Let’s be honest. The older you get, the clearer it is: good people are hard to find. Nick Ryan takes that uncomfortable truth and turns it into a surprisingly addictive emotional release on “Good People Are Hard to Find,” a standout from the new remix LP ArchNemesis. Rather than hiding the message in vague pop poetry, Ryan boldly says the quiet part out loud and then cranks the volume.

The chorus lands like a blunt confession. "Good people are hard to find, I'm losing my mind." It's simple, repetitive, and brutally relatable. Anyone navigating fake friendships, flaky relationships, or the ghosting culture of modern life will instantly recognize that feeling.

Musically, the track rides a slick EDM pulse produced by Robert Eibach that never lets the energy dip. The beat hits with punchy house momentum while still leaving room for Nick Ryan’s alt-pop vocal delivery to breathe. Instead of drowning the lyrics in festival-sized drops, the production keeps the groove tight and slightly edgy. The verses show Nick Ryan’s personality.

Lines like “Hey, I don’t like you, you ghosted me, so I ghosted you too” carry a petty honesty that feels weirdly refreshing. There is sarcasm in the delivery, but also a kind of emotional closure hiding underneath it. Nick Ryan is not begging for understanding. Nick Ryan is celebrating the freedom that comes from finally cutting someone out of his life.

That emotional duality is what gives the song replay value. On the surface, it is a dance track. Underneath, it is a small therapy session set to a club beat. Culturally, the timing fits. In a world of curated online lives and shallow real connections, “good people are hard to find” isn’t pessimistic; it’s reality.

Nick Ryan is not trying to sound profound here, just saying something most people quietly agree with. Sometimes the most brutally honest lyrics are the ones you scream to drown out the ache, alone in your car at full blast.
