Lyrics: 
In a world full of material things, that promise you a better life
In a world full of words that mean nothing at all
Stop for a minute and think it through
Shake a little loose , only you

can stop the superficial around you
you may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier
Or do you need something else?

Do you need a bigger house
Do you need a new car?
Do material things really define who you are?

Just stop for a minute 
and think it trough
shake a little loose, only you 

can stop the superficial around you
You may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier, og do you need something else?

You better stop

Stop for a minute and think it trough
Shake a little loose, only you

Can stop the superficial around you
You may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier
Or do you need something else?

You can hide behind your things
But you can't hide who you are
You can hide behind your words
But they doesn't make you real

Just Stop for a minute and think it trough
Shake a little loose, only you

Can stop the superficial around you
You may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier
Or do you need something else?

You better stop....

Destinations by BrainStorm is a captivating musical journey that beautifully captures the intricate process of an airplane's descent. This track signifies the end of our current BrainStorm Operations aviation cycle and our music production for the time being.

I found my way back in the winter of 2023, navigating through one of the toughest periods of my life.

During that time, I poured my heart into creating music, built meaningful connections, and was embraced by an amazing wave of support from you, my fellow passengers on this journey. I sought help for my PTSD, and by the summer of 2024, I returned to my cherished role as a guardian. So, I leave you with this musical destination

The composition takes listeners on a journey, much like pilots making constant adjustments to ensure the right speed and descent rate. It opens with a gentle soundscape that reflects the tranquility of being in the air, gradually intensifying to mirror the careful calculations pilots undertake. 

Our protagonist, Keith, embarks on a transformative journey as a musician, recognizing the impact of intensity and mastering the nuances of musical expression. By weaving melodies into his drumming, he elevates his artistry and enriches his performances, captivating audiences and finding joy in the process. 

Likewise, Destinations embodies the essence of descent, echoing the pilots' ongoing adjustments and offering listeners a rich, immersive experience. With its evolving sound layers and dynamic textures, the piece reflects the skill and adaptability pilots demonstrate during flight.

The composition's climax captures the early moments of descent, conveying the precision and control needed to navigate the aircraft with finesse. Destinations offers a unique and immersive experience, celebrating the mastery of pilots who guide their craft with grace and accuracy.

**Behind the Song:**

At its heart, this piece sees Keith honing the art of crescendo, the build-up, and the pivotal moments, masterfully executed from the "other side" of the drums.

As we conclude this cycle that began in November 2023 and reached its destination in late June 2024, we temporarily close the door on future BrainStorm tracks. But rest assured, we can always drop back in and pick up right where we left off.

Destinations

Beet It Back-Mostly Acoustic Version

Waiting

Sherbet Interlude

The story behind this one is that Rob Ulysses of Archmage Band often has a reoccurring dream setting that he calls the "Macabre Coast".

We tried out a new style for this one, a darker more ambient approach with slow, heavy and steady beats and haunting synth bells.

This song is a theme song for our game in progress of the same name. We hope that you like the result when it's ready.

Synth work by @rob-ulysses and @masha-solo, Lyrics by Masha and Craig Conley of Neons Gone Mad @prof-oddfellow, Vocals by Michael Warwick of Neons Gone Mad and Masha, additional ocean sfx, Tesla Spirit Radio sfx, and production by Neons Gone Mad

More versions of this track are in the works. We'll post it as an EP when those versions are finalised.

Lyrics:

Recurring dreams
Of foreshores

Galloping foam
White horses

Mercury depths
Sorcerer's

Rime, as in hoarfrost
Wizened verses

As I watch the ocean's waves breaking through,
I ponder what such ancient waters must know
Witness valuable scenes far beyond the ship’s bow
While my own vague accounts may be false when anew
For what knows the ocean, and so much of it true,
Humankind bears no proof and the ocean no woe.
Its waves disregard with an infinite flow,

Why is a thought
like the sea?

An idiosyncrasy?

Tied to the moon's
apogee?

Why is a thought so
like the sea?

Knowledge left on the sand before swept away too.
And when the ageless heart of the tide
Would listen to questions that were asked by the best
Inquiries of paradox, of life and of death
It knows not whether to heed and abide

It's a notion
It's an ocean

It's a notion
It's an ocean

[Spirit radio voice]
Because we are connected through that droplet we are able to go back to that ocean through our dreams and can connect all the information that we need and bring it back with us through our sacred dream doors.

The Beginning

The three of us are now close to completing our collaborative album of (re)mixes of 2024. We present the last-but-one track in it, "Muddy Water". As always, Patrick or DjArtw2001 (@djartw2007) took the initiative and (re)mixed in MAGIX on 21 May 2024 parts composed by Dan or DAN-DT (@Dan-T-3) in December 2020 under the title "Muddy Water" with amazing vocals by Dorothea Wessel (https://soundcloud.com/dorotheawessel) - to whom we thank sincerely, with parts by Alex M for a collaboration with Patrick under the title "Day by Day 10" composed in December 2021 and released on SC on 8 May 2022 (https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/day-by-day-10-volt5000-alex-m), and parts, effects, arrangements and transitions composed and mixed by DjArtw2001 recently. This new collaboration was posted on SC on 6 October 2024 (by Alex M).

The artwork cover for the track uses the original image created by DAN-DT in December 2020 and annotated in Mac OS Preview by Alex M on 5 October 2024 - in coordination and agreement with DjArtw2001 and DAN-DT.

MAY'BE IT'S ALL FOR YOU,
MAY'BE IT'S ALL FOR ME,
TELL ME WE DID'NT SAY,
THIS IS THE GAME WE PLAY,

I'VE JUST TAKEN YOU FOR YOU,
MAY'BE WE'LL FADE AWAY,
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO STAY, BUT

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE TRUST,
IF YOUR LOOKING FOR LOVE AND LUST,
LOOKING IS HARD TO DO,
WHEN YOUR LIVING IN AND OUT OF THE BLUE,

IT'S BEEN RAINING HARD WITH TRUTH,
IT'S NEVER GONNA FADE AWAY,
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO SAY, BUT

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, I'M LOOKING FOR,
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU,

MAY'BE IT'S ALL FOR YOU,

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO STAY, BUT

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, I'M LOOKING FOR,
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU,

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU,

Welcome to the BrainStorm Experience. 

This is where our music has  become our devotion, where story and sound entwine as one living entity. 

Each track is a untold story, until now, carrying fragments of emotion across the threshold between you and something beyond the ordinary. 

Beneath the surface, quiet truths wait to be found, revealed not through words alone, but through feeling. 

We offer notes and timestamps only as constellations to help you navigate, though the meaning is yours to uncover.

What you see is as vital as what you hear. 

The screen before you transforms into a mirror of the music’s soul, a shifting, breathing gallery that reflects tone, motion, and memory. 

Each image pulses with the same essence that lives within the melodies, inviting you to reflect, to drift, to become part of its rhythm.

For the truest experience, we suggest listening through headphones.

They awaken the subtle layers that dwell beneath the surface, where whispered harmonies, faint textures, and unseen details wait to be heard. 

In that space between sound and silence, time begins to dissolve, and the world grows distant.

BrainStorm Operations exists to offer more than sound. It is a refuge, a sanctuary carved from serenity, designed to bring stillness to the mind and warmth to the soul. 

Across more than ten hours of carefully woven music and vision, we extend a hand into the quiet , a moment to simply exist and feel.

If you are here, it's not an accident. Your presence completes the circle. 

Settle into the stillness, surrender to what stirs within, and let the music find you. 

This is where the journey begins.

Warm regards from the flightdeck,

Keith Alban, (and formerly Sven Klitsch)
