always thoughtfully written songs and I really like the acoustic accompaniment,,,reminds me of the great folk songs of old....60s....very enjoyeble track Bengt

is this your best song ever Bengt Erik? could be, but the message is your point and it's a hard one

A lovely, delicate and thoughtful song Bengt!

Glad to hear this song Erik,  as we challenge world leaders to take action for climate change mitigation.

reminded again of those great old folk songs we used to hear...another fab track Bengt

Hi and thanks a lot. You know that we are a bit scared for the future! We have a neighbor that we can not trust at all. I wish You all well.

Dear friends, the drought is very severe in northeastern Africa. The desert is spreading. If our planet becomes desert, it will resemble the moon! Tree planting can counteract desertification.

It is NOT raining in the South

The rain has ceased in Africa
at least in the north east parts
and the soil is dry
and everywhere it's bursting
and no plants will ever grow  in conditions like this
and the animals will die of starvation and thirst
and later people as well

The rain is unreliable in the present days
it falls whereever it wants
without any control
a lot may fall on places
where it may cause a lot of serious disasters
we have seen floodings and landslides in many places on earth
where many people have died

We must counteract the distribution of deserts
since they may kill us all
due to lack of air
with enough amounts of oxygen
we can start planting trees on the edges of the deserts
as there are drought-resistant trees that retain moisture in the soil
and thus we will survive
 
Approximate translation to Swedish
Det regnar INTE i Afrika

Regnet har upphört i Afrika
åtminstone i de nordöstra delarna
och jorden är torr
och överallt spricker det
och inga växter kommer någonsin att växa under sådana här förhållanden
och djuren kommer att dö av svält och törst
och senare också människor

Regnet är opålitligt i våra dagar
det faller var det vill
utan någon kontroll
mycket kan falla på platser
där det kan orsaka många allvarliga katastrofer
vi har sett översvämningar och jordskred på många platser på jorden
där många människor har dött

Vi måste motverka spridningen av öknar
eftersom de kan döda oss alla
på grund av brist på luft
med tillräckligt med syre
vi kan börja plantera träd på kanterna av öknarna
då det finns torktåliga träd som håller kvar fukten i jorden
och därmed kommer vi att överleva

It is NOT raining in the South

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".
