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 ↴
oh there she goes, I said you think but you don't know
this may be the best day of your life
said those are the words and the words that I live by
and everybody's talking, but they got nothing to say
there's a time, there's reason and purpose and a place
I don't know how to say this, but girl you got me thinking
spilling your heart, you cannot fill up
I said i thought this was the last time, you said you'd had enough
{}
oh there she goes, walking the same old country road
oh there she goes, I said you think but you don't know
lords knows I got everything I need
I got soul, I got rhythm, got a dog I got my guitar
take a deep breath, and feel the air you're breathing,
it gives life it's rhythm and it comes from the trees
and I can't stop the time, lords knows you can't either
time it is your friend, time it is the healer
forward always, keep the wheels in motion
maybe that's why I like living by the ocean
{}
when you got nothing you got nothing to lose
when you got something, there's something to choose
one cup empty and the other is full
never let nobody get the best of you
lord you must forgive me if I go insane
life it keeps you guessing and some people change
our love, it never dies it remains the same
I wish I could say it but I can't say
The first verse of the song describes a woman walking down the same old country road, and the singer observes that she thinks about something but without any knowledge. The lines "this may be the best day of your life, said those are the words and the words that I live by" represents optimism, and the singer has a positive outlook on life. He believes that this might be the best day of one's life, so it's important to live each moment to the fullest.
The second verse speaks about how the singer has everything he needs in life, such as soul, rhythm, guitar, and a dog. He urges the listener to take a deep breath and feel the air they breathe, which comes from the trees and provides life's rhythm. The singer believes that one cannot stop time and that it's essential that we keep moving forward, and that's why he lives by the ocean.
The chorus repeats "oh there she goes, walking the same old country road, oh there she goes, I said you think but you don't know," which implies that the woman is still walking down the same path, but the singer knows that deep down, she doesn't know what she's doing.

I lost my brother unexpectedly and these guys brought me back to life and gave me that little bit of hope I needed. They some how always make life feel like it’s going to be ok. Ohh and I love living by the ocean... east coast listening...

I lost my brother to a brain tumor 24 years ago. I wish Stick Figure would have been around back then cause I feel the same about them as you do. The spirit lives on, and you will never forget him so long as he's in your heart like y brother is in mine. I've been surfing for the both us since he's been gone. Keep the good vibes going and may G-d bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
