Forty Deuce는 2003년, 저 유명한 Hollywood Hills Party House에서의 파티 이후에 결성되었다. 무절제를 향한 열정을 원동력으로 가동하고 있는 Forty Deuce는 결성되는 순간부터 새로운 곡들을 써나가기 시작했는데, 이렇게 처음 완성된 곡이 바로 "This Ain’t Heaven" 이다.
Forty Deuce의 "삶을 그냥 허비하지 말자"는 낙관적인 태도는 가장 원색적인 형태로 강렬하게 퍼져나가게 되었는데 이들의 요란한 라이프 스타일과 화려한 패션 그리고 다양한 민족들의 영향을 고스란히 담은 사운드는 이들을 문화를 초월한 매력을 창출하게 되었다.
라인 업에는 괴물 기타리스트이자 보컬 Richie Kotzen (Mr.Big, Poison), 일본인 기타리스트 Taka, 베이스 Ari, Thr3e를 드러머가 참여하고 있으며 재빨리 Los Angeles 클럽 씬 에서 자기 멋대로 해나가는 반항적인 록앤롤로 주목을 얻은 이들은 끊임없는 공연을 통해 매진 사례를 기록하며 자신들의 명성을 전설적인 Phoenix의 KUPD 디렉터, Larry McFeelie에게 까지 전할 수 있게 되었다. 그는 Forty Deuce를 가리켜 한마디로 "정말 죽여주는 밴드다!"라는 찬사를 아끼지 않았다.
"정말 믿기 어려울 정도로 훌륭한 곡들이다! Richie의 목소리는 정말 대단하다!" - Guitar Player
"Ari는 이들의 멜로디한 스타일과 본능적인 힘에 우레와 같이 낮은 베이스로 그루브 함을 더하고 있다!" - LA Weekly
"교토 출신 기타리스트 Taka는 파괴적이면서도 공격적인 코러스 라인에 성숙한 멜로디를 뒤섞어 주고 있다!" ? Hit
"Thr3e는 자신만의 거대한 사운드를 창조적인 독창성에 포함시켜주고 있다!" - All Access .... ....
Don’t try to make me what I don’t wanna be This is my life and I will do what I please You say my fate is hopeless, You say I have no focus
The more I suffocate the more I can see My bedroom walls are closing on me As my life passes before me I know I am living but this life ain’t for me
And I still forever wanna get away And I will show you that you are wrong And I still believe there's another way And I will show you that you are wrong You know that I will
You come to me with all your visions of hope You say I let you down so leave me alone You got your hands on my neck My strength is more than you expect The more I suffocate the more I am free
The more I suffocate the more I can see My bedroom walls are closing on me As my life passes before me I know I am living but this life ain’t for me
And I still forever wanna get away And I will show you that you are wrong And I still believe there's another way And I will show you that you are wrong You know that I will
I do a little bit and try to quit but damage done I'm too far gone I’m doing everything I wanna do So how you gonna tell me it’s wrong?
From the tip of my toes to the rush sent to my head It’s a feeling I know I’ll never feel again
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go Start it up, start it up till your body says no! Start it up, start it up start it up let it go Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
I am unaffected for a second but the second goes on too long I feel neglected and rejected but then suddenly I fell so strong And I can’t get away from myself long enough to be saved So I take what you give and you tell me I am ok
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go Start it up, start it up till your body says no! Start it up, start it up start it up let it go Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
So I take what you give and you tell me I am ok
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go Start it up, start it up till your body says no! Start it up, start it up start it up let it go Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
It's all the little things It's everything you are and you're gone, it makes me crazy
Youre sticking to my heart and I am out of mind I want to know your pulse is racing I think I like it I think I need it
I think I like it, I think I need it You know you're everything I want You know you're everything I need I think I like it, I think I need it
Say you want me, say you need me Say I'm what you're looking for Say you love me, say you leave me Make me want you even more I wanna feel, I wanna feel like I've never felt before I know know, I know, tell me what I'm looking for
When you're all alone, do you think of me? Is it real or are we faking? I watch you come and go I know you're somewhere else I can watch but I can't chase it
I think I like it, I think I need it I know you're everything I want You know you're everything to me I think I like it, I think I need it
Say you want me, say you need me Say I'm what you're looking for Say you'd love me, say you leave me Make me want you even more I wanna feel, I wanna feel like I've never felt before I know know, I know, tell me what I'm looking for
I could be the answer to the questions that you ask in your mind I could be the reason why you feel what you feel in your heart I will give you time tell me what you wanna fell You should know my kind
I aint no angel one look in my eyes and you know: this aint heaven I will give you happiness Ill tell you lies but you know this aint heaven
You may think the sun will rise and change my point of view but you're wrong You can paint a picture of your perfect kind of life when I'm gone When I'm gone
I aint no angel one look in my eyes and you know: this aint heaven I will give you happiness Ill tell you lies but you know this aint heaven
I will give you time Tell me what you wanna feel You should know my kind I aint no angel one look in my eyes and you know: this aint heaven Ill give you happiness Ill tell you lies but you know this aint heaven
Nobody said that it was easy Nobody said that this is how it should be I wanna be, I wanna dream, I wanna see what we are missing Every step you take, I'll walk you through it Every when you breake, I put it back together
If they wanna throw you to the ground If they try to kick you when your down Even if there's no one else around I'll stand up, stand up for you Always you and me, never gonna stop what we believe Even if the world is on its knees I will sand up I'll stand up, stand up for you
I know your past has made you cautions You know our future is more that you can see But I believe, I believe we can kick the door wide open Every step you take, I'm walking through it Even when you breake, I put it back together
If they wanna throw you to the ground If they try to kick you when your down Even if there’s no one else around I will sand up I will stand up for you Always you and me never gonna stop what we believe Even if the world is on it’s knees I will sand up I will stand up for you
We can turn this thing all around We can make it with the hand untight I'll stand up, stand up.
If they wanna throw you to the ground If they try to kick you when your down Even if there’s no one else around I will sand up I will stand up for you Always you and me never gonna stop what we believe Even if the world is on it’s knees I will sand up I will stand up for you
Anything you want, anything you need Anything that you want me to be I will be the one who will stand up for you, stand up for you.
Conversations all the same I aint gonna play no fuking games Deep inside I wanna change But I know Ill always walk away
If I tell you everything, will you tell me what you fear? When I tell you what I feel, will you tell me what is real? Im nothing that youve seen before I am free, I'm gonna be all that you see When you wake up next to me And when you dream who will you be, when you wake up next to me?
Smoking drinking gasoline I am everything you want to me Got nine lives I have wasted five but I know that time is on my side
If I tell you everything, will you tell me what you fear? When I tell you what I feel, will you tell me what is real? Im nothing that youve seen before I am free, I'm gonna be all that you see When you wake up next to me And when you dream who will you be, when you wake up next to me?
U gave me your word and then walked away And i tried to play along Youre such a tragic lust fantasy And you keep me hanging on Killing all my enemies in the end its you and me Youre acting like youre scared of me You know im not the enemy
Standing in the rain by myself got me suicidal And i wonder where did i go wrong Standing in the rain I know i am lying to myself and still i wonder Where did i go wrong?
You got me tangled in your web And ill never get away I still remember what you said Do you remember what you said?
Killing all my enemies In the end its you and me You are acting like your scared of me You know i am not the enemy (time for us to get away)
I pick up the telephone and I hear about all that you have done I turn on my television and see what you have become I could say that I'm happy for you, but I I wanna know...
How does it feel when you're wanted? Do you fight it all that let it go to your head? How does it feel when you're famous? Is it happiness or isn't it in your head?
I look at theses broken pieces And feel the distance between us I've got all our old pictures, they are faded But they still have meaning How can you forget your past so easy? I remember mine...
How does it feel when you're wanted? Do you fight it all that echo to your head? How does it feel when you're famous? Is it happiness or is it in your head?
Do you remember our first trip to LA? Do you remember the things we used to say? It seems to me that you're happier alone
How does it feel when you're wanted? Do you fight it all that echo to your head? How does it feel when you're famous? Is it happiness or is it in your head?
Oh, you're wanted, tell me how it feels. Oh, you're wanted, I wanna know... Oh, you're so wanted, tell me how it feels.
You're the one in my mind And you walk through my dreams And as strange as it seems, you will never be a stranger to me.
I will abandon all the answers that I kept in my back pocket So give up your convictions and follow your heart for one night
Try to cancel you fear, forget why all you hear You know that this time, there's nothing to lose
Moving too fast Are you stuck in the past? No, you don't have to ask 'Cause you'll always be the answer to me
I will abandon all the answers that I kept in my back pocket So give up your convictions and follow your heart for one night
Try to cancel you fear, forget why all you hear You know that this time, there's nothing to lose Open your mind and show me the truth Look in my eyes, there's nothing to lose Nothing to lose
So you've tried before Now try again I'm asking you to let me in Ooh, nothing to lose
I will abandon all the answers I kept'em in my back pocket So give up your convictions and follow your heart for one night
Try to cancel you fear, forget why all you hear You know that this time, there's nothing to lose Open your mind and show me the truth Look in my eyes, there's nothing to lose Nothing to lose
