    Afterglow 2021
    Lyrics:
    The scattered pages of a book by the sea
    Held by the sand, washed by the waves
    A shadow forms cast by a cloud
    Skimming by as eyes of the past
    But the rising tide absorbs them, effortlessly claiming
    They told of one who tired of all
    Singing "Praise him, praise him"
    "We heed not flatterers, " he cried
    "By our command, waters retreat
    Show my power, halt at my feet"
    But the cause was lost, now cold winds blow
    Far from the north, overcast ranks advance
    Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn
    The waves surround the sinking throne
    Singing "Crown him, crown him"
    "Those who love our majesty,
    Show themselves!", all bent their knee
    But he forced a smile even though his hopes
    Lay dashed where offerings fell
    Where they fell
    "Nothing can my peace destroy
    As long as none smile"
    More opened ears and opened eyes
    And soon they dared to laugh
    See a little man with his face turning red
    Though his story's often told you can tell he's dead

      Thanks! Can-Utility - can opener - is a pun of Canute (The Great), king of Denmark, Norway and England. He showed to his "flatterers", that Kings have no divine powers against forces of nature. In this case tide.

    Too often this song is played without that series of descending minor arpeggios on acoustic guitar that begins here at 3:50 - to me this is one of the most sublime passages in all of Genesis' repertoire, even though it's done and gone in little more than a few seconds of time.

    One of my top five Genesis tracks and a very decent cover. Tony Banks' keyboard wizardry was crucial to this track, as was the build-up by Hackett's acoustic guitar, and the Afterglow keyboardist and guitarist are close to the original.

      Well, the first appearance is a prop, I think. It is looks like a small organ as found in many homes and chapels - affectionately known as a "salme-cykel" ("psalm bicycle" because many of them had foot-operated bellows) here in Scandinavia.
      It sounds like a real Mellotron, or a VERY good sample.

      Mellotron parts were played on a VST instrument, using Ableton Live software to make live performances possible. the samples were recorded from real mellotron tapes. Currently I use a free plugin called REDTRON S.E. for live and studio work.
