Love Is All is a five-piece indie pop band from Gothenburg, Sweden. It releases songs in English. Paste Magazine has stated that it makes "infectiously lo-fi punk rock laced with saxophone and melodic vocals".
Swedish band Love Is All are composed of Josephine Olausson (vocals, keyboard), Johan Lindwall (bass), Markus Görsch (drums), James Ausfahrt (saxophone), and Nicholaus Sparding (guitar/vocals). Olausson, Sparding, and Görsch had previously been members of Girlfriendo. 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 Polyvinyl Record Co..

At the roadhouse where the highway
Doe's a little number there with a 42
On a chasin' for some lovin'
On a humid afternoon
She's delightedhe's a quitter
He probably never will deliver
So she leaves him with his rock 'n' roll tunes
But he's still got the GTO
And he still loves to drive that road
He's still got a GTO mighty good
It's kind of gold
On the blue team in Virginia
Another weekend maneuver
On a weekend with per diem
A lot of work there for democracy
There's a governor from assembly
Reciting good poems from his memory
And all of his money in his money jar
He traded for one muscle car
But he's still got the GTO
And he still loves to drive that road
He's still got a GTO mighty good
It's kind of gold
In Malibu California
There's a surfer do you remember
He used to ride the big kahuna
With Robin and Finesse
They used to call him super hooter
He used to rock there to wooly bully
He's the one you can see him on the beach
They call him old man
Checking out the girls and their cars
But he's still got the GTO
And he still loves to drive that road
He's still got a GTO mighty good
It's kind of gold
Hahaha
My GTO
