Backstory:
Natural Supporter was formed in 2004 by a group of friends in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Originally born from a love of music and a mutual respect for each other’s unique talents, they played gigs at local bars and clubs, finding their musical voice and chemistry. They quickly gained a local following through their infectious energy and distinctive sound. Today, Natural Supporter is composed of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Michael “Mickey” Ward, lead guitarist Lily Parker, bassist Raul Sanchez, and drummer Peter Carlson.
Their big break came in 2008 when a talent scout happened upon one of their performances. Their raw talent and unique energy captivated him, leading to a contract with a well-known record label. The rest is history, with Natural Supporter now being a band recognized for their unique blend of music and their strong, meaningful lyrics.

Title:
“Driftwood Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Standing on the shore, [C] watching waves roll by,
[Em] Driftwood on the sand, [D] under twilight sky.
[G] Picking up the pieces, [C] of long forgotten dreams,
[Em] Shaped by the ocean, [D] torn at the seams.
(Chorus)
[G] Driftwood dreams, [C] washed up on the shore,
[Em] Carrying stories, [D] of life’s highs and more.
[G] Driftwood dreams, [C] weathered by the storm,
[Em] Hold on to them, [D] let them keep you warm.
(Verse 2)
[G] Each piece a memory, [C] Each grain a song,
[Em] Telling tales of love, [D] of rights and wrong.
[G] In the heart of the decaying, [C] life begins anew,
[Em] Driftwood dreams, [D] they will guide you through.
(Chorus)
[G] Driftwood dreams, [C] washed up on the shore,
[Em] Carrying stories, [D] of life’s highs and more.
[G] Driftwood dreams, [C] weathered by the storm,
[Em] Hold on to them, [D] let them keep you warm.
