Heather Myles gets her musical inspiration from a background that is as diverse as the artist herself. Growing up on a ranch in Southern California, Heather was immersed in the sounds of country music radio at a time when legends were being born. The voices of Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams all played a large part influencing Heather as a songwriter and an outstanding performer. Additionally, it was the sound of her dad's ukulele and grandpa's old Scottish bagpipes that have been responsible for shaping her into the artist she is today.
Heather's family, originally from Scotland, settled in Canada and eventually migrated to Southern California where they operated a ranch specializing in the breeding and training of racehorses. As a child, Heather always thought she would follow in the family business and even considered becoming a jockey. However, an extraordinary talent for music and her powerful voice would soon lead Heather to a much different track.
Now, after four CDs and several years touring the world, playing honky-tonks and opening shows for Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings, Heather is poised for stardom and ready to take her place on the main stage of Country and American music.
Indigo Moon
Heather Myles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout the last time I was there.
I spent the night out with a man I can't forget.
He rode into my life as fast as he left.
Indigo moon, shinin' down on me tonight,
You make me fell all right with your shade of blue.
Indigo moon, wish I could talk to you,
Tattoo on his shoulder, feather in his hair.
Eyes that looked right through me, as if I wasn't there.
And here in California, the skies are cloudy gray.
But if I listen closely, the wind whispers his name.
Indigo moon, shinin' down on me tonight,
You make me fell all right with your shade of blue.
Indigo moon, wish I could talk to you,
Give me a reason to hang on to Rio Do Sul, will you?
Indigo moon, shinin' down on me tonight,
You make me fell all right with your shade of blue.
My indigo moon, wish I could talk to you,
Give me reason to hang on to Rio Do Sul, will you?
My indigo moon, shinin' down on me tonight,
You make me fell all right with your shade of blue.
Indigo moon, wish I could talk to you,
Give me reason to hang on to Rio Do Sul, will you?

Heather is the best. I wish she would actively touring and come to Texas. I know she performs at her productions of TruCountry, but those a normally cover songs. The stuff she writes is AWESOME! Just like this song and so many others. Nashville is ignorant to not wisk her off her feet and back her.
