This came up on my old IPOD 5..made me weep.. feeling so alone years ago 2006, when I was playing this and more alone since dump elected 1-6, + Covid, divorced, moved got old..
I hear this every day at Outback Steakhouse over the intercom. I don't know what I feel about this song. It's like the walls in the Shawshank Redemption. First you don't like them, then you get used to them, then you need them. I would be all wonked out if this song didn't play.
Amazing!! You have what it takes to open people's heart's and your lyrics make me want to rejoice. I love your music. Sincerely, Amy, sister of Jed the Fish at K-ROCK
Thumbs up if you don't care how people hear good music or if you think "Thumbs up if's" are annoying. I figure, however, if you cant beat them; join them.
wow! Was watching the movie Sherman's Way, where this song was playing during the end credits. Never heard of Brett before but I absolutely love this song and had it on repeat for 30 minutes now lol.. Will definitely search for more of his work after I got tired of this song, eventually :P
I loved Brett Dennen when he first started out and I love the Congolese rumba vibe. I get the Paul Simon comparisons, but it is a different part of Africa. He is a great guitarist too.
It goes without saying this is far better than all the fakers on the radio these days... I found him by accident, now I'm gonna have to buy all his albums! :D
We have a lot on our table these days. Nothing gets more of my attention than the Turtle Island Liberation Movement. Look and you can see it. It's here. Get the fck up off your knees Warriors! Your prayers, and the prayers of our Ancestors, are answered. Hope. Harmony. Healing. It is being born in front of our eyes. We are Standing like a Rock In the middle of the movement. Get up and find work to do and bring every warrior you know. We got things to do. Things waiting 500 years to get fixed. My friend, stay strong. Your priority is the intent of Grandfather.
Wow, i like the way they used the Soukous type rhythm in this song. Wish the bass guitar woulda come with some nice soukous rhythms too, that would have killed it :)
OMG--- In the Video "Ziplining Guy Falls to his Death", the guy ziplining looks EXACTLY like Brett! I don't think it's really him, but who knows?!?! If anyone knows, post me!
@raebre I'm with you on this one raebre. Heard this song in a mall recently and instantly recognized it as the Cecilia riff from Paul Simon's 1991 tour. Apparently Dennen was greatly influenced by Simon, but he's evidently less willing to declare it on his record... it's a shame, 'cause Cecilia is a much better song, and the kids are growing up listening to this watered down imitation.
@MTDabydeen It's hOn as in honey. Sorry, just enjoying the music and got nosy. Which I think is maybe what we should be doing. Enjoying the music instead of correcting grammar.
I'm a problem between the rolleydurem and the cloak of smoke and a range of sister in a fa5her mushroom bag o witch I have..Aids negative aids positive positively don't have it and negatively do t want it ..
I fought in a warrior prison cell with optimum in job negative hole of the ntichrist left in a black bruise in Chula Vista and ran around asking girls to marry me...yes or no
very Paul Simon-ish..... it's really too bad he doesn't get more exposure, instead we get an abundance of meaningless garbage from talentless "Musicians". I heard of Brett from a friend, and I've been moved by every song of his I've heard.
+Benny Bejarano Brett Michael Dennen[1] (born October 28, 1979[2][3][4][5]) is a folk/pop singer and songwriter from Northern California. His fifth studio album, Smoke and Mirrors, was released in October 2013.
Such an underrated song and artist.

"and it always hurts the worst when it's the ones you love the most" this is so true to me rightnow. all my best friends just betrayed me :/

I just listened to this song on Pandora, and his voice is really awesome and distinct.
Brett my god, your music makes me feel good
heard this song whilst at work at the mall. its friggin awesome! ty mall music!!!
This song has an African feel to it. I love it.

i found brett after listening to a couple of timmy curran songs which i found after someone told me about amos lee ... all 3 are great singers
First time hearing of this guy. I love it!
Paul Simon would be proud.
Buck Weet Exactly what I was thinking
+Buck Weet more Tuku and about thirty years of African pop singers
Reminds me of the Congolese music I love. Takes a white ginger to make it popular. LOL
Paul Simon? That's not saying much.

I went with my ex to hear Brett play and he didn't believe me that this was a man.
I suppose it's irrelevant- but I get the Tracy Chapman vibe too
