The music can be described as Swedish britpop, the band being very strongly influenced by Oasis and the The Beatles (to the point that you forget what band you're listening to). The name of the band comes from the song 'A Day In The Life' by The Beatles.
The band consists of:
- Kristian Gidlund: drums.
- Victor Norén: lead singing, tambourine, bass, guitars.
- Carl Norén: lead singer, guitars, harmonica.
- David Hebert: bass, organ, guitars.
- Jonas Carlson: lead guitar
The band released several demo's before they were contracted, in 2004. In that year, they released the EP 'Stay Young' and - later - the single 'Sweet Jackie'. It was the first single of their debut album, which was also released in 2004. The album ('Young and Armed') was also released in both Japan and Germany, where the band toured heavily, in early 2005. Two other singles, 'Sail Beyond Doubt' and 'Far Away From Man' from the album were also released in 2005.
In 2006, the band released the second album, 'First Round', First Minute'. The singles 'She/Last Chance' and 'Marigold' were also released that year. In 2007, the band only released the single 'Let Me Try', which was also included on the second album.
In 2008 the band returned with a third album, of which 'The Escapologist' was the first single to be released. The album was named 'The Wild One' and also contained the singles 'Never Thought' and 'Bus Stop'. Both singles were also released in 2008.
The band has gained a lot of popularity in Germany. They're better known in Germany than in their home country, Sweden. The band has two official sites, from which one is in German.

Sensation
Sugarplum Fairy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faster then any bullet blows
And I need you to kiss me from head to toe
'Cause you're so foxy and it makes me go
Gave you all the answers
Gave you, made you all I had
Let me be remembered as the best of every band who
I started a rock 'n' roll band best of every band, that's me and my brothers' band
The Johnny's made the band, and our drummer made it real to live out our dreams
And why because I wanted you so
So then I wrote songs and I played them for you
And the morning story was my blues
Turning Into Nothing
The rain began to fall as the bus stopped, falling in
The man in the window turns his face and he starts to sing
He's giving her the look; he's falling from the sky
He's leaving his own mind
Keep on turning into nothing
What you need's what you've got
It's not your problem anymore
Turning into nothing
You twinkled and twisted you're back in your old '65
I saw you in a daydream with the treetops on your head
The multicolored girl in the net wanna see the dead
Where are your fantasies?
Oh please don't bother me
I made it up for you
The first verse of Sugarplum Fairy's "Sensation" expresses the singer's intense desire for someone they love. They are impatient and cannot wait any longer for that person to be with them. The comparison to a bullet emphasizes both the singer's intense passion and the speed with which they want their feelings to be reciprocated. The imagery of being kissed from head to toe is a symbol of complete surrender, a desire for the person they love to take over and overwhelm them completely. The second stanza is about the singer's artistic ambitions, expressed through their rock 'n' roll band, which they created to impress the person they love. The lyrics imply that the singer wants to leave a lasting impression not just as a talented musician but as a person who achieved their dreams. They are willing to run and strive towards their goals to make it happen, and it all started because they wanted this person so badly. The last part of the song is about the singer's creativity and imagination, as reflected in their songwriting. The rain and bus symbolizes the chaos and loneliness that inspires the creative process. The person in the window singing is a reminder that even in solitude, there is art and beauty to be found. The singer is indulging in a daydream where the person they love is transformed into a "multicolored girl in the net." At this point, the song adopts an air of surrealism, with the suggestion that reality and fantasy are blurred. The final verse expresses the idea that the singer created the song and the band for the person they love, and they don't want anyone or anything to get in the way of their pursuit of their dream or their affection.
Line by Line Meaning
I want you and I don't wanna wait anymore
I desire your presence and I am not willing to delay seeking it any longer
Faster then any bullet blows
My yearning for you is more rapid than the speed of any projectile
And I need you to kiss me from head to toe
I require physical affection from you that spans from the top of my head to the tips of my toes
'Cause you're so foxy and it makes me go
Your good-looking nature is so alluring that it provokes a reaction within me
Gave you all the answers
Provided you with all the solutions
Gave you, made you all I had
Gave you my all, made you my everything
Let me be remembered as the best of every band who
May I be acknowledged as the finest member of every music group that exists
Ever had a brilliant plan so I ran and ran and what then
Executed intelligent schemes, which led me to hastily come up with more plans
I started a rock 'n' roll band best of every band, that's me and my brothers' band
Began a rock genre music group, incomparable to other bands, featuring my brothers and me
The Johnny's made the band, and our drummer made it real to live out our dreams
The performer named Johnny assisted in creating the group, and the drummer made our aspirations come alive
And why because I wanted you so
The justification being my craving for you
So then I wrote songs and I played them for you
Subsequently composed and performed music for your delight
And the morning story was my blues
The sad tale that occupied my thoughts during the morning was my sadness
The rain began to fall as the bus stopped, falling in
The precipitation started to come down when the bus halted, coming inside
The man in the window turns his face and he starts to sing
The male individual by the window turns his head and commences a melody
He's giving her the look; he's falling from the sky
He's giving the woman a specific expression, he's plunging from the atmosphere
He's leaving his own mind
He's escaping his own thoughts
Keep on turning into nothing
Continuously altering oneself into an insignificant entity
What you need's what you've got
Whatever you're necessitating is what you already possess
It's not your problem anymore
It's no longer your concern to worry about
Turning into nothing
Becoming null and void
You twinkled and twisted you're back in your old '65
You sparkled and rotated and now you're back in your vintage 1965 self
I saw you in a daydream with the treetops on your head
I visualized you with tree foliage on your head in a reverie
The multicolored girl in the net wanna see the dead
The girl of many colors enclosed within a mesh wants to witness death
Where are your fantasies?
Where have your desired dreams gone to?
Oh please don't bother me
Kindly refrain yourself from being a nuisance to me
I made it up for you
I fabricated it specifically for your benefit
