Headstrong from Cruel Child by Viking Moses
Viking Moses embraces stripped-down raw delivery with textural accompaniments and catchy hooks in "Headstrong", a dark-yet-lovey-dovey pop song. The lyrics playfully debate the lifespan of love at the expense of the disappointed. The cover art represents mythical hunter Actaeon, who upon seeing goddess Diana bathing with her nymphs is transformed into a stag and eaten by his own hunting dogs. Viking Moses joins Ovid and Shakespeare in millennia-long commentary that cries out to cuckolds.

Lyrics
You said love is dead and gone. Now we're going at it headstrong. We laughed and fought about it all day long, and judging by your attitude, I can learn a lot from you.
And you say I got to know how to get it, and you say I got to know when to fly. But I don't let nobody tell me nothin’, forget it, cause it's love, it's never gonna die.
When her heart tipped the scale to the feather, it took all the fun out of the game, and we both know you could've had her but you let her get away, I think about this every day, it's probably better anyway.
Cause they say"you'll never know when you'll get it", and they say "you never know when it'll die." But I don't let nobody tell me nothin’, forget it, I said this was love, now, didn't I?
You told me I could go where I wanted to, and since these words fell, you never were the same. To think that anyone could ever change you...
Now you say one of these days I'm gonna get it, yeh you say, "one day the shit is gonna fly!" But I don't let nobody tell me nothin’, forget it, cause it's love, it's never gonna die.
