Figuring out what makes it “Hard to Be Human” with Jordan Tariff

I think there's something comforting about a song that admits you don't have everything figured out. Jordan Tariff's “Hard to Be Human” feels like a conversation with that part of yourself that keeps asking what you're doing with your life, whether you're on the right path, and if everyone else somehow got a manual you never received. With its gentle acoustic guitar and mellow indie-pop sound, the track makes room for those questions without letting them swallow you whole.

What makes this song hit so hard is how it looks beyond our usual growing pains and it helps us wonder whether the people we look up to ever had it figured out either.

Jordan reflects on growing older, his relationship with his father, and the search for meaning in a world that doesn't always offer clear answers. And honestly, maybe that's the reminder we need sometimes: nobody has everything sorted out, even the people who seem like they do. We're all just trying, getting things wrong, learning a little, and trying again. Maybe being human isn't about finding every answer, but learning to live with the questions while still making room for the good things along the way...
