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.

Family Tree Lyrics
Ben Kweller
Bop bop.
Care about the moonlight
And holding you tight
And asking my questions.
Everyone loves a situation.
Long walks on the beach.
The press will impeach.
Lately Im finding
I am the book and you are the binding.
I guess theyll read everything about you.
Though the press might shoot me down Im still true.
I sell my book for free. thats what you do to me.
Oh, you are my family tree.
Be good to me
Take care of me.
Bop bop.
Theres hotels in the sea,
Trash in the sky.,
The net-dustrys growing.
Stick to love songs kid, thats all youre knowing.
They push you away
Or tie you up.
It dont really matter.
But if your head is up you wont get much sadder.
But who am I to preach a word or two
When I cant lift my own head without you?
If my mental state kept you from coming around
I hope the world would shoot me down for losing you.
A broken branch Id be if you werent grown to me.
Oh, you are my family tree.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Take care of me.
Bop bop.
