“The Story of My Life,” Zany Geek’s second mp3 single release following “I’m Gonna Be Just Fine,” is a ballad that explores the inner struggle of feeling like one’s life has been lost to the whims of fate, leaving behind regrets and stolen choices. With heartfelt lyrics and an emotionally charged melody, it’s a reminder that even when the past feels unchangeable, the future is still unwritten.

“The Story of My Life” taps into a universal feeling — the unsettling sense that your life is unfolding according to someone else’s script. Whether it’s the weight of expectations, unexpected setbacks, or choices that didn’t feel like your own, the song captures that frustration of watching your story play out from the sidelines. It speaks to anyone who’s ever questioned how they got to where they are or wondered if it’s too late to change course. The lyrics give voice to a struggle people of all ages can relate to: the desire to reclaim authorship of your own life and write a future that feels true to you.

Composed in the style of a theatrical trio, “The Story of My Life” features soaring vocals and emotional crescendos that convey the characters’ emotional journeys. The song starts introspectively, then steadily builds in intensity as they gain clarity, culminating in a cathartic finale reminiscent of a song that sets off the hero’s quest in a Broadway or movie musical.

Zany Geek on the Songwriting Process

“I think most people can relate to moments of questioning their life — how they got here and where they’re headed. Each character voice in the song is on that same journey. My goal was to explore that thought process through the lyrics and, hopefully, leave the listener somewhere hopeful.”

“I also wanted it to be the type of song that gives you opportunities to belt out the lyrics. Singing can be very much like an affirmation that shifts your mood and imprints an empowering perspective. The more you get to emote through a song, the better it serves that purpose. So this one is for people who like to sing loud and let it all out.”
