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.

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.

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

What I strive to do with songwriting is be really honest, authentic and try to be open and share that with people. I choose that over trying to be clever, poetic, or lyrical.

Clever People Trying
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
I come from a place of sincerity. I write about what I see and feel. I write about what I want, I don’t have a political agenda. Politics may enter into a song but it always comes from the heart.

BRETT DENNEN

Creative Magic Thinking
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.
BRETT DENNEN

Moving Song 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.
BRETT DENNEN

Song Worry Writing
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
Things aren’t always as they appear. I’ve been believing things to be a certain way because I want them to be that way. I build up illusions in my head.

Believe Want Way
