The Concretes began as a three member band with Victoria Bergsman, Maria Eriksson, and Lisa Milsberg, in 1995 in Stockholm. Since then they have picked up members, growing into an eight piece band. They also have a number of "Honorary Concretes" who play on their records.
One of their songs from their album The Concretes, Say Something New, has been featured on TV advertisements in the United States for Target.
Another of their songs "Chico", has been remixed by Australian electronic artists The Avalanches.
Maria Eriksson is also half the band Heikki, with guitarist Jari Haapalainen. They released their self-titled debut, a mini-cd, in Scandinavia in 2002. The follow-up, Heikki 2, appeared in 2004.
Group members:
Lisa Milberg – current lead vocalist, drums
Maria Eriksson – guitar, lead and backup vocals
Martin Hansson – bass, backup vocals
Ulrik Karlsson – horns, piano, backup vocals
Per Nyström – organ, backup vocals
Ludvig Rylander – horns, piano and backing vocals
Daniel Värjö – guitar, mandolin, backup vocals

An email to fans dated July 25th stated that Victoria has left the band to pursue a solo career. Surely this will change The Concretes sounds markedly, though the integrity that characterises their work is sure to remain whatever decision the band make.
Their 2010 album "WYWH," which received slightly less positive reviews, has turned out to be their last.

Did you hear me say now.
Love ain't far, well I done mine, done mine, done mine
Oh you can't hurry love.

The singer is telling the listener that love will come in its own time and that they shouldn't try to rush it or force it to happen. The lines "oh you can't hurry love" emphasizes this idea and suggest that love requires patience and a willingness to wait. The use of repetition in the line "done mine, done mine, done mine" emphasizes that the singer has already discovered this truth about love and wants the listener to understand it as well.
The lyrics to this song are both timeless and relevant. Many people in today's fast-paced world feel the need to rush into relationships, often without taking the time to get to know themselves and what they really want in a partner. This song is a reminder that love is something that can't be forced or rushed and that it requires patience and a willingness to wait for the right person.

Boy did you hear me say,
Did you listen to me speaking?
Did you hear me say now.
Did you hear me just now?
Love ain't far, well I done mine, done mine, done mine
Love is nearby, and I have experienced it multiple times.
Oh you can't hurry love.
Love cannot be rushed, it takes time.
