Toyah Music 40: Bird in Flight/Tribal Look (1980)
January 29th, 2019
He runs to the water’s edge, To feel the sea, To smell the air, To feel he’s free, He does not really need to see…
Toyah’s third single, and first new music of the Eighties, was the double A-Side, Bird in Flight/Tribal Look. The single was released in February 1980 on Safari Records. Bird in Flight is a brave, raw and ambitious classic from Toyah’s discography and has stood the test of time well, still sounding as good today as upon its release 39 years ago! Though Toyah has said she now finds the lyric “excruciatingly wrong”!
Bird in Flight/Tribal Look were both written by Willcox/Francis/Bogen/Bush/Bray.
