    Bran returns with his 3rd studio album. "The King of Dreams" takes us on an exploration of the world of dreams. Hop aboard Selene's crescent moon ship and set your dream-filled sails as "Dreams" peeks behind the star-spotted veil of the night.

    The title track introduces you to the Sand Man, the King himself, who takes you along down the Moonbeam Road to show you the realm of the Fae, through time and space, up into the clouds, and even under the bed where the ghosts and ghouls dwell!

    Bran adds a few new flavors to his unique pagan folk sound with a few ethereal, fun twists amply scattered through the album.

about

There are so many stories of the Fae Realm, and many warnings not to get stuck there! Whether they say not to eat fairy food or step into a fairy circle, legends around the world tell of the dangers of getting stuck forever into the land of the fairies! But...why is that a bad thing?

lyrics

I went a walking one summer's day, where I found a forest where I could escape
From the city's loud and industrious ways. That's when I met the Fae

They danced around me with wings all a flutter, and took my hand before I could utter
They begged and they pleaded, “Please will you kind sir come with us into our world.”

(chorus)
They said: We mean you no ill, we just want to play
We're just little innocent fairy fae
We'll feed you Fae food and we'll love you 'til dawn
And then we'll send you on home

I've read one or two books in my time, and I had a good guess that this was a lie
That when they would take me to the realm of the Fae, there I would stay...forever!

I stood my ground and I crossed my arms, but they insisted to me that they meant me know harm
They twirled in their dresses of silver and white and danced in the wind like a kite

chorus

They promised me they'd love me and they'd take good care to return me home without a scuff or a tear
And I wanted to believe them, they were so cute, but they had a reputation to boot (and it wasn't a good one)

I told them, “I know of your traps and your tricks,” but they wiped away their tears and continued to insist
“We're no evil gnomes! No hairy trolls!” With grace and with laughter and magic untold

chorus

They offered me bites of delicious sweets, offered me kisses and promised me treats,
They tickled my feet and danced on my head, and I forgot what I had read (what did I read?)

Their giggles contagious like a bad cold, their smiles outrageously beautiful
Their magical music got my feet tapping, and even before I knew what had happened

I joined in their dancing, I wanted to play
With the innocent little fairy Fae
I ate their Fae food and loved them 'til dawn
And I didn't want to go home

I enjoy in their dancing, I delight in their play
With the innocent little fairy Fae
How did I not want to go with them
To the realm of the fairies, to my new home!
