Afterglow Transmission

Key: A minor
Tempo: 82 BPM – laid-back, seductive groove with synth pads and mellow bassline
Style: Neo-soul meets synthwave, laced with lo-fi texture

[Verse 1]

Am – F – C – G
In the quiet of the static, I still hear your name
Flickers in the circuitry, calling through the rain
You said love like ours don’t fade—it just phases out
But I still feel your echo when the night slows down

[Pre-Chorus]

F – G – Am – Em
Was it real or just a dreamstate glow?
Your voice comes back like a vinyl slow

[Chorus]

C – G – Am – F
This is my afterglow transmission
From a love lost in transition
We burned too bright to last
But you haunt my future and my past

C – G – Am – F
Sendin' signals through the shimmer
Every memory still a glimmer
You're gone but not gone far—
Still dancing in my radar

[Verse 2]

Am – F – C – G
Your touch, a silhouette on every soundwave
Time can’t erase what we gave
You faded like the last track on a tape
But your rhythm still finds its shape

[Pre-Chorus]

F – G – Am – Em
Some things don’t need a satellite
Just hearts tuned in to midnight light

[Chorus]

C – G – Am – F
This is my afterglow transmission
From a love lost in transition
We burned too bright to last
But you haunt my future and my past

C – G – Am – F
Sendin' signals through the shimmer
Every memory still a glimmer
You're gone but not gone far—
Still dancing in my radar

[Bridge]

F – Am – G – F
I’ve searched across timelines and tides
But only in dreams you confide
Now I live in the in-between
Where your glow colors every scene

[Final Chorus – soft then rising]

C – G – Am – F
This is my afterglow transmission
Still tuned to your condition
A ghost in every beat
A love that won’t retreat

C – G – Am – F
So if you’re out there, hear me clear
I’m still right here—always near
You're gone but not gone far—
You're the pulse in every star

[Outro]

Am – F – C – G
Afterglow… still shining
Transmission… still finding
