While earning many rave reviews from the blogging community for their blend of art punk and indie rock, the band released several singles, one of which made single of the week in NME. The singles were collected on the debut LP Nine Times That Same Song, released by New York-based What's Your Rupture? in late 2005. After much touring through 2006 and 2007, Eriksson left the band and Love Is All continued on as a quartet. A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night and the remix album Love Is All Mixed Up arrived in 2008, along with Eriksson's replacement Åke Strömer (saxophone, keyboards). They are currently signed to the New York-based indie label What's Your Rupture?.

A Side In A Bed
Love Is All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, I want feather-like feet
And I want my hands to be held
I want someone to put under my spell
I, I want a seat by a table
I, I want a side in a bed
And I want a [Incomprehensible] stable
I want my head resting on a lap
I want dirty dishes for two
I want our special song
I want [Incomprehensible]
I want to be somebody's favorite
I have to be somebody's pet
I want to be somebody's favorite
I have to be somebody's pet
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
The lyrics to Love Is All's "A Side In A Bed" are imbued with a deep sense of longing and desire for connection. The singer of the song expresses a range of specific wants and needs, ranging from physical sensations like skipping heartbeats and feather-like feet, to deeper emotional needs like being loved and accepted by someone, and having a place in their life and their head. The imagery of a seat at a table and a side in a bed are particularly poignant, as they speak to the desire for intimacy and belonging that is so essential to human connection.
The line "I want to be somebody's favorite, I have to be somebody's pet" is particularly powerful, as it speaks to the way that we sometimes crave a sense of belonging and acceptance so deeply that we are willing to give up some measure of independence and autonomy in order to be loved. This dynamic can be both beautiful and fraught, as it requires a level of trust and vulnerability that can be difficult to sustain.
Overall, "A Side In A Bed" is a powerful reflection on the human need for love and connection, and the ways in which we navigate the complex landscape of relationships and emotions in order to find it.
