I think there's a certain magic that comes from being creative.

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'm a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.

Image
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.

The people at festivals are much more open to dance and just sing along. They come right up to the stage and they're very thankful. 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.

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.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

I have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I'm in nature.
Brett Dennen
Image
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

Being a songwriter or a painter you're definitely facing your fears. You're facing your fears because you're speaking your truth you're speaking from your heart. That's something that's not easy to do, you set yourself up for all sorts of criticism or vulnerability but that's why we do it.

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

Image
I want to live the way I choose. It's all about happiness. I'm a happy person. But to find true happiness, peace within yourself and the world, that is something achieved in the moment. No matter the circumstance.

Bringing up issues that are hard to deal with is a challenge for me, and I think that's what draws me to song writing.
