Afterglow is a superb "Soft rock" track from one of my fav bands INXS. For people who don't know, INXS is an Australia based band. The song afterglow appears in the album Switch. This was the first album after the entry of new Vocalist J. D. Fortune, the winner from the reality talent hunt show "Rock Star: INXS".
The song was written by Andrew Farriss and Desmond Child.
The song was written as a tribute to the great Michael Hutchence, one of the founders of the band and one of the greatest musicians. Michael was alleged to have committed suicide in 1997. The official INXS website however states that the song wasn't directly written for Michael, but it was a tribute to him. The website also states that the song "deals quite generically with the sense of loss." J.D fits in the band quite well, and this song probably explains how he doesn't want to take over, and just wants to continue Michael's legacy.
I love this line so much: "Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow". This probably explains the whole song.
The guitar chords for this song is really easy and simple. For the strumming pattern, just play the song with the track for a while and you will get the rhythm pattern. You can also play the acoustic version of the song.
