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

Brett Dennen

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.

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 think anyone who is an artist or writer or owns their own business or whatever can agree that when you come up with something on your own, it’s an addictive feeling.

Artist Feelings Thinking
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.

College Song Writing
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.

I can’t really write unless I’m full of inspiration. And even then I can’t write unless I have some alone time.

I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.
BRETT DENNEN

Issues Thinking Two
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.

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.

I’m a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.

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.
