Hello there! Time for a song review. Not a review exactly but something like a Thank You Note. There are some songs which enter your playlist and stay for a while. Some stay longer. But most of them always leave after awhile. But, there are some songs which just get stuck in your playlist and your mind for a long long time. In this section, i will take you through my playlist (forever Playlist).
1. Afterglow- INXS (http://www2.mp3raid.com/search/download-mp3/3051794/inxs_afterglow.html)
My serious gratitude to Andrew Farris and Desmond Child for having written this song. This song,apparently, is a tribute by INXS to Michael Hutchence, one of the founders of INXS, who had committed suicide in 1997. Not that my opinion matters but, I would say- a tribute couldn't get better than this.
"Touch me and i will follow you, in your afterglow." This one line alone gives a million meanings to a million people. Not to forget, the song wouldn't sound the same without the vocals of J.D Fortune. The soulful voice is what adds extra depth to the song and leaves the listener numb at the end of the song. There is another version of this song,too, featuring Sona Mohapatra. It, no doubt, adds a new dimension to the song however, the song sounds the best in it's original version.
So, if you have already listened to the song and you like it, Hi Fi!!! if you didn't like it, well, i'm sorry. And if you haven't listened to it yet, what are you waiting for??? Move it!!!
Cheers!!!
"Celebrate life
because you are living. Celebrate death
because you lived!"

There are a couple of other lines which i really like as well - esp "Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow". How can someone come up with such a beautiful expression of something so true? I <3 this song.
