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

Fall Falling Love Rain
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.

Choose Clever People Trying
I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.

Issues Thinking Two
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 Couple Illusion Want Way
I can’t really write unless I’m full of inspiration. And even then I can’t write unless I have some alone time.
BRETT DENNEN

Alone Inspiration Time Writing
I want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.

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

Inspire Mountain Strong
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.

Moving Song Writing
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.

Song Worry Writing
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.
BRETT DENNEN

College Song Writing
I like to still have thought and be aware of people and whatever that’s happening, but I also like to just focus on the words that I’m saying.
BRETT DENNEN

Aware Focus Happening Like
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.

Desire Growing Lost
That’s one thing I really appreciate about the yoga culture, that the people are very thankful. They come up to you as much as any fan would, but they express sincere gratitude and I appreciate that.

Appreciate Culture Gratitude Thankful
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
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.
BRETT DENNEN

Chance Different Kids
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.
