Canadian Jim Morrison deserves more likes.

[@Lonewolf83ca]

Such, such an underrated band which deserves a lot more airplay. The depth of their lyrics and back when songs meant something combined to make it an experience listening regardless of time played.

[@teresatodarello9589]

I agree 1000 percent they over play Justine Bieber bubble gum pop and waste of air space but The Tea Party definitely deserves a lot more airplay

[@templartookie2122]

Unfortunately i think its also a case of them being somewhat forgotten. I only just rediscovered tea party as i literally forgot about them when they i was a big fan of their music when i was young

[@Lonewolf83ca]

@@templartookie2122 I think you're right. Probably forgotten in the craze and graving in the continued search for the next great hit. And some of the new radio hits have something in them, sure, but just doesn't resonate where you go back to it years later for nostalgia.

[@caimaniatico]

Hello to all, this is a amazing Band.

Jeff lives in Australia now. Used to come to my pub, nice guy. Wish him every success.

[@lara.spencerrr]

just went to his concert last night in sydney! amazing band. Jeff is an amazing person.

[@jamesgeorge3900]

Went to the Brisbane concert last night. Totally rocked the Fortitude Music Hall. What a show, one of the greatest 90s bands and still have it. Rock on.

[@anonperson4198]

​@@jamesgeorge3900how good was that gig! I was there! It brought back all the high school nostalgia... Man, this band is so underrated that it's criminal. And that man's charisma.... I have no words. ❤

The opening guitar notes...brings you back immediately - love this song!!

[@danieljoensson2003]

I always get goose bumps from that guitar intro

Beautiful isn't it... I'm just recording my new album with Jeff as I write this and he said it just came to him while they were filming the video for 'Release' 🙏❤🎶

I would love to take up guitar and learn the intro chords to play myself....

[@kevlonabess3738]

Right! Love it!

[@catloverextreme]

I have been a fan for 25 years. I drove through Canada to alaska in 1999 and heard this song on the radio in b.c. and my head almost exploded. They never got a lick of American radio or t.v. love.. I have seen them live twice since then and met them and have never been disappointed. Truly one of the greatest rock bands of all time, period.

[@bobythibault3659]

Im from Quebec and i remember when i was a teenager in the 90 tea party was part of my life listening in the school bus every day .

[@rebeccamay1041]

Close to the border they did....but sadly underappreciated in the US

[@hexxpro]

From the US here and I was introduced to this band through a episode of Dawson's Creek the next day I bought Transmission.

[@sheyharv7604]

Omg! Huge fan of ALL Canadian music. It has been so underrated for way toooooooo long.

[@Northern.Culture]

Jeff Martin also has perfect pitch 🥰😍

[@tlyoung14]

@@Northern.Culture he absolutely does. Scientifically proven. There was a program called "The Science of Music", (Canadian, I believe), which featured The Tea Party, and during this fascinating program, it was proven that Jeff does have perfect pitch. Great band live.

Yep. Totally underatered.

[@joegilliam8553]

With nothing to do you'd waste away Obscured in exile They've witnessed the times You've gone astray Whose fault? Now you're thinking... Ah there's nothing to prove A snapshot from the crowd to the shore baby And it feels now Just like heaven's coming down So strange are the ways They all have changed Still life it stayed the same A break from the past Could make it last Oh maybe just a little longer Now there's nothing to prove A snapshot from the crowd to the shore baby And it feels now Just like heaven's coming down Your soul shakes free As its conscience hits the ground You surrender (you surrender) Love under will (love under will) Rest assured baby, you're adored And it feels now Just like heaven's coming down Your soul shakes free As its conscience hits the ground These times, this fate Takes a path you didn't choose Stay strong, keep faith There's a change that's coming through Hold on, my love Hold on, my love Hold on, my love Feels like heaven's coming down...

[@roxannemorningstar7456]

[@patrickgrondines9520]

@@danielsimard5468 this song came out in 1999

[@Ignirium]

It almost does!

[@AJTwo]

This song just has bigness and spiritual intensity; I don't know if it was meant to be a great spiritual, but it sure sounds like it. From Nova Scotia

[@carlytwopointoh]

Also Nova Scotian!!!!

[@jamesianp]

"This song just has bigness and spiritual intensity" Yes you nailed it. That genius 12-string part, along with Jeff Martin's vocal and lyrics. It's a hymn.

[@tourettesguy3858]

I drank beer with Jeff Martin after his show last week. Amazing guy.

[@dedaelus]

He is one of my favourite musicians and people

[@lh6740]

Where was this If they were on tour and I missed them I'd be so sad. I've seen them 5 times and want to see more shows. My absolute favourite band

[@tourettesguy3858]

Seriously guys, I was drunk in a bar in Montreal and Jeff was there. I didn’t realize who he was. So we went for a smoke, and I just asked him “hey man... can I, possibly come see your show tomorrow?” He was like “ sure man, get me a pen and paper and Ill put you on the guest list”. I couldn’t believe it.. So not only I went to the sold out show show, I stayed for the meet and greet. And after the meet and greet he was like “ alright guys lets go” and we went downstairs in their dressing room where they gave us “Sol” beers and made us listen to his new song before it hit the radio. The Tea Party are the coolest guys I ever met.

[@leospride1986]

They really are. Me and my mom got to meet them (mom was a stage hand) at the time i didn't really know them and i was a stupid kid. But i got a signed band shirt.

[@richardstewart7324]

Dope

[@frankenfurter58]

This song is as relevant in 2022 as it was when it first came out. The dawning of a new age.

[@Ihateyouallequally33]

GUESS WHO GOT TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT this year at the Grey Eagle in Calgary? MEEEEEEE. They were amazing. I love Jeff ❤️❤️ he's so personable

[@aerialpunk]

Honestly such a beautiful song! Still gives me the feels even all these years later

[@Truthasvictim]

I don;t know how rock music, a ballad like this, can get any more beautiful. It's not sappy or folky, it's rock music, it got that edge, but it's so extremely beautiful. If you like this, they have others equally beautiful like Oceans, a total tear jerking and emotively powerful work, The Messenger-a Daniel Lanois work or These Living Arms. Take my word people, you won't be disappointed in any of these.

[@ColleenTempleart]

Tea Party reminds me of my adolescence!❤️ Jeff Martin was so serious, but amazingly talented!

I've seen them live a ton of times, and will continue as long as they're playing. My favourite band.

[@weeturtle8058]

This is one of my favourite songs of all time. I'm not sure I ever really understood it, lyrically, but it always felt so awesome! It's a stop-what-I'm-doing-and-sit-back-and-listen type of song. I included the lyrics in a poetry project I did back in high school. Requiem and Stargazer come up next for favourite Tea Party songs.

The opening rift brings me right back to the moment the guy I really liked and was seeing, he and I kissed for the first time for the entire song🥵. I was 17 both our first kiss ever and this song was playing while the lights were low, we were on Rudy's bed, just after all 6 of us watched The Matrix. Everyone was still in the room but I was either in heaven or it came down to me because I was absolutely euphoric. This song during just took it to another level. Every time I hear the opening intro of this song- even though I am 41, 12 years married with 2 daughters, my core memory opens up and immediately I'm back there again. There was never another kiss to match it!
