When it comes to providing help to those in need, you can always count on musicians to do their part. To help communities impacted by the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, some of today's hottest bands have joined together with Global Green USA to release a benefit compilation entitled "Gasoline Rainbows," out on November 30th through Roark Records. "Gasoline Rainbows" will be available exclusively as a digital download.

The compilation was brought together by actress Sophia Bush and actor Austin Nichols, most well known for their roles on the television show One Tree Hill. Sophia and Austin travelled, with Global Green, to Grand Isle, Louisiana, to visit the beaches and see the devastation wrought by the Deepwater Horizon spill first hand. Moved by the stretches of oil along the once-beautiful beaches, as well as the devastation to the wildlife, they decided to help in whatever way they could, and this compilation is a direct result of that.

100% of the artist and label proceeds from "Gasoline Rainbows" will be used for Global Green's oil spill response to directly assist the communities, people, and ecosystems impacted by the BP Oil Spill, educate the public, push for more regulation (to ensure a tragedy like this never happens again) and advocate for a greener, cleaner economy.

"Gasoline Rainbows" will include material by some of the most popular names in music, alongside new up-and-coming talents. The compilation will include music by LCD Soundsystem, Phoenix, Silversun Pickups, Vampire Weekend, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, amongst others.

Not only will the compilation feature incredible tracks by the aforementioned artists, but it will contain three brand new, previously unreleased tracks as well. Singer-songwriters Amy Kuney, Damien Rice and City and Colour will all be providing never before heard material for the compilation.

LYRICS:
Wherever the rain goes…
It leaves gasoline rainbows
On the water it looks beautiful
But tragic when the waves have parted
If we disappear
Who gets the souvenir
Or sees the outline of the trees that won't be there
Once the machines have started

Chorus:
I don't want to wait
I don't want to sit and hope
I don't want to tell you
Don't want to tell you
Tell you I told you so…

So prove me wrong
And don't just let it go
I don't want to watch
So I can tell you,
Tell you I told you so…
Tell you I told you so...

It was chemical
It was magical
And when it hit the light
It pleased the eyes
Who knew it could be so fatal
Yesterday…
Is miles and miles away
We took a picture to remind us
That today we are caught in the middle

Chorus x2

I'm not gonna wait
I'm not gonna sit and hope
I'm not gonna tell you
Not gonna tell you
Tell you I told you so

So prove me wrong
And don't just let it go
I'm not gonna tell you
Not gonna tell you
Tell you I told you so

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna sit and hope
I don't wanna tell you
Don't wanna tell you
Tell you I told you so

Wherever the rain goes
Leaves gasoline rainbows
On the water it looks beautiful
On the water it looks beautiful
