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

Brett Dennen

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

Art Creative Love
I can write songs, but I’m not gonna really feel good about the song unless it feels like me, and I’m not gonna release a song or put it on an album or play it in concert unless it really feels like me.

It’s usually kids that normally don’t have a chance to get to meet each other because they’re separated by millions of different things.

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

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.

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.
BRETT DENNEN

Desire Growing Lost
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.

Follow Heart Lost
I’m a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.
BRETT DENNEN

Acting Big Thinking
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.
