Genesis - Afterglow - Audio not very loud

Genesis
Wind & Wuthering 1976


Afterglow

Tony Banks

Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.

Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now Ive lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.

And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.

"The meaning of all that I believed before

Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one."

Beautiful metaphor!

Interesting to see how Tony Banks sits so high in front of the piano, his arms almost vertical instead of horizontal.

Wonderful....Spacially at the end when Phill plays the crowd`s ovation....Love it.

[SuperGrayeagle]

that song is to me the pineacle of Tony's songwriting. fucking brilliant!!!

[DChilds09]

If I was in that studio at that time, I would have to grab a bass guitar, dam that was good, stand that up against any phoney crap today

In the NAKEDNESS of this performance

you can hear that diamond shining up the bright original poetic reason-to-be of that tune. The way it was born from their souls and hands ,and was ment to be.

Even "dressed-up and fully arranged" this songs poetry is of an absolutely charming and heart-overwhelming kind.

quality.

Damn this is a great song. The version on Seconds Out is the definitive one, I reckon.

[wanderer300]

Afterglow doesn't live by itself. It's strict part of W&W suite, and must be played only after "unquiet". Alone it seems a sweet pop hit.

BTW: taking W&W for Foxtrot is terrible... Please don't misguide two definitely different artistic periods of G!

[markphopto]

very appropriate..... my condolences.....he must have been a musician!
