Singer-songwriter Jonathan Sparks has a message to share with the world in his new punk-centered single, “Real Human Being.” Out today on all streaming services, the satirical track tells the tale of two college students trying to blaze their own authentic paths in the middle of Gen-Z’s admiration for social media. In a world where thoughts feel like a “copy-and-paste,” the college freshman rebel from the norm to only find themselves ironically admired by followers for their authenticity.
“Real Human Being” is a concrete blend of energetic guitars and quick punching vocals that die-hard fans of the Descendents, Violent Femmes, and Ramones can surely admire.

“It’s a simple love story about being criticized for who you are, only to find that who you are is of the most value, and what we all really long for. Amid the dismal glow of cell phones, late at night, the song’s simple chorus captures our thirst for human connection: ‘you may not be so entertaining, but you can still hold me, baby, when I’m in need, ‘cause you’re a real human being.’” - Jonathan Sparks
