The special edition of the beloved song features an alternate, happier ending that reflects Schneider’s current journey and personal growth and has been added to Apple Music’s Aussie Country playlist and is on high rotation on Australian Country Radio.
Schneider, who lives at Ettalong Beach, launched the single with her Legends at Sunset performance at the Gympie Music Muster on Friday, August 25, to a packed crowd on the Optus Hill Stage.
Since its original release in 2002, The Story of My Life has become her most requested song and an integral part of her illustrious career.
The single, which won the CMAA Female Vocalist of the Year Golden Guitar in 2003, quickly became a chart-topping sensation, capturing the hearts of country music fans everywhere.
Known for her emotive storytelling and heartfelt performances, Schneider’s music has touched the hearts of audiences across the country and this milestone anniversary provided an opportunity to revisit the song with a fresh perspective that only years can bring.
It’s a poignant reflection of her personal experiences and the wisdom gained over the past two decades – everything from sell-out seasons at Sydney Opera House with her Doris Day stage show and the brave choice to go public with her struggle with depression, to her marriage to Choirboys front man, Mark Gable, and the birth of their son, Sullivan.
“I am thrilled to share this updated version of The Story of My Life (the next chapter) with my fans,” Schneider said.
“It’s incredible to think that it has been 21 years since I first released the song and I wanted to celebrate this milestone by adding a new ending that truly represents where I am in my life right now.
“The journey continues, and all these years on, I am so happy to share the unconditional love I have finally found and for the opportunity to share the real happy ending with the fans who’ve been there from the beginning.”
As one of Australia’s most respected country music artists, Schneider has amassed an impressive catalogue of hits during her career and The Story of My Life (the next chapter), will be the second single from her much-anticipated upcoming album, Tender.
The re-released single is available on all major streaming platforms.
