Hannah Hooper met Christian Zucconi late one evening on the lower east side of Manhattan. They had both been living in New York for years and had never crossed paths before. But from that night forward the two could hardly be pulled apart. Soon after their connection, Hooper was invited to an art residency in Greece on the island of Crete and Hooper insists "without any hesitation" she invited Zucconi to join her on this journey. "Seriously, we had only known one another for a few days but are both so inspired and alive when we are together that going to Greece seemed like a magical and natural thing to do," recalls Zucconi.
On Crete, in a small remote mountain village, Hooper and Zucconi met the members of their future band "GROUPLOVE" a year before it was officially formed. Sean Gadd, a natural songwriter and guitar player, born and bred in London instantly bonded with the two eccentric New Yorkers. Their relationship became apparent through the music they were making day in and day out. Andrew Wessen, a pro surfer and musician from Los Angeles and his childhood friend Ryan Rabin, an accomplished drummer and producer, were also at the residency and quickly joined in with the musical trio. These five musicians make up the members of what we now know as GROUPLOVE .
Like all good things, the summer and the residency came to an end and the five friends scattered back to their homes all over the globe. With Sean in London, Christian and Hannah in Brooklyn and Ryan and Andrew in Los Angeles GROUPLOVE was faced with the challenge of what to do now. "We all understood how rare it is for five strangers to feel as close as family and create passionate music together. We couldn't just return to Brooklyn and let the music we all made fade into a memory of that summer we had in Greece," explains Zucconi. Everyone pulled their funds together and Sean, Christian and Hannah made their way to Ryan Rabin's studio in LA to record their album. "We seriously had the best time of our lives doing that record," says Gadd. And the result is an incredibly special album where soaring harmonies coupled with sweeping anthems lead you through their powerful journey. Like the members of GROUPLOVE, their music is diverse in influence and style but bonded together by an undeniably creative kinship.
Their experience back together and recording together was so potent that Hooper and Zucconi packed up their lives in Brooklyn and Gadd packed up his life in London and they all moved to LA to live and play their music.
"We never could have dreamt this up," says Zucconi, "but at the same time we're not at all surprised - GROUPLOVE is meant to be. Our story a testament to fate, and our music is something we are ready to share."

Grouplove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I left my body in a sea of people, and that's just what I believe in
Yeah, we laughing like a Wednesday night
We ran across the interstate
And drank a bottle of vinegar
And then we stayed up really late
Bring me down, break it down in the hot, hot desert
Bring me down, break it down in the hot, hot desert
This is where I wanna be
And I am what I am, a natural disaster
Pick me up at three, send me off to sea
And maybe I'll come back for you
See, I lost my clothes, I'm skinny-dipping
And I can't understand what I'm after
So as we lay upon this ground, I swear you look like Lucifer
But green is blue, and so are you,
And now we gone to Jupiter (Right now)
To Jupiter (Ah, shit)
Bring me down, break it down in the hot, hot desert
This is where I wanna be
Bring me down, break it down in the hot, hot desert
This is where I wanna be
And I am what I am, a natural disaster
Pick me up at three, send me off to sea
And maybe I'll come back for you
See, I lost my clothes, I'm skinny-dipping
And I can't understand what I'm after
Swim, swim, swim in a swimming pool
The sky is blue, the trees are too
Swim, swim, swim from green to red
Go to bed, you sleepyhead
Swim, swim, swim in your swimming pool
Like swimmers do, I'll call on you
Yeah, I met somebody in a sea of people, and that's just how I'll leave it
Yeah, I left my body in a sea of people, and that's just what I believe in
That's just what I believe in
That's just what I believe in
And I am what I am, a natural disaster
Pick me up at three, send me off to sea
And maybe I'll come back for you
See, I lost my clothes, I'm skinny-dipping
And I can't understand what I'm after
Swim, swim, swim
The song "Shark Attack" by Grouplove contains lyrics that are quite abstract and open to interpretation. At its core, the song seems to be about living life impulsively and with abandon. The repeated lyric "Yeah, I left my body in a sea of people, and that's just how I'll leave it" suggests a desire to lose oneself in the moment and live life without fear or hesitation. The line "Bring me down, break it down in the hot, hot desert, This is where I wanna be" could be interpreted as a desire to escape the confines of societal norms and expectations and embrace a more wild, untamed existence.
The lyrics "And maybe I'll come back for you, See, I lost my clothes, I'm skinny-dipping, And I can't understand what I'm after" also suggest a sense of confusion and uncertainty about what the future holds. The line "I am what I am, a natural disaster" could be interpreted as a sense of recklessness or self-destructiveness, but it could also be seen as an embrace of one's own imperfections and a refusal to conform to the expectations of others.

Yeah, I left my body in a sea of people, and that's just how I'll leave it
I gave myself fully to the crowd and I don't regret it
Yeah, we laughing like a Wednesday night, we ran across the interstate, and drank a bottle of vinegar and then we stayed up really late
We had an unforgettable night full of laughter, danger, and an unusual drink, and we enjoyed every moment of it
Bring me down, break it down in the hot, hot desert, this is where I wanna be
I want to be in a place where I can break down and face my true self in the harsh and unforgiving conditions of the desert heat
And I am what I am, a natural disaster, pick me up at three, send me off to sea, and maybe I'll come back for you
I am unpredictable and uncontrollable like a force of nature. Take me away from here and I might come back to you someday, but don't count on it
See, I lost my clothes, I'm skinny-dipping, and I can't understand what I'm after
I am stripped of my inhibitions, diving into unknown waters, and feeling lost and confused about my own desires
Swim, swim, swim in a swimming pool, the sky is blue, the trees are too
Let's escape reality and swim in a world where everything is serene and simple, like the blue sky and green trees around us
Yeah, I met somebody in a sea of people, and that's just how I'll leave it, yeah, I left my body in a sea of people, and that's just what I believe in, that's just what I believe in
I found someone special in the midst of chaos and crowds, and even though I may never see them again, that experience made me believe in the power of connection
