about

Lovingly remastered for inclusion on the final Low Countries band album 'We Weathered The Storm'

For Nigel the emotional heart of the album and an obvious contender to be reused from the 2016 EP. This song took a lot of work writing and a lot out of him, it had to be wrenched out over time. All worth it as the finished song finally became one he’s most proud of. This great recording is also the result of a lot of hard work from the band, especially Rob and Darren’s astounding drum and bass interaction and Marc’s inspired guitar part on the final bars, all expertly mixed by Mick. Always a live favourite, even played solo the song could silence a room. A song inspired by certain old Universal horror films, modern day paranoia and weird time signatures. All mixed in a filthy test tube and sprinkled with Prozac.

lyrics

There’s a house on the hill & an abandoned mill, that’s where
He built his machine that’s crazy & mean, I swear

He’s aimed it at us, with its deranged buzz, we can’t hide.
It’s hot on our heels, but no one else feels its mad vibe

It's washing us away, washing us away, invisible ray

It's science gone mad, in a home-made lab, I’m sure
There's no reason or rhyme, for this paranoid crime, and no cure

Washing us away, washing us away, invisible ray
Washing us away, washing us away, invisible ray

It must be destroyed, hurled in the void, before long
We scream and we wail, but to no avail, we’re gone

Washing us away, washing us away, invisible ray
Washing us away, washing us away, invisible ray
