Backstory:
Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Austin, Texas, Wavy Book was formed in 2014 when three high school friends; frontman Jake Haywood, drummer Matt Sullivan, and bassist Kevin Lynch decided to blend their love for music into a unified sound. All three members embarked on their musical journey, initially playing at local bars and small venues. After a chance encounter with a music producer at a local gig, the band was signed to an independent record label, giving them the platform they needed to share their unique sound with a broader audience.

Title:
“Paper Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] When we were young and [G] bright, under the [F] neon lights
[Am] We had our paper dreams and [G] starry nights, [F]
[Am] Scribbled hearts on the [G] corner, in a time that was [F] warmer
[Am] In the pages of life, we were [G] fighters, [F]
(Chorus)
[C] In our wavy book of [G] dreams,
[C] We wrote tales of love and color [G] themes,
[F] Underneath the moon’s soft [G] beams,
[Am] We lived and breathed our [G] Paper Dreams, [F]
(Verse 2)
[Am] Stories woven in [G] ink, in a blink of an [F] eye,
[Am] Where love was the link, under the [G] Texas sky, [F]
[Am] Pages turned, chapters [G] closed, but the book never [F] posed,
[Am] For in the heart of the beholder, the [G] story unfolds, [F]
(Chorus)
[C] In our wavy book of [G] dreams,
[C] We painted worlds with summer [G] streams,
[F] With hopes as high as sky’s [G] beams,
[Am] We lived and breathed our [G] Paper Dreams, [F]
Testimonial:
Meet Lily Scott, Wavy Book’s most ardent fan. “Wavy Book is more than just a band to me. Their music is the sonic embodiment of a warm hug or a comforting conversation with an old friend. I’ve been following them since their early days of playing gigs at small bars in Austin. What I love about them, apart from their enchanting melodies, is their authenticity. Their lyrics feel intensely personal and universal at the same time. ‘Paper Dreams’, my favorite track, is the perfect example of their ability to craft songs that resonate on a deep level. Listening to it feels like leafing through the pages of my own life. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Wavy Book.”
