about

Picture a time traveller, alone in a big blue box equivalent to a bag of holding—floating through all of time and space. After so many years and so many companions who have long come and gone, he represents what we’ve all been through—that feeling of ultimate loss, despair, solitude, and then one day—hope.

Track No. 1 on “Edge of the World,” called “Beyond the Blue,” is our tribute to a grand love that can only evolve between lifelong friends. The girl who waited. The raggedy man. One lost forever in the blue beyond. One left behind. One day, they’ll be reunited.

PRESS REVIEWS:

“‘Beyond the Blue’ kicks things off simply and directly with an upbeat rhythm and pulsating bass that will immediately call listeners to the dance floor, Benson’s voice matching the power of the guitars in the chorus to make for a punchy opener.” –Ilker Yücel, ReGen Magazine, Baltimore, MD, May 19, 2016, regenmag.com/reviews/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world/

“‘Beyond the Blue’ kicks off with a nice taste of the powerful electro-pop style. This track stands out with a catchy rhythm and dynamic shift between verse and chorus as the moving electronic loops give way to powerful synth layers. Leslie's vocals carry the lyrics deep into the listener's heart. The pounding beats keep the body moving, the rhythm fresh and music interesting and fun to enjoy.” —Gothic Paradise, California, May 31, 2016, www.gothicparadise.com/sweetestcondition.htm

“I’ve had ‘Edge of the World’ on heavy rotation, and while it’s one of those rare albums that I enjoy beginning to end, it’s the opening track, ‘Beyond The Blue,’ that’s stuck in my head and the most likely candidate if I ever sang in the shower.” —Sean Cooper, Alternate Parallel Reality, Australia, April 20, 2016, alternateparallelreality.com?p=1695

“Album-opener ‘Beyond the Blue’ merges a catchy, energetic enthusiasm with a dominant pop-synth sound.” —Geoff Wilbur, Boston, MA, March 17, 2016, geoffwilburmusic.com/2016/03/17/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world

“Songs such as ‘Beyond the Blue’ and ‘Now’ are exactly the sort of music the scene needs to drag itself out of the bland and repetitive hole it has crawled into over the past few years.” —John Crofts, Johannesburg, South Africa, 925|Rebellion, March 12, 2016, 925rebellion.com/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world/

“The opener, ‘Beyond The Blue,’ even sounds a bit like Pat Benatar.” —Didier Becu, Peek-A-Boo Music Magazine, Belgium, Jan. 15, 2016, www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/reviews/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world/

“Leslie’s voice is strong and expressive, and confidently propels this well-written track forward.” —Chuck Frey, Modern Synthpop, Wisconsin, Jan. 12, 2016, modernsynthpop.com/the-sweetest-condition-end-of-the-world-review/

“[‘Beyond the Blue’] can best be described as an optimistic synthpop, vibrant danceable track, giving us some positive vibes both musically and lyrically.” —Marija Buljeta, ALTvenger Magazine, Nov. 19, 2015, www.altvenger.com/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world-album-review/

lyrics

“Beyond the Blue” © The Sweetest Condition 2015
Lyrics by Leslie Irene Benson | Music by Jason Reed Milner

It’s lonely in here.
I feel small in this universe.
And I’ve got so many
years to go…

Will you join me in here?
We’ll travel through this universe
reach across the stars for miles and miles,
but at what cost?
What about the ones I’ve lost?

You fall in love so easily
from the moment you get close to me.
I’ll take you as far as we can go,
farther than anything you know.
But when it’s time for me to go,
don’t say goodbye,
just look to the sky!

Well hello, my dear friend.
Do you remember me?
You don’t have to be alone
in the end….

Beyond the blue….
Just look to the sky;
I’ll find my way
back to you!

When you are lost, don’t be afraid.
Beyond the blue, I’ll find my way….
(Find my way back to you!)

I’ll take you as far as we can go,
farther than anything you know.
But when it’s time for me to go,
don’t say goodbye,
just look to the sky!

I’ll take you as far as we can go,
farther than anything you know.
But when it’s time for me to go,
don’t say goodbye,
just look to the sky!
