This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
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 wants 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 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow
When the faith has 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
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 wants 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 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow
When the faith has 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

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i love this song. i think its about the good times and the bad times in a relationship. "the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses", well i also feel that its about a guy who is deeply in love with this woman, "touch me and i will follow..." it comes across as something that went wrong in a relationship, mostly her fault and how the guy is still hung up on her, but is still angry with her for what she did, im supposing cheating
hi everyone this is my first post here. i've heard that this song is about how the new singer (whats his name?) is feeling about filling into the shoes of the late michael hutchinson, he's apparently living in hutchinson's "Afterglow".. well thats just my opinion, its ultimately upto the listener to relate to it in her/his own special way...like Tagore said "It takes two to make music, the musician who plays the song in reality and the listener who plays the song in his head".. enjoy! this is a great song :-)
I agree that the meaning is unique to each listener. For me, it is about my relationship with my friend turned lover. Due to our circumstances, we don't see each other very often, but when we are together, we lose all track of time. Our feelings remain unspoken, but I can see it in his eyes, feel it in his touch. We spend a few blissful hours together and then he disappears until I see him again. I live in his afterglow realizing I have to sacrifice my feelings so I can function without him. My sorrow vanishes the moment I see him again. One small touch and I am healed.
lost in love....but the afterglow will pull you through
heard this song.. and loved it..!!!
I love it too. It has a really hypnotic rhythm too.. kinda like the way a person feels hypnotised when he/she falls in love.
I love this line so much: "Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow"
to me now, this song is about losing a loved one, if not from a breakup, but from a passing. a few weeks ago, a good friend of mine died at the young age of 16 and this song was played at his funeral.
"touch me and i will follow, in your afterglow. heal me from all this sorrow, as i let you go"
we're all mourning ryan's death, but we know that he's watching us from above, and he wants us to all stay strong.

yay!! love it :)
I love this song heaps..J.D fortune (the new lead singer) is awesome..it could be about J.D following in michael hutchinsons afterglow..i think that would be a good meaning to the song. It could also be about a relationship..it really depends on what u think of it ;)....love this song i can listen to it forever!!! p.s j.d fortune is HOT lol :)p.ps- GO SOCCEROOS..GOOD LUCK IN GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL..KEWELL AND CAHILL R LEGENDS.. (totally off the topic lol )
It's blissful pop that's what it is: sweet, fizzy, not much substance, yeah the words are somewhat generic, BUT... it sounds great.
I think that it is about letting someone go and living with that sacrifice but in the end what keeps you from dying or being completely lost is the memories you hold on to, the afterglow. But there's a message of hope here, because he says "I will find my way when I see your eyes" and "'til the blinding day when I see your eyes" in the meantime there's a looming sadness "bathed in blue"
The song is about J.D's respect and admiration for Michael Hutchence and how he doesn't want to take over, he just wants to continue his legacy. Fortune has said this himself
