The Tea Party - The Messenger

[@chriscorbin3190]

Strange how we listen to these songs when we are younger, but years later we can actually hear what they are saying to us...

[@darrylammons4446]

Strong 💪 Lyrics

[@mattlaviolette3030]

Oh man, you said it.

[@rngd0875]

And some of us, young as we were, had learned about Inanna and other esoteric myths he was singing about. And some of us actually cared more about listening to the lyrics than a pretty song. And some never listen to lyrics.

[@cescorosa61]

True

[@cescorosa61]

The song Is by Lanois. Here the sound seems richer

[@GodFaThEr09877]

One of the best bands to come out of Canada.

[@margotolsen8148]

One of the best bands. !

[@jrhetch]

I didn’t know they were Canadian… that makes it better

[@danielpaquet3963]

one of the best bands to come outta anywhere.

[@Allypally81]

Seen them in concert a few yrs ago..was epic..magic

[@Allypally81]

Not only are they from Canada but from what I hear they were in my city

[@jonny555ive]

This band was and still is so underrated. The talent here is stunning.

Yes I agree completely. Amazing live.

Jeff Marin might be the most underrated guitar player on the planet. Find me anyone else (outside of maybe Tom Morrello) that can play something like "The River".

[@cindypatterson6934]

Agreed!

[@futureleader5000]

Iconic band that has definitely been underrated....then again you have to be a certain caliber to understand the Tea Partys lyrics....shout all to all of you still listening in 2020 and a huge thank you to the Tea Party for the memories !

[@jomc7425]

This is so a cover of a Daniel Lanois song so your comment doesn't really apply to this song

[@eforester8891]

no they are not underrated they are amazing.

[@zoranveyes7524]

@@jomc7425 I think in fact he understood what the lyrics are about, and that's why he took it under his wings. Nearly their whole reportoire is filled with these kind of messages, a glance from underneath the veil, and i indeed think most of you haven't any real clue, and the statement from futureleader5000 has got a lot of truth in it.. bye bye, be nice and love yourself, for once... There's no sence in talking eachother down.. ( by the way, i don't think it stayed with him, he was too afraid it would leave him, it was the fear of loosing it that made him loose it. Listen to the rest of his music) SAAAAAVVE ME!!!!! But his voice is golden!

@@jomc7425 Joe and Andre both knew who this BITCH is and they both know she's not to even be around Laura ..... ...

That’s the great thing about music: it’s the way you hear it and interpret it for your own situation. There is no right or wrong

[@georgefortune1109]

Such an underrated band,even at 63 my wife and I still see them when we can, thanks Tea Party keep rocking.

[@julietjackson2918]

I used to sing and dance to this in my bedroom when I was 16. I'm 37 and here I am again. 💜

Also 37 and Canadian. Was a good time for sure :)

[@sandralynn7679]

ME TOO!.. I would grab a tennis racket and belt it outwhen nobody else was home....still do...am now actually

[@drukharimatter2962]

Well I’m 38…but I remember listening to this album when I was 15 or so. It brought me a greater perspective on life, lyrics in songs, meaning. Miss these old school musicians which put out put under rated gold and were forgotten about for decades. Glad us true fans are still here :)

this is the song i listened while in canada in 1999. this is the symbol of my trip to Quebec ( i am a frenchman). i will never forget this song .

Just dropped by for the memories

[@shermansmith1331]

Yeah man.

[@kengaroo67]

I was absolutely convinced in the late 80s (listening to a Canadian Rock Radio station from across Lake Erie) that Canadian Rock was a valid genre of music. Tea Party. Crash Test Dummies. Our Lady Peace. Blue Rodeo. Big Wreck. Northern Pikes. Matthew Goode Band. Cowboy Junkies. Bare Naked Ladies. And my favorite band of all time, The Tragically Hip. I'm still convinced that it is.

[@termsofusepolice]

Me too. Listening to Canadian rock radio in the States from across Lake Erie in the same era. And many decades later it was so sad to see it was ultimately the atrocious Nickleback that finally broke big in America. 😀

[@rebeccarosen6889]

Agreed

Great editing job on this video! 👏🏼

[@dancouver23]

I was never a big fan of The Tea Party but this song just checked all the boxes for me. It’s stuck with me all these years where the lyrics and the music just make themselves present in my head even without physically hearing the song for years.

[@jasminecampbell4022]

I love The Tea Party! Healing music and from Canada too!! 💖🎶

[@stephanielangford9656]

Another AWESOME CANADIAN BAND! Rock on boys

[@bengallup9321]

Loved this song as a teenager, kind of rediscovering it now. It's only gotten better with age.

[@RedEbSeb13]

What a great voice!

[@richardwooltorton7037]

One of the best bands to come out of anywhere!. Should have been massive.

[@salvatoresikilacci8460]

I take this song as my daily dose of remedy. There is something magical about it, something haunting, liberating, healing...

[@raychelchisholm1305]

They helped light my way from the darkness of conformity and shadows of ignorance. They are forward thinkers with a conscience. So much more than just a band....

[@williamrolls8075]

Hello Raychel

[@hernendezsanchez7646]

Underated comment. Ive always thought they were on a higher level of thinking and content.

[@Allypally81]

I think why I love the tea party so much is it's nostalgic for me my first ever boyfriend loved them lol ..so i liked them..but then i actually listened..cause you know when you date someone you do things to please even when not that interested..but then with tea party...i ended up listening and loving!

[@makemeghostface4u875]

Ah geez! Didnt realize I missed those times until I listened to this. Time is fickle.

[@patriceguy7256]

I saw them 5 times in their show and I can't wait to see them again 😍 I love the song...the guitar...the voice!

[@maisielee2382]

Such beautiful music! This music stands on its own merits.

Worlds most underated band

[@GeekOfAudio]

Written by Daniel Lanois for anyone who didnt know. They also did a great cover of The Maker.

[@metalrellaprincessya]

it was only written by Daniel Lanois , if I was also him in a brain transfer , I dont remember being Daniel Lanois , do you know the guy that erased his comment saying that it was a cover of Daniel Lanois ? because, I remember being the tea Party, the tea party songs I did were my songs , were my rights I created them I owned the songs I did , lol

[@DpAmoK]

Wow I remember when I was playing this on guitar. Such a great Band!

Nostalgie 🙌🏻✌🏻

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

Sadly, this #Artist was relegated Early in the USA as a "Doors Copycat", initially, and labeled "that they we're not innovative or creative..."Sadly! Their work is Very #Impressive and addresses many societal concerns that Haunt Us. Radio #programmers are becoming more Open-Minded and will reconsider TEA PARTY's significant work... From their original singles, "Save Me" and "The River" to popular CDN radio staples like"Temptation", "Heaven Coming Down" and imaginative DANIEL LANOIS and RICHARDS/JAGGER covers... INCREDIBLE Musicianship with creative arrangements. Hopefully, they will become more Played and appreciated for their Contributions, as they SURELY Deserve This. Thank you TEA PARTY and your magnificent production Team for So Many admirable Videos and albums. Know that your local Canadian Leadership is not overlooked...You Really ROCK! 😂 ❤ 😅 ❤ 😊
