Serena Ryder | Eyes of a Stranger | Junos 365 Sessions

[@christopheroliver2465]

❤ Canada...thank you for all your musical gems: Serena Ryder, Jann Arden, Luba, Gowan, Rush, The Box, Holly Cole...the list goes on. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for raising me 2 miles from the Ontario border and for teaching me to love all things Canadian. ❤

[@cbcmusic]

This is beautiful. Thank you for watching!

[@Nerflover10097]

She nailed it wasn't expecting that

[@wavywav7556]

As a major fan of the original (I’m old as dirt), I just have to say this is DOPE! 👏

[@randyb2505]

Ditto

[@luisgallegos2877]

Every time I hear this song the original,it takes ME back in time to a great place.

[@chriscleghorn114]

Agree, am old as a tree and Serena rocks it

[@MrUndersolo]

I was 7 when the original came out. Yeah, I'm old dirt, too! 🔥

[@dafflad1]

Wow. Buy that sound engineer a drink, well done 👍🏻 bravo Tight band and she’s strong 💪

[@krisupton2201]

This is a true Canadian gem.

[@thegospelpeacemakersforum7805]

She knocked it out of the park. Five stars. Great cover.

[@giorgiogabrielli2887]

Ottima Band, bellissima voce. Complimenti. From Tuscany 👏👏

[@matt-df3xc]

Fantastic! What a version. One of my 80s favs

[@dwood2342]

Thank you for keeping it close to the original. Some people destroy 80s music trying to be "creative" I think an 80s style sound is needing a major comeback

[@jodikaye670]

I agree

[@KingKull1971]

The reggae in this is incredible. And it's hard to believe that this song is over 40 years old.

[@jodikaye670]

Excellent rendition

[@MrDuojet]

The success of The Police caused everyone to play infuse reggae into their sound back then - even Rush!

[@KingKull1971]

​@MrDuojet the Clash were doing it before the Police, besides... Bob Marley and Peter Tosh were popular prior.

[@MrDuojet]

@@KingKull1971 Of course, Marley and Tosh were the originators. The Clash didn't have the same impact or influence as the Police. They weren't in the same league.

[@KingKull1971]

@MrDuojet I disagree about the Clash. They're one of the biggest punk bands of all time. The Police were just pretending to be punks. Nothing wrong with it though.

[@SuperSwifty59]

And this cover is FANTASTIC ... Have it on loop

[@naribhidden1715]

Great to see this classic getting such an incredible interpretation. This is outstanding!!!

[@cbcmusic]

She really did it justice.

[@mikeba5937]

Needs to be a single!! Awesome.

[@lannabofanna779]

Great version. Payolas should be flattered. It's a really good song!

[@michaelbaker6203]

how can this only have 25000 views....it's brilliant!

[@chrischamberlain4846]

Freakin awesome !! This girl has the pipes !!

[@MrDuojet]

Serena has done a couple of covers extremely well. This version of Eyes of Stranger and her version of Racing in the Streets are both fantastic. I always like it when artists show their influences and act like 'music fans'.

[@michaelshields7777]

The first time I ever heard this song was on 14 CFUN, a radio station in Vancouver, Canada, and I lived in Washington state, but the station would come in on good nights, lol, and I loved this song the first time I heard it. This is an excellent cover, and I love the way Serena adds the vibrato on "stranger," towards the end.

[@nikaa4237]

The Payolas had some enigmatic songs. Loved this one. Never seems to get old.

[@cbcmusic]

That's why it won the Juno! Glad you liked it!

[@nikaa4237]

@@cbcmusic Yea can you get them to reunite and do a special on CBC.

[@ethanschulz1579]

Nika, I first heard this in 1983 during Valley Girl movie and it has never gotten old. Thanks for your perspective. Ethan

[@Whisper_and_Sigh]

Best cover of this song I've ever heard. Fantastic.

[@JohnSmith-pb1iz]

She does an excellent job with the Payolas Song!!

[@darinhintz5723]

OMG you captured that groove and put all of your soul into it! Very nice!!!

[@traderdave908]

Love this tune... Great cover!!! Serena, you rocked it! Don't ya Know.

[@svetlanamarie6479]

Damn... 100% thooooo I'm crying. Perfect tribute ❤

[@greglongphee2034]

Brilliant - captures the textured, brooding menacing nuances of the composition perfectly. Cudos to the band.

[@biz2130]

What a voice along with her beauty!!

[@phoque4611]

This is a classic. Great job.

[@HeavyElectric800]

A solid cover of a great song!!! Great writer and production!

[@jaymann5180]

Wow!! I wasn't sure how to expect this. I was thinking it was going to sound tinny and overproduced as it's made this decade, but wow, Serena and her band killed it! And the production is amazing. Almost old school record sounding!! Great job!!

[@Yorcen]

I’m a simple man. Jumped in thinking of Queensrÿche’s EOAS. I’ve found another golden EOAS and a beautiful vocal in every sense.👌

[@soul4saken]

Me too brother

[@MT-sw7bh]

it never occurred to me until now how much of a reggae feel this song has. Killer rhythm.

[@cbcmusic]

Totally! Reggae by way of The Police's own reggae spin perhaps?

[@MT-sw7bh]

CBC Music - it definitely has that vibe. Side note, I had no idea until recently that Bob Rock was in The Payolas, that guy is a national freakin treasure!

[@atlclassicrides]

One of my all time favs from the ‘80s. Nailed it 👍

[@DanHoulihan-kx9qb]

God I love this! One of my favorite 80's tunes.

[@jodimuse18]

Love it! So many years later, my high schol band get recognised.

[@MrUndersolo]

Okay, she has fantastic taste to match her talent...!

[@wildbill9544]

Excellent!! Everyone excellent!

[@myparadiseing]

Brava Serena! This is soul healing!!

[@margricher8876]

I really wanted to cringe and run away but I can't. Serena aced it! xox

[@jacqueslecours9756]

Great Serena !

[@stevenhill8242]

Although I am 71 and feel like I am slowly dying, you make my heart feel young

[@darylwalls2280]

Love this Throw Back song, done very well.

[@jodikaye670]

I am so glad to see and hear this

[@zerokei9403]

Superb cover! ❤

[@DeanMoriarty99]

thankyou. this my jam from 10 yrs old. Aloha!!

[@elvisrosero4389]

Beautiful rendition.

[@arwenrivendale]

I love the original and it certainly didn’t need a remake but it could have been slaughtered so I won’t complain too much. I have the most profound memories connected to this song…bitter sweet for sure.

[@Bellabaddi]

One of my favorite songs from the 80s...but man soo many to choose from in the era of the Clash, Police, U2, obscure like Payolas. Band was on point, singing was great, guitarist rhythm awesome but lead tones were a bit much. Pretty F’n stellar none the less.

[@ProjectAchieva]

Love love love!!!!

[@hondahut]

Excellent! BRAVO!!!

[@powell808]

I love this obscure song from the 80's, and you killed it!

[@martyniner8893]

What a great rendition of an awesome song! Now go listen to the original!!

[@cutter-morris]

I love her. she is amazing

[@mistershipwreck1]

Great job. I got hooked on this song after it appeared in a Miami Vice episode.

[@lovethemack]

this is DOPE~

[@LynnSuthers]

❤️❤️❤️this version- such a powerful voice

[@amee-maymason5660]

What a stellar performance! I prefer this version now. :)

[@36jimmyc]

Awesome take on this!

[@scottmichael-n9u]

Well done double thumbs up !!!!

[@huskerider]

Great cover, smooth. CBC Music, where can one get a legal downloaded copy of they? Thanks!

[@austinidol95050]

after i heard this gem i instantly added it to my workout playlist - well done! , at the end of the song i just hit replay again

[@principleoutdoors8932]

Great tune from the Payolas and great job on this cover

[@ryanbell9177]

Awesome! This was such a classic song from my youth and you and the band did a great job on it.

[@ScottWiecenski]

One of my favorite song! You.....and the whole band knocked it outta the f*ckin' park! You rocked it!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@erichartke4331]

Incredible

[@kevindaniels4366]

Love this song back to high school memories

[@kennethmajor7892]

This and P.O.D.'s version are fantastic homage's to the original.

[@Frankin46]

Straight to soul ❤

[@MrXdaltonxp]

[@jamesdyer9765]

Fantastic cover.

[@cbcmusic]

Thanks a lot for watching!

[@armidarobles89]

Serena , I just fell in love with you . Thank you for loving this song. It's so special to me.

[@SuperSwifty59]

I'm in the gym working bench press( former bodybuilder ) and this guy asks me if he can work in with me ... I'm benching heavy and he is impressed and asks me my name and so I ask his .. he says Bob rock ... I said you the guy who did ' eyes of a stranger " and how I dig his music and told him one of bodybuilders I trained just posed to it and won a title . Interaction I'll never forget ... Great music by talented man

[@reboot_2.00]

Well done!!
