Another essential battle, as important for women as it is for us! The power of the message is reinforced by the sweetness of the singing and the quality of the music (well done on the harmonica!!)!!!

Great song Bengt. complete agree with the sentiment. Your protest songs are now legendary. johnny

Pleasant & well written track.  A rare but meaningful subject we normally find in songs.  Brilliant performance.

Your protest songs so often ask a question and this one resonates with me having raised three daughters. In some parts of Europe men of different ethnic groups are allowed to prey on girls, and even in the US, boys masquerading as girls are allowed to play in their sports sometimes brutalizing them, and political leaders allow it. I will never understand it my friend. But your playing asks the question gently and beautifully.

Dear musical friend Bengt Erik, this is folk music straight from the heart with such an important message! 🙏 Your voice carries so much weight and compassion as you give a voice to those who have lost theirs. We are deeply moved by your courage to tell these stories that need to be heard. This is why we love your music so much. Beautiful and powerful songwriting, my friend! ✨❤️🎵

*** Liquid Roads ***

Watch the ships that slit the oceans
leaving behind white foam.
Those liquid roads will soon be gone
as the foam turns back to sea.

And so is life.
For a while I'll make a difference
a sillage that shows the way
for my sons to follow me.

May I help them in the storms,
break the waves of violent seas.
They will learn and take my place
when I'm no more than debris. 

(based on Classical Glass instrumental piece)

***********************************************************************************
This song is a famous Christian hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931

***********************************************************************************
It had been over 35 years since I last played the guitar...

I started again at the end of July 2025.

On August 10, 2025, I recorded this cover with my cell phone,
WITHOUT EFFECTS, raw sound, with vocals and guitar.

When converting the file to Wav format, I simply heightened the volume.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I would like to thank two followers:

- Four months ago, the first one really encouraged me 
to pick up the guitar again.

- The second is someone I hold in high esteem, 
who gave me confidence and, above all,
strongly advised me to post this track as it is,
despite its imperfections (the chords weren't quite right,
the singing wasn't great...)

A big thank you!

Make Peace with Love

Good memories heal
All memories teach
Food for our souls
Greater good we can reach
Measured discern
Spread butter for spirit
Make peace with love
Listen
You'll hear it

'Aint no point in crying over spilled milk
Save your worries and woes
For survivalist silk
Concern is control flying with wings of dove
Our chance is to change
And make peace with love

Make peace with love

Just call on your soul
Talk to your spirit
Human quality control
Listen
You'll hear it
Clean up together
Spread the load
Make peace with love
Historic future is told

Make peace with love

The gauge is your family
Great spirits at rest
Potential in code
DNA left of best
Biological verve
Inside fits like a glove
All known moral ground
Make peace with love

Make peace with love

Listen to caring
Listen to honest
Hear those who qualify
Good truths upon us
Hone wonderful answers
And feed that new known
Make peace with love
Light of Lennon is known

Make peace with love
Make peace we own
Light of Lennon is known
Make peace with love
Peace we own

All life is precious
Systematic and synced
Let's protect it and grow
Good future of think
Locked to our moment
No below
No above
No pedastal proud
Make peace with love

Make peace with love
Make peace with love
Make peace we know
Light of Lennon we own
Peace we own
Make peace with love
Inside fits like a glove
Make peace your own
Make peace we own
Make peace we own
Peace we own
Make peace with love



Make Peace with Love

Hey all guys, hope you agree with me - that all girls should be treated fairly!
I don't think I need to specify which places are referred to in this song!
A picture of my daughters little puppy dog - Solveig!

 How are They Doing

There was a great time when they felt that life was wonderful
they could walk on the streets without
any person who was spying on them
but now it’s not such a good time
They can’t do what they want
and they can’t wear the clothes they love

How come it has been such a big change concerning rules for girls
maybe it is depending on
the guys who are ruling their land
it is not easy to understand
The girls can’t do what they want
and they can’t study what they need

The world must protest against these men who are ruling there
maybe they have never listened to their mum
when she told them how everything should be
they have ignored all what she said
The girls can’t do what they want
and they can’t study medicine


Lyrics in Swedish

Hur mår de?

Det var en fantastisk tid när de tyckte att livet var underbart.
De kunde gå på gatorna utan
någon som spionerade på dem.
Men nu är det inte så bra.
De kan inte göra vad de vill.
Och de kan inte bära de kläder de älskar.

Hur kommer det sig att det har varit en så stor förändring gällande regler för flickor?
Kanske beror det på
killarna som styr deras land.
Det är inte lätt att förstå.
Flickorna kan inte göra vad de vill.
Och de kan inte studera vad de behöver.

Världen måste protestera mot dessa män som styr där.
Kanske har de aldrig lyssnat på sin mamma.
När hon berättade för dem hur allting borde vara.
De har ignorerat allt hon sa.
Flickorna kan inte göra vad de vill.
Och de kan inte studera medicin.

Babe, fuck a fast car, we ain't goin' nowhere.
The end of us ain't far, and I refuse to care.
We pretend we're par, lost within the glare
of what we feel while high, as if nothing else compares to you. 

Mate it’s great you stay in touch 
Cos just like me I think you smoke a little bit too much
And it’s lovely to believe, there’s another one of me
Living over there but that one’s got more hair

notimistic dopplegangbang (with Harmful if Followed)

Life is often described as a dance…A beautiful waltz, meant to be joyful and lived in the moment. Too often, we step away from the dance, caught in the past or so anxious about the future that we forget the fundamental rhythm. Perhaps the secret to truly living is to step back into the moment, feel the music, and embrace the beautiful and sometimes challenging waltz of life.

The Wrap

FIRST OF ALL, I WILL SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO MY SONGS - LOVE YOU ALL!!

Dear friends, I worry more and more about the state of the earth! More and more wars flare up, the climate is worrying with natural disasters as a result! Strong malevolent rulers emerge and succeed in egging the population of the respective countries. History has shown how it goes - I think of such men as Hitler and others! The war causes huge emissions of greenhouse gases! Instead, use the soldiers to plant trees and fight the terrible forest fires!

The Baltic Sea is living dangerously right now! Scores of ships in deplorable condition transport oil across the sea. The risks are great for extensive oil disasters! I have made some songs for the Baltic sea just to make people understand the problems.

I have recently published some of my songs on YouTube - search for Bengt Roth.

I write almost all of my songs, and I sing my songs and play the guitar and the harp - no more. My recording equipment is quite modest with a Furch guitar, Alhambra guitar, Röde microphone, Focusrite and Garageband. My studio is our guest room in our house.
I was young during the 1960s when Dylan became famous. I was a member of a folk song group during that time. I love Dylan´s music!! I was also a big fan of The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas and the Papas and several more singers. I like folk music and the old protest songs. I love the music of Eva Cassidy. I was also a big fan of Björn Afzelius, and I love the music of Tom Petty. I am very inspired of the music of John Denver.
Bengt and certainly several 100 million people are intensively protesting against all evil around the world!
I love to sometimes write songs that are a bit weird and self-ironic!
You know that I am a novice in the "recording business", and sometimes I have to revise the songs.
My whole grown up life was occupied by my profession as a doctor in intensive care and anesthesiology. I was head of the department of Intensive and perioperative Care in Lund, Sweden the last years. After that I have got the possibility to be dedicated to music. 
My songs are a matter of extreme happiness and extreme sadness. I write all the music and lyrics except "As tears go by", "House of the Rising Sun", and songs by Evert Taube.
I love to leave some message with my songs!
I have no previous experience of writing fiction. I have, however, some experience in writing non-fiction. I wrote my thesis, and some chapters in a textbook in anesthesiology. I was also member of a group who introduced an education program in pediatric cardio pulmonary resuscitation for laymen in Sweden.
I have created a repost page "Bengt Erik Roth Repost Page".
