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?.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Love Is All's song Busy Doing Nothing are somewhat nonsensical and may require a bit of interpretation. The first verse alludes to being preoccupied with distractions such as watching a movie or listening to the same song multiple times. Despite this, the singer acknowledges they have to get back to the person they are addressing in the song. The second half of the verse revolves around a wallet and what appears to be someone borrowing it and then returning it.

The second verse is even more inscrutable, with disjointed phrases such as "Thing Or Not Is Paparate" and "Look The WinDOW OOO wHaT hAppeNd wItH tHe WiNdOws." These lines seem to refer to something happening outside, but it's unclear what exactly. Despite the initial confusion, the overall impression is that the singer is caught up in mundane details and distractions but ultimately wants to reconnect with the person they are addressing.

Take Your Wallet Is Not Complicacion And Give It Back To Me.......5 Movie No. 5. Nine Times The Same Song
Returning your wallet to you is not a complicated task, but I'm getting tired of repeating the same routine over and over again.

I had an amazing day and acquired some great things today that I want to share with you.

It doesn't matter if it's real or not, sometimes our perceptions can deceive us; just look outside and see all the things happening with the windows.
