Almost three years on, the trio named Buick Six have carried over that same deal-it-out-now, ask-questions-later approach to their music which has gained them a reputation as one of Brisbane’s most brazen live acts, securing Queensland support slots for You Am I, Tame Impala, British India, Sugar Army and The Fumes in the process.
Highly proficient in their raw musicianship, Buick Six could well have been born in another era, one smack-bang in between the high-energy rock scene of late 60s Detroit and the hazy days of Led Zeppelin’s rule, with a visit to early 90s You Am I thrown in for Australian taste.
Unabashed in their teeth-gritting urgency, the trio play classic guitar-driven rock with just enough dirt under their nails to be garage, though not so cool-for-school to snub their blues and roots influences which are worn proudly on the sleeves of their sweat-drenched t-shirts. Invading the space right through to the lungs, the unrelenting bottom-end signals each shift in pace with industrial-like, precision timing.
In 2008 Buick Six took their first tentative steps into recorded territory with The Buick Six EP, trapping the energy of their shows onto disc in a live recording at The Valley Studios. The release served as a calling card for their live shows and was an early indicator of local support, with tracks reaching the top ten on triple j’s overall Unearthed chart.
The second time around freak storms and a subsequent studio flood attempted to dirty up the sound of the Common Arms EP in a new way, seeping through precious masters and triggering a time consuming recovery process. Launched to Queensland audiences late in 2009, Common Arms lends the production talents of Robbie Carlyon from Numbers Radio who is certainly no stranger to the techniques of capturing sharp, gritty rock. Showcasing a clear development in song writing ability, the EP builds a newfound melodic tension over traditional progressions and good old wailing rock.
Buick Six will soon be making their first interstate in-roads, sharing with southerners what Queensland audiences have known for some time: Buick Six will break you down and wear you out. And just as you are led to believe that there are no more peaks to be reached and all efforts have surely been spent, Buick Six will drag you kicking to front and centre with the next furious wall of sound... and you will willingly let it happen all over again.
When the time comes – don’t dare miss out.
Real Love
Buick Six Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a real love, it's a real love
Standing up behind an electric guitar
It's a real love, it's a real love
And all the time I was thinking no way
And all the time I never thought I'd say
I found the love I've been looking for
It's a real love, it's a real love
Said come on baby we really got something
It's a soul connection, you're changin' my world
Give me your affection, be my girl
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love
The thing about you so far, you squeeze my peaches
You send me postcards of girls on beaches
You're drinking in a bar in Amsterdam
I'm thinking baby far out, be my man
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love
I found the love I've been looking for
It's a real love, it's a real love
Standing up behind an electric guitar
It's a real love, it's a real love
And all the time I was thinking no way
And all the time I never thought I'd say
I found the love I've been looking for
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love

From a Buick 6
뷰익 6 안에서
Highway 61 Revisited (1965)
I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kids
이 묘지에 사는 여자가 내 애인인데, 당신도 그가 내 아이들을 돌본다는 것을 알지
But my soulful mama you know she keeps me hid
그렇지만 감정이 충만한 우리 어머님은, 그가 날 숨겨 준다는 것을 알아
She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread
그는 쓰레기더미의 천사이고, 항상 내게 빵을 줘
Well if I go down dyin' you know she's bound to put a blanket on my bed
만약 내가 죽으러 내려간다면, 그는 내 침대에 담요를 놓을 거야
Well when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge
송수관이 부러지고 내가 잔교(棧橋) 위에서 갇히게 된다면
I'm all cracked up on the highway and in the water's edge
난 국도 위에서 산산조각이 되어 강가에 설 거야
And then she comes down the thruway ready to sew me up with a thread
그러면 그는 도로 위로 와서는 날 실로 기워 주지
Well she don't make me nervous, she don't talk too much
그는 날 불안하게 만들지 않고, 수다를 떨지 않아
She walks like bo diddley and she don't need no crutch
그는 보 디들리(1950년대에 활동한 미국의 R&B 가수) 처럼 걷고, 목발은 필요 없다네
She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead
그는 이 410 샷건을 모두 납탄환으로 채운다네
Well you know I need a steam-shovel mama to keep away the dead
죽은 자를 쫓으려면 굴착기 하나가 필요해
I need a dump truck baby to unload my head
그렇지만 내 머리를 땅에 놓으려면 덤프트럭 하나가 필요할 거야
She brings me everything and more and just like I said
그는 뭐든지 내가 말한대로 주지
@dylan11558
Dylan's voice is an instrument that brings the lyrics, the song to a level like no one else can.
@pistachoone1958
That's why he's one of the best singers if not the best
@robertozadik7499
Underrated powerful song..chosen words, strange hypnotic voice, rhythm boogie woogie..fantastic Dylan
@firstlasterson1213
Dont say 'boogie woogie'
@shoegazer01
Good words, powerful description, unfortunate use of boogie woogie tho. LOLZ
@Jalapablo
Not underrated at all to Dylan fans. Stephen King named a story after it, and this was Steve Jobs's favorite song
@firstlasterson1213
We all know
@bonnerscott5374
@First Lasterson Lol, thats funny.
@curtismoff
Definitely my favorite album from Bobby
@johndorfner8030
Got this when I was 13, it just came out. I am 70 now and never stopped listening to it. Still have the original album.
