Okay, okay, so I'm just one guy. But in the studio, I'm an entire band. I play electric and 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, mandolin, bass, keyboards, and drums plus do all the vocals and write all the music. I'm self taught and don't read music except for maybe chord charts. Well maybe not entirely self taught-mom got me started since she was a guitarist/mandolinist herself. But she played by ear too so guess that's where I got it. Not that I didn't do my time in various bands. The last, Legacy, was a full time road band until 1983 when I finally got to a space in my life where I told myself there's got to be a better way than just playing covers for a living. And then I found digital recording. Way cool...........

Story behind the song
I happen to watch a movie with Mel Gibson called "What Women Want". There's a minor character in the movie - a young girl who is lonely and convinced no one ever notices her or cares about her. It kinda struck a chord with me when I thought about how many people out there are just like this character and as we rush through our daily lives we never seem to notice to them. This is my anthem for them....
Lyrics
Indigo Moon ©2005 Mark Cullen Io Music Ltd. Indigo moon Knows her solitary darkness like a tomb She longs to be anywhere Shades of maroon Stain the leaves of her dwindling mood Chilled reason residing here Drifting to blue Scraping hope from her palette of gloom Why did she ever care? Was anyone ever there? So alone She remembers the radiant days It seemed so real in many ways Now all flown Sinking down She's turned around She takes it now But what of her longing Is it too soon to drown? Living fast you've seen her walking past But never noticed a walk too slow Another face lost in a faceless race Nothing that different from what you know While every step she makes she hides the toll it takes The pain is clawing at her waning resolve But she keeps trudging on Sad eyes blinded and drawn Her fear she hangs on a well worn dream But the emptiness weighs a ton Loneliness is just another tint Of all the colours she's come to know Sharp as winter blowing ever on There's a secret side She knows could make her strong She can hear the echoes Weaving through a song But it feels so out of touch Maybe wanting is just too much Indigo moon Knows her solitary madness in this room Shadows dead everywhere Indigo moon hiding silently the light for her cocoon the walls fading shapeless and bare Was anyone ever there? Indigo moon came too soon Indigo moon Ever immune
