- Here's my cover of the awesomely catchy new wave/alternative rock song currently known as 'CIA'.
‘CIA’, sometimes called ‘Coming Home’, is a mysterious unidentified song, originally recorded off CFNY-FM (Canadian Radio Station) around August-September of 1984. It's been a struggle trying to identify the original artist, so please do get in touch if this song sounds familiar, or if you recognise the original.
Original song: • Help me identify this ...

Interpreted Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Are you coming home for vacation
Can you leave your work behind
Will someone man your battlestation
Will you give them all your time
We all feel the same frustration
And hope to God you're on our side
[Chorus]
Are you coming home to stay
Or will you spend this winter driving me insane
Are you coming home to stay
Or will you spend the season at the CIA
[Verse 2]
Last year you studied Russian wheatfields
Searched for silos you'd never find
And when they found out, you struck a deal
To bring back Levis on company time
But you jumped ship once in Israel
And slipped away at the Arab line
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Can you paint a still life of your location
Will the children wear a smile
Do you believe that's liberation
Or is it trimming for your file
If someone deserves a commendation
Let's present it at his final mile
[Chorus] x3
[Outro]
Are you coming
Are you coming home

Plotwist: The song was actually recorded by CIA agent in his free time.
Jokes aside, amazing cover as always dude.
No joke, I did send the clip to the actual CIA

It’s such a catchy song. I sent it to the core group of CFNY staff from back then, other people who were in radio at the time, half of the Toronto 80s bands, the head of A&R of Sony, Alan Cross went on CBC with it… I even sent the clip to the actual CIA….. nothing
djformaldehyde wildin bruh
YOU SENT IT TO THE *WHAT*
Could you do a cover of ´´under the stars´´(alice song)
I would appreciate
Mysterious and intriguing 💖 Unbelievable interpretation as always💖
wow seriously ... it sounds splendid, to discover the author
Man, I LOVED IT!! I'M BRAZILIAN AND I LOVE THIS LOST WAVE BUSINESS, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE, AND GENUINELY, THIS COVER IS VERY GOOD!!!!!
I showed this song to my father and he liked it! you make good covers btw
Imagine if we collectively send this to the CIA? LOL. They'd be confused but maybe they'll take an interest on it because it's strange how a bunch of people really disturbed them for an unidentified song.
Jokes aside, this is a great cover.
2 people actually sent it to the cia. neither got responses.
@@seabeg the song sound like the wind
YEEES I KNEW SOMEDAY YOU'D DO THIS
Wow, your version is totally spot on!!!! Well done. Hopefully it will help identify the song and artist. I've sent the original version to all of my friends who were in radio or in bands in the 80's and no one has figured out who did the song. Not even the head of A&R at Sony. Lol. Very awesome cover you did there. Great job!
Make a "Like the wind" and "Trip to rio" cover. It'll be awesome!
I'm halfway there...! ua-cam.com/video/j8kE1lb7f0k/v-deo.html
@@DefyJoe thx!!!
lost media hits so hard omg
If an extended version of "everyone knows that" is found I'd love for you to cover it!
It's genuinely one of my favourite unknown songs. Praying for that full version! I'd cover it in a heartbeat!
@@DefyJoe That's great!
By the way I have a question, what is your native language?
It's English. Born and raised in the UK!
@@DefyJoe Oh okay thanks!
It was found
Just came across this from another new thread on Toronto subreddit. Great cover! Love that you sent this to the actual CIA.. ha Did you ever send it to Toronto Mike? He seems like the kind of guy who could maybe figure it out. ha
I was waiting for this. So amazing!
Hey DefyJoe, I DJ for a tiny independent Radio station, I would love to play this in lieu of playing CIA on the radio (it gets weird with orphan copyrights) could I have your permission to do so?
I love the modern spin you put on it
You always make awesome covers!
This is awesome, loved it.
Defy God never disappoints.
This cover gives me serious CSI: Miami vibes to me & your singing voice here sounds like R.O.B. The Robot's British cousin. You know, the Gyromite robot?
nice!
Thanks
This Is fire
Great cover
Well done!
I wonder if you will also doing cover for Your Eyes/Come Back, but nonetheless you are the best cover for these unknown songs, especially this CIA song, really enjoy it.
Love it! :]
Well done
I really like your music. Have you thought about doing original work? I'd listen for sure.
Thank you so much! I do indeed have lots of music I have made, both in previous bands and as myself. I might upload it all one day. I didn't really think people would be particularly interested, to be honest! But it might be my only choice if I run out of mysterious songs to cover!!
Groovy song, can you make a cover from the song unknown "again" (sorry if my english is not very good)
isn't it called "again and again"?
@@potato1907 is again (and again)
Most people call it "Again (And Again)"
So creative I know
It sounds like an official HD remaster, sadly it's not but sounds awesome ngl.
Look at my remaster and tell me what you think
Dude you should do a cover for the unknown song called johnny
Somebody has a piano version (like synthesia)? I want to make a cover in Famitracker
goes just as hard as the original, bravo B)
Make a “Please don’t stop” cover
perturbadoramente genial :0
haz un cover de “la canción de alicia”
Necesitamos ese cover
I listen this version beforenthe original found. I thought this was the original 😅
Pretty awesome cover tho.
Amazing cover, any changes of uploading it to Spotify?
Cool! Where did you get the drums?
The intro kinda sounds like Street Spirit from Radiohead
I have to go now take care 😊
505
Make a ''too many moments'' cover
Do you give me permission to publish this song on newgrounds with an indication of the author?
i actually sent this to the cia
they didn't respond
🤘 P r o m o S M!!
Can you do this with "Love Comes and Goes" - ua-cam.com/video/0cAoP88SwAo/v-deo.html
Good :) but i don't liked the start
Why
@@recordcollector0665 because yes lol
@@recordcollector0665 the original start sounds a bit better,but other than that its mostly spot on
i don't know where are you from but by listening i can say you have different accent from the original. i don't know why but i think the original sounds like bulgarian or at least eastern european.
