For many years, the group presented a ragamuffin image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. The Kelly Family began to break up in 2000 and afterwards they performed mostly as individuals or sub-sets of the whole group and took on a more mainstream look.

Do do do do Do do do do Do do do do Do do do do
stressed out in a traffic jam again
stressed out i got to meet my boss at ten
stressed out he called me on my phone and said
"i'm freaking out now pal you're fired!"
stressed out i got a million bills to pay

The Kelly Family's song "Love Music 'N' Sun" is an uplifting and optimistic response to life's many challenges. The song begins by describing a character who is feeling overwhelmed by stress - stuck in traffic, facing the prospect of being fired, drowning in bills, and dealing with crumbling relationships. The person is at the end of their rope, about to reach their breaking point. But in the chorus, the song introduces a solution - love, music, and sunshine. These three simple things have the power to heal the soul and bring peace to the mind. The song repeats "Love music 'n sun for body soul and mind" as a mantra, emphasizing that everyone needs a little bit of hope and positivity in their lives.
The verse then describe the character's further misfortunes - falling ill, losing everything, and staring death in the face. But the chorus remains constant - the solution is always the same, love music and sun - the ultimate trifecta of happiness. Finally, in a fantastical twist, the character finds himself at the gates of heaven, where even the greatest sinner can experience a state of contentment by embracing love, music, and sun.
"Love Music 'N' Sun" is an inspiring and relatable song about finding joy in difficult times. It underscores the power of simple pleasures, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, the sunshine and a good song can help pick us up and keep us going.
