I almost died this month. The doctors told my family I wouldn't leave the hospital. There are so many things that kept me alive. As I rode to the hospital in the ambulance my defibrillator went off 14 times. I am not sure what's out there but there is something. Thank you God for your help.....
My dad just found out he has cancer. I’m not close to him. I don’t really know him. But I’m sad for him. I’m sad for you and your family. I hope you and your child(ren) are close. I hope you stay with your family for years to come. If not, leave them great memories, my friend.
I lost my adult son to cancer 18 months ago. My mother-in-law a year before to SARS-2. Her husband this year, most likely. I have a medical record like a phone book, I’m full of holes and problems, heart issues and stroke aftershocks… but I get to watch others go ahead of me. Songs like this pull at unhealed wounds, but this song makes me smile while the tears fall. We are far more than this.
I love the acoustic version for it's starkness but then the harmonica finish seems to leave me hanging a bit. This pedal steel version pulls the ending together and adds a visceral pull that's very evocative. Something's not 100% dialed in for me on the vocalizing at the end but every version I've seen - including the formation of it on IG - has been incredibly moving to me. Whatever you ultimately land on, this song is a gift and you crafted it stunningly. Your voice is perfect for it as well. 🙏🏻💙
I really liked the vocals in the stairwell version. They were raspy and seemed more emotional. I’d love a mix of that and this, but those two versions are so good.
Being listening non-stop, it reminds me of Bruce Springsteen song that I was playing non stop when my 20 years old died in a motorbike accident. Still thinking back at that day. If only I would have gone riding with him that day maybe he would still be here. I¨ve been living a lot for him too. Today 53 almost I have lost so many family and friends that I truly hope there is more than this... Keep playing - you inspire me to start playing the harmonica which I have loved all my life. Thanks glad to share Earth with you! ❤❤🩹
I love this song, got hooked immediately ! So deep, sweet and heartfelt existential thoughts and emotions we alll need to process and articulate sooner or later....Thank you !
NO. TO BE ABLE TO SIMPLY ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL SONG WITH OTHERS WITHOUT RELIGIONISTS SETTING OFF THEIR VIRTUE SIGNALS LEFT AND RIGHT, NOW -THAT- WOULD INDEED BE HEAVEN.
Marc, this version is beautiful.....❤What a difference that Pedal Steel makes. I'm not sure what that is but the song is different, that "country twang" makes all the difference. Love this❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great song. Being out in nature for a couple of days you start getting an answer to this question . What is death and what happens after. But it’s like a song I can hear playing right in my ears that I can’t sing …but can’t help listening.
One of the most beautiful and pertinent songs I've ever heard. Can't stop playing it in my head and it brings back old memories and emotions. Well done!
What the heck??? In another Video I wrote:"What a great song!! In my mind I hear a Steelguitar and Violins in the background! Wonderful, thanks a lot for this! And here it is! A Steelguitar!! Thank you so much!
Have been hooked on this since you started it. The acoustic is still my fav but moreso because it was so "raw" and lets face it, this topic is raw. Anyway, love the addition of the steel. Subtle but haunting. IMHO, the vocals at the end feel misplaced somehow...like it detracts from the lyrics that leave me pondering...is there "more to this." Keep on with your vision. ❤❤
Marc - don't know if you remember me but we connected a few years back. I spotted you at Mas Tacos but didn't want to bother you but later connected at your solo show in Nashville. do you still garden? If so, I'd love to connect on something I'm working on....
This song so sweet to the soul this here ...is the one... I could listen on repeat ...all day but I would be on suicide watch according to my kids . Love it
