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

Brett Dennen

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.

Artists Cameras Thinking
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

People Play Song
Every song is completely different. Sometimes they come like a lump of clay and it’s your job to chip away and find out what’s in the center. Sometimes it comes like swimming fish, and you have to follow it and see where it leads. Sometimes it comes totally fragmented.

I wanted to be a singer. I wanted to be a musician. I wanted to travel and write songs and be a good songwriter. It came to me slowly after college.

Follow Heart Lost
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.

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
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.

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

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.

I love being creative, and for me it doesn’t matter what it is – whether it’s art or music or just daydreaming.

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.
