Music Theory QuickThink: 

-          VI chords share two pitches with I chords, and usually function in the tonic area

-          VI chords are sometimes called a tonic substitute

-          BONUS NOTE: If the 5th of a I chord changes to a 6th above the root for only a brief amount of time, this is often analyzed as I5------6  rather than   I  vi6

-          Just as vi is considered a tonic substitute, the ii chord is considered a IV substitute and usually serves in the PreDominant area
