Alt/rockers Story of My Life are back with new single “Real Life,” after five years of the release of their critically acclaimed fifth studio album Wolves.
Guitarist Ryan Phillips said this about “Real Life”:
‘Real Life’ is the sound of four lifelong friends re-lighting the torch and deciding they want to be a full time band again.
Real Life is one of those special songs that just kind of happened. We didn’t sit around for months consciously trying to write a song like this. It just kind of came out. The songs that fight you the whole way are always duds. It’s the ones that come from out of nowhere and almost write themselves that are the best.
Vocalist Dan Marsala added:
Real Life is a return to form for Story Of The Year.
It evokes the same emotion and energy of Page Avenue but with a brand new and exciting feel. It’s a song about the constant struggle of making a relationship work. The ups and downs of being in love. Not every day is full of sunshine, but if you fight through the pain together, you can make it out alive with a smile on your face.
