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.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

I think for me to do a traditional sitting meditation I would really have to spend a couple weeks working at it. The only way I know how to efficiently, effectively meditate is by walking in nature.

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.
Brett Dennen
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.

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

I think there's a certain magic that comes from being creative.
Brett Dennen
Pain is a part of life. It's certainly part of my creative process.
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
Don't forget that love is all you came here for, not anything less. Need I say more?
Brett Dennen
Blessed is this life, I'm gonna celebrate being alive.

I also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain - that is the most inspiring thing.
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.

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