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 ↴
i don't know what to do
it's much to late to call
and it's too soon to go and see you
if i arrived
with a suitcase at your door
would you throw your arms around me
would we make love on the floor?
different lives
we sleep in separate beds
we sleep in different countries
while your voice plays in my head
if i had tried
to be smarter than before
would you tell me that you miss me
would you love me even more?
it feels right
won't you remember me
it's alright
just think of me
and you're always close to home
little lies
and feelings of regret
from wounds that never heal
from memories i'd fled
windy night
and trouble at the door
hiding in the quiet
i remember where you are
it feels right
won't you remember me
it's alright
just think of me
and you're always close to home
it feels right
won't you remember me
it's alright
just think of me
and you're always close to home
think of me...
The song Close To Home by Blue Six talks about the struggles of a long-distance relationship. The first verse mentions the singer feeling lost at 5 o'clock, too late to call but too soon to visit his lover. He wonders if his lover would welcome him with open arms if he showed up at the doorstep, and if they would make love on the floor. The second verse speaks about the distance between the lovers who live in separate countries and sleep in separate beds. However, the singer still feels connected to his lover as he hears their voice in his head. He wonders if things would be different if he had tried harder, would his lover miss him and love him more.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that the singer wants his lover to remember him always, no matter the distance. The bridge talks about the little lies and feelings of regret due to memories from the past that never seem to heal. The singer remembers his lover's presence during a windy night, hiding, and wishing to know their whereabouts. The song shows how the absence of a loved one can generate feelings of loneliness and a longing to be closer to them.

That's deep house for you. One of the only genres with such a seductive vibe to it.

I love just sitting on the balcony,overlooking the city. Maybe in the spa,all the lights flowing,with a fresh,chilled ICE TEA.
