Brett Dennen - Desert Sunrise

[UncannyCasey]

Brett is everything I want in an artist. Talent, lyrics, genuine, kind, a cause...Please Brett, always be you. Everything you are is hopeful to the bleakness of the world.

[hineb85]

Genus completely through and through...did anyone else think he looks like a kid at first?

[cluelesslogga]

Brett Dennen!!!

[TheMrSpam]

i only like the songs that dont talk about girls

[hannastevens]

I just saw Brett in Seattle... he came back on for a solo acoustic encore. I desperately wanted him to play this song, and he DID! He's such a lyricist and a beautiful, honest performer. Ahhhhhhhh...

[creatorofexperience]

amazing, he is a modern day hero

[shastapunch]

how can anybody in their right mind, search brett dennen(because he's not gonna show up on any other search) and dislike this song? :O then again, how can lady gaga get a record deal?

[iamjddupuy]

Solid! 10 out of 10

[sheisalex]

ahh, Brett Dennen, you are just an amazing songwriter. your lyrics and voice are so powerful. thank you

[7livingfearless]

Such an emotional truth. Love this song... <3

[OnlyMarissa511]

He's like a ginger hipster Paul Simon.  I love it!!! I think this will be played at my wedding.

[rubberguarder]

quality...

[malbug]

Great voice, great lyrics, an acoustic guitar and no voice altering crap....why isn't this guy better known?

[726rach]

@malbug Because he doesn't sell himself to the crazy world out there, and he cares about being an artist and not a model. Unfortunately that isn't enough anymore...

[winggoddess]

a good song to play in a movie made of the book "stargirl."

[jasonsgroovemachine]

There's more to this than just guitar work. Yeah he's not an amazing guitar player. If he was it would more than likely take away from the lyrics and the melody in the music.

It's not enough to know when to play a note, it's just as important (or more so) to know when NOT to play one.

[carmico]

Well... I would say you can't... this is GREAT, simple and sweet... the lyrics are fab... don't b a hater. This is soul soothing.

[DonRonter]

Meh. Mediocre guitar play. You can find someone like this at any coffee shop in LA

[IwilleaturHorse]

@DonRonter Listen to him some more and find some guitar playing that you think is sufficient.

[tamethis22]

pure bliss

[tamethis22]

pure bliss

[Venus10Gloom]

Is really very Good!! I love this song!! ^^

[DaveC2729]

I especially admire that he does so much with so little, and shows us that you don't have to have multimillion-dollar sound stages, huge casts, and most of an orchestra to make beautiful and meaningful music.

[walkervaughn99999999]

this is the most amazing live performance ever. period. no more comments are needed

[luizarosas]

AMAZING. how old is he???

[ALMITRAOCEAN]

@luizarosas 30 going on 2000 yrs old .LOL. A wise soul from beyond ,beyond.

[maryasha]

@luizarosas he around 31 now

[mrr1491]

awesome!!!!!! gotta love this guy!!!!!!!!!

[powderkeg420]

you wanna see snakes, you wanna see fire.

You wanna see the man that makes a hat out of a funeral pyre.

Youu wanna see the jackal, beat out the wolf?

You think that humanity was the best thing that ever graced the earth?

[wolff4life]

you guys are so right, he's voice is brilliant and so are his lyrics! man, more people should know him... he's not just another californian singer, he's better than anyone else!

[JDef41]

this is my favorite song of all time..truly.

[kgurl13]

What a talented young man!

[MsFluffs]

Gives me chills... Fantastic song, fantastic voice!

[LoveBeeNot]

Reminds me a manly red headed woman, but I loves his music... I practically broke this song on my iPod!

[dadyzgrl64]

hes the best singer i have ever heard in my life, sets a perfect mood, calm and comfortable. and just all around perfect.

[toogoodtobetrue89]

Honestly, you would NEVER guess he'd have such a voice. Like he looks like a nerdy redhead, and BAM.

[elirosenau]

Fantastisch

[gree4echo]

brett dennen has the most amazing voice.

its like... you can read his thoughts not only through the words of his music, but also through the raw emotion in his pitch.

beautiful (:

[vinny2009woof]

Anyone know what type of guitar that is?? It's beautiful.

[ArborBrooks]

oh wow he's amazing!

love him!

[Jasonmrazfanluv]

I love this song!

[mldren75]

he is...awesome....

[secretlyobvious]

i love this song

it will always remind me of someone i loved

and continue t love

i love this video too, because hes raw.

[lolomica]

thats really really good!!!! great emotion!!

[Mariekesone]

Just listen to his melodious voice and take it in...Very calming, relaxing...:-)

[cruzaroni]

He looks like lesbian comedian Sabrina Matthews.

[flplanet2003]

no matter how he looks like....see what he is...dickhead

[Jasonmrazfanluv]

exactly looks isn't what is important. He has such and good heart and positive and attitude, any girl would be lucky to have him. Thanks for sticking up : )

[sOkaLi09]

nice. his voice is tranquility

[Hudsucker94]

This guy is the retarded mongoloid bastard child of john mayer and connor oberst. One night, after a night of heavy drugs, hard drinking and confused emotions, mayer ends up fucking oberst in the ass over and over, and in the morning, this thing is spawned. It's like the fucking modern day jersery devil or something, no good can come of this...

[Gummy132]

As much as I love Brett and JM, this made me laugh.

[smitryan]

and I've been waiting all this life

in the company of one

and I know I am young

but I don't want to be alone

if you could only just

consider the two of us

and I know darling

I could be so good to you

*unrequited love*

It is what it is...

[dantheman500]

smart ass... its a chillin love a song

[smitryan]

It's not a love song....

[thawhiteazn]

I'm pretty sure it's a love song, especially when he says "wrap my lips around your flavor"

[EdwardCullenIsMine7]

tomfurstyfeild u r such an idiot! his voice is beautiful and unique along with his lyrics and songs. ive never ever heard anyone like him before in my life. he is such a great person and singer! GO BRETT! KEEP SINGING!

[delafuentecj]

yes very beautiful music, there is a lot of feeling and emotion in this song. It means a lot to me & I think of the love of my life everytime I hear it...

[johnsjukebox]

me too

[zrobb500]

excellent

[thedoc56]

really great lyrics

[tomfurstyfield]

He's ok a bit like a jack johnson or ben harper but nothing special

[Gronko123]

nothing special? your a fucking clown... the lyrics are fuckin nuts.. i love ben harper and jack johnson, but id even say hes a better lyricist

[tomfurstyfield]

Alright calm down, I just find him over sentimental sickly sweet and naive. Hardly original a singer songwriter singing about some perfect woman

[tbspin]

I'm not so sure it's about the perfect woman. Perhaps your first impression shouldn't be your last.

[ell1s2]

good call man.. I made the same mistake when listening to she's mine and thinking it was a love song.. his lyrics sound simple but they are in fact far from it.

[yippiekaymotherf]

brett dennen, gods gift to music

[mb656614]

Me gusta Brett Dennen mucho.

[cheerfull4u]

I love him!

[RainMistSplashUSA]

gold.

[pornofruchtzwerg]

He is awsome.

sooo much talent!<3

[josefiSnch]

FAIL?

:D

You cant make better music come out your ass

[drb021]

The "come out your ass" modifier was incorrectly used, since that would be pretty difficult for anyone. Perhaps you meant, "he can make better music come out his ass than you ever will," or something to that effect.

[josefiSnch]

Lol YEA XD!

[XoExRxSoX]

best song

[oneXXvoice]

I love this song to death.

[Saydang]

i didn't look for a gayer song... but i did give your little post a big fat thumbs down.

[Moochiesvideos]

brett dennen is the shiz.

[emmaspek]

Hmm.. nice.

[izzieshanti]

a worthy adversary against who....and he doesnt care if this song is gay cos it obviously apeals to the billions of females out there!

[IvoryKeys10]

i love this song, lyrics are very poetic, tune is sweet and simple. his voice matches it very well. i love how he has his own sound. i'm definitely a fan

[pinchandtwist]

This is so beautiful that I just want to smash his guitar in a million pieces, bury it in my backyard and keep it for myself!

[hannigan06]

@pinchandtwist So when you hear beautiful things you are destructive good to know.

:)

[oneforever1314]

@pinchandtwist But if you smash his guitar, he won't make anymore music. :P

[Schilltron30303]

@oneforever1314 Hell yeah brother... I say lets do it over his head Honky Tonk man styles see if we can smash some frecks off this shitstain's face while we are at it.

[Schilltron30303]

@oneforever1314 Hell yeah brother... I say lets do it over his head Honky Tonk man styles see if we can smash some frecks off this shitstain's face while we are at it.

[kintar90]

he's 28! he looks 17. he's got a new album on the 24th of Oct. love him.

[brownbucks]

dennen will be dennen stop being so fn cynical... an artist is an artist and will allow the music to take them whereever that may be... this is musical individual who creates his own music lyrically and melody just enjoy and let his time and place take him to his time and place in music

[Scarfknitter]

this song gives me strength every time when i feel like walking in a desert alone.

[mistafresh86]

I think he will get higher recognition, but i think he will stay true to his music and opinions and not sell out. his music is so good it is bound for corruption, i hope it stays this good.

[kevmor]

that guitar is freaking beautiful.

this whole video is amazing.

[salparadise63]

this song and its delivery blew my mind. this artist is way underrated. i can only hope he stays that way.

[w33ps]

why would you want him to stay under rated? why wouldnt you want him to become more popular and successful? pretty selfish of you to want to keep him to yourself

[salparadise63]

You're right. I'm so sorry, I hope he gets as big as Michael Jackson. There you go. Happy now?

[jellygoeswobble]

I am so jealous of Brett's voice. Abbsolutely wonderful.

[nadiladi]

the best ever, love this guy

[MataHari1980]

love this....

[Arthurakm]

absolutly amazing

[yayans]

nice song! i love it!

[tonibanez]

Brutal Acollonant Increïble

[U2bradly]

it was a full mon last night

[garotacr]

Nice song! For me one of the best...

=)

[vermonter1958]

Sorry everybody else, i was replying to a comment on the previous page that was marked as spam and it went here... my bad.

[vermonter1958]

That means a lot from somebody who loves linkin park and hellogoodbye. Yeah, I looked at your page, you gaybashing emo.

[DanceMaster56724]

gave me chills!!! love him so much!!!!

[Finesky]

One of SXSW 2006 best songs

[bkgono]

so chill to listen to. one of the best voices and some fucking original music for once in a long time. very good stuff.

[mankferd]

Brett is amazing his voice is one of a kind!! Rock on!!

[hapteacher]

one of the best songs ever written. Heather

[monkeynuts19]

whose not playing ? ...who Brett? wow you have a knowledge of guitar because he most obviously is playing....peace xxx

[Papfisk]

does anybody know the tabs to this?? i am a novice guitar player, and would like to learn to play this one, but i cant figure out how to play this one,,,

[wonderturtle1000]

If youre a novice guitar player, Id suggest staying away from this song.

unusual timing. unusual chords (some of which look kinda difficult).

not exactly a song to learn on.

[HaloRelated]

Ultimate-guitar(dot)com its not the same exact way he plays it but it makes it easier than the way he plays it.

[ashide1]

look at the second tab, it's how he plays it here (more or less)

[mimiciku8]

holy crap!! i was just introduced to him today...and this just might have to be my wedding song....how old is he?? he looks young..

[NewWhit2]

He's 28 years old!

[NewWhit2]

He's 28 years old!

[EvelynF6]

please keep your comment for yourself if you aint got nothing usefull to say.

i bet you far from brilliant compared to brett dennen.

[PinkAndGreenTogether]

is he not perfect? i've loved him since i first listened to him.

does he forget the lyrics though? At around 3:20..doesn't sound right.

but he is phenomenal, no doubt.

[rockishlc]

wooh

how old is that guy?

[monkeynuts19]

why?

[cianklump]

great song

[NewWhit2]

desert sunset, a lullaby

if I could give it all to you

if you'd only let me try

sing so sweetly, it's my only wish

music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss

summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist

what else is there to say?

[fb2675]

What? This guys fuckin goooood.........

[navaflo]

great

[BooMoo99]

He has such a unique voice. Great stuff.

[Papfisk]

just F***ing great man

[TheFreeHealer]

yay brett

[tmk1466]

OmG hE iS sOoO hAwT!!!!!

[fortunatefool1211]

this guy amazes me!

[wikkidme]

It's like the male version of Jewel, which by the way I love Jewel.

[HacoWhite]

amazing voice

[lucagiaco]

my favourite song. thank you brett

[vermonter1958]

I have seen him in concert twice and this is the best version of this song I have heard yet.

[mejrenoteam]

Simply beautiful...

[Gupmastermike]

That song is made all the more better with just how goofy looking Brett is. haha

This song is my new heroine.

[Apacherosepeacock44]

Wow that is an awesome song

[overclocked09]

to pumala

music has NOTHING to do with looks, at least, it shouldn't.

so, see the music for what it is, not what you think it should be.

[iamright11111]

he sucks

[Jazbmc]

Great song, great voice.

[Pumalax7]

wow he is a great musician but man oh man is he ugly and fat

[jt208481]

and that is why music like this is not as popular as it should be. fergie's musical talent doesn't hold a hair on brett's red head, but she's good looking so she gets air time.

[overclocked09]

damn so good.

[Valexa1]

Saw him at the hard rock in Fort Lauderdale, he was fantastic, stayed and talked to everyone, signed his CD and hung out!

[tomreeder1974]

Wow, fucking great song great voice

[Foley55]

Sung with so much heart...

[jonmaclennan]

Rediculously amazing! So poetic and brilliant writing.Fantastic vocals and so emotional! If you like Brett you might like my song Peace check it out on my page....

[adelefarniente]

I think he is adorable. I am weakened by his lyrics and melt within his harmony.......

[iamright11111]

(coughs) emo

[adelefarniente]

sorry~just get carried away sometimes..

[iamright11111]

dammit now you made me feel bad

[christophgerald]

after 2 songs, im ready to move on

[xXRandiMayoXx]

ooo i like this song too...

[rooflee]

lovely stuff! This guy sounds alot like Jeff Buckley in this song. I love this dude.

[langerCAN]

he;s got a really cool voice

[cutiekim2]

omg i've never heard this guy before but hes awesome. i listen in awe as his beautiful voice carries on the song! i dont know how he does it! i've always liked guitarists but now i love them! HES AMAZING!

[teamboomboomrats]

don't be shallow, the man's got talent. lots of talent. and originality. that's more than you can say about most people. even many of those that are famous!

[Inwrong]

We love him in Sweden! Thanks for your songs that makes us feeeel

[easyst1180]

who freakin cares what he looks like. how much more shallow can our society get. he's a real talent. his stuff is great lyrically.

[sowhatdude1]

He sings all these love songs- but he looks like a 13yr old pre-pubescent boy. His red moppy hair is CRAZY! it really looks like his grandma just took a bowl off his head after using it to give him that groovy Friar Tuck bowl cut he's sporting. Seriously this guy's got the body shape of a weeble ... & as everyone knows, "weebles wobble but they don't fall down" :O)

[pghleo7]

Wow, cruel - who cares what he looks like, his music is GOOD.

[galadriel6969]

yah? well you should see is girlfriend - she's f'in HOT. AND she's been with him since BEFORE he got big. AND she's really cool. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

[CalculatedPerception]

"crazy guitar licks" are the most overrated facet of music in history.

[x900lbGorillax]

I am a lead guitarist myself and just because he doesn't do all the crazy guitar licks of today like me and so many others. Doesn't mean he isn't good. He has his own sound and style, unique in a sense thats why so many like it. Music is music no one gets to say whats good.

[libraryquiet]

Everything he does sounds the same...,that's a sin!!

[viejecita]

searching "Se le mete el diablo" its very funny

[jelswick2]

Yeah, this cat is cool. I love finding these kinds of things on here!
