The Conc… Read Full Bio ↴The Concretes are a Swedish band composed of eight members.
The Concretes began as a three member band with Victoria Bergsman, Maria Eriksson, and Lisa Milsberg, in 1995 in Stockholm. Since then they have picked up members, growing into an eight piece band. They also have a number of "Honorary Concretes" who play on their records.
One of their songs from their album The Concretes, Say Something New, has been featured on TV advertisements in the United States for Target.
Another of their songs "Chico", has been remixed by Australian electronic artists The Avalanches.
Maria Eriksson is also half the band Heikki, with guitarist Jari Haapalainen. They released their self-titled debut, a mini-cd, in Scandinavia in 2002. The follow-up, Heikki 2, appeared in 2004.
Group members:
Lisa Milberg – current lead vocalist, drums
Maria Eriksson – guitar, lead and backup vocals
Martin Hansson – bass, backup vocals
Ulrik Karlsson – horns, piano, backup vocals
Per Nyström – organ, backup vocals
Ludvig Rylander – horns, piano and backing vocals
Daniel Värjö – guitar, mandolin, backup vocals
Victoria Bergsman - Vocals
An email to fans dated July 25th stated that Victoria has left the band to pursue a solo career. Surely this will change The Concretes sounds markedly, though the integrity that characterises their work is sure to remain whatever decision the band make.
Their 2010 album "WYWH," which received slightly less positive reviews, has turned out to be their last.

Ive been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
Ive been hanging on the phone
Ive been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, Ive been haunted in my sleep
Youve been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
Ive been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
Its just some friends of mine that say,
Hey, whats the matter man?
Were gonna come around at twelve
With some puerto rican girls that are just dyin to meet you.
Were gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, lets go mess and fool around

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Wont you come on! come on!
Ive been walking in central park
Singing after dark
People think Im crazy
Ive been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, whats the matter with you boy?
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Youve been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time

The lyrics to The Concretes' "Miss You" depict the yearning for a past lover. Throughout the song, the singer expresses their desire to reunite with their former partner. The repetition of the phrase "Lord, I miss you" and the emphasis on longing and waiting create a sense of desperation and helplessness. The singer has been holding out and sleeping alone, but they want to kiss and be with their loved one once again.
The lyrics also touch on themes of memory and nostalgia. The singer sings about being haunted by memories of their ex in their sleep and dreaming about them. They have been walking around Central Park and singing, thinking about their past together. However, the song ends with a twist, as the singer realizes they are lying to themselves and will not miss their ex. They have been wasting their time on someone who has been blotting out their mind, and they are ready to move on.
Overall, "Miss You" is a poignant and relatable song about the pain of lost love and the struggle to let go.

I've been hanging out so long
I've been waiting on your call
Lord, I miss you
I've been sleeping all alone
I've been hanging by the phone
Want to kiss you
I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord, I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say:
"Hey, what's the matter, girl
Can you come around at 12?
There's some fine boys dying to meet you
Bring a case of wine
You know, like we used to,"
Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh baby, why you wait so long?
Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh baby, why you wait so long?
