More quotes by 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.
Brett Dennen
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.
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.
Brett Dennen
Pain is a part of life. It's certainly part of my creative process.

I also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain - that is the most inspiring thing.
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.
Brett Dennen
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.
Brett Dennen
I guess it's just my job to somehow balance knowing that every song is going to come differently and be different, but also know that, on the other hand, I am a songwriter and I am a craftsman, and I do have a craft and a technique and a method. So I need to balance the technique and the method.
Brett Dennen
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
Blessed is this life, I'm gonna celebrate being alive.
Brett Dennen
The ocean inspires me because there's the energy of the water moving.
Brett Dennen
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
I have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I'm in nature.
Brett Dennen
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.
Brett Dennen
I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.
Brett Dennen
I think there's a certain magic that comes from being creative.
Brett Dennen
I'm a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.
Brett Dennen
I want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.
