Yeah.. 😅had a near death experience a while ago.. 😅 I remember this on the radio 📻 back then it had a meaning But today it has a very different meaning than it idid 24 odd years ago… Strange how meanings of words change over time 😅
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.
@@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. ❤
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.
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
@@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.
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 love this song until now . And forever. Just wanted to embrace you 😘💘 . Got a new map. Hopefully see in Abbotsford.or just a call away . I m still searching for you
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.
@@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.
"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.
@@TheSuicider81 "Chin up, my friend. As soon as you're born, you're dying." WTF dude? You tell him to cheer up and then tell him something incredibly depressing?
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...
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.
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.
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.
they are pushing because the have new music and are touring, currently in Australia. I saw them in Moncton NB Canada, back in April 2019 and the show rocked!
I'm so glad my mom has loved this band since the 90s, I never really listened to them as a kid but I finally decided to today and I'm blown away by what I've been missing out on.
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!
This is one of those songs where the moment I hear it that’s it for listening to any other band that day. It just doesn’t feel right to skip on playing the living shit out of it.
this song was the soundtrack to one of the hardest times in my life as i'm sure for others living in montreal in 1999. God bless you guys, or whatever you believe in .
I'm just finishing vocals on my new EP with Jeff Martin as I write this... He is a great guy, an incredible musician, as well as an amazing producer 🙏🎶
My favorite band. Saw them live in 1994 first time after splendor Solis at ontario place forum. Have their 91 indie cd. Have a black Gibson harp guitar like Jeff. Mine is 1914
just heard this band today for the first time, had to find out who did it....amazing and love it to the moon & back!!! Keep on and on, great voice and music, luv luv luv it!!! xo LoLa xo
I missed all their tours previously, finally the timing aligned. This album was a solid fave in my collection and this video, this song is cut into my memory as I watched it early one morning the year it was released.

Been a fan of their music since this song was played on the radio. Anybody here listening in 2024?
Yeah.. 😅had a near death experience a while ago.. 😅 I remember this on the radio 📻 back then it had a meaning
But today it has a very different meaning than it idid 24 odd years ago…
Strange how meanings of words change over time 😅
Me
one of the most criminally underrated bands of all time
Agree
fo shizzle
Big time.
@@DonTheMoron716 my mom's BF when I was like 12 gave me one of their CD and I was hooked since.
And this song proves it
Jeff lives in Australia now. Used to come to my pub, nice guy. Wish him every success.
just went to his concert last night in sydney! amazing band. Jeff is an amazing person.
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.

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
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

Hello to all, this is a amazing Band.
Bands like this are why i listen to Canadian radio. American radio is. Saturated by masurated bullshit
Canadian Jim Morrison deserves more likes.
This song is prophetic in its own right
Yeah The Tea party is from Winseir Ontario
Canadians have always known how to rock and roll!
oh ya "D
justin beiber??? :( (just havin' fun) LOL
@@stevej4709 hahaha his time will come
Dam right we do
this is garbage.
The opening guitar notes...brings you back immediately - love this song!!
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 love this song until now . And forever. Just wanted to embrace you 😘💘 . Got a new map. Hopefully see in Abbotsford.or just a call away . I m still searching for you
I would love to take up guitar and learn the intro chords to play myself....
Right! Love it!
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.
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 .
Close to the border they did....but sadly underappreciated in the US
From the US here and I was introduced to this band through a episode of Dawson's Creek the next day I bought Transmission.
Omg! Huge fan of ALL Canadian music. It has been so underrated for way toooooooo long.
I used to hear this on Rock 94 from Thunder Bay pretty often.
Jeff Martins voice is earth-shattering. Just AMAZING.
Exactly! It's absolutely a magnet, draws you right IN and you are left wanting more. Incredible!
Jeff Martin also has perfect pitch 🥰😍
@@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.
Beautiful voice...great band ...!
This guys' voice is crazy deep and seductive.
he has that energy, just saw him play before halloween...
And he looks soooo hot
His voice....I agree so sexy and deep
Yes voice draws u in jeff
Anyone remember the MUCH Music live shows live from Toronto back then? Damn, they had some GREAT band’s.
much now is trash
Very very underrated band in my opinion
Underrated band.
no they are garbage you clown
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
Also Nova Scotian!!!!
"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.
This song is as relevant in 2022 as it was when it first came out. The dawning of a new age.
This played at my best friends funeral. She was 18 and like a sister to me . Still brings tears to my eyes. Rest in peace Tanya
Sorry for your loss, my condolences… May she rest easy. 🙏
Are you gay?
So young. I'm very sorry for your loss. Chin up my friend. As soon as you're born, you're dying.
@@TheSuicider81 "Chin up, my friend. As soon as you're born, you're dying."
WTF dude? You tell him to cheer up and then tell him something incredibly depressing?
So sorry to hear man. Stay strong. Play - Release.
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...
How does this video not have at least 1M views ? Amazing song!
Under raided is my guess. Which is a shame.
cause this got out in like 1998, most us didnt have high speed internet or a cellphone by then , no itunes and it doesnt run much anymore :)
@@danielsimard5468 this song came out in 1999
It almost does!
This song was played when we scattered my brother in law ashes the lyrics told his life and it brings tears to my eyes each time
I drank beer with Jeff Martin after his show last week. Amazing guy.
He is one of my favourite musicians and people
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
Seriously guys, I was drunk in a bar in Montreal and Jeff was there. I didn’t realize who he was.

Dope
I feel like I'm floating on this song whenever I hear it❤
Absolutely
YES!
My favourite song by Tea Party. The intro draws me in......Tea Party kept music alive in 90's.👍
@jeffmartin. Hello!
This song sums up how I feel about Life in General. Haha
Love, love,love this man's voice!
Honestly such a beautiful song! Still gives me the feels even all these years later
My Australian girlfriend introduced me to the Tea Party in 2001, was totally blown away. They're virtually unheard of in South Africa
Bro they deserve fame the level of U2. Glad you are a fan from RSA.
I've seen them live a ton of times, and will continue as long as they're playing. My favourite band.
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.
Tea Party reminds me of my adolescence!❤️ Jeff Martin was so serious, but amazingly talented!
You're playing in Sydney 2024 YESS!!
Can't believe so few views and comments on this vid. These guys were huge back in the day. Love them.
Check the upload date. It's a re-upload.
@@nswhorse Where's the original?
they are pushing because the have new music and are touring, currently in Australia. I saw them in Moncton NB Canada, back in April 2019 and the show rocked!
Relax....No Flies here.🌄☮🍁

Never Let go of this Amazing Band.. Jeff Martin is a Genius ❤️
This song really speaks deeply spiritually to my period of waiting, such a great song
I'm so glad my mom has loved this band since the 90s, I never really listened to them as a kid but I finally decided to today and I'm blown away by what I've been missing out on.
Rest assured, you’re adored ❤️ lockdown nov 2020. Hold on, my loves.
Stay strong!
Feels like heavens coming down.....I love the chords they play at the end of the song as well
We made it!
Still one of all-time favorite bands.
Agreed saw them live , awesome Show
Masterpiece! 😫😢 No words for this classic. Seen TP 5 times in concert and many more in future ❤️
This song speaks to me in a way that I don't think anything else quite will, ever. This man is a prophet, on a very small scale.
This is one of the greatest rock tunes!! Such an amazing band.
Congratulations on 1 million views!
Much deserved !!!
The song that got me into this band!! Senior year in high school. Classic. Old as f---- now. Got all albums.
Which album is this song on and how can I get it? Can't find it anywhere!
Love this song and had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Jeff at one of his shows in Victoria, Australia. ❤️
20 years later this song is still awesome.
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.

#1 Rock Song on this day, July 12, 1999 - 25 years ago.
My dad passed away July 12 2022
Thank you for posting this. ❤
With covid we're all obscured in exile and getting great fines for breaches love from Melbourne Australia, great song
Seen them live in baysville ont
Love this song
I had a friend in a chat room back in the days of AOL post some of their lyrics. Been enjoying their music with the esoteric subtleties ever since.
Seen them twice in the last several years... And I'll see them a third time when they come back to town. So good.
Every time I hear this song I get emotional. I still love you Sarah❤
First time seeing this video. Last 2 days listening to this song on Spotify over and over. I,m 50, where has this song been?
This is one of those songs where the moment I hear it that’s it for listening to any other band that day. It just doesn’t feel right to skip on playing the living shit out of it.
Wow, this song brought back so many good memories.
....qnd a slight smile near the end.
goddam he's a heartbreaker this boy and that song....kill meeeee
This is perfection , saw them live they are wonderful musicians and great artists , i have listened to this song endlessly !
JM looks sooo stunningly gorgeous in this video ❤❤
I just saw them in Ottawa. Fantastic show!!
I just saw them with treble charger, I mother earth, and the headstones. They were damn loud, but awesome.
They were fantastic this summer in Ottawa 💕
Voice from heaven
Love this that voice omg! That band!
One of my favorite bands. Easily.
These guys are so good live. 20 years on since this video, and still kicking it strong. Sick riff to try and sing and play.
There’s not really a better live band out there imo
A cross between U2 and The Doors. Love it
Still rocking this in 2021 and it is still relevant ❤️
I am a tea totaler.
✌️❤️🇨🇦
Great vocals snd guitar player Jeff
this song was the soundtrack to one of the hardest times in my life as i'm sure for others living in montreal in 1999. God bless you guys, or whatever you believe in .
Seen these guys live and they were amazing 👏 😍
Saw them in buffalo 10 times never a bad show
It's definitely my favourite song from The Tea Party.
He does resemble Jim Morrison abit....Years ago they played at a few bars in Windsor Ont..
I'm just finishing vocals on my new EP with Jeff Martin as I write this... He is a great guy, an incredible musician, as well as an amazing producer 🙏🎶
Very cool!! Congrats!
@@ilexevergreen5405 Thank you!
@@limitlessinitiatives :D
He's worked tirelessly for charities here in Windsor, including one I'm active in. Very cool in every sense of the word.

You can, it's the tuning that may surprise you.
Hands up the best and the most amazing memories growing up!
Such a presence. The tea party are amazingly insane. Jeff Martin is awesomely perfection live
Hello Liz
I missed all their tours previously, finally the timing aligned.
This album was a solid fave in my collection and this video, this song is cut into my memory as I watched it early one morning the year it was released.
A lot of good Canadian bands were obscure in the 90's and still today.
One my fav bands of all time, save me in hard time. I love so much this guys.
