- “More To This” is out now…
A few days ago my 5 year old daughter asked me about death. I wasn’t prepared for that. As I walked down to my garage I was overcome with emotion… I sat on the steps and 20 minutes later this song emerged.
I’ve been blown away by how many people have connected to these lyrics. Your stories moved me to finish this song and release it as quickly as possible.
Thanks for meeting me in the vulnerability of this moment.
Now this song is yours.

You've brought tears to an old man's eyes. I've buried most of my family including several of my children. I've begged God to take me but he keeps me here for now. Your song is the question everyone thinks on in the darkness. God bless you for this. Thank you.
My heart goes out to you. Sending prayers 🙏🏻😢
Beautiful song to remember those we love. You have a purpose … I hope you realize it, no matter how small you may think it might be. It may mean the world to another, even a stranger. 💙
Your response touched me deeply. Sometimes we no longer feel important when so much loss around us crushes our soul. We each are here for a reason. Sometimes hanging on is our reason....and sharing that heartbreak with others so they realize they are not alone.
God bless you brother! I pray you get to see them again!
JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE..AMEN!!
I’m sorry for all your losses. In our pain we become kinder, more empathetic, and expand our influence of love. We spread these things. In my eyes, God has not taken you yet because you fill the people around you with these things. You are still here for a reason and my gut says you are still giving so much of these positive things.
Finally a song that resonates with every single person. Something with real meaning. It's beyond beautiful. A classic in itself.
A truly sublime work of art- this is different. This is special
✨️♥️✨️
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Winding Road” by SLT 🤘🎶🎹
Ren-Hi Ren
Another world wide resonate
Thanks sister...well stated.
Blown away by this song, I'm telling everyone about you and this song.
Likewise I've shared it to everyone that'll lsiten
Same for sure,
Me too….posted it and shared to close friends
Yeah, same here!! Love it
That's great ❤
Lost my mum today. Found this song without ever hearing it before. There is more to this! Beautiful song, voice, everything freaking beautiful.
God bless you.
Right when you needed it most. ❤
I just lost both my parents a few months ago and this rings very true to me. What an amazing song.
So sorry for your loss. I hope music is gonna help you through ❤
Je partage ta peine..❤
A man a guitar , his foot and a harmonica . Just goes to show the best music is pretty simple .
Ain’t that the truth
I thought the exact same thing, And his voice. Simple, peaceful, perfect.
“Fragile flowers in a field
60 stories made of steel
Birds above and business deals below”
Brilliant.
Ditto
Ima probably listen to this a million times. Caught me at one of those times
Amen!!!
Sorry for me this is the part of the song that makes no sense to me. its beautiful don't get me wrong , seems like it belongs in another song,
…I would always want a hundred more…
No words. 5’11. 225lb Tattoed biker. Husband. Dad of 3 epic kids. The 4 things in my life that keep me breathing. Sitting here with tears welling up in my eyes. Powerful.
😢❤
Beautiful song. My only child died. This song rings true. Hold on and cherish every moment with your children. You don't think it will happen to you.... Until it does
💙🙏🏼
😢
Your child is with you everyday. And with you and watching ❤
Sorry for your loss ❤️
God bless you. You WILL be reunited in your one true home.
Today my father and I went fishing, just drifting down the Mississippi slowly enjoying nature...Idk how much more time I have with him because he is getting older.... but this song came on and I could hear him tap his foot along with the rhythm....I'll never forget that moment.... the sun was setting and the sky was blazing an amazing hue of colors that was so beautiful 😢and after the song finished the waves lapped against the boat and for a second I remembered every time he took me fishing...and I realized he gave me the greatest gift of all....a wonderful father...and a best friend. I will miss him greatly when he is gone...then it will be my turn to show my kid what it means to be a good father and a good friend...love your family, life's too short to miss an opportunity to share a wonderful moment with them.
You made me cry thinking of my dad and everything he taught me❤😢
Thank you for writing this. So poignant and so true
Yes I know where ur coming from I was 2 lost my dad and mom am still recovering from my past
Beautifully said. You caused a little tug on my heart. ❤😊
I had a wonderful daddy we went fishing on party boats and when he was older & my mom died he came to live with me and I would take him to a fishing pier. I have many pictures I miss him with my broken heart. He was 94 when he died my mom died before him at 81 my son was hit by a bus and died at 21 yrs old. Now I am going thru a divorce after 30 yrs married. Yes I want to go home...
Lyrics:
I've been thinking about dying
And how it's ganna be
My skin and bones give up the ghost
And I finally feel my fragile soul
And all I am falls into mystery
I've been thinking about after
And all the folks I wanna see
My neighbors says that this is it
My daughter says we live again
Most of the time I'm somewhere in between
Don't the question beg an answer
Don't a song beg a dancer
Don't you dare
Tell me that there
Aint more to this
There's more to this
I've been seeing this life different
Ever since you had to go
Fragile flowers in a field
60 stories made of steel
Birds above and business deals below
And I've been thinking about our lifetime
Like I never had before
100 years or a 100 days
100 times no difference babe
I would always want a 100 more
Don't the question beg and answer
Don't the song beg a dancer
Don't you dare
Tell me that there
Ain't more to this
And don't our tears beg for laughter
I promise Ill love you forever
So don't you dare
Tell me that there
Ain't more to this
There's more to this
Can you add the chords to the lyrics?
@@paulrosas2302 ill see what i can do. i almost got it
Thankyou for sharing the Lyrics...
@@paulrosas2302it is just a 4/4 measure. The chords are Am C G Capo on 3rd fret. Picking pattern is bass the string under skip a string then up two strings. For example C is 5th string 4th 2nd 3rd. The chorus changes just a bit by adding an Em and picking up the index finger up on the C and removing the ring finger on the G. Hope this helps if you were asking for guitar.
Thank you for sharing!
A friend sent me this link. Today is my dads 🎂 birthday. He died in the tyrannical #19 lockdowns from a hospital acquired illness. Miss him. He was a strong father figure who showed his love through participation and action not words
You know you’ve found a good song when you listen to it 3 times back to back. This one rocked the empathy guitar within. This one rocked with sadness, joy and hope. Pure gold to my ears
Back to back a few more times than three, lol!! Can't hear this enough.
I've lost so many family members. I used to be the middle child of 7 and now I'm the oldest. My greatest hope is that there's 'More to this!'
Jesus brother
Jesus is the "more"
I am grown man and i cryed. ❤ Thank you for touching my soul ❤
Ditto. 51 and bawling
Marc, your "short" caught my attention yesterday and now hearing the complete song I am hooked!! Wow!☆ ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏
Same here.
It's not often that a song leaves me speechless. Real art makes people feel, this song is real art. Nicely done sir.
I lost my 6 month old daughter to tragedy, and I too have been looking at life completely differently since. To hear your child asking about death and this song coming from it... It's certainly no coincidence. Many people, myself included, needed to hear it. Thank you. Thank you so much for this. Truly.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine that pain
I’ve been struggling with mental illness since I was 6 years old. I will stay on this earth for the sake of my kids, but when God finally takes me home it will be such a relief to be finally free from this hell. I believe there is something more than this waiting and that keeps me going.
There is definitely more... even in the worst times we each have a purpose. Contribute to positivity.. smile at someone, be kind, give a compliment. Those are the moments that make the greatest impact on our stupid planet ;) You've got this!
Our new Bruce Springsteen,I'm listening to this on repeat for hours and I can't stop.you have soul my friend.thank you for restoring mine.❤
Reminds me of "Devils and dust" from Springsteen. Great voice
UA-cam just put this on my front page. I'm not even subscribed. Man, am I glad about it! LOVE THIS SONG.
I've been thinking about dying too, holding onto 30 years of PTSD, seeing old friends is welcoming. Seeing the love in my wife's eyes every time she grips my hand or wipes my tears tells me that there's more to this. I thank you for this song, it helps to keep me going
Things are hard…the world is off…This makes it a little better for a moment. ✨
I'm with my family that's no longer here every time I hear this. And my tears are just love I never got to express. Thank you for this ❤
I’ve been looking for a song, alone , all night long. I finally found it. There IS More To This
The weird thing is I have been having thoughts about my own death, not suicide, just about getting older and passing.
This song makes grown men want to cry. And that's when we know this is true art and there's nothing more to add.
Yes sir !
MORE LIKE THIS! REFLECTIVE, GENUINE, THOUGHTFUL, AMAZING! Great work!
I agree 💯!!
Every once in a while a song comes along that rocks you to your core, "This is one of those songs" The meaning of the song for me runs very long and very deep on a level but I'm not sure anyone can comprehend but me. I would like to let somebody know, whoever is responsible for this work of art there are no words to tell you how grateful I am for the song. ❤️❤️❤️
Buried my best mate, my first love today. One of the hardest days of my life. Came across a clip of this beautiful song on Tik Tock. I now have it on Spotify. The words are exactly how im feeling right this moment. Thank you x
Sending lots of love to you. I’m willing to bet everything I have that this song didn’t accidentally come to you.
I’m a 6 year widow - this path is so so hard. Find your strength. Be outside. Take your time. Listen to music. Laugh every chance you get. Lean into your support system.
Let your loved ones be the person you would be for them in their time of need. (if you don’t have this - please reach out to a grief support group - you do not have to do this alone. 🌿💚)
You are going to discover things about yourself that you never knew were possible. 💪🤟🤝
Remember it is an honor to have loved so fiercely. Grief is just another extension of that love. Travel with it. Embrace it.
It may seem as if the world is crashing down every other minute - it doesn’t stop - we just get very good at honoring the waves of fierce love.
❤️ Ever onward,
Just Some Internet Stranger 🌷
My mom died on Jan 22, 2024. This song came at just the right time. Love that the sound on this final version is like your first raw version on the stairwell! 💯
Your mom is always with you now in your heart ❤
Man. Even more beautiful and haunting in the stairwell. Thank you.
Shared this song everywhere. Gotta be the most beautiful song I have heard in a long time.
Today we are here, tomorrow perhaps not. It s in God s hand.
So love, care and enjoy to each other.
Life is a gift.
Im 50 only few days ago and have been told my times short, i inherited what took all my uncles before me, so god bless sll who receive the news i have received
It's funny. I was just thinking about my husband, gone now just over two years, very unexpectedly. And how now that life seems more like a strange cartoon than a reality. Just moments later, scrolling through my phone, this song began playing. It's haunting melody grabbed me before you even began singing. Thank you!
Very Springsteen Nebraska vibe. Except this is even better. What an amazing song. I'm speechless with tear filled eyes.
First time hearing this beautiful song shedding tears for my mother who will pass over soon from terminal illness. Rest in peace Mum, i love you so much i miss you already . My heart aches
I lost my sister in December23 and this just gives me such a beautiful feeling when I think of her thank you Marc this is helping me heal.
I can’t get enough of this song. The world should hear it. ❤
I can honestly say as a middle aged man and a recovering addict that these questions have been in my mind a lot and they are questions every single person asks sooner or later. Thank you for this amazing song.
The short also made me stop n listen. Then, I found this. I don't subscribe to much on Tube. This man's music is an exception. Thank you.
Sir, no bullshit...my girl and I have, have the new saying...100 more, couldn't be more true....thank you sir. Mad respect. Keep it up
This comment is from the Love of my life (@ryanlovvorn8024), and I'm the girl he's talking about. Sadly, we lost Ryan earlier this month (5/11) and this song takes on a whole new meaning for us. 100 more were the last words I whispered to him before I had to leave his body for the last time. Thank you for this song... I will cherish it for the rest of my life. I will always want 100 more with him.
Have to jump in quick and say....i love this guy ! Love it ! First listen 🙏
This song is so beautiful. Amazing job!!!
Found this song whilst waiting for a pysch review after my second suicide attempt this week.
Glad I survived long enough to hear this.
1 day at a time, 1 hour, 1 minute. Figured if I could get from1 to the other then maybe just maybe I could keep going. Hope you do too.
Please seek whatever the hell is that you need....
I have no idea if you're a man a woman a boy or a girl but I do know this you are a human being and worthy of life, now is the time to take whatever measures, legally, and build up to full control of your self, your soul, your future!
The help not hell
You are loved by SO many. You are important. Your life and your presence here is a precious gift. Give yourself love and patience. Life gets better.
@@JayTX.I admire your grit and courage. You are brave and strong.
I pray God will bless you.
I’m going to play this song for my two boys, 11 and 13, when I finally get home this week.
I’ve listened to this song five times. Could carry on listening to it forever. Numbers in my age say I’m old, don’t feel old. Body gets old and things get harder but still think I can do them, NO. I want this to be played at my funeral as it is the most positive sone I’ve ever heard about death. I came across this by accident.
Pure Gold. I could see this in a Yellowstone montage in the final season. Or the final song for the whole series. Beautiful
I thought the same thing .. while I lost interest in the show it’s turned me on to some great artists… this guy here is simply brilliant though
I’m with you on the shows direction. It’s kind of meandered the last couple seasons. I hope they can bring it full close, without a GoT debacle of a final episode.
I could feel the presence of God. Perfection.
I just buried my dad, both parents are gone and a baby sister. Your song touched me deeply, God bless. I found this song by watching your UA-cam short version. Its really good.
My husband passed away 6 months ago. This song hits me hard. Thank you
This song is meant to be spread across the world, absolutely wonderful! Love from Sweden 🇸🇪 ❤
This song is truly brilliant. Feels like the long lost sequel to the acoustic version of I'm on Fire
I have 2 teens and an uncurable illness. We've talked about death more than once. Not the most pleasant conversation. Your lyrics are genuinely accurate. Been with the same woman for a 1/4 of a century too.
Haunting, inspirational, hopeful, and meaningful. Woke randomly, looked at phone to check time, and this was on. Been thinking of my 91 yr old Mom still with us and a friend who just lost his Dad suddenly and must have listened 30 times - the first time. Soul healing and soothing. Feel free to play this at my funeral one day my friends. This is deeply honest and written for child and reminds me how much I love mine and want to be better for him each day. Song belongs to be a mega hit ‘YellowStone’ style, but because of how it found me will always be private and meaningful moment to me thinking of lost loved one I’ve lost, will lose, and never want to lose. Thank you good sir. Music soothes the soul and you’ve soothed many with your music and story how it came about. Someone get him on the Tonight Show - music is meant to share.😢😊❤
This song is beautiful and everyone can relate to these words. The physical death is so tough on us emotionally but we must always remember, the Soul lives on forever. We are energy and we will always shine. ❤
I been waiting all week for this song to come out to show my grandfather. Me and him are both musicians, and he likes more classical stuff, and he absolutely loved it. Keep working on your passion, brother truly its a inspiration to all musicians of all ages.
Yesterday, I got the news that a dear friend died after a short but difficult battle with illness. “Don’t our tears beg for laughter” - my memories of him, almost every single one, are full of bellyaching laughter, the kind where your eyes can’t help but fill with tears. I’m not sure that the timing of this song crossing my path is entirely a coincidence or algorithmic happenstance. Thank you for this song.
Hug your loved ones tight.
Where has this guy been! Bravo. I’ll start listening to him now for sure. 👍👍👍
I'll say it since no one else is - he is a Bob Dylan for our day - beautiful, powerful and timeless - this song will live forever
I was thinking that also. Very "dylanesq" if you will. As a 51 year old I've listened to lots of Dylan. What an amazing songwriter he is amazing. I think I'd give Lucas the edge in his voice, though.
I think that song "Girl from the north country fair" done with Johnny Cash is one of my personal faves.
Vulnerable and pure as the best folk songs usually are. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow, left me speechless. I love everything about this song, the LYRCS, the SINGING, the guitar and the harmonica at the end. Beautiful, soulful, and begging the question...
I miss my dad, sadly he passed away two years ago at age 65 due to cancer, we spent the last moments together until his body gave up, I knew he was time as soon as he looked at me and grabbed me by my hand, that last touch 😢 and that last look was his goodbye. Love you Daddy wherever you whould be. I hope one day will meet again. ❤
Love is all we all need, and PEACE in our soul and around the world in this difficult days.
Thank you for this song.
WOW! Congratulations on such a great song! When my daughter was five she asked me about death too. I was not prepared for the conversation that followed. That was a long time ago, but I will never forget that day.
That was outstanding Marc! I've been feeling the same since I lost my parents and sister. Thank you for helping me deal with this special song ❤
Lost in the lyrics. The harmony takes you to somewhere else altogether. Wonderful 💚♾️
Thank you for putting into words what my heart feels. 💔💔💔 I attempted to save my father's life, and failed. I saw the silken bonds of life leave his body...I will never be the same.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Ecclesiastes 3:11
One of those songs you never want to end. Stunningly beautiful. ❤
There are just some songs you hear and they’re like a swift punch to the gut of emotions in the best way possible. This is one of them. Thank you for writing this, it’ll be a song that will stick with me for a lifetime.
This song is 🔥 it touched this dark soul 💯
Beautiful, Sir. Very, very beautiful.
Put the lid back on the onions! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Stumbled across this on a short.
Absolutely fantastic song. Shared it with my family before I even heard it all.
I was watching and listening to an Instagram post of my daughter and new granddaughter, remembering the warmth and joy of holding that dear new baby just a day ago. Your video came up next and I continued to watch. I was immediately drawn in to listen. My husband and best friend of 53 years passed away in January. Ahhhh the yin-yang of life. Your song, “More to This”, speaks to me. The lyrics, your voice, guitar accompaniment, and harmonica finish are perfect. I will carry your song in my heart forever. Thank you.
Ma'am, I'm so sorry for your loss. My daddy and mom was married 64 years...daddy went home a month ago. Mom is having to learn a new life without her best friend and confidante at her side. He is all she has known since she married him all those years ago. They were children in our eyes today, at 13 for her and 17 for him..... but they pushed through. I will pray for you, Miss Ruth. I miss him so very much, my advocate and friend...but it is nothing, I'm sure, to what my mom is feeling at the moment. Good day, ma'am..
Sometimes art just needs to exist. You were blessed with this.
Straight to to the heart ❤
I love this song. I am a retired hospice nurse.
Beautiful song Marc! Thank you so much. Much love!
I love this! I really wanna here the full version of the sound of you in the reel you made for instagram. It feels so much more real. This version is amazing but that reel just made me feel it so much more.
Such a great song! The beautiful melody, poignant lyrics, and tonal qualities of the vocals trigger such powerful emotions within. This is an instant classic! 👏👏👏
Been following Marc since the Ron Paul campaign days. He just gets better and better. This style is totally his wheelhouse. Love it! This song is fantastic.
✌️💙
A buddy of mine showed me this song about a week or so ago. While listening to it tonight I prayed to God that He would reveal Himself to you and help you to see that there is more to this. While praying I felt Him saying “why don’t you tell them about Me.” So friends I promise you there is more to this, and it’s eternal life in paradise with a perfect God, with no more pain and suffering, only joy and peace! Jesus loves you so much that He sacrificed Himself for your sins. He was thinking of you while he hung on that cross. Jesus said in Revelation 3:20 “Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and him with Me.” Jesus is knocking at your door today friends. Will you answer?
His daughter is correct we live again in the Kingdom of Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙏❤
The real truth is that no one knows…. And that’s okay, we don’t need to fill in the gaps of what we don’t know
Amen. Thanks for sharing. I was saved on May 7th, 2018. I heard the gospel and cried out to Jesus, and He saved me from my sin and hell and gave me eternal life. Now I know Him.
Thank you 🙏
@@ericmathis2951 praise God! Salvation is by far the greatest gift any of us can ever receive!
I want this song to blow up but at the same time i dnt want alot of people to hear it because then everyone is gona be playing it and ruin it for me😂
The right people will find it when they need it. I just found it too and I needed it
Well said. It found me. I want to keep it for myself; but it’s too good to not share - this music heals the soul and more good souls need to hear it.
Beautiful song. Make think of my daughter 38 years old, beautiful soul passed 2019. Life is never going to be what it was. Life is a gift that we take for granted especially when we experience the pain of loosing someone we love more then life.
This song deserves to be on the charts. Best fraking song I've heard in ages....
I swear to God… if it wasn’t for my kids…
My kids are definitely what keeps me from falling into the abyss.
God loves you. There is a reason why we are talking right now
Sending love and blessings 🙏🏻🫶🏻 xx
Amen , my 2 daughters are the only thing keeping me here!!!! The rest of my family has all passed, I'm in severe pain depression anxiety and POST TRAUMATIC STRESS has made my life a living hell... I'm ready to see if there is more to this!?!?!
This life is hard but I do live my kid more than anything 😢
Coming to Apple Music soon?
Definitely easy hit song on the radio. No problem ❤
I'm a person who's struggling to find a reason to stay.....this song has me wondering if it time...I don't know...thank you no matter what
I swear you can't win at life without God
My little brother just passed away. We’ve been playing it on repeat. This song hits home and helping with the grieving. Waiting for the chords and lyrics so I can start playin it.
Excuse me but I think I just fell in love. Unsure what I needed more. The finger picking. The lyrics. The depth. The purity. The harmonica. I needed this. I so needed this.
Im rounding the bend of my life and this song really hits me ! Im making a list for my kids to play st funeral and this is number 1, ty
We’re all part of the mystery or somewhere in between. Life is sacred. Peace ☮️
Cette chanson parle a tous le monde, renvoie a nos dechirures les plus profondes alors qu'on essaye de surnager. Mais tellement belle, tellement juste et tellement profonde.
A masterpiece thank you Marc
You know when you hear a song once and are immediately in love with it? This is that song for me! Amazing! So beautiful!
1:11am this morning my little girl got her wings this song hits home
I’ve been wanting to meet Jesus and God but I’m scared to do it myself and I’m scared of any pain or suffering, one day I will ignore that last physical and mental wall that stops me from going through it. For now, I enjoy listening to this. It’s been a rough 28 years since birth. Somewhere it went all wrong and if it wasn’t for my mom I would’ve done it already, I don’t even know why I made this comment, just sitting here in my apartment looking around I just feel alone. Wish my grandma and grandpa were still around. I have to feed my dogs and walk them now until my girl gets home from work. I think her and everybody would be happy I’m gone too. One day soon 🤞
Yes I am in that place
This is the goddamn best song i have heard in a very long time. My mother was a depressed hippie, but she always put on good music like muddy waters. I guess what i am trying to say is that this fells like a classic already. Good job!
