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 !
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!
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❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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!
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.
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.
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. ❤❤
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
As a father dealing with cancer this song hits me in ways I've never felt with any other song. Keep the magic going Marc.
Hold your kiddos. I lost my father to cancer. Stay strong.
Fight till the end mate, no one knows when is gonna come our time

Occasionally something comes along that touches one’s soul . This does exactly that
A masterpiece created by a musical genius...
Didn’t know this song could get any better. Pedal Steel is exactly what it needed. Incredible.

Bless you!
Keep your head up brother. God has plans for us all. Weather we agree or not. It’s his plan. Prayers for you brother
Yes we are far more than this. This is not at all who we are. We are the entire universe and more.
This song brought back to my memory people who have been gone for a long time. Thank you for this.
DANG!! This is what hardcore country sounds like. Outstanding!!
That slide player is so perfectly fit Man I'm shook.
Pedal steel friend not a slide guitar
Some say, that you'll see a bright light,
Some say, you'll see black.
Some day, you'll cross over,
But you'll never be comin back.
Haunting, captivating sound.
Heartfelt lyrics and thanks for putting it down and letting it out for the rest of us 🙏
Just lost my cousin he was Diagnosed with cancer in the fall We talked a lot about what was in this song .Beautifully done!!!
You can rest knowing you have created one of those rare masterpieces in life that transcend all of time.
And so say all of us....
Didn’t think I could like this song more than I already did
There Is More To This!
As if this song could get more beautiful and BOOM it did! Simply exquisite. 🥰

Outside in nature, when the spring birds sing and the river flows.
Calm beauty and rebirth will resound ~ more love and blessings
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
My new favorite song! I listen to it on my 2 mile morning walks.
Oh my goodness gracious with your perfection and the pedal steel man, I will sit down and a good cry !!!

I am hoping Dead and Company cover this song during the upcoming concerts at The Sphere in Las Vegas.
Melancholy song. Deeply sad.❤
