The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.

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

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.

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

I want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.
BRETT DENNEN

High Song Standards Writing
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.

I’m a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I’m not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that’s what yoga’s about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.

Lyrics Moving Pain Working Yoga
As an artist I write about the world I want to live in. And as a musician and someone who is in the public eye, I think you have this responsibility to influence people.

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 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.

Couple Meditation Thinking
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.

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