Belly Up Tavern Presents Brett Dennen The songs began during a time when I was reevaluating my life. I’ve been fortunate to do this for more than fifteen years, but I have doubts about myself sometimes. I started writing these songs while I was taking stock of my life. Where am I? What do I believe in? Where do I want to be? The album begins with the message of experiencing life for yourself. Having your own journey. From there I sing about things I value. Both sentimental things and bigger things worth protecting, like human rights and the environment. The middle of the album goes into reflection. I sing about finding myself in places I don’t belong, surrounded by people I don’t connect with. I sing about how I’ve drifted away from myself or drifted away from who I once thought I’d become. There’s a part in there where I turn my attention to the beauty of love that I’m blessed with and the beauty of the natural world in which I draw so much inspiration from.
