Summer Clothes

The Album "There Is Time" seeks to make sense of the tension that time provides us.

In a very real sense the statement "There is Time" is so true.

So often we forget that life is a process. We see people 'so far ahead of us' and can feel discouraged as we compare ourselves. The reality however, is that it takes time to grow, to mature, and to become the fullness of ourselves.

However, it is also true that today we could breathe our last breath.

In this tension we exist.

In the same breath we know that we have time to grow and also that our days are numbered. I find this both beautiful and challenging. The key I think, is to not place your focus on the fact that you may die tomorrow, but in the fact that you are alive today. In this sense the thankfulness of being alive now, and the joy that comes with that allows us an opportunity to take a step towards who we are meant to be today. In short, that is what the songs in this album are all about. Thanks for listening.

Sometimes, a universe of meaning can be found in a question from a child. When Marc Scibilia’s five-year-old daughter asked him about death, words failed. So, he sat on his back steps and wrote More to This—a plaintive tune about life’s big dilemmas and blessings shared with those we love. In an uncertain age, the song struck a chord with listeners, becoming a viral sensation overnight.

The Buffalo-bred, Nashville-based singer-songwriter makes soulful music on his own terms, channeling the national mood. Finding inspiration in folk, country, alternative and anthemic pop music, he has crafted a distinctly American sound that's rueful yet buoyed by hope.

Driving it all is Scibilia's determination to stay grounded by what really matters. It's a lesson the fiercely independent artist's five-year-old helped teach him. “You chase things your whole life,” says Scibilia. “But the real blessings and beauty of life are right there with you the whole time.
