Riff: Jose Gonzalez – “Afterglow”

Feb 17, 2015

You and me and everyone we know/Leaving memories and traces for the afterglow

from Afterglow lyrics by Jose Gonzalez

Punctuated by a nice groove in seven, the worries about the “afterglow” we’ll leave after we’re gone have varied significance. For one, there’s the old saying ‘we preach our own funeral as we go through life.’ Outside of that, there’s the environmental aspect to our actions on earth.
