For the past couple of weeks, I've chosen very old songs to talk about in my posts. So today I feel like I need to mention more recent music, and when I mean recent, I mean that have been released within the past couple of years. Wilkinson's 'Afterglow' (released in 2013) was featured in his appearance at my current uni's club a couple months back, which was an extremely popular night. I have to be honest, I didn't know who Wilkinson was, but I do appreciate good music to dance to and this track certainly is great for that.
I'm a massive fan of dancing all night long and whenever the lights come up in a club and we have to all leave the dance floor, I actually feel my heart break a little inside because I just want to keep dancing. But just like the song suggests, "the night is young" because my friends and I will walk back home and even though we all have to go to bed, we somehow spend the next five hours hanging out in someones flat and eating food, playing games and chatting. So I guess that is our version of the "afterglow" and we end up staying awake until after the sun comes up. Because last week was the last week of classes for the semester before our Christmas break before exams, every night there was some kind of celebration, which meant a lot of late nights (eg. going to bed after 9am the following morning). On one occasion I cooked up a massive batch of pasta and improvised making sauce which was really delicious for my flat mates and I, because obviously having a complete dinner at 6am in the morning makes perfect sense.
But I love the lyrics of 'Afterglow' so much, even though you don't really notice them when you are in a club, but when you listen to the song in a completely different setting, you appreciate how much they capture the feelings of a night out. But it's definitely the beat and pace that gets you moving and full of energy.
