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 ↴
You got inside of me.
I′ve given it all to be where you are...
Foolin' around, with something you don′t need,
I'm here with you now, but your love it bitter sweet.
Tell me what's been going on
Is there something I don′t see.
Look in your eyes and I know it isn′t me.
Feeling the sound,
That's moving inside of me,
I look in your eyes to see where you are.
Playin′ around with something you don't believe,
I′ll be with you now, but your love is bitter sweet.
Every once in a while
I can see an image of you and I.
With miles to go 'til the sea,
The look in your eyes, there′s a clear blue sky, longing to be free.
You've got inside of me.
I've given it all to be where you are
Foolin′ around, with something you don′t need,
I'm here with you now, but your love it bitter sweet.
Feeling the sound,
That′s moving inside of me,
I look in your eyes to see where you are.
Playin' around with something you don′t believe,
I'll be with you now, but your love is bitter sweet.
Want to be where you are.
Love to love you baby...
The lyrics to Blue Six's song "Bittersweet" speak to a complicated relationship between two people. The singer seems to be hopelessly in love with someone who may not reciprocate the same feelings. The first verse describes how the other person has "gotten inside" of the singer, and they have given everything they have to be with this person. However, it seems that the object of the singer's affection may be toying with them or not fully committed, hence being bitter sweet. The chorus repeats this feeling, with the singer confessing that they are "here with you now" but the love between them is a mixture of pleasure and pain.
The second verse asks for more transparency and honesty in the relationship, suggesting that there may be something going on that the singer is unaware of. The bridge speaks to the longing to be free, which could either refer to the object of the singer's affection being trapped in the relationship or the singer themselves wanting to be released from the hold the other person has over them. Overall, the lyrics convey the feeling of being trapped in a complicated and confusing relationship that is both exhilarating and painful.
