Today, multi-platinum folk/pop singer/songwriter David Kushner has released his brand new song, “Hero,” via Miserable Man Music.
“’Hero’ is the story of acceptance towards the pain of your inner child,” shares Kushner. It’s a poignant reflection on human relationships and explores the personal narrative of overcoming relationship troubles. The single is complemented by a new music video in Kushner’s signature cinematic style. The video expands on the lyrical narrative as it depicts Kushner interacting with childhood versions of himself and reliving childhood trauma. In the video, Kushner seems to achieve a sense of reckoning with the scars that have shaped him by interfacing with the past. The children that we once were live on inside us, but we are not defined by them.
Watch the music video for “Hero” below.
Additionally, Kushner has announced a headlining tour of North America. The tour starts September 9th in Portland, Oregon and finishes November 23rd in Oakland, California. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, May 17th. Prior to the tour Kushner will be performing at festivals including Boston Calling, Bonnaroo, and the iconic pair of Reading and Leeds Festivals in England.
