    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

Sometimes after a scary movie, you go to bed convinced something is lurking behind the curtains or under your bed. Sometimes you leave the light on! Maybe ghosts are real, but let's face it, it's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts!

lyrics

Yesterday I went to sleep, or I should say I tried
I watched a scary movie, I think I may have cried

As I lay alone in my bed, wide awake in the dark
Demons ran through my head, could I just remark

It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts

I wake up in a sweat, I pant and I shake
Convinced my death was eminent , even while awake

Somewhere down below, underneath my bed
Lay a greenish, grayish goblin, or perhaps some living dead

It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
I tried counting sheep, but what I feared the most
Oh it's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts

I got up out of bed and I turned on all the lights
And then and only then I felt sort of right

But in the flickering light of the lamp, I fsaw what I feared most
Standing right before me was a great big ghost

It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
I tried counting sheep, but what I feared the most
Oh it's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts

When the fear had left my mind, and also the terror
I suddenly realized I'd screamed at a mirror

Who, then, is to blame for such a foolish fright?
Too much TV and ghost stories or such a gullible mind?

It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
It's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
I tried counting sheep, but what I feared the most
Oh it's easier to sleep when you don't believe in ghosts
