Afterglow is a warm, immersive journey through layered synth textures, subtle grooves and emotive atmosphere — blending melodic house with cinematic depth. Perfect for late-night drives, introspective sets or that moment when the sun just begins to fade.

Afterglow

phaeleh - afterglow (pasha boot)

this song has a melancholic lofi-hip hop vibe, kind of moody like a afterglow

s.m.i.t. - amurg

A slow-burning deep house journey — part groove, part ghost.
Built on nostalgic chords, dusty textures and hypnotic rhythm, “Forget to Remember” drifts between memory and movement. The kind of track that plays when the dancefloor turns inward.

Sometimes we dance to forget. Sometimes to remember.
This one does both.

PS There's also a shorter radio edit available if that's what you prefer

Forget to Remember (Extended Ready For Summer Mix)

🔥 Afterglow – Song Insight & Lyrics 🔥

🔻 Afterglow – Song Insight
Some loves fade slowly, like the final embers of a fire that once burned bright. Afterglow is about breaking free from the past, stepping out of someone's shadow, and finally breathing without them.

This is a song for those who escaped a love that left scars, but no longer feel the weight of it. It’s about watching the pieces drift away, knowing they can never pull you back.

The melody lingers like a memory, but the words hit like a revelation—this is not about loss, but about freedom.

🔻 Afterglow – Lyrics
🌙 [Intro]
"No longer trapped in your afterglow,
The light has faded—it let me go.
Fragments fall, dissolving slow,
A life I’ve left, but still it shows."

🔥 [Verse 1] (Deep, pulsing bass, atmospheric reverb, slow build-up)
"Overflowing depths where silence grows,
Pulling down the pieces no one knows.
A hollow cry that cuts the air,
But the cost you pay is always there."

⚡ [Chorus] (Radiant, soaring vocals, layered harmonies, shimmering synths)
"I watch my notes drift by,
Words you’ll never hear.
No longer I wonder why,
They dissolve, then disappear."

🌊 [Verse 2]
"Ink-stained hands trace broken lines,
A story lost to wasted time.
Shards of light fall through the cracks,
Breathing fades and won’t come back."

🌌 [Bridge]
"Fractured mind, a shattered view,
The mask you wear is breaking through.
Strings you pull to keep control,
But they tighten and devour you whole.
You spin in circles, downward bound,
But I’ve escaped—no longer found."

🔥 [Chorus Reprise]
"I watch my notes drift by,
Words you’ll never hear.
No longer I wonder why,
They dissolve, then disappear."

✨ [Outro]
"No longer the weight that burdens me,
I’ve broken free from what used to be.
The past remains, but I’ve let it fade,
Now I stand whole, no longer afraid."

🔻 4Me2BeFree
This song isn’t a goodbye—it’s a release. Afterglow is for anyone who’s walked away and realized they don’t need to look back.

4Me2BeFree doesn’t just write about pain. This is about what comes after—the healing, the acceptance, the moment you finally breathe on your own.

The name says it all: 4Me2BeFree. No limits. No apologies. No more afterglow—just the light of a new beginning.

RIVIK is a producer from Vancity, British Columbia, blending Electronic Lo-Fi genre with Soul into a genre-fluid sound that’s all his own. Since launching in 2024, he’s been crafting tracks that hit like late-night drives and quiet mornings—moody, melodic, and deeply personal. Every beat tells a story, every melody feels lived-in.

Follow RIVIK for a growing collection of songs that live between the static and the soul.

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.

Open format DJ based in Bristol.
