"LIFE ON MARS (is not that bad)", Indigo's second single. 

Imagine being able to leave planet Earth and move to Mars. For good. Leaving everything behind and starting anew on the red planet. Would you do it? 

The spaceman in Indigo's second single "LIFE ON MARS (is not that bad)" does just that. He embarks upon the journey of escape and the quest for belonging, exploring what life on Mars is like. What he finds is a haven where simplicity and honesty prevail. 

Blending Indigo’s intimate songwriting with synthetic soundscapes, "LIFE ON MARS" offers an evocative perspective on change and self-discovery.

Life on Mars is not that bad 
You think is cold, it’s warm instead
Things are better since I left 
Cause life on Mars is not that bad

They call things their own name
Love is love, hate is hate  
There is no such thing as pain 
Cause they call things their own name 

Well, I don’t say I don’t miss my home 
All that glitters is not pure gold 
All I needed is a place to belong 
And that cannot be where right is wrong  

Life out here is not that bad 
People fight but there’s no contempt 
They’re simply immune to resentment 
Moving here was no regret 

Life on Mars ain’t no surprise
Red sand and carbon dioxide
No rock, no excuse to hide behind 
Life on Mars ain’t no surprise

Well, I don’t say I don’t miss my home 
All that glitters is not pure gold 
All I needed is a place to belong 
And that cannot be where right is wrong 

I had my reasons for my goodbye 
But I might be back down the line 
But you know what, until then 
Life on Mars is not that bad

There are things that’ll never change 
You’re better off lying than you’re better off straight 
You’re better off straight is the reason we estranged 
I’m better off lying, and that’ll never change 

Well, I don’t say I don’t miss my home 
All that glitters is not pure gold 
All I needed is a place to belong 
And that cannot be where right is wrong 

I had reasons for my goodbye 
But I might be back down the line 
But you know what, until then 
Life on Mars is not that bad

LIFE ON MARS (is not that bad)

Born on the golden hills of Florence, London-based songwriter Indigo brings a chameleonic music style blending indie folk, blues vibes, and electronic sounds. Following two decades of experience as the frontman of several rock, blues and folk bands in Italy, Indigo moved to London, where he began performing in the local musical scene. 

The new life in London naturally came with several changes, and as he turned 30, he realised how profoundly his sense of home, family and friendship was evolving. These reflections suddenly catapulted him into a new songwriting spree. From one day to the next, he found himself writing numerous lyrics, building melodies and harmonies, compulsively trying out new ideas on his guitar. After months of constant work in 2023, he began shaping a defined, brand-new set of songs, touching themes such as bewilderment, balancing setbacks and achievements, and planning new beginnings. These songs soon found their way to the recording studio. 

In May 2024, he released his debut single Echoes, the first instalment of his new song production. A heart- wrenching reflection on broken kinships, Echoes explores the feelings of someone who no longer recognises his childhood home following a series of family quarrels. 

The launch of Echoes anticipates the production of additional tracks that are currently in the works. The release date of the second single "Life on Mars" is soon to be announced.
