jedusor | Afterglow

Last night, I listened to this song on repeat as I fell asleep. It's one of those songs with so many layers that I can listen to it over and over for hours without getting tired of it. It's about coping after losing someone close to you, but I didn't realize that until after I'd fallen in love with it. It makes me think about Evan and Larry, and how they've made an impact on my life. It makes me think about how much I've changed in the last year, in the last month, in the last hour. It makes me think about how lucky I am.

I'm not a music critic. I don't know much about riffs and influences and sounds, the things music geeks talk about when recommending music. All I know is what I like and what I don't like, and I like this.

It kind of makes me uncomfortable when other people fall in love with music, and send it to me, and really want me to like it, and I find it mediocre or bad. So it's okay if you don't like this song. Not everyone has the same musical tastes. But it really affected me, and I wanted to share it. I hope you enjoy it too.

"Afterglow" by INXS

Here I am
Lost in the light of the moon
that comes through my window
Bathed in blue
The walls of my memory divide
the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow
in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
as I let you go
I will find my way
when I see your eyes
Now I'm living
in your afterglow

Here I am
lost in the ashes of time
but who owns tomorrow?
In between
the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow
I'm losing control
My mind drifts away
We only have today

Touch me and I will follow
in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
as I let you go
I will find my way
I will sacrifice
Till that blinding day
When I see your eyes
Now I'm living
in your afterglow

When the veils are gone
As I let you go
As I let you go

Touch me and I will follow
in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
as I let you go
I will find my way
I will sacrifice
Now I'm living
in your afterglow

Bathed in blue
The walls of my memory divide
the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest
