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.

The lyrics to Edson's song "Sou Brasileiro" exude a strong sense of pride and love for Brazil, encapsulating the vibrant culture and joyous spirit of the country. The repetition of the lines "SOU BRASILEIRO, SOU VERDE AMARELO" reinforces the singer's identity as a Brazilian, proud of the colors of the national flag. The lyrics paint a picture of a lively and colorful nation, where one can find everything they desire. From the excitement of Carnival to the beauty of mulatas, and the passion for soccer, Brazil seems to offer a blend of experiences that fulfill the singer's desires.
The mention of beach days even without the sun, showcasing a dedication to enjoying life's simple pleasures regardless of the weather, further emphasizes the carefree and easygoing nature attributed to Brazilians. The reference to weekend barbecues, parties, and inviting friends to join in the festivities reflects a communal spirit and the enjoyment of social gatherings, accompanied by cold beer and good company. The inclusion of traditional Brazilian activities like playing viola and attending rodeos adds a touch of authenticity to the portrayal of a culturally rich and diverse nation.
The lyrics also convey a sense of resourcefulness and resilience, as the singer mentions finding ways to make things work even when faced with challenges. The line "O QUE NÃO TEM, A GENTE DÁ UM JEITINHO" alludes to the Brazilian concept of "jeitinho brasileiro," which often involves finding creative solutions to problems. Despite any shortcomings, the singer expresses contentment with the country and the hope for even more, including the presence of women in this vibrant mix of joys.
Moreover, there is a clear assertion of national pride and a playful defiance towards those who may not understand or appreciate the Brazilian way of life. The lines "PRA QUEM NÃO GOSTA DESSE NOSSO JEITO, EU SÓ TENHO UM CONSELHO, SAI FORA MANÉ" suggest a laid-back attitude towards critics, urging them to leave if they cannot appreciate the festive and joyous nature of Brazilian culture. Ultimately, the song celebrates the richness and beauty of Brazil, from its iconic festivals to its warm and welcoming people, capturing the essence of a country that embraces life to the fullest.
