Myriad = Aussie Progressive Rock Duo
MYRIAD is a progressive rock duo from Brisbane, Australia.
Evoking the epic spirituality of artists such as YES and TANGERINE DREAM, and with an energetic, space-rock attack reminiscent of 70's RUSH, MYRIAD aims to create deep and reflective music to take you on a soul journey.
MYRIAD has recorded two albums to date; the dreamy 'Sea Of The Sinking Sun' and the epic 'Floating On Ascending Plains'.
Extended, multi-part compositions featuring spacious, layered guitars, other-worldly analogue synths, commanding, detailed drum work, ethereal melodies and majestic themes contribute to a deep and reflective yet energetic sound that recalls the sensibilities of 70s progressive rock artists such as early PINK FLOYD, GENESIS, Mike OLDFIELD and many others!
In 2011, MYRIAD members Matt HEINDORFF (guitars, synths, vocals) and Steve CLARKE (drums) are recording a brand new album. The new album will feature the expansive sound and contemplative themes of previous albums, with new ideas and influences to take you on a musical journey with some surprising destinations!

I reckon closest to Rush's more keyboard laden music, Recommended! Woz
Afterglow
Myriad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause nobody has it on their wall
Another year spending
Your time and pretending to live like no one at all
I miss the way you were with me
With me
But there's a feeling in our minds
And they can see it in our eyes
Late at night
Will we ever know
Why all the stories that we wrote
They only made us feel alone
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
There's so many faces
Just living a dream like nothing is wrong
We're living like this now
Can we just go back to where we started from
I miss the way you were with me
With me
So we're singing all our lies
But there's a feeling in our minds
And they can see it in our eyes
Late at night
Will we ever know
Why all the stories that we wrote
They only made us feel alone
In the afterglow
We're feeling under pressure
But I know we're not the only ones
We just want something to remember
Cause it won't matter when we're all
Gone
I miss the way you were with me
With me
So we're singing all our lies
But there's a feeling in our minds
And they can see it in our eyes
Late at night
Will we ever know
Why all the stories that we wrote
They only made us feel alone
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
The lyrics to Myriad's song Afterglow seem to be about a couple who have gone their separate ways but are still reminiscing about their time together. The first verse talks about a jacket that nobody has on their wall which could be a symbol for the uniqueness and individuality of the person they miss. They also mention spending another year pretending to live like no one at all, which could be an indication that they were going against the norms of society and living their lives on their own terms.
The chorus speaks about singing all their lies and the feeling in their minds that can be seen in their eyes when they are alone at night. They question why all the stories they wrote only made them feel alone in the afterglow. This could mean that they were creating a false narrative for themselves and their love story in order to make it seem better than it was, but in reality, it made them feel even more lonely and isolated.
The second verse talks about how many people are just living a dream and pretending that nothing is wrong. The couple just wants to go back to where they started from, indicating that things have changed and they long for the past when they were together. The bridge talks about feeling under pressure and wanting something to remember because eventually, it won't matter when they're gone.
Overall, the song seems to be about the complexities of love and relationships and how sometimes, even when we try our best to hold onto them, they slip away and leave us with afterglow - memories and feelings that remain long after the dust has settled.
Line by Line Meaning
A pic of your jacket
A photograph of your jacket as a memento
Cause nobody has it on their wall
Because no one else considers your jacket as something worth remembering
Another year spending
Another year wasting time
Your time and pretending to live like no one at all
You spend your time pretending to live a life that no one else is living
I miss the way you were with me
I miss how we used to be together
With me
Together, as a pair
So we're singing all our lies
We are telling ourselves and others false stories
But there's a feeling in our minds
Despite this, we have an underlying feeling
And they can see it in our eyes
Which others can sense in our eyes
Late at night
In the quiet of the night
Will we ever know
Will we ever truly understand
Why all the stories that we wrote
Why all the stories we've created
They only made us feel alone
Have left us feeling isolated
In the afterglow
In the aftermath of the false stories we created
There's so many faces
There are numerous people around us
Just living a dream like nothing is wrong
Living in a fantasy world without acknowledging any problems
We're living like this now
We are currently living in a delusion
Can we just go back to where we started from
Can we go back to when we were healthier and more grounded
We're feeling under pressure
We are experiencing stress and anxiety
But I know we're not the only ones
We are not alone in feeling this way
We just want something to remember
We want something to hold onto and cherish
Cause it won't matter when we're all Gone
Because nothing will matter once we are all gone
