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

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

Fall Falling Love Rain
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.

Gratitude People Yoga
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.

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.

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

Nothing has happened too fast, nothing has happened too slow. It has been a mellow rise, and I’m thankful for that. I haven’t lost my head, and I haven’t lost my desire to keep growing.

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.

I think for me to do a traditional sitting meditation I would really have to spend a couple weeks working at it. The only way I know how to efficiently, effectively meditate is by walking in nature.

I think there’s a certain magic that comes from being creative.

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

Creative Pain Process
I think food is the great equalizer. Other than the ocean and the air, food is the thing that we all share in common. I think along with that comes the question of why are some people starving, and why do some people produce more food than they need, and why is food going to waste.

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