The Tea Party - Psychopomp

[@melissab467]

Their music is so complex and literate. Eargasmic. One of my fav songs ever.

[@---nw8qu]

Intoxicating isn't it. Best live band I ever saw.

[@octo.lina69]

[@avirose6]

-- I saw them live in my city. They were unbelievable. My brother met Jeff Martin and he was the nicest guy. 😊

[@cristinacorrente2679]

Back in highschool, the student counselor Ms.Martin was pregnant. My buddy used to beg her to name the kid Jeff... think about that when I hear their songs... good times

[@caleustache6057]

So profoundly put Eargasmic

[@shmenge987]

It is absolutely unbelievable that these three guys have created so many masterpieces. They have to be the most talented people in all of music.

[@DonTheMoron716]

Especially their first few albums. Crazy good!

[@headcrashesdead]

Criminally underrated. It's too bad they didn't get they exposure they deserve outside of Canada and Australia . So much talent.

[@rebeccarosen6889]

Canada's best!

[@rhyshilders]

Get a grip buddy. I love The Tea Party, but most talented in all of music? Come on.

[@shmenge987]

@@rhyshilders In my opinion, Tea Party are easily the most talented musicians. Who would you say are?

[@sajateacher]

Just discovered that “psychopomp” is the Greek name for a soul who acts as a guide after death, sometimes appearing as a raven, crow, fox, angel, etc.

Ryan Blais - like an american indian's spirit guide

[@danguide4176]

Hi Ryan I am a psychopomp (human) you are right but most commonly its a person or Spirit. Its fascinating stuff with the most incredible characters. Most people find their own way but some do not move on or get 'lost', thats where we come in.

I totally agree 👍

[@gregallder7996]

1000% correct. Should of been massive

[@sandracorner2195]

I fell in love with the tea party the first time I heard the river... one of the best Canadian bands ever... but this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it... no matter how many times

[@jsunproter1940]

The buildup to that last chorus is just beautiful. Massively underrated band.

[@learrus]

Canadian music will never be as good as it wss up until the 90s and a bit of the 2000s

[@TraceySings]

Love this tune!! Gives me goosebumps when Jeff roars "I'll give you something more". Awesome!!

[@shadowsofvalhallacustomtat8784]

One of the best songs ever written. An absolute masterpiece!

[@waltergoring8428]

'Lies you once adored" Always liked that lyric

[@collier6794]

Why this band doesn't have millions of fans and views I'll never understand

[@zeldwaugh5703]

[@peradetlic519]

It's been called media machinery support, lacking of, I mean. They are Canadians, and that's about it. Imagine how many great bands and musicians all over the world we didn't even heard of and never shall we.

[@kmacgregor6361]

@@peradetlic519 Here is one for you because I have been listening to this and reflecting on the similarities: Conception, a hard rock/metal band from Norway. Sub in a slight flamenco influence for the the middle-eastern influence in The Tea Party. Incredible vocals, inventive guitar playing, solid groove and rhythm, complex songwriting. I recommend their album Flow to start.

[@Kanalarchissa]

Me neither. I keep coming back for years and always thinking that no other songs can match this feeling. No words can deliver their skills, their art.

[@jschrimmel9090]

The song that hooked me to the band. Forever my favorite song of all time

[@shoshafogel6637]

I first saw them live in Melbourne, Australia when I was pregnant. Their music made my baby girl move around so that I felt it for the first time. She’s now nearly 21 and I still get the feels listening to the songs from that concert, or any song for that matter.

[@levijustice3839]

Jeff Martin puts SO much energy and passion into his singing. It must be utterly draining for him doing shows. And that's meant 100% as a pure compliment!

[@kmacgregor6361]

Reminds me of Roy Khan.

[@armypea6032]

I’ve seen them live more than once. Their passion delivery cannot be properly expressed over a music video. Amazing artists

[@veronicaalleyne]

I get that same vibe from breaking Benjamin

[@catttthhhhoooo]

I saw play Jeff a few times over the last 5 yrs. He is still frigging amazing - of course. Hopefully it's not too late for The Tea Party to have another live gig in Melbourne again. I missed your' last one and tears were present. Forever love you guys... time is non-existant ✌💜🎼🎶🎤🎙

[@sherrina75]

They are playing in St Kilda on the 20th June.

[@wargelmari1574]

Oh the memories!! This is still freaking good!

[@sherrina75]

Literally just got back from a live show at Perth Concert Hall.This was Magic.

[@waynejdiversi3084]

Last night in Brissy. Words don't do justice to their performance. What a show. ❤

[@Bored-Music]

I didn't really like the Tea Party back in the day but revisiting them now, they're really, really good. More complex than most of what was popular back then.

[@shmikie]

Yes. I miss this band.

[@thisoldcoder]

Love this group, love this song,. This really was of the peak periods in the history of Canadian music. And also, damn, do I every miss Much Music.

[@joeblack3878]

I remember listening to this song back in 1997. I’d recently dropped out of high school, and was working about 80 hours a week. My life was in transition, and I was going through a metamorphosis. I bought a Dodge Dakota Sport… D50, and was cruising down the highway around 2 am at speeds around 80’ish. Clear night, thick smell of summer, wind blowing in the open windows, going no where in particular… Alive.

[@zoyzandr7021]

Their greatest song....and this live version is sheer perfection! Long live The Tea Party. \m/

[@Lurchtwentyfourseven]

Still evoking as many goosebumps in 2021 as the first time I heard this.

[@mikemarona5069]

I remember sitting around the camp fire with my closest buds, friends I knew from elementry school, we would smoke joints and enjoy all of Tea Party ...good old days in Canada in the late 90's

[@polymathing]

You wanted this, so sad to see The sweet decay of ecstasy And you want it all And you want it all A frozen sun would guide you there As shadows hide the deep despair And you want it all And you want it all I'll give you somethin' more And you'll fade away One last kiss before You fade away So sleep tonight in idle dreams The pain will drown your silent screams And you want it all And you want it all I'll give you something more And you'll fade away One last kiss before You fade away Lives you once adored Will fade away Lies you can't ignore You soon repay As you fade away As you fade away As you fade away As you fade away As you fade away

[@Neon_White]

You want it all. I'll give you something more! Iconic.

[@leighcroaker1156]

Wow! Such a powerful song. Absolutely love this band. Have been listening since I was a teenager in the 90s 😊

Holy fuck. I almost started crying. This song just squeezes out so much emotion. Feelings of young love, lust, desire, treachery, deception, contempt and loss. Amazing. Thanks for sharing that with us all jeff

Sadly, this song reminds me of my ex-wife and our three daughters that don’t want to speak to me. I’m the bad guy.

[@Heisenberg2097]

'Still you want it all... I give you something more...' Aha how can you give more than all? He was utterly disappointed and hurt cuz she rejected him. And she did not fade away... cuz still this song is there he wrote for her. I like it but it never happened to me. So Mr. Party... try harder next time :-D Girls are like flowers. They need rain as much as sunshine... and more inbetween. But what surely kills them is boredom.

[@calebdrew5684]

Fucking beautiful. Anyone who hears otherwise has already succumbed to the darkness of their soul.
