    From Pete Trewavas and Eric Blackwood's "Edison's Children"
    With Marillion's next masterpiece gearing up this summer at Racket, Edison's Children is going to hold off on the recording of its next "epic" until after the release of "Marillion 18". (As, we want to hear it as much as you do!).

    However... we wouldn't want to leave you without anything, until then. Because of this, we are proud to announce that we will begin an immediate pre-order for our new "bridge album"... something to take you from our last album to our next and it is appropriately titled...

    "Somewhere Between Here And There..."

    This CD will feature:

    -- 14 never before heard, new and remixed tracks including 7 brand new songs totaling nearly 80 minutes of music! This includes the 3 songs that Eric Blackwood just debuted for you at the Marillion Weekend in Montreal...

    -- Never before released: A Million Miles Away (I Wish I Had A Time Machine) - Live From Wolves from the 2013 Marillion Weekend!

    -- King Crimson Lead Singer Jakko Jakszyk was recommended to us, by Steven Wilson to help Edison's Children mix their 2nd CD "The Final Breath Before November". However after mixing 4 songs, we decided that while they were excellent mixes, they didn't quite have the Edison's Children "sound". John Mitchell would remix the songs for the album (with only The Final Breath appearing from Jakko on the actual CD). For the first time ever hear the other 3 songs as they were originally mixed by Jakko. This will finally include the highly anticipated "Where Were You? -Jakko Whisper Mix", complete with the 2 minute longer "whispery ending" which has been the rumor mill of E.C. forums for over a year now.

    -- When Mike Hunter mixed the epic song "The Longing", he mixed two very different versions. One was a beautiful and lush orchestral mix and the other, a powerful and complex rock anthem. After taking 3 days of listening to each mix, Pete and Eric decided that Mike's amazing "Rock Mix" would be a defining song for Edison's Children. Now you finally get to listen to the more "orchestral version" that Mike Hunter produced, which nearly made it to the album!



    We hope that this 3rd Edison's Children release will keep you warm and fuzzy throughout the coming summer months, until we can complete our next epic concept album.

about

when the longing came back from mike hunter, we received not one but two amazing mixdowns. one was a more orchestra based mix while the other was an unexpected full band rock ballad of intesnse drums and bass. the problem for us was... the longing was intended to be more of an orchestral piece. in the end, we felt that mike’s full band epic would leave our audience completely breathless. here’s the original orchestral version that came so close to being the one that was used on the final breath.

lyrics

A Winter’s fire burning bright
Funny the things you long for…
Warming your soul in the night
Funny the things you long for…
Now I feel so cold aching in my bones
I just want a place to call home
And I will roam this netherworld
Until I know that you are never alone
One more chance to say goodbye
Funny the things that you long for…
One more chance to hold you tight
Funny the things you long for…

Wandering in and out of your mind
When I had to desert you
I know you feel so betrayed
I never wanted to hurt you
Even when you feel all alone, I won’t be far from home
Just close your eyes And I will be all around you…

Was I really there or just the fleeting vision from the corner of your eye?
Just a vision from your mind overwhelmed by that chill inside
A glimpse into a world completely lost in its own despair
I can’t move on from here until I know that I’m in there
Forevermore…

So when things fall from the wall
that’s just my way of making a curtain call
Ever creek in the floor, ever squeak in the door
...every noise in the hall
So when you get up at night and see a strange sort of light
It’s the way that you know
I will watch over you from The Longing…
