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.

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 -
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.
Brett Dennen -
I don't wanna limit myself to anything, but I eat like a vegetarian and I eat mostly raw.

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. 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?

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.

Politicians lie and I am not fooled.

I think most artists would agree, it's one thing to be playing in front of a crowd that's loving it, it's another thing to add cameras, but it's a really cool trade off to be on television.
Brett Dennen -
It's cool to be healthy now! It's cool to, like, drink fresh juices and drink Kombucha and all that stuff.
Brett Dennen -
Don't forget that love is all you came here for, not anything less. Need I say more?
Brett Dennen -
The wind blows wild and i may move, politicians lie and i am not fooled you don't need a razor or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
Brett Dennen -
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.
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.

For some reason I can articulate my feelings better in song. I wish it would come out better in regular life too though. The issue is that I struggle with is that I'm worried about what people think, or how they'll react to whatever it is I have to say, and obviously that's not a good thing.
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.
Brett Dennen -
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.
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 also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain - that is the most inspiring thing.
Brett Dennen -
The ocean inspires me because there's the energy of the water moving.

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.
Brett Dennen -
When you're young that's when you feel like you can change the world. Then you get older and you buy a house and have kids, and you don't want to be so bold anymore.
Brett Dennen -
I think anyone who is an artist or writer or owns their own business or whatever can agree that when you come up with something on your own, it's an addictive feeling.
Brett Dennen -
I want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.
