Alexander Bard, whose previous music projects had included Army of Lovers, Vacuum and Alcazar, started work on a new project during 2003, working with the record producer Anders Hansson who became the band's co-producer. They auditioned over 35 different vocalists before meeting former Popstars contestant Martin Rolinski who was duly chosen as lead singer. Marina Schiptjenko, an art-dealer and a one-time member of Vacuum, then came on board as the third member of what became Bodies Without Organs [2].
There was initially a suggestion that the band would be a four-piece including Jean-Pierre Barda from Army of Lovers, but this did not come to fruition, and Barda's explicit involvement extended as co-writing the songs "Living In A Fantasy" [2] (BWO's first single) and "European Psycho", both included on BWO's first album "Prototype" (It's odd that a picture of Barda turned up in the inner booklet of this album), and appearing on the videos "Conquering America", "Sixteen Tons of Hardware", "Open Door" and "The Bells of Freedom", in which Dominika Peczynski, also from Army of Lovers did make a cameo too.
The name of the band derives from the philosophical term body without organs, developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari in their 1972 book Anti-Œdipus. Bard, an author and lecturer of philosophy, has referred to the ideas of Deleuze in his books Netocracy - The New Power Elite And Life After Capitalism and The Global Empire, both co-written with Jan Söderqvist.
At no point has BWO been a full-time project for any of the band's members - Bard continues his other career, notable in its own right, as a philosopher, while Schiptjenko remains an art dealer in Stockholm and Rolinski has a Master of Science in Engineering and works in that field.
Alexander Bard launched his new project Gravitonas in april 2010. Their first single "Kites" is launched in 15 versions on April 28th
Martin Rolinski will go solo also in 2010.

BWO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life has been deranged
From tears to joy
My life's about to change
I'm coming out
Now things will go my way
It's gonna be a perfect day
A change is gonna come
Happiness together
With love and wine and song
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
Happiness salutes me everytime
I'm always last to grasp what's going on
I'm on the right but always end up wrong
I break a leg with heartache still attached
What can I do to shape my act
I've earned my happiness forever
A change is gonna come
Happiness together
With love and wine and song
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
Happiness salutes me everytime
I've reached the end
The point of no return
From here it's only crash and burn
I've earned my happiness forever
A change is gonna come
Happiness together
With love and wine and song
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
Happiness salutes me everytime
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
Happiness salutes me everytime
The lyrics of BWO's song, "Happiness," tell the story of someone who has experienced ups and downs in life and is now ready to turn things around. The singer is confident that things are going to go his way and that he will finally find happiness. He acknowledges the difficulties he's faced and the mistakes he's made but is ready to seize the moment and make a change.
The line, "I'm always last to grasp what's going on," suggests that the singer may have been slow to understand or acknowledge his problems, resulting in heartache and disappointment. However, he recognizes that he needs to "shape" his behavior in order to achieve happiness.
The chorus, with its repetition of "I've earned my happiness forever," suggests that the singer has worked hard to reach this moment of clarity and transformation. He believes that happiness will now be a permanent state for him, accompanied by love, wine, and song.
Overall, the song is a hopeful message about the power of perseverance and positive thinking to overcome challenges and find joy in life.
