“‘I Have Loved The Story of My Life’ knits the core memories, the stepping stones, of Schloss’s career together in one, with a sound reminiscent of his earliest inspirations and with visuals that capture deeply meaningful moments,” states Atwood Magazine in their feature on the video. “... The song touches on themes of gratitude, on sentimentality, on magic, and on memories and paints such a vivid tale in both its lyrics and its video presentation. It details the life of one who’s lived so widely and experienced such a great deal.”
Schloss explains:
“I Have Loved the Story of My Life” was written from a perspective of radical gratitude and acceptance in the face of the many challenging experiences we all must face in life. It’s a tough subject and I had to be thoughtful and make it deeply personal to convey it. These things happen to us and there are no take backs. We carry them with us and they define us. It’s interesting to me what we do with them. Some stories diminished, some elaborated to the point of fiction and some of our pages are edited, torn out and tossed away because we can’t possibly look at them and survive. My darkness and tragedy, along with my dreams, ambitions and aspirations to be more than just the lines in my story were the meat and inspiration to share my own rendition of what it’s like to be a human being in this earthly realm. Not just tolerating it but actually thriving and living a life.
