Ben Kweller's new single "Optimystic" is deeply personal, reflecting his grief over the sudden death of his son Dorian, helping him reconnect through music.
Kweller states, 'It's a full-circle thing because Dorian was 16 when he passed... Dorian released music under the name ZEV and I had a grunge band called Radish.'
'Optimystic' captures the spirit of youth and rock 'n' roll, evoking memories of teenage creativity and freedom, as Kweller navigates his grief.
The track features a 'proggy version of the Ramones,' embodying the nostalgic feeling of falling in love with music and the creative process.
