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.

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.

Brett DennenWhat 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.
