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!

Very Good Friends
Blue Six Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's not too much to say
What can move a heart
When love goes on its way?
I know you, I know what I want to
It took a while to show it
There's no lie, no need to compromise
We're very good friends today
With all of the heartache in the past
Now I can trust you all the way
Cause I know you for who you are
When all of the judgments fall away
There's only the love that we began with
We're very good friends today
I let it go, you let it go, we left it all behind us
I can be a good friend to you
I let it go, you let it go, we left it all behind us
People change with time
In ways no one can say
Love can change a life
Make sense of all the pain
A very bad storm today
And only the thunder in the skies
Could lead to a rainbow come what may
Cause I've been through the tears and pain
When all of the anger falls away
There's only the love that we began with
We're very good friends today
I let it go, you let it go, we left it all behind us
I can be a good friend to you
I let it go, you let it go, we left it all behind us
We're very good friends today
I let it go, you let it go, we left it all behind us
I can be a good friend to you (so long)
I let it go, you let it go, we left it all behind us
(good-bye) (good-bye)
So long, so long
Good-bye, good-bye
So long, so long
Good-bye, good-bye
So long, so long
Good-bye, good-bye
So long, so long
Good-bye, good-bye
The lyrics to Blue Six's "Very Good Friends" reflect on the theme of growing apart from someone you used to love but still maintaining a friendship. The first verse acknowledges that people can grow apart without there being much to say about it. The second verse delves into the idea that people change with time, and sometimes love can change a life and make sense of all the pain. The chorus speaks to the idea that, no matter what happened in the past, the two people are very good friends today because they let go of the past and chose to move forward with their relationship in a platonic manner.
The song speaks to the complex nature of relationships and how people can evolve and grow apart, but still choose to maintain a connection in a different way. The decision to stay friends is not always easy, but the lyrics suggest that when it is the right choice, it can lead to a deeper understanding of the other person and a lasting bond. The repeated refrain of "so long, goodbye" highlights that while the romantic relationship has come to an end, the friendship remains.

A very bad storm today
A challenging trial in the present
And only the thunder in the skies
Only loud sounds in the atmosphere
Could lead to a rainbow come what may
Could potentially result in a beautiful outcome
Cause I've been through the tears and pain
As I have experienced distress and misery
When all of the anger falls away
When all rage is dissipated
We're very good friends today
Despite hardships, our friendship remains steadfast
So long
An acknowledgement of the end of something
Good-bye
A farewell message
