"Eyes Without a Face" is a song by Billy Idol, co-written with guitarist Steve Stevens from Idol's 1983 album ''Rebel Yell''. The song is softer and more ballad-like than most of the album's other singles. ==Song information== Released on 29 May 1984, this was the second single from the ''Rebel Yell'' album. It reached No. 4 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Idol's first Top 10 hit in the USA.〔 In the liner notes for the Expanded Edition of ''Rebel Yell'', Idol notes that this song was one of the first three written for the album (the other two being the title track and "(Do Not) Stand In The Shadows.") The original track was recorded in Studio A at Electric Lady Studios in New York, with a Linn drum machine and the bass parts played by Steve Webster. The song is notable for the female voice of Perri Lister (who appeared in the banned video for "Hot in the City") that sings 'Les yeux sans visage' (French for 'eyes without a face') as a background chorus. The title of the song refers to French director Georges Franju's movie ''Les yeux sans visage'' (1960). In a retrospective review of the single, ''Allmusic'' journalist Donald A. Guarisco praised the song. He wrote: "The music plays against the dark tone of the lyrics with a ballad-styled melody yearning verses that slowly build emotion and a quietly wrenching chorus that relieves the emotional tension in a cathartic manner." 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「Eyes Without a Face (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
