The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.

Brett Dennen

Everyone wants to know what kind of music their favorite artist listens to. It feels good to. I don’t try to dwell on that too much though.

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.

Play Song Writing
As an artist I write about the world I want to live in. And as a musician and someone who is in the public eye, I think you have this responsibility to influence people.

Eye Heart Writing
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.

I also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain – that is the most inspiring thing.

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 used to want to be fully observational, but I’m just not that kind of writer. My process always changes depending on how, when, and where inspiration stiles me.
