Olausson, Sparding, and Görsch had previously been members of Girlfrendo. The trio promptly regrouped after that band's demise and added Lindwall, who had recorded in a side project with Olausson and Sparding called Cat Skills. They finally added the missing piece with saxophone player Fredrik Eriksson.

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?.

Aging Had Never Been His Friend
Love Is All Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep the one
I love in the freezer
If you wish I'll let
You look a little teaser

Oh the cold
It keeps him well preserved
It's the treatment

He always did deserve

I'm aware that this ain't right
But I'm convinced by the sight
Of the one that I love
Fresh and young, fresh and young

Some people
They may react
But surely, they too
Would wish to stay intact
You see ageing
Had never been
His friend
So to it
I just had
To put
An end

I'm aware that this ain't right
But I'm convinced by the sight
Of the one that I love
Fresh and young, fresh and young

I'm aware that this ain't right
But I'm convinced by the sight
Of the one that I love
Fresh and young, fresh and young

I keep the one
I love in the freezer
If you wish I'll let
You look a little teaser

Some people
They may react
But surely, they too
Would wish to stay intact
Either way this ain't right

I'm aware that this ain't right
But I'm convinced by the sight

Of the one that I love
Fresh
