Summer Gallery is the first part of a three part album: Share in the Creation, being made around the world throughout 2010. It's by Austin Washington (that's me!) + The World.
I mean that quite literally.
Music, anthropologists tell us, existed before speech. There is a reason hearing music live is a TOTALLY different experience than hearing recorded music...and there's a reason "perfect" music sounds so imperfect. Inhuman music is not music...whereas music made in an environment of thousands FEELS different.
These songs are made in an environment of 6 billion people - quite literally.
These songs exist specifically, on the superficial level, because loads of people far more talented that me have contributed to their recording! ;) But as they are my songs, I can tell you they would not exist without you, and they sound the way they sound because of you, and they feel the way they feel because of you.
Music is an interactive form of communication, and although these songs are recorded music - they are the reflections of my actual life - and therefore your lives, all the people I feel the spirits of - through commenting on my FB page, to falling in love with, and everything in between! These songs reflect you.
The "rap" section of Share in the Creation was made in the home of the Secretary to the Vice President of Sicily. I can't compute how that place led to those words ;0 - I just said them, spoke them, "rapped'" them - but the energy of being there, the energy of my friends in Italy...made the music I made there.
And this is true with all my music...it is GENUINELY made by Austin Washington + THE WORLD. That means YOU. It's not flattery, it's absolutely true...

Share in the Creation
by Austin Washington
There was a man who said he wasn't good enough
To hit a middle C
I said, "If you sing another note
It's just a harmony" [This verse was cut from the song]
And there he sat with his head in the clouds
Until he found he could sing with the crowds
You've got to share in the creation
You've got to share in the creation
You've got to share in the creation
And let it flow all around the world
There is a time before the time that starts
At the pearly gates
Some say they want to wait for heaven
I say "Heaven just can't wait - if you sing"
And there he sat with his head in the clouds
Until he found he could sing with the crowds
You've got to share in the creation
You've got to share in the creation
You've got to share in the creation
And let it flow all around the world
Back in Woodstock
They had the good stock
Running through their brains
If they could only see us now
Do you think they'd go insane?
All the peace and love shit
They used to have
Seems a little gay [in the Southparkian sense!] ;)
But maybe it's just a little better
Than the gang-land shit today.
I once saw a scarecrow
Said he needed a brain
But as soon as he got one
I knew he'd go insane
I was like the Tin Man
Said I needed a heart
But as soon as I got one
You tore my world apart
I was your wizard
I said "Take me home,"
But as soon as I got there
Yeah, I had to roam
I said I was your wizard
"Take me home"
But as soon as I got there
Yeah, I had to roam.
You've got to share...
You've got to share...
You've got to share...
And let it flow...all around the world.
You've got to share in the creation
You've got to share in the creation
You've got to share in the creation
And let it flow all around the world...

Little Prince's Rose
by Austin Washington
When I see you in my dreams
I know the world’s more than it seems
You’re the wind that moves the flowers
You’re the time that holds back the hours
You’re the shine in the starshine
You’re the sparkle in a diamond mine
You’re the tide that moves the sea
You move the world at least to me…
Down jammin'
Down the street
Saw the kind of girl
That I wanted to meet
But I didn't have a clue
How to make an approach
Cuz the last girlfriend
Made me feel like a roach
You're the kind of girl
That I wanted around
Couldn't open my mouth
Couldn't make a sound
Then I got smart
I didn't need to drink
I didn't need to blink
I didn't even think
Ho ho ho
Gotta gotta go
Gotta gotta go
Gotta gotta go
Gotta say hello
Then I got smart
I didn't need to drink
I didn't need to blink
I didn't even think
etc.
I once had a heart
I once had a soul
Then you went away
I once had a dream
Deep in my heart
Now there is no day...
When I see you in my dreams
I know the world’s more than it seems
You’re the wind that moves the flowers
You’re the time that holds back the hours
You’re the shine in the starshine
You’re the sparkle in a diamond mine
You’re the tide that moves the sea
You move the world at least to me…
(etc)

Miss You (Before You're Gone)
by Austin Washington
I miss you...
If my whole life ever ends up rotten
I won't forget you
The things that you do
I miss you...
Before you're gone
Cuz our memories won't be forgotten
The things that you do
I won't forget you
I love you so much
But a song's not your touch
But these memories will never leave me
You're here in my soul
You're making life whole
I miss you
I miss you
Before you're gone.

Need a Little Love
by Austin Washington
Came back after 2,000 years but
Nothin' much had changed
Things are pretty much as they were then
Though on the surface they have rearranged
Still need a little love
Aw love
That's all that's missing now
Eh love
Aw love
Little more than just kissing now
I could fly to the moon
In a rocket ship
And I could taste the moonlit stars
Or I could sit and drink
In a club that's hip
And make all of my friends in bars
Still need a little love (love)
Aw love (love)
That's all that's missing now
Yeah love (love)
Aw love (love)
A little more than just kissing now
Sit here watchin' the world go 'round
And it's spinning right out of control
I sit here watchin' the sun go down
Is it setting on the whole world's soul?
Still need a little love (love)
Aw love (love)
That's all that's missing now
Love (love)
Yeah Love (love)
Little more than just kissing now..
