Possessing a unique style of music that combines a creative blend of upbeat roots reggae with the reverberating echoes of dub, comes a man with no limit for his musical abilities. Stick Figure's music is written, recorded, and produced by Scott Woodruff, a young man from Duxbury, MA.
All of Stick Figure's songs are made by recording each instrument separately, layering several tracks on top of one another in unison.
Stick Figure recently relocated to Southern California and has picked up three new members for the live band, Brendan Dane (San Diego) on bass, Todd Smith (San Clemente) on drums and Kevin Bong (San Diego) on keys. All are incredible musicians and are surely a great addition to the Stick Figure sound. The band is currently in the process of recording their first debut album together, expecting to drop this Winter.

Stick Figure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i want to get away from this place
home is not where i want to be
not today, take me away
i am on my way
12 hours on a plane
in a short time i'll be on my away
lone, all alone
i flew out by myself to meet my friends
from there, we got into a van
there was reggae on the radio
you have no idea
you have no idea
this is life
land-man know, he's there
he knows, he's there
long, so long
i've been out on the road
it's not for me
and all, all i want to do is leave
but not today, take me away
well i am on my way
to an island on the sea
i will escape and lord i be will free
free, so free from this place, from this place
i love this world and all it can do for me
i love this world and all it can do for me
but i know, he's there
but i know, he's there
this is life
this is life
land-man knows, he's there
lord i know, he's there
In this song, "Hawaii Song," Stick Figure expresses a strong desire to escape from his current environment, which he feels is not where he belongs. He wants to get away and travel to Hawaii, a place where he feels he can find freedom and escape from the monotony of his life. He is willing to take a 12-hour plane ride to get there, and even though he initially traveled alone, he eventually meets up with friends and experiences the joy of a carefree, reggae-filled road trip. The refrain of "this is life" reinforces the idea that escaping to Hawaii is what life is all about for Stick Figure.
The chorus, with the repetition of "land-man knows, he's there," possibly refers to a sense of connection to the earth and nature that Stick Figure feels in Hawaii. By escaping to Hawaii, he is not only escaping his current life but also reconnecting with this deeper sense of being. The overall message of the song is one of finding a place where you belong and experiencing a sense of freedom and joy.
