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.

Stick Figure Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

lay down the foundation, lay down the line
it's another situation, don't know wrong from right
I want to be all alone
keeping you by my side
I want be all alone
keeping you satisfied
why the frustration? put it all aside
fight the temtation, keep the right state of mind

move forward always even when your feeling bad
and words don't go away, there going right to your head
I want to be there but cannot be there today
I want to see you, but there aint no other way
I want to be all alone
keeping you by my side
I want be all alone
keeping u satisfied

no, you are not alone
no, you are not alone
no, you are not alone
no, you are not alone

feel the vibration, rise up it's time
another generation, keeping this vibe alive
Don't let it fall apart
Don't let it fall apart
"Give me the bass" (feat Willy Woodruff)

everyone move everyone get down,
keep the vibes alive
believe in the sound,
keepin' the vibe alive
and I think and I think you know,
the vibe alive
I think, think you know
every single day, in every single way

everyone move everyone get down
keepin' the vibe alive
words get tossed around
keepin' the vibe alive

and I think and I think you know
the vibes alive
