Synopsis

Wilkinson's "Afterglow" follows Paul and Dana through five years of their relationship. Rather than presenting a conventional performance clip, it uses quick scenes, intimate moments, parties, arguments, and onscreen statistics to chart the time they have shared. Dates, counts, and visual details turn everyday experiences into a playful record of their life together. As the relationship moves through its ups and downs, the video builds toward a reaffirmation of their bond, matching the song's euphoric, late-night atmosphere.
