Track No. 11, “Without You,” the final song on The Sweetest Condition’s debut album, “Edge of the World,” is the cinematic soundscape rounding out the emotional journey on the collection—an epic, heart wrenching tribute to a lost love.
Taken from the imagination of a young girl and her playmate, she soon realizes he’s slipped behind the veil. He can no longer stay with her in this time and space. Theirs is a love for another lifetime.
PRESS REVIEW:
“‘Without You’ ends ‘Edge of the World’ on an emotional high as its chorus soars with intricate breakbeats, subtly orchestral flourishes, and shimmering metallic tones.” –Ilker Yücel, ReGen Magazine, Baltimore, MD, May 19, 2016,

“On ‘Without You’, we experience a bipolar mood of somber, mid-tempo elements that give way to pounding beats, intense synths and vocals for a powerful ending to a great album.” —Gothic Paradise, California, May 31, 2016,

“Fittingly, from a musical and mood standpoint, the album bids farewell with ‘Without You.’ Milner’s musical bed and heavy rhythms complement Benson’s rawly emotional vocals and troubled lyrics, maintaining the album’s painful, emotional theme to the bitter end.” —Geoff Wilbur, Boston, MA, March 17, 2016,

“It sends an emotional message that can linger with us as we come to the end of exploring this wonderful and very sincere piece of their artwork.” —Marija Buljeta, ALTvenger Magazine, Nov. 19, 2015,
