The Tea Party reached outside the band for "The Messenger", their take on a Daniel Lanois song, which landed on TRIPtych in 1999. Lanois, a fellow Canadian, wrote the words and music and had used it to open his own album, For the Beauty of Wynona.
Jeff Martin produced and recorded the Tea Party's version and mixed it with Nick Blagona, while Don Hachey and George Pelekoudis engineered and Martin Ruel assisted. In Canada it went out as a promotional single, and it got a video too, shot in Toronto with George Vale directing.
