At the heart of “Everybody’s Battling Something” is a simple truth. Everybody’s carrying something, even when it doesn’t show. The song appears as the tenth track on ‘Parts Work’ by @mechanicalriver, the recording project of Joel T. Hamilton. The track moves with an easy swing, drifting along on a bouncing piano line on the album. For this live session, Hamilton is joined by Jeff Caldwell, reworking the song on acoustic guitars. The shift brings the performance closer, unveiling the song in an intimate, direct light. Filmed in front of the “I Love My Friends” mural at the former Hunter-Gatherer building on South Main Street, the session took place just weeks before the site’s demolition in June 2025. Against that backdrop, the song’s message feels especially resonant. by @mechanicalriver

Gracious New Year lovely people real and artificial. Im growing to accept this passing of time experience. I think. They say growth comes in many forms. I grow out my hair to make room for my brane. Which needs space to keep all these dimensions in tact. How are you i love you. I have a lot of songs that I am excited to share and Im all but promising a minimum of 20 to be released in 2025. More details on that very soon! Keep kindness and be well please. by @mechanicalriver

Hey music heads. There are a few MR videos that slipped thru the cracks over the years/never seen the light of day. I made this one with Chris Byler in NYC one summer. Hope you enjoy it. We had fun making it. Find it in its entirety by searching you tube. The song is called Pentagrate. 🙏 by @mechanicalriver
