A beautiful song with a really great message.

Always beautiful songs, nice work Bengt 👌

You’re vocals always sound so endearing and are wonderful to listen too

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.

Tony King
1972-2025
For many years Tony ran the Chambers open mic night in Folkestone Kent. He was a top bloke, kind and supportive to each and every performer. As an example, the audio at the end of this track is taken from a video of me having just finished playing one of my songs. You can hear, at the time I couldnt as I was at the other side of the room, how encouraging Tony was, always complimentary. Tony loved life, was a happy chappie and kept himself extremely fit. He swam the channel, the sea from England to France some 21 miles on more than one occasion. Guess this proves we never know what life has in store for us even if we look after our health. Tony will be deeply missed not only by his loving family but those of us that got to know him through his wonderful open mic nights.  

Lyrics.
say goodbye to a kind hearted man
i didnt know him well but it was easy to tell.
a warm smile and grin youd be welcomed on in
to his music show a gentle hand to guide you on through

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

say farewell to a father a father and a friend
he swam 21 miles thought what the hell ill do it again.
these things are damn hard to understand
but you have to try to recall the joyus of times.

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

theres no rythme or reason

Verse 1 

Today I want to tell you, my love How happier I couldn't be with you Every word that comes from you Is a caress I bless

 Pre-chorus

 I'm not rich and I have nothing But with your magic you transform me into a bright star

 Chorus

 Every moment with you is pure magic You electrify me with your love and tenderness It is with you that my sanity is balanced You are my love, a crazy love

 Verse 2 

Your existence is a divine blessing I can feel your sweet essence in every corner You are such an exemplary and beautiful woman 

Bridge 

It would take an eternity To give you all the roses in the world.

 Chorus 

Every moment with you is pure magic You electrify me with your love and tenderness It is with you that my sanity is balanced You are my love. A crazy love. 

Outro I could no longer imagine my life without you. It would be eternal and complete bitterness.



Verso 1

Hoy quiero decirte amor mío
Que más feliz no puedo estar contigo
Cada palabra que sale de ti
Es una caricia que bendigo

Pre chorus 

No soy rico y nada tengo
Pero con tu magia
me transformas en lucero

Cada momento junto a ti es magia pura 
Me electrificas con tu amor y tu ternura 
Es junto a ti que se equilibra mi cordura 
Eres tú mi bien, un amor de locura

 Verso 2

Tu existencia es una bendición divina
Puedo sentir tu esencia dulce en cada esquina 
Eres mujer tan ejemplar y tan hermosa 

Puente 

Que tomaría una eternidad 
Darte del mundo todas las rosas. 

Coro 

Cada momento junto a ti es magia pura 
Me electrificas con tu amor y tu ternura
Es junto a ti que se equilibra mi cordura 
Eres tú mi bien. 

Un amor de locura. 

Outro 

Ya no podría imaginar a mi vida sin ti
Sería eterna y completa amargura

[Verse 1]
Les signes de tendresse le long de ma vie
Représenté par des signes d'affection
Les caresses
Les étreintes
Les baisers
L'enlacement des mains

[Pre-Chorus]
Ils se sont estompés dans ma mémoire
Peu à peu avec le temps
Quand j'essaie de m'en souvenir
Ils se sont effacés avec le temps
C'est difficile à dire
C'est difficile à voir
Avec le temps
Les souvenirs s'estompent

[Chorus]
C'est tout
C'est tout
C'est tout
C'est tout


« La musique est le véritable souffle de la vie. 
On mange pour ne pas mouvoir de faim.
On chante pour s'entendre vivre. »

Tendresse – Jours lointains

Titre : Jours lointains
Poète : René-François Sully Prudhomme (1839-1907)
Recueil : Stances et poèmes (1865).
Nous recevions sa visite assidue ;
J'étais enfant. Jours lointains ! Depuis lors
La porte est close et la maison vendue :
Les foyers vendus sont des morts.

Quand j'entendais son pas de demoiselle,
Adieu mes jeux ! Courant sur son chemin,
J'allais, les yeux levés tout grands vers elle,
Glisser ma tête sous sa main.

Et quelle joie inquiète et profonde
Si je sentais une caresse au front !
Cette main-là, pas de lèvres au monde
En douceur ne l'égaleront.

Je me souviens de mes tendresses vagues,
Des aveux fous que je jurais d'oser,
Lorsque, tout bas, rien qu'aux chatons des bagues
Je risquais un fuyant baiser.

Elle a passé, bouclant ma chevelure,
Prenant ma vie ; et, comme inoccupés,
Ses doigts m'ont fait une étrange brûlure,
Par l'âge de mon cœur trompés.

Comme l'aurore étonne la prunelle,
L'éveille à peine, et c'est déjà le jour :
Ainsi la grâce au cœur naissant nouvelle
L'émeut, et c'est déjà l'amour.

René-François Sully Prudhomme.

Les signes de tendresse

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.

The Snow Queen - The Fox

City Blues

Cast of Characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Middle Eastern instruments (Duf Drum, Daire drum, Darbuka, Riq, Qanun, Zurna horn, Ney flute, strings), female vocal sample, 'ululation' (high pitch yodel), mix, composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Custom fretless 5-string bass
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – saz, shakuhachi, and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — cymbals and Chinese percussion
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — traditional gourd-body sitar and mastering.

Josh had the idea of doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and tie it to the idea it may cease to exist as a living musical tradition sooner than later. Everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen.
Mark, who is an expert percussionist, composed a typical traditional Middle Eastern style drum pattern, together with an Arabic scale melody, played on the Qanun (a kind of zither). To that he added the instrumental 'Zurna' solo in the middle, various other traditional instruments, and even sang the high pitch yodel sound at the end. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.
JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece.
Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.
Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you experience a taste of the magic and the beauty of that region, despite suffering victims of war are experiencing there. But most of all, we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping
Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long
We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song
The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )
We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )
Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )
Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )
What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )
Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )
Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )
All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )



Oh My Darlin' Palestine (Eclectic Collective)

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.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=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".
