Joya may refer to:
Joya is the fifth album by Will Oldham, but the first (and only to date) album billed to his name, rather than the Palace or Bonnie 'Prince' Billy monikers. It was released in 1997 on Drag City. It also features Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, and David Pajo.
Some copies of the album included a bonus disc entitled Little Joya (Drag City littleDC107), which was later reissued as a separate single in 1998 (Drag City DC107X).
In 2007, when the album became available for download through iTunes, the artist credit was changed to Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, with altered artwork reflecting the change.
All tracks written by Will Oldham.
Joya (English: "jewel") is a brand of fruit sodas introduced in 1942 in Monterrey, Mexico by mineral water producers Cia. Topo Chico (now a division of Embotelladoras Arca, the second largest Coca-Cola bottling group in Mexico) Joya was available only in the Mexican states of Nuevo Leon and the north of Tamaulipas; then, in 2004, Joya distribution started in Coahuila, and part of San Luis Potosí, and in 2005 in Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Baja California. In 2004 Joya was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company, and in 2006 Joya was introduced in Hidalgo, part of Morelos and part of Puebla .
God bless the chaos, I'm ready to go
Made my provisions written my notes
Too bad that folks remain on the earth
To see me deny no to renew my birth
And even my swallow my sweet one of all
Will be angry and bitter and briefly withdraw
For I've done much protecting and hiding of hardness
The awful emotion I never could bear
I was always afraid to reveal what I'm knowing
Like I have a particular kind of thing growing
Indifference, a bosom ally to despair,
Soaks itself in to the skin and the hair
I keep all my cards at my chest without playing
The ones that I knew I was all this time saving
And rarely refered to it rarely gave clues
That I had the deep sickness I tried not to choose
That I had here inside of me a key to self-knowing
So base and respected neglected and flowing
Perversion and what might be called paranoia
Description defies though the concurrent Joya
And every corpuscle and each fold and wrinkle,
Subknuckels, perception of what's within my vision
And hearing distorting and feeling is lying
