Backstory:
Constant Deck is a group of four friends who met while studying at Boston University. Their shared love for music and jam sessions sparked the birth of Constant Deck. Peter Jackson (lead vocalist and guitarist), Donna Williams (bass guitarist), Ricky Jones (drummer), and Lily Adams (keyboardist and backup vocalist) decided to take their passion beyond the dorm rooms, and in 2014, Constant Deck was formed. They started by performing in small gigs around the city, and their unique sound and chemistry quickly caught the attention of music lovers across Boston. The name ‘Constant Deck’ was inspired by the belief that life, like a deck of cards, is full of unpredictable hands, and the aim is to play the best game possible with the hand you’re dealt.

Genre:
Constant Deck’s music can be classified as Indie Rock with a fusion of Pop.

Title:
“Shuffled Hearts”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G]I was a King of Hearts in a deck that’s full,
[D]Found my queen but the draw was cruel.
[Em]I gambled, oh I gambled, in this game of love,
[C]But the dealer’s hand was just too rough.

(Chorus)
[G]Shuffled hearts, [D]dealing parts,
[Em]In a game that’s always new.
[C]In the constant deck of life, my dear,
[G]I’d always bet on you.

(Verse 2)
[G]I was a Joker, in a hand that’s weak,
[D]Playing bluff, while my heart would leak.
[Em]In the game of hearts, where we’re all just players,
[C]Sometimes love, it just betrays us.

(Chorus)
[G]Shuffled hearts, [D]torn apart,
[Em]In a game that’s never through,
[C]In the constant deck of life, my dear,
[G]I’d always lose to you.

(Outro)
[G]So here’s to the players, and the dealers too,
[D]In this constant deck, may your hand be true.
[Em]May your hearts be full, and your diamonds shine,
[C]In this game of life, may luck be thine.
