about
Imagine a beautiful garden with colorful flowers, where all the people you love are gathered together, playing and listening to music, singing and dancing. While writing and recording this song in Austin, Texas, we focussed on the warm vocal harmonies and the playfulness of the instruments.
lyrics
It's like playing at a garden party
Hanging around
When you feel like
Singing in the sun
Running through the sprinklers
Sing out loud
Summer has begun
A garden party
Hanging around
I feel like
Dancing in the street
Running through the sprinklers
Sing out loud
And move your feet
Every day you follow the flow
To see the friends that make you grow
So much love
And so much care
Pouring out from everywhere
All the steps we had to take
To keep the promise we won't ever break
It's like playing at a garden party
Hanging around
When you feel like
Singing in the sun
Running through the sprinklers
Sing out loud
Summer has begun
A garden party
Hanging around
I feel like
Dancing in the street
Running through the sprinklers
Sing out loud
The sun may shine
The rain may fall
Open your heart, embrace it all
The time is right
The night is sweet
Moving around in just the right beat
All the steps that we still take
To keep the promise we won't break
We won't break
It's like playing at a garden party
Hanging around
When you feel like
Singing in the sun
Running through the sprinklers
Sing out loud
Summer has begun
A garden party
Hanging around
It's like dancing
It's like dancing in the street
Running through the sprinklers
Sing out loud
And move your feet
Garden party
Move your feet - sing out loud
Sing out loud - sing out loud
Garden party
Hanging around - sing out loud
Hanging around - sing out loud - garden party
Hanging around - sing out loud
Hanging around - sing out loud

Bart de Win and Arianne Knegt create songs about love and life on the hippie side of country, involving their musical
friends from all over the world. They record them in a pure and honest manner, always letting the essence and character of the song prevail. The USA-Netherlands connection is vividly present, both in the choice of the musicians they work with and the overall americana atmosphere....more
