CHICAGO, IL – September 9th, 2024 – Sarantos, the prolific singer-songwriter known for his emotional transparency and eclectic style, is set to release his new single and music video, “I’m Sorry This Is the Life I Gave You.” This deeply personal rock ballad captures Sarantos’ feelings of regret, vulnerability, and self-reflection.
In his own words, Sarantos explains the heart behind the song: “My therapist says I try to be everything to everybody. It’s true. I do. But most of the time, I feel like I’m a failure and nothing to everybody. So I wrote this song about how I usually feel—like I haven’t given the people around me and the ones I love the most everything I should have given them. And for that, I’m sorry. I made this music video as a way to apologize to everybody I’ve let down.”
The accompanying music video enhances the raw sentiment of the song. Sarantos notes, “At first, it was kind of like noise, then it started to have a story, and then the story started to make sense.”
“I’m Sorry This Is the Life I Gave You” is more than just a song—it’s a heartfelt apology set to music. With a wavering vocal performance that reflects the sadness of the subject, Sarantos delivers an emotional punch. The song, though short at under three minutes, drags intentionally, building an atmosphere of melancholy that is as relatable as it is poignant. This sentimental rock ballad invites listeners into Sarantos’ world—one filled with reflections, mistakes, and above all, raw honesty.
