“The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking as it seemed from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose; the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried.”
That’s the intro to H.G. Wells classic book.
“I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me”
That’s the intro to this week’s song. H.G. Wells it ain’t!
If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it “I want a new invisible man” or possibly “Love is a stranger, invisibly”
Today’s song covers the fourth single from Queen’s last album of the 80s. That’s right, it’s “The Invisible Man”
The song included at the end of the episode is “Amazed” by Kev (played on, recorded, produced, and mixed by the Cardinal!) Check it out here: https://youtu.be/YQ-qg29lfMw
NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev’s manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 37:58
