You have an impact.

A Statement from Marcus: 

"I wrote The Difference You Make (2015) because I lost my soul brother to suicide in 2012. His name was Wade Fisher and something that I struggled with pretty heavily after he died was shame and guilt. I couldn’t stop thinking about all of the ways I could’ve saved him…all the ways I should’ve saved him. Shortly thereafter, I connected with a wonderful organization called, Samaritans. They embraced my grief in a way I had never experienced before and they invited me to consider all of the times I actually HAD saved him and just not been aware. I began thinking about the potentially life-saving secret impact that we all have on one another other each day and I wanted to write a song that spoke to that powerful dynamic.

If there is anything your listeners take away from this song, my hope is that they realize their own secret life-saving power and to anyone struggling with any kind of mental illness - you are not alone."
