about

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, regenmag.com/reviews/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world/

“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, www.gothicparadise.com/sweetestcondition.htm

“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, geoffwilburmusic.com/2016/03/17/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world

“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, www.altvenger.com/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world-album-review/

lyrics

“Without You” © The Sweetest Condition 2015
Lyrics by Leslie Irene Benson | Music by Jason Reed Milner

Behind the wall, there is a land
a place for us to play pretend.
We have no rules, no consequence.
All is well; it all makes sense.

We need to leave. The time is near.
We must go, but you’re not here.
All we planned has passed us by,
now I’ve no more tears to cry!

How can I go on?...
I can’t live without you,
keep breathing without you.
Without you. Without you.

I loved you so long!
I can’t leave without you.
I’m nothing without you.
Without you. Without you.

You are my rock, when I can’t stand.
You shield my heart inside your hand.
You are the calm that comforts me.
You are the one who sets me FREE!

How can I go on?...
I can’t live without you,
keep breathing without you.
Without you. Without you.

I loved you so long!
I can’t leave without you.
I’m nothing without you.
Without you. Without you.
