In the beginning Forty Deuce concentrated on performing live... numerous live performances preceded releasing "Nothing to Lose", which is the debut album of this group. Actually, FD was already formed in 2003 at an after hours party, joining Taka, a Tokyo native on guitar, Aro on bass and THR3E on drums. To give an impression of how passionate the members of this band are, one must point out the immediate songwriting process that followed the founding of this group. Musically Forty Deuce is a hard rock group that places a strong emphasis on chorus, and definitely has an edge to their sound. Their songs have good groove but also melodies are memorable.
The production on this album is somewhat harsh, which seems to suit this record well. Slight background distortion occurs few times, but it isn't too obtrusive. Since the sounds have raw power to them, the mix complements the music quite seamlessly. All in all, Forty Deuce is a group to be aware of.

Forty Deuce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's everything you are
and you're gone, it makes me crazy
You’re sticking to my heart and I am out of mind
I wan’t to know your pulse is racing
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
The lyrics of "Say" by Forty Deuce convey the singer's desire for someone who he considers to be everything he wants and needs, but who is not present in his life, making him feel crazy. He wishes to know if this person feels the same way about him, wondering if their connection is real or just a facade. The singer yearns for this person to say out loud that they want him, need him, and love him, even if they ultimately decide to leave him. He wants to feel something new and intense that he has never experienced before, but he is uncertain about what exactly he is searching for.
The song captures the essence of longing and the fear of rejection that often accompanies it. The singer craves validation from the person he has deep feelings for, hoping that they will reciprocate his emotions. The lyrics imply some level of hesitation on the part of the object of the singer's affection, suggesting that they may be unsure of their true feelings or unwilling to take a chance on a relationship. Overall, the song is an expression of the complexity and uncertainty of romantic relationships, particularly when one party is more invested than the other.
