Previously more commonly known for his worldwide smash Herd & Fitz “I Just Can’t Get Enough”, Jason now joins the ranks alongside Laidback Luke, Fedde Le Grand and Axwell with his new direction of vocal, but big room house music. Forthcoming releases include top vocalists Lisa Millett, Steve Edwards and Roland Clarke, whilst his current xxx-rated track “My Girl” has reached anthemic levels and has been smashing dancefloors everywhere resulting in it being snapped up and due for a full commercial release in its clean version. Meanwhile his tech house/techno alter ego Juan Kidd has releases forthcoming on Toolroom and Azuli for those darker floors.
Jason is one of the UK’s most respected House DJs and has gained residencies at Gods Kitchen, Sankeys, Gatecrasher and has more recently added his name to the Warehouse Project line-up. Whilst house is his main genre, he often swings towards vocals or to the underground, depending on what the crowd are going for.

Herd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So try not to mislead her
You've done many foolish things
But deep inside you need her
Ooooh!
You've got to believe me, just open your mind
'Cause baby, though you know I'll never leave you
Never wanted to deceive you, although I do
But I don't want our lovin' to die
And I'm so tired of livin' a lie
Though I know I've been weak I can try
Yeah, I'll try
You've got to believe me, I mean what I say
I try not to wander when you go away
But, baby, though I never make advances
Seems there are no end of chances to go astray
But I don't want our lovin' to die
And I'm so tired of livin' a lie
Though I know I've been weak I can try
Yeah, I'll try
Only you can help yourself
So try not to mislead her
You've done many foolish things
But deep inside you need her
'Cause baby, don't you know I'll never leave you
Never wanted to deceive you, although I do
But I don't want our lovin' to die
And I'm so tired of livin' a lie
Though I know I've been weak I can try
Yeah, I'll try (I'll try)
No, I don't want our lovin' to die (Why, oh, why)
And I'm so tired of livin' a lie (No, no)

The lyrics of Herd's "I Don't Want Our Loving To Die" convey a sense of desperation and vulnerability in a relationship that is experiencing hardship. The first verse speaks to the idea that the only person who can truly help the singer is themselves - they cannot rely on others to fix their problems. Despite having made mistakes and acted foolishly, the singer recognizes the importance of their partner and the role they play in their life.
The chorus then emphasizes the desire to keep the love between them alive, despite the difficulties they are facing. The singer acknowledges their weaknesses and the temptation to stray, but ultimately they want to make things work and try to keep the relationship from ending. The repeated "yeah, I'll try" at the end is a statement of hope that they can overcome their obstacles.
The second verse expands on this theme, with the singer stating that they mean what they say and genuinely want to stay faithful to their partner. However, they admit that there are opportunities for them to cheat and that they struggle with this temptation. Despite this, they still hold onto the hope that they can make things work and keep their love alive.
Overall, the song is a plea to their partner to believe in them and to work together to overcome their troubles. It acknowledges the difficulties that come with relationships, but emphasizes the importance of trying to make things work and not giving up.

Just to add further, if Lesley you are interested and for your information, I actually do a lot of research into all genres of popular music and over the last few years the Sounds Of The 60s, which is probably the greatest and most defining decade of popular music here in Britain and worldwide.
The group The Herd formed in 1965, with guitarist & lead singer Peter Frampton with 3 others who after a short period consecutively resigned from the band. They were replaced by their most famous line up in terms of gastric juices to write songs and inventiveness. Fontana records their label teamed the group up with US producer, then former 1950s actor, DJ & record label owner Steve Rowland whom worked with numerous artists over the period including PJ Proby, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Pretty Things, Rodriguez and later on Boney M, The Cure, The Thompson Twins & Japan. In the earlier 1990s he tried signing a very young Spice Girl Geri Helliwell. In Fontana’s wisdom to influence the quality of the songs & sound of the band they also engaged the songwriters/producers Alan Blaikley & Ken Howard who wrote Have I The Right for The Honeycombs, & 13 of the 1960s hits for Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch including The Legend Of Xanadu both the last 2 songs were UK singles chart number 1s. Prior to the successful songwriting partnership they were in publishing producing articles relating to 1960s topics in the news media that concerned the public, some of them in touchy subject area’s then, and worked with Melvin Bragg and Ray Gosling among others.
The Herd’s most popular successful chart 7” songs were Paradise Lost from their 1968 album of the same name, From The Underworld & I Don’t Want Our Loving To Die, my personal favourite.
In late 1968, Peter Frampton left the band to join up with Steve Marriott to form rock band Humble Pie. Marriott had been part of the very successful group The Small Faces with Ronnie Lane, Kenny Jones & Ian McLagan. Later on in the early 1970s The Small Faces employed singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ronnie Wood who prior were tied up contracted to The Jeff Beck Group. Blues rock guitarist legend Jeff Beck who recently passed away in January this year. On joining The Small Faces they became Rod Stewart & The Small Faces or Faces. In fact sadly not only Jeff Beck but Ronnie Lane & Steve Marriott are now deceased.
The Herd had 2 periods of existence from 1965-69 & 1971 where they released 1 single after they reformed, not the original line up, however, they released 1 7” single song in 1971 that failed to chart.
When I talk of a legend, then something more outstanding would happen later on in the 1970s for the legendary guitarist and songwriter Peter Frampton as in 1976 he would go on to release one of the greatest and most popular double live LPs or albums of the time and possibly on an all time list called Frampton Comes Alive. There were several tremendous tracks on this double LP including the singles Frampton wrote Show Me The Way & Baby I Love Your Way.
The Original 1960s Herd were Peter Frampton, Andy Bown, Gary Taylor & Andrew Steele. Following the bands dissolve, Gary Taylor went on to DJ work, before briefly returning to The Herd in 1971 with Andrew Steele. Andrew Steel joined the band Steelers Wheel with Gerry Rafferty in the 70s. Frampton after Humble Pie went solo with his new band & Andy Bown bassist & keyboard player and vocalist in the late 1970s early 80s joined Status Quo with Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt. I believe Bown is still in that group today with the Scott Walker deep bass voice. Rick or Richard Parfitt died at Christmas 2016 around the time singer George Michael also sadly died.
Over The Herds career they had 4 drummers Andrew Steele over their most popular period from 67- late 68, Henri Spinetti 68-69, Mick Underwood 1966, Tony Chapman 1965-6.
I trust this information is of interest & informative.
