,
Showing where the truth, lies
Love until it hurt
Love until it hurts,
Love until it breaks
The emptiness you fear,
Decisions that you make, clear
Love until it hurts,
Love until you free
Memories of the past,
no longer meant to be, here
The lyrics of Headstrong's Love Until It Hurts explore the idea of the power of love and the lengths we go to for its sake. The opening line, "Love until it hurts," suggests that love is not always easy, but it is worth persevering through the pain. The second line, "Love until you feel sadness in your heart, sorrow you must heal," highlights the idea that love can bring both joy and pain, and that the latter is an inevitable part of the journey. The subsequent lines offer further insights into this idea, suggesting that love can be all-consuming, and that it may involve sacrifices, both in terms of emotions and tangible things.
The lyrics also suggest that love can help us find our purpose and meaning in life. The line "Love until you find all that's left to give, is everything you live for" implies that love can be a driving force that gives us direction and motivation. The song suggests that love is a powerful emotion that can bring light to our lives by lighting up the stars and showing us where the truth lies. However, the song also acknowledges that love can be a painful experience that can leave us feeling broken and lost. Nevertheless, the lyrics suggest that we should continue to love until we are free from the memories of the past and can move on to a better future.
