About
On this blog, I’ll be sharing my thoughts from my 25 yeasr in recording, producing and songwriting. I’d also like to share with you some of the new things I’m doing…books I’m working on, new forms of media I’m using to challenge men in our generation, and some of the discussions I’ve had while walking and talking with folks I fellowship with. If you find it helpful, or if you know someone who would, please add me and/or pass along this link. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @thedavidmullen.

Great blog; I especially like the devotionals.
I have fond memories of your solo career in the ’90s; the song “Faded Blues” is going through my head right now.
Thanks Jeff
It’s always nice to be remembered… though that feels like a lifetime ago! Ha!
Thanks Jeff…you and my Mom..Ha! No I really appreciate it thanks!
Well you could always put out another album…or at least sing a song with Nicole on one of her CDs. That’s still my wish…
I was writing a devotion for our choir newsletter based on John 6:25 about why “they” really wanted to be with Jesus and you immediately came to mind and the song “To Be With You”. I hadn’t thought about that song in years! I decided to look you up and I’m loving learning what I’m reading about you and the ministry! May God bless you, and thank you for the day you were listening to that “still small voice” and wrote “To Be With You”…still brings tears to my eyes!! Is that Nicole singing those ad-libs toward the end? It sounds like the lady that either sang on “Diamonds & Pearls” or the Pink Floyd song on Dark Side Of The Moon…LOL…Blessings to you & your family!! Roy McNiel (www.gfbc.com)
Thanks Roy, I think it was actually Ashley Cleveland …either her or Kim Flemming who was a Nashville session singer back in the day, well probably still is
I didn’t meet Nicole until just after this record was released…or she most def would’ve been my choice!
Love Kim Flemming and Ashley Cleveland. Ashley actually sang at my 1st cousins funeral back in Knoxville many years ago. Definitely sounds like Kim Flemming…wasn’t she engaged to that incredible singer that committed suicide? So sad. I think I first heard him on a Charlie Peacock song…his name left me. Anyway, have a blessed day, week, month…however long it takes you to see this…LO
I just found this. You said it was nice to be remembered back in 2009 as if only 1 person was ever affected by your ART. I was a kid at 16 when the album Faded Blues saved my life. I love the beginning of Alone when you just breathe… later you blow out the sky vocally… The lyrics of Alone are so deep and true, making the song that you created so timeless… I was listening to Achtung Baby by U2 and Faded Blues during my darkest time… “You don’t have to be alone!”
I’ve always seen you as one of the unique voices among the abundance of copycats. I couldn’t find any christian albums at the time that described what I was going through until God gracefully dropped Faded Blues into my lap. Thanks again for creating. I was able to cry and ball my eyes out when I was otherwise left to my own thoughts and experience, leaving me a stone. Thank you! I’m 37 now and I’m still alone but for some of us, it is our destiny.
This got me…thanks
‘Get up and walk to the well child!!!”
I’m gonna take that lyric to heart! I expect to be blessed soon, as I have decided to get up and walk to His well.
Mo, that was taken from the part of the Gospel of John, where the man has been sitting there for like 40 years. He believed he only had to get into the pool and he’d be healed but he’d made excuses etc for 40 some odd years! One day you just get sick and tired of being sick and tired and you gotta just drag yourself down there and get in the healing water. Blessings on ya
