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

Brett Dennen

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

Creative Pain Process
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 always saw myself as an old man living in the mountains playing a guitar, but I didn’t really turn that into a desire to be a professional musician or a singer or a rock star or anything like that.

Anything Guitar Mountains Old Professional
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
I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.
BRETT DENNEN

Fifty Matter 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.

Choose Clever People Trying
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
So I try influence people to live from their heart and make conscious decisions , and I try just inspire people to make positive change. That’s purely the reason I do it. I want to see the world get better, you know?

Conscious Decision Make Positive Want
I don’t wanna limit myself to anything, but I eat like a vegetarian and I eat mostly raw.

Limits Mostly Vegetarian
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 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.

Air Common Ocean Question Think Thinking
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.

People Play Song
I always liked playing music and I always wanted to be good at playing guitar.

I come from a place of sincerity. I write about what I see and feel. I write about what I want, I don’t have a political agenda. Politics may enter into a song but it always comes from the heart.

Agenda Heart Political Song Writing
Follow your heart and you won’t get lost.

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