The Tea Party - Winter Solstice (Original)

[TampaRed]

When they're lowering my poor carcass into whatever overpriced vessel my loved ones choose to have me rot in, this is the tune I want playing... and I want everyone bobbing their heads, clapping their hands, and getting rip roarin' drunk. And it's puff-puff-pass, you greedy bastards.

[joannejkemp]

Hear not here!

[joannejkemp]

This is an absolute joy to listen to. It sounds how life would be in an ideal world. Can't you here the fire blazing?

[ytdcfjhvjvp0j]

...so no pagans who watched this yesterday made christmas jokes?

Shame.

[el52166]

Love it.

[Inexecutable]

This song is amazing! Check out my Cover for this song! I would really appreciate some feedback! Go to this channel and it's the only video ive uploaded, please let me know how i did/how i could improve!!

[ufo8mycat]

Four people prefer equinoxes.

[DetectiveGesicht]

wow, i haven't heard this in over 15 years... ha ha. it was thanks to The Rachel Maddow show that I got reminded of The Tea Party! (the band)

[TehKrakerzGuy]

I was looking for the fucking band named Winter Solstice

[earnhardtfanthree]

My Daddy and my dog....Bill and LadyBlue...I miss them so much...

[earnhardtfanthree]

Bad ass tune...sounds good on my Marantz HD880'S......Gottum backed up on a pair of Bose 201's...they're hooked to a Marantz SR930 with an ADC Sound Shaper Two...I love my unit.

[WSpaceCaptainW]

This is awesome! :) I also have an original song called Winter Solstice haha! nice!

[NewfieBullet76]

One of the coolest Tea Party songs. Can't wait for blues fest on July 14th...

[karnaltube]

Open your arms and embrarace Spring.

[ChronosAA]

I first kissed my girlfriend on Winter Solstice. Hopefully there's a music to describe everything I'm feeling right now.

[capnleslie]

Haven't heard this song before, really like it.

There is a distinct Led Zep feel to the song, but I don't agree that it rips off Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.

[earnhardtfanthree]

@capnleslie I don't think it's a ripoff either...like so many say..

Listen to some Leo Kottke too....he has a bunch of slide stuff unique to his style...

[AC97RBP]

That was so not Winter Solstice they didn't scream ripoff failer.

[nirjhor14101989]

loving the influence of Page in this one.

[Jkchunt]

I don't normally hate on videos, but this is a blatant ripoff of Bron-Yr-Aur by Zeppelin. Less organized, 38 seconds longer. Just saying. Go listen for yourselves.

[EyeLiek2Fish]

@Jkchunt I just had a listen, and I don't think so. This is actually quite different.

[NicePlaylist]

@Jkchunt And Zeppelin are a ripoff of EVERYONE else. Check out videos here on YT of how they stole songs by other artists.

[earnhardtfanthree]

@NicePlaylist A ripoff artist? How do you figure?

[earnhardtfanthree]

@NicePlaylist A ripoff artist? How do you figure? Milli non Vanilli????

[8bitZomB1E]

@NicePlaylist ,.. I never heard of Zeppelin being referred to as 'rip off artists'

even so. I do not resent bands that leach from other bands. I think it's a good thing. I mean. otherwise, according to you, Zeppelin wouldn't have had the music they have now. Which is definitely worthy of being here.

[PYSCOPOMP]

@8bitZomB1E They are their own, Never mind the haters that don't hear sound and can't listen to words.

[earnhardtfanthree]

@Jkchunt No not even....there are (such as myself) who have styles all are own!....some coincide with great artists who have great tastes in style...

[GreyLmx]

@Jkchunt You are so wrong.

[arthurandgwen]

My friend performed this song for school assembly and for once the whole school just shut the fuck up and listened to an awesome song :)

[Bobbybooshay08]

@arthurandgwen They are both completely different songs. Both uniquely good. I don't see a resemblance at all, except for maybe the fact that they are both performed on acoustic guitar lol

[andyabomb]

3 people listen to the 'music' of today.

[CoCaCharles]

haha so much Jimmy Page in this song it's ridiculous. Good tune.

[folklore84]

GBYWTKOTIS!!!

[craigbrando]

An absolutely gorgeous piece of orchestration by Jeff Martin! And along with "The Badger", "Sister Awake", and "Shadows on the Mountainside" show him to be one of Canada's greatest guitarists. I can't imagine ever tiring of listening to or playing these tunes.

Jeff - more PLEASE! :)

[daviddowns81]

as stated before this is the re-recorded version which appeared on "Splendor Solice", the origional appeared on the self released, self titled album... though this is my fave version out of the 2

[lcfpaintings]

amazing instrumentals WOW

[crackpotz1]

i'd say an original canadian.

[woo2fly21]

YEAAA

[sorathekinglolz]

anyone know how to get tab for the 6 string? ultimate-guitar isn't giving me much D:

[kingazzaman]

Apparently genius is required and after playing guitar for 20 years, I can confirm that you must be born with it.

I can grind out a fair approximation of this song but I doubt all the tabs in the world could help me.

Oh well, the world needs electricians too.

[slootboot]

Incredible... to see him play it live is amazing!

[yootoob975]

this songis DOPE AS FUCK

[Coldacre]

this is not the original though. the original was on the self titled album from 1991. beautiful song though.

[Zenex666]

Put it up. Never enough.

[fonna]

Beautiful song.

It combines all of the music of the world, during this time of year!

I love it.

[BoojumFed]

Such a killer track.

[pixxiedust]

My fave Tea Party song ever, I <3 Jeff Martin

[M0NSTERTW]

I love this so much.

[Zenex666]

Thank You
