Music has taken the young members of Edens Edge on an intriguing journey and they are thankful for the ride. “We’ve really grown up together and we’ve moved here and created a life together and I think that kind of history is organic,” says Dean. “We came together naturally-- just for the purpose of having fun and playing music. That’s part our chemistry- we’re all doing something that we love together.”
Cherrill and Hannah agree. “We’ve grown together and changed together,” says Cherrill while Hannah adds, “We’ve found or have written music that moves us and inspires us. We just trust that the music will speak for itself. You do what you do and hope people will love it and can connect with it because our first love--as much as we love playing and writing music--our first love is inspiring others through music.”
Too Good to Be True was released in April 2012 as the group's second single, and their self-titled debut album was released via Big Machine Records on June 12, 2012.
In March 2013, it was announced that Edens Edge had parted ways with Big Machine Records and that member Hannah Blaylock had left the band.
Amen

You finally got rid of that girlfriend
You finally came out of that love coma boy
I heard Mary Jane at the powder-puff beauty shop
Sayin' that blond in her tube top
She left our Jimmy for a boy in Illinois
Someone give me an amen,
Someone give me an amen.
Can I get a thank God Hallelujah
You finally saw what she was doing to ya
Your mama called it, she was right
Glad to see you saw the light.
Whole town yeah we hooped and hollered.
She drove away nobody stopped her
Na na na na na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen.
Yeah right, like I really coulda said something
You wouldn't heard it if the train was coming
You had your head so high in the clouds
Oh I, I had a really good reason
For hiding my feelings but now I can finally spit it out
Someone give me an amen.
Someone give me an amen.
Can I get a thank God Hallelujah
You finally saw what she was doing to ya
Your mama called it, she was right
Glad to see you saw the light.
Whole town yeah we hooped and hollered.
She drove away nobody stopped her
Na na na na na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen.
I'm standing right here in front of you
I think I love you too
Can I get a thank God Hallelujah
Baby do you believe it, do you?
Your mama called it, she was right
Glad to see you saw the light.
Whole town yeah they hooped and hollered.
The preacher's son and the farmer's daughter.
Na na na na na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen,
Someone give me an amen
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na

As if I could express my feelings at that time

You had your head so high in the clouds
You were not in touch with the reality
Oh I, I had a really good reason
I had a compelling reason
For hiding my feelings but now I can finally spit it out
But I couldn't express my emotions before, now I can finally say it

I believe that I also love you
Baby do you believe it, do you?
Do you also think it's true?

I met these guys in Va Beach and they are truly the kindest group of musicians I have ever talked to. So much talent I do hope that country radio is ready to let these guys shine like they deserve.
