II. BLUESIX
Six fine blues men make up Bluesix. Their blend of precise and rockin' blues comes via guitar, bass, drums harmonica and sax. This set rides hard out of the gate with the title song "Ready" and a guitar that could cut steel. Some familiar material gets an airing, with original songs making appearances too. It all blends nicely as the Bluesix players are always working in a synced-up fashion with the others and producing well arranged tunes. Recording is good and the sound is tough, with the pedal to the metal most of the time. The Netherlands is a great place for the blues and Bluesix is right in there contending for one of the top spots. Good songs and super solid blues rock!

Blue Six Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hard to find
Love is blind
Acquaintances can be unkind
State of mind
Show a sign
Hope divine
Just making love to pass the time
Music and wine were the only friends of mine
Used to make love just to have a laugh
Music and wine were the only friends I had (here's that lovin' 2x)
Bitter break
Hard to take
Hearts'll ache
This loneliness is hard to face
Hollow soul
Freezing cold
Feelin' older
And poverty will take it's toll
Used to get high just to pass the time
Music and wine were the only friends of mine
Used to make love just to have a laugh
Music and wine were the only friends I had (here's that lovin' 2x)
Gin and lime
Summertime
Starry nights
And memories of better times
Ocean breeze
Wind in leaves
Waking dream
Alive with possibility
Here's that lovin' here's that lovin'
This love's for real that lovin' here's that lovin'
The lyrics of Blue Six's song 12-Music and Wine convey a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the different phases of life one might go through in search of love and happiness. The first stanza discusses the challenges of finding true love, acknowledging that sometimes we find ourselves in undesirable situations with people we barely know, but still hope for a divine intervention. The second stanza touches upon the struggles of loneliness and heartbreak, depicting a hollow soul that feels increasingly older and colder in the face of poverty. However, the third stanza offers a glimpse of hope, conjuring a beautiful image of a serene summer night with a refreshing gin and lime in hand, and acknowledging that memories of better times still exist.
The song's repeated reference to "music and wine" as the only companions of the singer in the past suggests that perhaps they relied heavily on these vices to cope with life's ups and downs. However, as the music progresses, the listener is uplifted by the upbeat rhythm and the message that love is real and that it is always within reach, even if we have to go through challenging times to find it. The lyrics subtly urge us to not give up on the search for love and to embrace the beautiful possibilities that life has to offer.
