Marc is best known for the songs "Where You Are" and "Home." Broussard previously released several independent efforts, including 2002's Momentary Setback which spawned the hit "The Wanderer", a song about self discovery. A re-worked version of the song appears on Carencro. As of July 2005, "Home" was released as a single.
Although Broussard is rather unknown, he is characteristically known and critically praised for his strong vocals. However, he has garnered an uptick in popularity thanks to a snappy tune "Must Be The Water" which is featured in television commercials on TNT for the 2008 NBA All-Star game held in New Orleans.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come in from the cold
Close the door from the hurt that makes you feel alone
Time for you to shed that coat you've wrapped around your love
Lay here in my arms, let me hold you close
I'll warm your soul
Shake away all the tears you try to hide in vain
Tell me every fear that keeps you from this love of mine
Leave it all behind, lay by my side
I'll shelter you
I've been hurt just like you
I know how hard it is to give your love away
But baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is
Come in from the cold
But I've been hurt just like you
I know how hard it is to give your love away
But baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is
Come in from the cold
Throw off all of the memories that can weigh you down
Love's the only way to heal a heart that love has wronged
So baby give up the fight
You know it's right
Come in from the cold
But, baby you should know
I love you
You're my dying love, yeah yeah yeah
Girl, I'll make you warm
Shelter you from the storm
I wanna shelter you
Gotta shelter you
Place no one above you
'Cause I need you and I love you
And I want ya, oh baby won't you come on home

Found this song a couple of years ago and it grabbed me...try and listen to it from both sides...as if you are singing it to someone, and then, as someone to whom it is being sung....if you've been hurt in a relationship this is an incredible song of hope, hope that you will find love again...also, thought it as a wonderful song to sing to yourself...we all beat ourselves up...we deserve more
