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.
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 😅
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.
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
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...
@@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.
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.
@@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?
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!
"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.
Why does this song make me cry?? But I find it uplifting at the same time. ♡ Beautiful. Great shots of Jeff , loving the non verbal body language (when muted) very warm vibes
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!

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.
I actually got share some drinks with them here in Fredericton NB back in the day. Super down to earth guys letting us drink with them in a booth at the ole upper deck
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.
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 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 .
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.
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.
What a song. The message is strong for the times we are now living in. Gear up, strap up and prepare for the inevitable. May God support the good in the fight of evil.
May 3/2024 ✨✨TGIF 2 all...Tea party were a iconic band in Canadian music . Very proud of this divine musicians .⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Divine memories every time we hear one of your tunes. Should have received so.much more recognition . 🔨💜🔨💜🔨🎙🎶🎵🎼 💚🌱💚 ✌❤✌🍁🇨🇦🍁 ✨✨
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.
@@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. ❤
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
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.
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
Absolute stunner ❤
Been a fan of their music since this song was played on the radio. Anybody here listening in 2025?
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
What a time to be 21 and drunk as F , partys. Good people. Good drugs. No bs. No hype . Real kindness .
Keep lookin up . ❤
Damn right I'm here wouldn't miss it for the world
Dec 7 baby!!
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.
At 41 the words to this song resonates even more for me now than when i first heard it.
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
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.
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!
Very very underrated band in my opinion
Underrated band.
no they are garbage you clown
This song is as relevant in 2022 as it was when it first came out. The dawning of a new age.
Heck yeah 🌟🌌🎺📚🔭🔔🎧🎤💜
Anyone remember the MUCH Music live shows live from Toronto back then? Damn, they had some GREAT band’s.
much now is trash
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!
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 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
May he rest in peace
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. 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”.

Dope
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.
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.🌄☮🍁
Bates from hundred mile
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.
Why does this song make me cry??
But I find it uplifting at the same time. ♡ Beautiful.
Great shots of Jeff , loving the non verbal body language (when muted) very warm vibes
#1 Rock Song on this day, July 12, 1999 - 25 years ago.

Absolutely
YES!
Song reminds me of a better time
Tea Party reminds me of my adolescence!❤️ Jeff Martin was so serious, but amazingly talented!
With covid we're all obscured in exile and getting great fines for breaches love from Melbourne Australia, great song
This song sums up how I feel about Life in General. Haha
Still one of all-time favorite bands.
I've seen them live a ton of times, and will continue as long as they're playing. My favourite band.
Honestly such a beautiful song! Still gives me the feels even all these years later
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.
The Tea Party helped me through a difficult time in my life, love their music 😢😂❤
The Tea Party - Heaven Coming Down
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.
20 years later this song is still awesome.
My favourite song by Tea Party. The intro draws me in......Tea Party kept music alive in 90's.👍

Seen them twice in the last several years... And I'll see them a third time when they come back to town. So good.
They were fantastic this summer in Ottawa 💕
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!
I love this song so much when I was a kid and my dad stop drinking we used to listen to this song life was better
This is one of the greatest rock tunes!! Such an amazing band.
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?
Seen them live in baysville ont
Voice from heaven
A lot of good Canadian bands were obscure in the 90's and still today.
I actually got share some drinks with them here in Fredericton NB back in the day. Super down to earth guys letting us drink with them in a booth at the ole upper deck
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.
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.
How does this have barely 1 million views only?
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.
Love, love,love this man's voice!
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 .
Agreed saw them live , awesome Show
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 song really speaks deeply spiritually to my period of waiting, such a great song
All his words so true
Never Let go of this Amazing Band.. Jeff Martin is a Genius ❤️
I just discovered this band not too long ago and I'm completely obsessed. Why are they not more famous?
Just love their music talented band for sure
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!
It's definitely my favourite song from The Tea Party.
Congratulations on 1 million views!
Much deserved !!!
Great vocals snd guitar player Jeff
An awesomely perfect song. Masterpiece.
Saw them in buffalo 10 times never a bad show
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.
What glory is this!
Masterpiece! 😫😢 No words for this classic. Seen TP 5 times in concert and many more in future ❤️
Jeff is SOOOO fine!
My mom agrees.
Wow, this song brought back so many good memories.
Every time I hear this song I get emotional. I still love you Sarah❤
He does resemble Jim Morrison abit....Years ago they played at a few bars in Windsor Ont..
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.
Lucky to catch Jeff solo in concert. Awesome artist.
Love this song and had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Jeff at one of his shows in Victoria, Australia. ❤️
Music like this just isn't made anymore. The 90's may have been one of the best decades ever.
What a song. The message is strong for the times we are now living in. Gear up, strap up and prepare for the inevitable. May God support the good in the fight of evil.
we down and thank you
A cross between U2 and The Doors. Love it
Loving this from St. Clair Michigan!
Still rocking this in 2021 and it is still relevant ❤️
I was mesmerized hearing Sister Awake on FM 102 (the Edge) in Toronto many moons ago; loved the music ever since. senior from Ajax
Brings back the good memories of adolescence.
I'm quite pleased to see I'm one of only a few with good taste in music lol Especially in 2024
As it was in the beginning and shall be. Yes.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sa fait 28 ans je m en rappellerai toujours
This is perfection , saw them live they are wonderful musicians and great artists , i have listened to this song endlessly !
J'adore le rift de guitare excellente chanson

Love this that voice omg! That band!
One of my favorite bands. Easily.
This song is TTP infused with the spirit of The Byrds. That 12-string is magical.
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
You're playing in Sydney 2024 YESS!!
