Ieva

Ieva is Josiah Clancy’s first high-quality single release of which is a nod to the nostalgic era of the internet around the mid-2000s.

The song features a beat and bassline alike the works of Jonas Erik Altberg, a.k.a. Basshunter, which accompanies the Finnish folk melody of Ievan Polkka (Ieva's Polka). The lyrics of the song, performed by Josiah Clancy himself, complete the production as the artist gives honorable mentions to the inspirations and legends in meme and internet culture such as Hatsune Miku, nightcore, Leeroy Jenkins, and more.

I know this is an older tune
Rest assured this is something new
Even if polka's not your groove
I guarantee you'll bust a move
So let the rhythm flow through you
And let the music take you to
The early years of when YouTube was
Techno, Nightcore and Miku

That era we made flipnotes
Chocolate Rain, first Rickrolls
Rage comics, the leek spin
DoTA and Leeroy Jenkins
Everything around 2006
Back then that's when times were bliss
Remember back when trance music
Used to sound like this?

You're not alone I'm here with you
I'll always be right there for you
There's no need to worry now
Stay with me I'll show you how
Everything will be alright as long as
You just stay right by my side
Just like Ieva we'll dance all night
Let me tell you why
There's no need to worry now
Just stay calm I'll show you how
You're not alone I'm there for you
I'll always be right here with you
I promise that you'll be alright
As long as you're right by my side
Together we will own the night
Baby you and I

La la la la la lala

This is Ieva's Polka

Jump to now, present time
The future isn't looking sublime
Comedy's now randomized
Everything's been compromised
Kids today are stuck on TikTok
Unmonitored doom scroll brain rot
I can't lie, we were the same
We were the ones who made The Game

At least we still have access
To the internet's fine classics
Crazy how fast time has flown
All those memes are old but gold
But what if we went back to the past
And made sure that those legends last
I guess there's no point going back
Since I'd rather be with you

You're not alone I'm here with you
I'll always be right there for you
There's no need to worry now
Stay with me I'll show you how
Everything will be alright as long as
You just stay right by my side
Just like Ieva we'll dance all night
Let me tell you why
There's no need to worry now
Just stay calm I'll show you how
You're not alone I'm there for you
I'll always be right here with you
I promise that you'll be alright
As long as you're right by my side
Together we will own the night
Baby you and I
