[Verse 1]
Woke up starin’ at an old notepad,
Half a verse and a thought I had.
Same four chords and a cheap red pen,
Tryin’ to find that feelin’ again.
Ain’t got nothin’ left but time and strings,
Guess that’s where the truth still sings.

[Chorus]
Yeah, writin’ songs ’bout writin’ songs,
’Cause I ran outta women and things gone wrong.
Can’t fake the pain, can’t force the muse,
So I just write ’bout the truth.
Just… writin’ songs ’bout writin’ songs.

[Verse 2]
Every dream I’ve chased has paid in tabs,
Barroom lights and broken cabs.
Some nights hit, some fade away,
But I keep pickin’ what I can’t say.
If I ever get a hit, don’t blink—
It’s just another line in ink.

[Chorus]
Yeah, writin’ songs ’bout writin’ songs,
’Cause I ran outta women and things gone wrong.
Can’t fake the pain, can’t force the muse,
So I just write ’bout the truth.
Just… writin’ songs ’bout writin’ songs.

[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll find that spark,
Chase it down through the neon dark.
But ‘til that muse decides she calls,
I’ll be spillin’ my heart on these four walls.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Yeah, writin’ songs ’bout writin’ songs,
Still tryin’ to right what the world got wrong.
Can’t fake the pain, can’t force the muse,
So I just write ’bout the truth.
Just… writin’ songs ’bout writin’ songs.


Writin' Songs 'Bout Writin' Songs

Our take on “Runaway” reimagines Del Shannon’s timeless heartbreak through a cinematic country-rock lens where stormy skies, echoing guitars, and raw emotion collide on the open road.

We wanted to capture that same sense of loss and longing, the feeling of chasing something you’ll never quite catch.

It’s a tribute to the sound of a broken heart, honest, haunted, and wide open under the rain.

We hope you enjoy it just as much as we enjoyed making it. Please be sure to follow us here for more of our music.

Runaway

Every house has a heartbeat, every name has a tale,
And we carry all the colors from the soft to the frail.
Some shout like thunder, some whisper like the rain,
Some heal you when they’re near you, some remind you of old pain.

You grow up learning patterns you never chose to learn,
From silent ones who love you to the ones who crash and burn.
And you stand there in the doorway, tryin’ to make it through—
That's the price of being tied to a catch-22.

Cause kinfolks' a wildfire, a warm and dangerous flame—
It’ll light up all your darkness, it’ll burn you just the same.
It’s love you can’t untangle and storms you can’t outrun,
It’s the burden and the blessing of where you all come from.
Yeah, we’re raised by contradictions, but somehow we pull through—
That’s the heart of every family’s catch-22.

One believes in scripture, one believes in none,
One prays for brighter mornings, one’s still hiding from the sun.
And you try to understand them, though their roads don’t look like yours,
But love ain’t built on matching—it’s built on open doors.

So you take the good and broken, all the fragile, all the strong,
All the stories that conflicted, all the rights that felt so wrong.
And you hold ’em in your conscience like a truth you always knew—
We’re not meant to think the same, just meant to make it through.

Cause familys' a wildfire, a warm and dangerous flame—
It’ll light up all your darkness, it’ll burn you just the same.
From the quiet ones to the bold ones, the tender and the true,
They shape you while they shake you, and somehow that’s the glue.
Yeah, we’re stitched with contradictions, but that’s what families do—
Living in the middle of that same catch-22.

Family's Catch-22

A playful, sunlit folk-blues story about Tom Sawyer’s unstoppable spirit.
The song captures whitewash mornings, barefoot mischief, clever tricks, and the joy of being a restless boy in a sleepy Southern town.

“The Man Who Wrote the River” is a literary folk-Americana cycle inspired by the timeless world of Mark Twain.
Each song unfolds like a chapter — a journey through childhood, freedom, danger, home, memory, and the river that shaped an entire generation.

The album travels through sunlit classrooms, nighttime caves, haunted graveyards, lonely islands and dusty small-town kitchens, following the footsteps of Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Becky Thatcher, Jim, Aunt Polly, Indian Joe, and the people who carry the weight of justice and sorrow.

Blending warm acoustic guitars, folk-blues textures, Southern Gothic shadows and Mississippi atmospheres, the music captures the spirit of a world where innocence meets darkness, and where every story is carried forward by the river.

The final track pays tribute to the man who gave these stories life —
Mark Twain, the writer who turned water into memory, childhood into myth, and the river into something eternal.

This album is a journey through light and shadow, through dreams and danger —
and through the river that never stops flowing.

The Man Who Wrote The River

Tom Sawyer’s Song (Whitewash Blues)

هذه المجموعة تأخذك إلى قلب الموسيقى التي رافقت شعوب أمريكا الجنوبية في لحظات المواجهة والصمود. أصوات مثل مرسيدس سوسا، فيكتور خارا، خورخي كافروني وغيرهم لم تكن مجرد فنانين؛ كانوا شهودًا على زمنٍ حاولت فيه الشعوب أن تُثبِت وجودها أمام قوةٍ أكبر منها.

وعندما نستمع إلى هذه الموسيقى اليوم، ندرك شيئًا أبعد من سياقها المحلي: أنّ كل نضال في العالم يرتبط بآخر، وأن تجارب المقاومة تتقاطع مهما بَعُدت الجغرافيا. من فلسطين التي واجهت ولا تزال تواجه الاستعمار، إلى حركات التحرر في أفريقيا، إلى نضالات آسيا، وصولًا إلى أمريكا الجنوبية… جميعها تقف في مواجهة الشكل نفسه من القمع، وإن اختلفت الوجوه واللغات.

هذه الأغاني ليست فقط جزءًا من تاريخ منطقة معيّنة؛ هي امتداد لصوت عالمي يقف ضد الطغيان، ويبحث عن العدالة، ويرفض أن تُمحى هوية الشعوب. في هذا السِت ستسمع موسيقى تحمل ذاكرة مشتركة: ذاكرة الشعوب التي قاومت، دفعت ثمنًا، وما زالت تُغنّي.

إنها تذكير بأن المقاومة ليست فكرة محصورة بمكان، بل مسار إنساني طويل… وأن صوت الحرية واحد، مهما تغيّرت الأرض التي يخرج منها.

This set brings together the voices that shaped the spirit of South American resistance. Artists like Mercedes Sosa, Víctor Jara, Jorge Cafrune, and others didn’t just make music — they documented a moment in history when people stood against forces far larger than themselves.

Listening today, it becomes clear that these songs belong to something wider than their own region. Across time and geography, the struggles of oppressed peoples echo one another. From Palestinian resistance, to liberation movements across Africa, to the long fights for dignity in Asia, and to the defiant spirit of South America — each carries the imprint of a shared confrontation with imperialism and the systems that seek to erase identity and silence communities.

This music is part of that global story. It represents voices that refused to disappear, cultures that insisted on surviving, and people who turned their pain and hope into sound.

As you enter this set, expect songs that are simple yet weighty—melodies built on truth, memory, and the understanding that resistance anywhere is connected to resistance everywhere. This is music that reminds us that the fight for freedom is universal… and that its voice carries across continents.

موسيقى وخبار

كما يكشف الستيريوسكوب عن العمق والأبعاد، منصتنا تكشف عن طبقات من القصص والأصوات، تتقاطع وتتشابك لتخلق تجربة موسيقية غنية. وُلد في العالم العربي كإثبات وجود صوتي، ليكون مساحة للموسيقيين للتعبير، للمقاومة، وللتأمل—أحيانًا عن قصد وأحيانًا فقط لأن الأمر يستحق ذلك.

في الداخل، ستجد جلسات جاز حيّة من زوايا غير متوقعة، مقاطع راب خامّة من شوارع السودان، وأشرطة إيقاعية تمزج الثقافات، وكل ما هو بينهما. هنا تتلاشى الأنماط، تذوب الحدود، ويحمل كل مقطوعة قصتها الخاصة. استمع، اشعر، ودع الموسيقى تكشف عن أبعادها.


Like a stereoscope reveals depth and perspective, our platform uncovers layers of stories and sounds, intersecting and intertwining to create a rich musical experience. Born in the Arab world as a sonic proof of existence, it’s a space for musicians to explore, resist, and reflect—sometimes with intention, sometimes just for the f**k of it.

Inside, you’ll find live jazz sessions from unexpected corners, raw verses from the streets of Sudan, hypnotic beat tapes that blend cultures, and everything in between. Genres blur, borders dissolve, and every track tells its own story. Tune in, listen deeply, and let the music reveal its layers.

I’m JD Hodge — Oklahoma-born, red dirt-raised, and songwriting for over 30 years.

In 2024, I flatlined on an operating table. Cardiac arrest. Everything changed.

When I came back, the words came with me — like they’d been waiting their turn. Since then, the songs haven’t stopped. I write what’s real: struggle, hope, grit, and grace — stories meant to be felt.

You’ll hear pieces of my past, my people, and the kind of heartland truth you can’t fake. These songs aren’t just mine — they’re for anyone who’s fought through silence and still found a voice.

Hadley began composing music at the age of 12, blending curiosity with raw creativity at a time when songwriting tools were limited to pen, paper, and instinct. From those early beginnings, Hadley developed a lifelong knack for turning life’s moments—both big and small—into captivating tracks and songs that resonate across generations.
