People really respond to the songs when I play them in concert. Every song comes from a different place emotionally or from a different headspace.

Brett Dennen

I’m a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I’m not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that’s what yoga’s about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.

I’m a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.

Pain is a part of life. It’s certainly part of my creative process.

Creative Pain Process
I sing the best when I’m really in my voice. It’s kind of like I’m meditating but I sort of imagine my voice as a physical thing. I see colours, I feel it moving out of me and I try to tap into images that I was tapping into when I was writing the song.

I think most artists would agree, it’s one thing to be playing in front of a crowd that’s loving it, it’s another thing to add cameras, but it’s a really cool trade off to be on television.

The people at festivals are much more open to dance and just sing along. They come right up to the stage and they’re very thankful.

Nature inspires me because it’s so peaceful. It makes me have an inward experience. It makes me reflective and nostalgic.

The ocean inspires me because there’s the energy of the water moving.

When you get to say something in a song you’re not directing it necessarily at one person. When it’s in a song it’s easier to get it out. I don’t really worry so much about it when I’m writing a song.

Issues Thinking Two
I always saw myself as an old man living in the mountains playing a guitar, but I didn’t really turn that into a desire to be a professional musician or a singer or a rock star or anything like that.

Songs don’t really feel like me unless I somehow shed a little secret or open myself somehow or be vulnerable. When I’m singing these songs, it feels like me, and that comes with the vulnerabilities and the strengths and the moments of triumph or whatever.
BRETT DENNEN

Secret Singing Song
I can write songs, but I’m not gonna really feel good about the song unless it feels like me, and I’m not gonna release a song or put it on an album or play it in concert unless it really feels like me.
