I have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I’m in nature.

Brett Dennen

A sunny, happy day is beautiful, but when it’s moody, and storm is coming, there’s an energy in the air.

Air Beautiful Storm
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 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.

Inspiration Kind Want
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.

Choose Clever People Trying
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.

That’s one thing I really appreciate about the yoga culture, that the people are very thankful. They come up to you as much as any fan would, but they express sincere gratitude and I appreciate that.

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.
