Dear friends, this song may seem a little bit weird.
I wrote it after a difficult struggle against several different passwords.
I am so fond of making self ironic songs - just for fun!
Among the worst is when you are logged out! So hard to be able to log in again, which can take forever! We older people also spend a lot of time looking for various things!

Not so easy for us Old

The times have changed for all of us somewhat older 
people who struggle along with all modern facilities around us
This morning I tried to open
the oven for to bake some bread for my wife and for me
but the child safety lock was too tough for me
It isn’t so easy for all of us old these days

When I was a child I used to call all my friends with an 
ordinary telephone but the modern equipment is too tiny for me
I’m just messing around with tiny knobs at the front
and lots and lots of strange messages are sent to me each day
and I don’t know what to do with them 
It isn’t so easy for all of us old these days


You should have seen me when I am going to 
back out my brand new car and if I am too close to my neighbors car
then all hell will break loose for me
it flashes and it squeals in every corner of my newly bought car 
now I think I will pick up my old car again
It isn’t so easy for all of us old these days

Approximate translation into Swedish:

Inte så lätt för oss gamla

Tiderna har förändrats för oss alla lite äldre
människor som kämpar tillsammans med alla moderna faciliteter runt omkring oss
I morse försökte jag öppna
ugnen för att baka lite bröd till min fru och till mig
men barnsäkerhetslåset var för hårt för mig
Det är inte så lätt för alla oss gamla nuförtiden

När jag var barn brukade jag ringa alla mina vänner med en
vanlig telefon men den moderna utrustningen är för liten för mig
Jag bara bråkar med små knoppar framtill
och massor av konstiga meddelanden skickas till mig varje dag
och jag vet inte vad jag ska göra med dem
Det är inte så lätt för alla oss gamla nuförtiden


Du borde ha sett mig när jag ska
backa ut min helt nya bil och om jag är för nära min grannes bil
då brakar helvetet löst för mig
det blinkar och det tjuter i varje hörn av min nyköpta bil
nu tror jag att jag ska hämta min gamla bil igen
Det är inte så lätt för alla oss gamla nuförtiden

SOMEDAY THE WEIGHT OF THIS YEAR ON MY LIFE WILL BE AN ALBUM FULL OF PAIN,... BUT, RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M CENTRALLY LOCATED IN HELL

1987 WENT TO Nashville for a “short week” Music row to make the big time … wow … nobody listens in lawsuit land in those days. 1988 WENT TO NASHVILLE for 3 days (surely, I would crack this puzzle and become famous …) so many on benches in front of churches. Frustrated, didn’t sing publicly again basically for 25 years. (after all, where would a singer/song writer, make a name for himself in Karaoke land).
2010 discovered open mics (new world begins). WRITING SINCE …a lot! Had someone to produce me in limited acoustic style for a couple years…I think a few were damn good “Fields of Quiet Soil”. Had a lot of offers to write lyrics and/or sing for a lot of other artists here. (but no recording capability …let alone a decent computer for my own. TODAY, THINGS CHANGE …I’m here to make an impact (got 4 new ones under my belt recently) …plus some old ones you will not be disappointed listening to. Welcome old music fans and artists., potential serious collabs.
I’m locked and loaded this time!

I love creative music.  Music helps us to have good times, so necessary in the day to day. I hope my music fulfills that end.

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".

Dan and I have been writing songs since 1977. All songs are written the guitar based way with an acoustic guitar, pen and paper, even if the secondary construction is made with digital tools and programmes.  
Now it is the first time that we will get a bit more official. We do not have any particular genre, because we believe that the feel of the melody will lead you to the genre. So after a while you will hear Pop, Rock, Country, Crossover, Symphonic Rock, Ethnic, Ballads and more.
All instruments are digital (mostly VST-instruments). I do not know if that is good or bad, but it is the only way for us to make this happen.
My favourite bands/artists are QUEEN (early albums),Roxy Music, Styx, Barclay James Harvest, Supertramp, David Bowie, Babe Ruth, Pavlov´s Dog. Procol Harum,  Echo and the Bunnymen and Crowded House. Amongst individual artists I love Clifford T. Ward, Rupert Holmes, Al Stewart and Chris De Burgh.
Dan is inpired of Eagles and Pink Floyd and many of the hardrock bands from the seventies.
Music production: Cubase 12 Pro (Steinberg), Waveform 9 (Tracktion), Band-in-a-Box 2023 (PG Music), T-Racks 5 Mastering Suite (IK Multimedia)
Some VST-plugins: Sampletank 3 and Miroslav Philharmonik 2 (IK Multimedia), Real Guitars (Music Labs), Amplitube 3 (IK Multimedia)
