Bush's "Afterlife" first surfaced as a promo single in June 2010, a sturdy slab of alternative rock from The Sea of Memories, the British band's fifth album, released through Interscope. It refused to go quietly: in July 2012 it went back out to radio as the album's third official single, a second shot at the airwaves two years on.

To push it, the band posted a lyric video on their official YouTube channel that moves from Bush playing on stage to Gavin singing amid images that illustrate the words.
