Ace Wilder Interview: Work to live, don’t live to work

In her tongue-in-cheek song “Busy Doin’ Nothin’ at All,” Ace Wilder advocates being lazy. But in reality this 31-year-old has worked very hard to reach the final of Melodifestivalen 2014. Before her semi-final no one knew who she was. Now everyone wants a piece. “It’s crazy,” she told us ahead of her rehearsal in the Friends Arena on Thursday. “I haven’t been able to understand what’s going on.”

We know what’s going on: a star has been born, along with a potential Melodifestivalen winner.

You can watch our interview with the lovely and talented Ace above, and you can re-watch her semi-final performance below. What do you think of her chances? Let us know in the comments box below.

Busy Doin’ Nothin’ lyrics — Ace Wilder

I am, not made for working overtime
And you know
Don’t even like the nine to five
I wish all those lazy days were everyday
And you know
Wouldn’t want it any other way

Although some might say
I throw life away
I just ain’t got time to save
I might be insane
And I may complain
don’t believe no pain no gain

I’m busy, busy, busy
Doing nothin’ at all
I’m stressin’ over nothing
Don’t bother to call
I’m busy, busy, busy
Doing nothin’ at all
Don’t bother to call
I’m doing nothin’ at all

Don’t wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I sleep
Dont wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I dream
Don’t wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I sleep

Dont wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I dream
I am, always almost there in five
And it’s, always the night before deadlines
You know, don’t bother calling before noon
Even when, you say later its still too soon

Although some might say
I throw life away
I just ain’t got time to save
I might be insane
And I may complain
don’t believe no pain no gain

I’m busy, busy, busy
Doing nothin’ at all
I’m stressin’ over nothing
Don’t bother to call
I’m busy, busy, busy
Doing nothin’ at all
Don’t bother to call
I’m doing nothin’ at all

Don’t wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I sleep
Dont wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I dream
Don’t wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I sleep

Dont wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I dream
You may, not approve of my lifestyle
And while, you working I’ll be living life
So you, can call me lazy if you like

Don’t care, this is the story of my life
Cause I’m busy, busy, busy
Doing nothin’ at all
I’m stressin’ over nothing
Don’t bother to call

I’m busy, busy, busy
Doing nothin’ at all
Don’t bother to call
I’m doing nothin’ at all
Don’t wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I sleep

Dont wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I dream
Don’t wanna work, work, work
I wanna make money while I sleep
Dont wanna work, work, work
Don’t wanna work
