your heart's in every tune Bengt Eric --thanks for another peaceful interlude!!

Your lyrics sound very authentic and it all together sounds gorgeous! Keep it up! :D

Extraordinary work on this sensational track!

Such a salient message and lovely song and tender heartfelt perormances!

When I got up this morning, this song was playing from my headphones. Thank you, it was a refreshing morning.

Dear friends, This is ”The Rain” version two where I experiment with different finger picking methods. I have 2 tracks with one method on a steel stringed Furch guitar, and 1 track with another method on a nylon stringed Alhambra guitar. I have also raised the pitch by half a pitch.

The Rain

There is something that we take - for granted each day we live
it’s the rain which sometimes fall on us - is it good for us?
or a pain for us? -  It sometimes feels so
when our clothes have gotten wet and we are freezing
and we are a long way from home

Our bodies contains of - a lot of water to a major part
and lack of water makes us seriously ill - so we need the rain
to a certain amount - but give us just what we need
Too much water around can be dangerous
we may drown in the river near our home

But something has happened to the rain - we don’t know which day it will come
it has changed a lot the last years - why is it so?
is it our own fault? - do we burn too much coal?
should we park our dear cars and never use them
and never eat soo much meat as we do

Approximate lyrics in Swedish
Regnet
Det är något vi tar - för givet varje dag vi lever
det är regnet som ibland faller på oss - är det bra för oss?
eller en smärta för oss? - Det känns ibland så
när våra kläder har blivit blöta och vi fryser
och vi är långt hemifrån

Våra kroppar innehåller mycket vatten
och brist på vatten gör oss allvarligt sjuka - så vi behöver regnet
till en viss mängd - men ge oss precis vad vi behöver
För mycket vatten runt oss kan vara farligt
vi kan drunkna i floden nära vårt hem

Men något har hänt med regnet - vi vet inte vilken dag det kommer
det har förändrats mycket de senaste åren - varför är det så?
är det vårt eget fel? - bränner vi för mycket kol?
ska vi parkera våra kära bilar och aldrig använda dem
och aldrig äta så mycket kött som vi gör

The Rain version two

Dear friends. I'm so disappointed in the world's rulers. No system can be found to be able to detect forest fires in time.

Sommarskog
När sommaren kommer till skogarnas land
och när solen lyser - och när allt blir varmt
det är så många som vaknar upp
men det finns också - dom som lider svårt
för det är nåt nytt som har kommit i år
för vattnet är slut - för alla dom som bor här.

Men va e de som händer långt borta i norr
det lyser och det sprakar - och det skrämmer alla här
och alla djuren dom slåss för sitt liv
men det finns också - dom som inte kan
komma undan i tid för att rädda sitt liv
och vattnet är slut - för alla dom som bor här.

Det är många av djuren som i skogarna bor
som blir illa brända - och får helvetiskt ont
och det finns inte nån Magnecyl
som är för djur - som i skogen bor
för det är vårt jobb att upptåcka en brand
innan det är för sent för alla dom som bor här

Summer forest
When summer comes to the land of forests
and when the sun is shining - and when everything gets hot
there are so many who wake up
but there are also - those who suffer severely
for it is something new that has come this year
for the water is gone - for all those who live here.

But what about those who happen far away in the north
it shines and it crackles - and it scares everyone here
and all the animals they fight for their lives
but there are also - those who can not
get away in time to save his life
and the water is gone - for all those who live here.

Many of the animals live in the forests
and get badly burned - and get hellish pain
and there is no aspirin
which is for animals - who live in the forest
for it is our job to detect a fire
before it's too late for all those who live here

Sommarskog

Hi - some thoughts:
I do not think that there are any monsters! - or...am I wrong???
I took this lunar image one quiet magical morning in Lubeck
Lyrics:
The Moon - a magic satellite

The light when the moon will  rise may sometimes be so scary,
it shines as of silver and casts shadows that are deep
it feels like You wander through a world of fairy tales
but don't be afraid - no monsters will show up
but don't be afraid - no monsters will show up


There are a lot of thoughts about - where this ”planet” comes from
it is not a planet - it is a satellite to the earth
It was probably created by a collision with a star
but don't be afraid - no monsters will show up
but don't be afraid - no monsters will show up


the moon is considered to be the ruler of emotions
it is the foundation of our spiritual mind 
It symbolizes the mysterious and the supernatural force
but don't be afraid - no monsters will show up
but don't be afraid - no monsters will show up

The Moon - a magic satellite

Dear friends, new reports reveal that large ships are cleaning their tanks and releasing large amounts of toxins into the Baltic Sea!
The Baltic Sea is an inland sea with narrow passages for fresh water. Eutrophication and other litter have caused this sea to nearly die! There are many countries that lie by this sea and many rivers release dirty water. Translation into English below.

Östersjön
Strax öster om vårt land det finns ett hav som
lider svårt för människans skull
Vi vill leva så flott utan att börsen den blir tom
och vi vill slänga allt vad vi inte vill ha
på enklaste sätt
det rinner ju ut
och havet tar emot
allt skräpet som sjunker så fint till havets djup

Vi har ett problem, det finns så många
som måste komma överens hur det ska va.
Det är inte så lätt då vissa har det så svårt 
att acceptera att vi måste ändra väg
för att slänga vårt skräp.
Vissa tror det går bra
och att allt det försvinner
bara vi inte ser det, då är allt borta för gott

Vi släpper ut allt från fosfor till giftig metall
som kan lagras i fiskarnas kropp
och då vill ingen äta upp vad detta havet kan ge
och de som lever av vad havet alltid gett
de får sitta still
och de får ingen lön
och fattiga de blir
det är så det blir när havet drar en blek och sista suck 


Approximate translation into English:
Baltic Sea
Just east of our country there is a sea that
suffers severely for the sake of man
We want to live so nicely without the purs running out
and we want to throw away everything we do not want
in the simplest way
it flows out
and the sea receives
all the rubbish that sinks so nicely to the depths of the sea

We have a problem, there are so many
who must agree on how it should be.
It is not so easy as some have it so hard
to accept that we must change course
to throw away our rubbish.
Some think it's going well
that all disappears
as long as we do not see it, then everything is gone for good

We release everything from phosphorus to toxic metal
which can be stored in the body of the fish
and then no one wants to eat what this sea can provide
and those who live by what the sea has always given
they are allowed to sit still
and they get no pay
and poor they become
that's how it is when the sea draws a pale and last sigh

Östersjön (the Baltic sea - Lyrics in English below)

HI dear friends,
this is my third song about the Baltic Sea. Lyrics in Swedish, but You may find a translation into English below.

Morgon vid Östersjön
Det är morgon vid vår strand och solen lyser
de små barnen vaknar upp för de måste komma ner
till den plats där de kan lyssna till vågornas mystik
och kolla allt som sker denna morgon invid havets rand

För länge, länge sen - vårt land var täckt av is
och då fanns det inget hav, men då isen smälte ner
man kunde skönja ett hav som sakta växte fram
och till en början det var mycket större än vad vi nu har

När åren de förflöt - skönheten växte fram
och alla kobbar och skär skapade bilden av vad vi har
i våra ögon och i vår själ som finner vila en liten stund
när vi vandrar omkring i denna världen som vilsna små barn 

Approximate translation into English

Morning by the Baltic Sea
It's morning at our beach and the sun is shining
the small children wake up because they have to come down
to the place where they can listen to the mystery of the waves
and check out everything that's going on this morning at the edge of the ocean

Long, long ago - our country was covered in ice
and then there was no sea, but then the ice melted down
one could discern a sea that was slowly emerging
and at first it was much bigger than what we now have

As the years passed - the beauty grew
and all the cobs and inserts created the image of what we have
in our eyes and in our soul that finds rest for a little while
as we wander around this world like lost little children

Morgon vid Östersjön (Morning by the Baltic Sea - Lyrics in English below)

Does mystical materialism exist? Is it a trend or a concept yet to be explored? Are new products being created under this label? We don't know anything about it here, but we've imagined that such a thing might eventually exist, though we don't know if it's for better or worse.

Won’t You Please Just Go
Verse 1
It used to be that right and wrong were clear cut, black and white
And people had the courage still to stand and fight the good fight
It used to be that folks could bridge across the partisan divide
Do the right thing and set their differences aside
Now the tech bros want to colonize Mars, and create a brand-new utopia
And if you’re skeptical of their vision, you’re just a luddite with myopia
They’re dreaming of a world of like minds, a place with no dissent
But too much group think has a way of becoming malevolent

Chorus
Won’t you go, won’t you go, won’t you please just go
Get on that rocket ship and fly to Mars (good riddance)
You say you’ll build a better society on the fourth rock from the sun
But there’s lots of work on Earth that still needs to be done.

Verse 2
Columbus sailed west and began a bold new age of exploration
But life on a barren rock seems like a recipe for frustration
It’s easy to be seduced by all that science fiction snake oil
but once you get to Mars, it’ll be nothing but drudgery and endless toil

Bridge
Seems like there are better ways for billionaires to spend their cash
Than living in a tin can on Mars like high-tech trailer trash.
They say the higher you fly, the harder you can fall;
Why trade a living planet for a dusty red ball?

Verse 3
Things can get kind of messy down here on good old planet Earth
You can turn tail and and try to escape this place of humanities birth
You can wipe the slate clean but there’s something in our DNA
You can make people march in lockstep but eventually there will be hell to pay.


Chorus
Won’t you go, won’t you go, won’t you please just go
Get on that rocket ship and fly to Mars (good riddance)
You say you’ll build a better society on the fourth rock from the sun
But there’s lots of work on Earth that still needs to be done

Won't You Please Just Go (to Mars)

Return of the Red Tiger

Lyrics :
La musique résonne, on danse, on s'allume.
Sorties de la boîte, cœur battant la chamade,
Dans la nuit qui pulse, lumières sur le bitume,
Dans ma caisse, tu es prête pour une balade.

Je démarre à peine que déjà tu me touches
Le vent dans nos cheveux, tu te mets à rire,
Ton haleine chaude, la douceur de ta bouche
Ma botte enfonce la pédale, sans faiblir.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

Les lumières pulsent sur le tempo des basses 
Ton parfum mélange fleurs, vodka et désir
Tes doigts agiles s’infiltrent et m’agacent  
Crispée sur le volant, je commence à gémir

Je me gare soulagée avant de perdre contrôle.
Je suis en sueur, mon cœur tambourine
On regarde la mer, ta tête sur mon épaule.
Nos parfums mêlés dans la saveur marine.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

Culotte tombée, l'ambiance est chaude,
Toi jambes écartées sur le capot brûlant.
Le plaisir qui vibre dans tes yeux émeraude
Accueille entre tes cuisses mon corps ondulant

Je t’invite à continuer sur la banquette en cuir.
Les vitres s’embuent de nos ébats haletants
Tes pieds contre le verre, tu t’arques de désir 
Le plaisir nous submerge de son souffle brûlant.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

(Bridge)
Les feux du bonheur nous incitent au voyage,
Tu me dit « encore un tour », je réponds « oui »,
Ton corps défile comme un nouveau paysage,
Dans la nuit torride, nos orgasmes sans répit.

(Chorus)
Dans ma vieille B M, à minuit,
On roule vite, la nuit nous sourit.
On s’aime, sous le ciel étoilé,
Toi et moi, ensemble à jamais.

Et quand le jour fatigué se lève enfin,  
nos silences moites s’enlacent encore,  
la voiture garde nos ombres, nos parfums,  
l’amour s’ancre dans la fusion de nos corps.

Dans ma caisse

The Harvest Moon
Excerpt from a poem by Ted Hughes

"The flame-red moon, the harvest moon,
Rolls along the hills, gently bouncing,
A vast balloon,
Till it takes off, and sinks upward
To lie on the bottom of the sky, like a gold doubloon."

Harvest Moon is a symbol of abundance, gratitude, and the balance between light and dark of the autumn equinox. The 2025 Harvest Moon, this year’s first Supermoon of the Northern Hemisphere, reaches full illumination on Monday, October 6, 11:47 PM ET. 🌕

ARTIST NOTE: I attempt (and fail) on a regular basis to satisfy an artistic curiosity — What if classical composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach wrote jazz music using a DAW with electronic drum kits? 🤔😯 Even when I fail, usually something comes out of the effort 😀

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LE PURPLE HAZE
DANS LA VALLÉE DES SYCOMORES
UN PARADIS ARTIFICIEL
A L’AUTRE BOUT DE L’ARC EN CIEL
ET TANT ET TANT DE TEMPS DEVANT
QU’ON EN VOIT PAS VRAIMENT LA FIN

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LES CHAMPS DE FRAISES
DANS LES BRUMES DU NEVERMORE

UN PARADIS CONSENSUEL
PEUPLÉ DE FORMES SENSUELLES
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE AVOIR DE L’AUTRE CÔTÉ DU MIROIR

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
JUSTE FILER À L’ANGLAISE
ET RESSUSCITER LE MATAMORE

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
YELLOW SUNSHINE PURPLE HAZE
ET NO FUTUR DANS L’ANGLE MORT

Lonely Creatures

Dear friends,
The climate changes are currently topical.
We learned in school that the trees and the plants absorb carbon dioxide in exchange for oxygen. That is the only chance for us to get oxygen!!
It is also the only way to get rid of excess carbon dioxide. 
Forest fires are terrible - and we, human beings, must plant new trees after the fires. We will be getting more people and animals every year, and the demands of oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal are steadily increasing.
So - plant trees and flowers on every empty spot on earth, and make the cities green.

Lyrics:
Please take Care

They will stand here year after year
They will show us the beauty that nature provides
They will give a home for all the birds in the sky
we must also remember that they give us all the fresh air
that we can enjoy every day

They are living a dangerous life
since their bodies are attractive to many greedy men
They may be burned or even used for construction
of exclusive tables for the rich folks
who are living
very far from the birth place of these trees

The trees are essential for the life that we live
They will cover all the mistakes that we may make
so give them a chance to survive modern times
and plant trees everywhere so all the 
coming generations
can enjoy the breathing of fresh air

Please take Care

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".
