“More To This” - Porch Sessions

[@dewrus2153]

Harlan Howard once said all you need to make a good country song is three cords and the truth. This song is the epitome of that notion. THIS is the type of music radio stations should be playing more of...instead of so much over-produced noise some are trying to pass off as music. Songs like this are simple, meaningful, and anyone who has ever lost a loved one in their life can 100% identify with these lyrics.

[@Jim_McFarland]

Well said

[@Portekberm]

As a songwriter, this is the best new song I’ve heard in many years.. Beautiful

[@auzkahglt]

as a non songwriter i agree

[@MusicManney]

I agree! Marc is an incredible talent!

[@MrKcool25]

I agree as a songwriter. Minus Heaven by Kane Brown in addition to this

[@leeming5249]

I was randomly scrolling through shorts when the preview for this appeared, it took me 2 notes to pause the scroll, and about 5 seconds to realise that this was something very special. Beautiful tone, but most of all fantastic storytelling.

[@humanze]

Only a gifted songwriter can come up with a song so rich in sound and deep meaning and yet so simple that a hack like me can quickly learn to play it. Thanks for the beautiful gift Marc!❤

[@marinasgerold427]

As we age we question our mortality and ask these questions. I am now 71 gonna be 72 in October so this really hits home. I am the lone survivor of my core family so I can't wait to see my family again. I miss them all so much especially over the Holidays. Where there used to be 12+ now there is only me. So all these questions and musings have merit. Bravo. Thank you for a beautiful song. May your career and Life flourish.❤

[@pamlewis2581]

Just perfect summary of what we all want the answer to...thank you for putting it to such beautiful music 🎶💗

[@MrKcool25]

Just got this from a girls father that’s 71-72 years old. He is roughly a sole survivor of his family at this point. I’m barely over half your age and as a sole survivor of my family this really hits home. I’ve been questioning those things ever since I was a kid. I know too early but you just never know. Everything can be over overnight

[@Gngrcpl]

I’m 42 and just realized my own mortality about a year ago. Still haven’t come to terms yet

[@BenjaminKibbey]

Bless you. I'm the youngest of six. I can still recall the night when I was about 5 years old or so, following the death of my great grandmother, that I first realized a day would come when memories of all the Christmas mornings and family vacations and even just the way my dad always smelled of coffee and aftershave would exist nowhere outside of my own mind. If I got any say in what heaven should be like, I'd want some kind of giant family table and everyone sitting around joking and laughing and debating like we always did.

[@CanTunaGuitar]

my friend, play this to as many people as you can... it's a very special song... absolutely beautiful.

[@JB-tr6nu]

Heard this yesterday learned to play it today almost got the lyrics down , I'll be 69 to soon,in a few day's..song resonates with life but when old age creeps up on you it really hits home...Thank You & your daughter .. Much Love ✌🏽❤️🎸

[@its-me1216]

Well said from one 69 year old to the other. Peace on your journey!

[@JB-tr6nu]

@@its-me1216 you as well brother ✌🏽❤️🎸

[@terrieanndiehl58]

Me too~ 64 in a month ~ Not physically well for 2 decades~ feeling like I'm 80 physically yet my Spirit is still the 5 yr old free & pure Spirit connected to all of life in love & nature continues to be my best friend ~ the young girl in me still wants to dance all the day long into the full moonlight with the Faeries most cannot see~ And i still do when i can. Neighbors watch me as I dance with my living tree & sing at the top of my lungs until the time in the city says be quiet. So many have gone & leaving now~ Perfect awesome song about here& the Free Spirited Soul ~Woosh~ into the all when we leave this precious body. that allowed us to exclusive this all~ Great Gratitude For This Song!!! 🎶💚🎶

Make us a tab 😆

[@chef24jim]

My life has seriously been hit hard in the last month. My wife has left to stay with friends, I'm watching our 3 kids and working full time and trying to hold it together. I'm holding onto faith we'll pull through and be stronger but mental health is a hard road to navigate. God's been at my side, but this song has hit me so deeply in this time... thank you brother, keep creating, this is special.

[@xochi8560]

God will lead you to the direction you need to go….trust in HIM….continue to keep your eyes and ears fixed on HIM. You will now which way to go.🙏🏼 Sending possible energy in your journey 🙏🏼

[@zinntarapata6358]

Sit at the Feet if Jesus he will heal you, he will council you, he will love you. He has for me and I'm no one special

[@chasm43]

Stay strong brother, I share your pain. Wife and home gone, job lost in Convid and looking after 98yo incontinent deaf ffrail ather. sometimes it seems all too much but I find beauty often and will stand on my feet tomorrow and every day after

[@jongarcia4223]

Keep God at your core Brother...this too shall pass!

[@highplainshollarhomestead3188]

Hang in there bud. I'll ask God to bless you. You only need to believe it.

[@kanubeenderman]

there are certain songs that are just meant to be, like a force of nature, just bursting out all at once, classic and timeless. this is one of those. thank you for letting it happen.

[@margaretdunne1676]

The lyrics, the voice, the guitar what a treat to the Senses.

[@albertosuastez1326]

a masterpiece. I don't throw that word around, my friend. This is amazing, I wanted the song to keep going, verse after verse, chorus after chorus.

[@oliverh-m4228]

Man, every version of this I love! From the first verse on the stairs... this is turning out to be one of my favorite songs ever...

[@addictedtocraic]

I honestly cant remember the last time Ive been touched by a song on first listening like this. Amazing. ❤

[@francesdoll4039]

I know more dead people than living. The eternal question. Campfire on the otherside is getting mighty crowdrd.

[@jhopkins0978]

I’ve never thought of old age this way…great way to sum up where we end up if we live long enough.

[@boogaloojedi9279]

Been jamming this song once or twice a day all week now... I have to say; In my lifetime there has been a handful of songs, maybe something like 1 per year, that just drives it's message and emotion to the core of my soul and there it sits tattooed in the center of me. I'll carry this song with me for the rest of my life and the next. For that I am forever grateful to you

[@tomdaley9154]

Wow. Never had anyone say that right outta my mind before. Awesome and true

[@Saghilarious]

I'm trying to learn how to play it and I can't get through the lyrics before I start crying.

[@MaxandMe]

Sounds like you have a song right there in your message!

[@madelinehayden3415]

Nothing beats more than how we understand how to live... this song somehow gives a direction

[@TheMitchellShields]

Don't a song beg a dancer... BARS. Thank you for this beautiful song Marc!

[@fontainefitness5698]

It makes me so happy to keep coming back to this video and watching the views going up and up each time.

[@MaxandMe]

Found this on Good Friday. Jesus is the answer to the question. Glad to hear your beautiful gift from God!

[@rsquintana1]

Amen! 12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you are called and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.

[@derekgladden5200]

Wow… I don’t find new music that’s this moving very often. Dude from one musician to another… bravo!

[@TheRysmith]

What a fantastic singer/songwriter! I absolutely love this song!

[@melodyfisher2966]

I lost a good friend a month ago.. She had been ill for a couple years and chose to stop seeking treatment to prolong her condition , which was never going to improve, treatment was painful and each time she had a crisis it was worse than the previous one. .She was blessed to be able to see her loved ones, and many friends. Make her own choices about her celebration of life . We tend to fear death... to live well, love much and prepare for the next step are gifts. Many thanks to Hospice workers who give such amazing care and help.

[@bonnykowaski]

"Don't you dare tell me that there ain't more to this." Absolutely, soulful & spiritual! Love it!❤️💋

[@evktheartist]

I had a stroke 17 yrs ago and my life was turned upside down, Almost all my friends disappeared. I asked God, why this, why this. Of course it was natural to call out and cry out for hope. I started all over again and my faith in God grew ever larger, deeper. Life is more than the things we see. I'm not just a bag of flesh that lives and dies. I have a purpose and I'm so glad I regained so much back and much much more. I see the world differently; I forgive quicker, I love with more sincerity. and more reflection. Jesus gave me more life to live and I want to live it well.

[@munkies3]

I write this through tear filled eyes, your lyrics wash over me, a truth I can’t run, their weight heavy, the cracks are there, the damn is breaking, I’m afraid of what comes next. ty for this song.

[@rsquintana1]

THIS SONG Is special because of the times we are living. Many people are thinking of that day, and I as a Christian a beliver in Jesus Christ I think of how is going to be when we fight the good fight to make it to the arms of Jeuss! 12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you are called and have professed a good profession before many witnesses. .‭Matthew 24:13-14 MEV‬ [13] But he who endures to the end shall be saved. [14] And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

[@plainolded5030]

PlainOldEd ..... My daughter says we live again .... Thank you Marc. Thank your daughter for asking, "about death". I think I have listened to/watched every version on You Tube, (Porch Sessions is my favorite, I can see the chords.) The songs always start by tearing me up. There is something in this song that is me . Spiritual and Magical !!

[@rhondar.]

I have listened to all of your recordings of this song. The basement one is my fav! Your voice is what makes it. Thanks for your talent & for your daughter asking that question.

[@bradmyrick1149]

My children keep me here, but I can't wait until I can hear the laughter from my brother again. I don't want to die, but I will welcome it when it comes.

[@DaleBarbour-p3v]

This song really touched my heart as I'm sure it did most who have heard it. Keep it simple bro. Simply beautiful.

[@salvatorecarrera1209]

What a beautiful song in every single way.

Met this guy when he played at Bellyup Aspen last year and man oh man what a great singer/song writer he is. I can’t stop listening to this it’s too good!!

[@andyoates8392]

This is a pure classic. Pure magic. 💚♾️

[@benwade7151]

Life has been heavy on my mind for some years now. Most of us didnt realize it when we were younger but years roll by like minutes. After losing dear friends my age and family that at one time seemed like would always be around like my grandparents really does remind me of just how short this ride is. Every day is a blessing take nothing for granted. Blessed be everyone😢

[@munk469]

Absolutely beautiful, haunting, meaningful, We all walk our own path. We all carry our own baggage. But there is wonder in laughter. Yet, we all face eternity on our own. Thank you for this video.

[@suzannelane9931]

I have lost many friends, but I don’t have anyone in my life who lies and plays mind games with me. This song is a masterpiece.

[@rustycline6848]

Every great once in a while I hear a song and think, Damn I wish I’d written that one. There’s more to this!!! Thanks for writing this one. ❤

So wonderful. Our souls meet again . I have been with many people who have died. They see the family, etc. our souls live on.

[@HockeyPop29]

I share this song with everyone I know. You have a gift...

[@BenjaminKibbey]

Heard this song for the first time a few weeks ago, and I keep coming back. I think the next time someone asks what I do believe, this will be my answer. All the answers, faiths, and legends I have encountered seem too small, too simple, yet something in me cannot quite let go of the thought that dismissing them all as just wishful thinking is no less simplistic.

[@taylrobi]

Add me to your cheering section also. Great fingerpicking. Moving. I'm 77, and those thoughts do go through my mind. Peace brother!

[@kimberlyquinn2496]

Man, I just have not been able to get this song out of my head for the last what....month? I caught the Insta post of you singing the initial idea in the stairwell and it caught me so hard. My younger sister passed away on October 4th from renal cancer. The song has been the perfect salve for my spirit.

[@alecanderson314]

I could only dream of talent like that, instead I’ve been cursed with associating a numerical/monetary value with everything my senses can pick up. Last name Anderson, They call me Androidson to give you context, One thing I can tell you, this song alone will allow your daughter the financial capability to navigate down any path in life. This song will be remembered in a way that we know “Let her go” Passengers, Amazing job.

[@collidingworldsmusic3957]

[@johnbalzano6588]

This is the age-old question. What happens to our soul after we die? It's funny how this song finds me 3 days before the 2nd anniversary of my sons death. I often wonder if he is with family that has gone before him. Will my wife and I be reunited with him when we die? I hope so, but we will never really know until it's our time.
