Queen Bee Lyrics

Wie geht's denn so
Amüsiertst du dich
Na bin ich aber froh schließlich hast du bezahlt
Also nimm's mir nicht übel
Tief in mir, da ist ein Loch
Ich bin reingefallen
Doch ich lebe noch
Irgendwas tief in mir
Fragt immer wieder "Ey, was machst du hier?"
Und diese Stimme sagt: "Spring!"
Und die Stimme sagt: "Spring!"
Und ich steh' hier und hab' den Blues
Und hoffentlich weißt du's
Und hoffentlich weißt du's
Und ich steh' hier und hab' den Blues
Und hoffentlich weißt du's,
hoffentlich weißt du's, hoffentlich weißt du's
Noch eine Rauchen
Ich steh' völlig neben mir
Wer wird nun bei dir sein, in dieser Nacht mit dir
Und dann im Rampenlicht
Die Strahler brennen wie Feuer
Egal was ich tue, ich denk dabei an dich
Und irgendwas tief in mir
Fragt immer wieder: "Ey, was machst du hier?"
Und diese Stimme sagt: "Spring!"
Und die Stimme sag: "Sing!"
Und ich steh' hier und hab' den Blues
Und hoffentlich weißt du's
Und hoffentlich weißt du's
Und ich steh' hier und hab' den Blues
Und hoffentlich weißt du's,
hoffentlich weißt du's, hoffentlich weißt du's
Und ich steh' hier und hab' den Blues
Und hoffentlich weißt du's
Und hoffentlich weißt du's
Und ich steh' hier und hab' den Blues
Und hoffentlich weißt du's,
hoffentlich weißt du's, hoffentlich weißt du's. . .
The song "Blues" by German singer Queen Bee is a melancholic ballad that speaks about finding oneself in a state of despair and longing for someone who is no longer present. The song begins with a casual conversation where the singer asks how the other person is doing. She then acknowledges that the other person has paid for her, but there is still a void within her. She then proceeds to say that she has fallen into a hole, but she is still alive and sends out an SOS message. This can be interpreted as a cry for help, not just financially but emotionally.
The chorus of the song contains the repetition of the line "und ich steh' hier und hab' den Blues" which means "and I'm standing here with the blues", implying that the singer is feeling down and blue. The second verse talks about the singer feeling numb and out of place. She wonders who will be with the other person that night and questions her own purpose. She mentions being under the spotlight, with lights shining like fire, but she cannot stop thinking about the other person.
The song also contains a repeated phrase "und diese Stimme sagt, spring" which means "and this voice says, jump". This can be interpreted as the singer's inner voice pushing her towards taking extreme measures to escape her feelings of despair. Overall, the song is a reflection of the singer's emotional state and how she is struggling to cope with the absence of someone in her life.

Found this song a few months ago and played it everyday for my wife Barbara Everone who was close to her called her Bee for short . It fit her perfectly and what I felt for her.She passed away suddenly 6 weeks ago and I still listen to it with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes.
Thanks Taj. It's a great song to remember her by.

I've seen Taj twice now. The 1stbtime was in Napa and I brought my guitar. My mom went and got the car after the show and I sat on the curb with my guitar. I didn't get to meet Taj, but one of his guys was nice enough to take it back to Taj for him to sign for me. I waited and it was a while me and my mom finally thought maybe the guy just set my guitar somewhere back there and forgot about it and I'd never see it again.....I was wrong! A while later he came back with my guitar signed by Taj and said 'sorry it took so long, he tuned it for you and then got to playing it...' I felt so honored! Now my guitar is named Queen Bee!
@sebastiansullivan4770

I ran into him as a kid (12 yo)in a coffee shop in occidental one time he was just sitting in the back quietly playing and I had a harp and was trying to play to what he was playing across the shop. He noticed and motioned me to come over and sit and play with him. One of my fondest memories from as a kid learning to plat the blues harp. He was so kind and patient.
@debrac1688
I want to hear you play!
