Jaouad’s second single: Hard to Love
Hard To Love is inspired by an encounter between Jaouad Alloul and a troubled young man, who tried to escape and compensate his pain, resulting in an addiction to drugs. This encounter however made clear that the one thing that could really sooth his profound feeling of being unworthy to be loved, was unconditional attention and recognition. This resulted in a song for healing, dedicated to everyone who ever felt like they weren’t good enough to be loved, everyone who felt like they were unworthy and everyone who felt they were Hard To Love.
