    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

The mind is like a garden: You cultivate what you fertilize, and if negative cucumbers pop up, throw 'em in the compost and use it as fertilizer for positive tomatoes!

lyrics

I got grass stains on my knees, and dirt under my nails
I’ve been busy just planting those seeds, I don’t know what that entails

I recall sometime last fall round harvest time last year
I was a skittish little scarecrow when harvest time drew near

I’ve got positive tomatoes growing right off the vine
And a few negative cucumbers, but that’s just fine
Cuz even though they like to say you reap what you sow
What you don’t end up needing gets tossed in the compost

Ears of corn just barely born tasting of jealousy
Radishes with that spiteful bite, I shouldn’t have planted those seeds

Avocados of optimism growing on that ol’ tree
Enough sweet peas of inner peace to choke the weeds of misery

I’ve got positive tomatoes growing right off the vine
And a few negative cucumbers, but that’s just fine
Cuz even though they like to say you reap what you sow
What you don’t end up needing gets tossed in the compost

Spicy peppers of petty disputes, sarcastic garlic and onions so rude
Sweeeeet potatoes of love

Squash that just wants to make a fuss, carrots that daydream
Enthusiastic rhubarb, lettuce of tranquility

I’ve got positive tomatoes growing right off the vine
And a few negative cucumbers, but that’s just fine
Cuz even though they like to say you reap what you sow
What you don’t end up needing gets tossed in the compost

Spending those days out under the sun pulling up all those roots
Can cause your back quite an ache, but ain’t that just old news

Cuz nothing comes quite that easy in the Garden of the Mind
Thorns and stickers, flowers and seeds, they’re just one of a kind

I’ve got positive tomatoes growing right off the vine
And a few negative cucumbers, but that’s just fine
Cuz even though they like to say you reap what you sow
What you don’t end up needing gets tossed in the compost
