Ben Kweller(born June 16, 1981) is an American rockmusician and former lead singer of the 1990s band Radish, which was compared to Nirvanain Rolling Stone Magazine. The band grew in popularity in the Dallas, Texas music scene from its formation in 1993. However, the band was dismissed by critics as little more than an imitation of Nirvana with the novelty of an extremely young lead vocal-guitarist (Kweller was in his teens for the entire existence of the band). Nonetheless, Kweller and his two bandmates, bassist Bryan Blur and drummer John Kent, were signed to a major record label in 1995 by Mercury Records. Regardless of a much-hyped beginning, which included appearances on Conan O'Brien and David Letterman, Radish failed to strike big success with either its first record Dizzy or its sophomore effort Restraining Bolt.

Different but The Same Lyrics
Ben Kweller
There's no time to phone home
When you're racin', you're on time
You contemplate, you gotta wait your own turn
Up the noise with some poison, with great poise
You can't compare it too, or let it scare you through
If everything you do is not as smoothly as we planned
You gotta understand:
There is more for you.
But all you gotta do, ooh
Is put yourself with the people
They're the ones who make the world spin
Lust in favor, you can win.
And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came
That is why you
Came to your senses
To feel it out
And try to kill off every dial
Your mother worries, but no one worries quite like you.
And when you start you must rely on your own heart.
Cause nothing works the same or takes the blame or wins the game
With your head in your hands in the pouring rain
I wanna see you as you are.
Like a lonely star.
There is more for you.
But all you gotta do, ooh
Is put yourself with the people.
They're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.
And you'll take home the gold medallion.
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came.
That is why you came.
You gotta be so strong
You gotta teach your son
How to stand up straight
When you wanna run
How to carry on
How to be yourself
To be different.. but the same.
That is why you came.
