In december of 1999 the band got the formation it has today: Pelle sings, Filip Carvell plays the acoustic and the electric guitar and sings, Helena Söderman plays the flute, melodica, harmonica, glockenspiel, Wurlitzer and sings, Mårten Josjö plays the electric guitar, Mats Deltin plays the bass and Ulf Lundberg the drums.
In 1999 Edson made about 30 live appearances, e.g. one at the demo stage of the Hultsfred festival in Sweden. After the performance Edson met John Cloud, who was interested in releasing something on his label Stormstreet records. In September a four-track EP was released containing the songs Sunday, Lovely Sunday, I Didn´t Mean to be Mean, 22:22 {We Need a Quarrel, We Need a Fight} and Terry Whips.
The same year the band contributed with two songs on the compilation CD The Sound of Young Sweden and with one song each on Sound Affects Magazine's »Hultsfred special-CD« and the »Demoscenen«-CD of the Hultsfred festival. The Sunday, lovely sunday EP was also released by Matinée Recordings in the US, but with a slightly different tracklist.
In the autumn of -00 Edson was signed to Summersound Recordings and recorded their debut album Unwind with edson, which was released February 14 2001 and was received well.
Album number two, For Strength, was recorded and mixed during ten intensive days in the end of December of 2001, once again with Andreas Ahlenius as technician and once again mainly in the rock metropolis of Gävle, Sweden. The result is very satisfactory. Edson has evolved as a unity, and their sound is more homogenous and personal.

Save Me From Myself
Edson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been a fool
Been digging for fire
With the wrong tool
I've played with people
Like if they were toys
Deeper and deeper
(Oh won't you)
Save me from myself
And cure this mad disease
Save me from myself
Please
I've been a coward
A self-centred prick
And what I've discovered
Is making me sick
(Oh won't you)
Save me from myself
And cure this mad disease
Save me from myself
Please
P lease, believe me when I play
Believe me when I say
I'm sorry and I'll pay the price
Believe me when I sing
Believe me when I cling
I'm sorry! I regret those lies
In Edson's song Save Me From Myself, the singer is reflecting on their past behavior and acknowledging the damage they have caused to themselves and others.

The final lines express a desire for forgiveness and a willingness to make amends. The singer asks the listener to believe them when they say "I'm sorry," promising to pay the price for their past mistakes. Overall, Save Me From Myself is a powerful and introspective song that explores the nature of personal growth and the importance of self-awareness.
