"Afterglow"
Song

"Afterglow" is a song by Genesis released in 1977 on their album Wind & Wuthering. It is the album's closing track. The lyrics use simile to convey the subject of loss and longing to regain that which has been lost.

Argueably the best-known song from Wind and Wuthering, Afterglow became a staple on Genesis tours for over 10 years, from the 1977 Wind and Wuthering Tour until the 1986/7 Invisible Touch Tour [1]

A bass pedal is used to create a drone effect on which much of the song is structured. Live versions of the song appear on the live albums Seconds Out and Three Sides Live.
