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

Brett Dennen

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
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 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 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.

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.

I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

Fifty Matter Thinking
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
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.

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 Want Way
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.

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.

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
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.

Eye Heart Writing
Everyone wants to know what kind of music their favorite artist listens to. It feels good to. I don’t try to dwell on that too much though.

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.
