On My Way

Ben Kweller

Recorded live in one room without headphones, this is a warm, piano-led collection of earnest indie rock that prioritizes raw honesty over studio polish.

It's like a live living room session with a guy who's just trying to be honest with you.

A gentle, unvarnished exploration of homesickness and heart-on-sleeve sincerity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The raw vocal strain in the chorus of I Need You Back where the band hits with a loose, live energy.
The gentle, repetitive piano motif on the title track that feels like a slow walk through a familiar neighborhood.
The way the drums and bass lock into a lazy, soulful groove on Down, providing a bed for the vulnerable lyrics.
