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.

Brett Dennen

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.

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.

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.

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 there’s a certain magic that comes from being creative.
BRETT DENNEN

Creative Magic Thinking
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
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.
