My Brainstorm
(c) 2026 Citizen Regen (E. Kocol, K Nilsen)

Verse 1:
My sense of clarity is confused
when my thoughts are bemused
Everything I think is beyond compare
Bouncing from here to there,
at lightening speed

Chorus 1:
Here we have my brainstorm
A million ideas a day
That inform me not to conform
To society in any way
Here we have my Brainstorm

Verse 2:
Day in day out I'm dazed and confused
My mind and soul abused
Everything I feel is beyond compare
Bouncing from here to there,
at lightening speed

Chorus 2:
Here we have my brainstorm
A million crazy dreams a day
That inform me not to conform
To society in any way
Here we have my Brainstorm

Bridge:
Never was there a time
Where I had peace of mind
I can't lay me down to rest
My brainstorm is my eternal guest

Chorus 3:
Here we have my brainstorm
A million insane thoughts a day
That inform me not to conform
To society in any way
Here we have my Brainstorm

[Gerran]

Amazing sound! Great balance between drums and guitars in such a dense mix. Now applause!

I always look forward to hearing what you're up to. Maybe it's just my imagination, but this seems to have more of a "live" vibe - it sure doesn't feel pasted together across multiple continents. As to the music, I paricularly like how the keys provide texture. That also makes the flourish at 2:50 just that much more effective.

With a mix this dense, it's hard to get everything right but the stereo choices (of course including the wide rhythm guitar pans) are outstanding. IMO those choices are largely reponsible for retaining clarity within the denseness. Also FWIW, the song goes by fast. Doesn't seem like it's a 4-minute song.
