    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

Wouldn't you love to time travel? Good news: you already are!! You're speeding into the future and out of the past at a more-or-less constant rate of 24 hours a day! How cool?! Introducing the time traveler's paradox: we wish to be in the future or past, but we're already there! We constantly think about what we did, or what we want to do, what we're going to do. But rarely do we travel HERE to the present moment! The biggest time travel trick: be here now!

lyrics

“Jump into my time machine,” he said
See all of time and space before you head to bed
We'll explore the history, the past
To the well known milestones or the lost memories so vast

We can rewrite history
Be the puppet masters, write our own story
Crack open a history book and you'll find
A blank, white canvas, c'mon, we've got a universe to write

Who doesn't want to see the glimpses of the past?
Hold the keys to history

“Jump into my time machine,” he said
See all of time and space before you head to bed
We'll explore the future, the skies
See the great advancements or humanity's demise

We can know the future unknown
Meet the future world president, through the stars with her we’d roam
Bring back all the knowledge of time
Obtain all the wisdom, All the answers to life

Who doesn't want to see the glimpses of the future?
Hold the keys to the mysteries

Hold on one minute I said
Stop a second, catch a breath, And just use your head
I'll be the first to say
Jumping through time and space Sounds like a cool way to spend a day

But how can we handle such a thing?
When we all struggle with Being here, present today
We're too busy dwelling in our past
Thinking 'bout what all we did, Wallowing in regret
And hoping for what might await
Dreaming about what lies ahead, we forget about today

How can we hope to see, the future or the past
When we ignore reality
Open our eyes to right now, notice where we stand
The present in the palm of your hand

We hold the key to the locks
The time traveler's paradox
We don't need no time machine
No future, no history
Just open our eyes and just breathe
The present moment for you and me
