“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.” Quote by Brett Dennen
“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.” PeopleThinkingI CanReasonFeelingsSongWishStruggleIssuesGood ThingsWorriedFeel Better Author:Brett Dennen
“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.” WritingPersonsSongWorryEasier Author:Brett Dennen
“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.” FeelsWritingTryingKindMovingSongVoiceImagineColourMeditatingTappingMoving OutPhysical Things Author:Brett Dennen
“I know musicians who think that drumming and guitaring can be very meditative, but singing is different because when you think about things, you put words to them. So I try to just stay present most of the time, I try not to let my mind wander and I also try not to clear my mind. I like to still have thought and be aware of people and whatever that's happening, but I also like to just focus on the words that I'm saying.” PeopleThinkingKnowsTryingMindStillsDifferentClearFocusMusicianSingingHappeningsWanderDrumming Author:Brett Dennen
