"Ieya" was the fourth UK single from the post-punk band Toyah, fronted by Toyah Willcox, and was released in 1980. It was later remixed and re-issued in 1982. This track became an ever-present mainstay of Toyah's live sets, and to this day it is rare for Toyah to play a full set and not perform "Ieya". Its B-side, "Helium Song", was an extended version of the track "Spaced Walking", which, along with "Ieya", featured on the band's first full-length release, ''The Blue Meaning''. Both tracks also featured on the 2005 compilation album ''The Safari Singles Collection Part 1: 1979-1981''. The single was released in several formats, including three different 7-inch vinyl releases, and for the first time, a 12-inch single.〔(Toyah - Ieya ). www.discogs.com.〕 == Background == "Ieya" started off as a jam, on stage. Some months before its release the band played in Bath. The show, according to Toyah, had gone phenomenally well, but the band had trouble with the National Front. Toyah explained: "At the end of the concert the NF were so incensed that the police were called and had to get us out via the Gents window at the back and into a police van, because the NF were outside, kicking in cars, waiting for us at the stage door to kick our heads in. A full-blown riot was in progress", Toyah remembered. "IEYA", according to the singer, "is about mankind believing in ourselves so much that we believe we are immortal and can become our own gods, therefore challenging God as the Devil, in the form of the Devil; man being the beast".〔(Toyah on the ''Blue Meaning''. ) - www.toyahwillcox.com.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ieya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
