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, it would be a very good idea to inform all governments that satellite monitoring of forest fires is important for early detection of fires!! It is much easier to fight the fires if they are detected early. The forest fires are probably extremely harmful to the earth's climate!
Huge forest fires are raging on Hawaii and in the south of Europe right now - terrible!
the whole world is all too often affected by widespread forest fires with large emissions of greenhouse gases as a result. In addition, a large part of the oxygen formation and carbon dioxide elimination is lost. People and animals also lose their lives and properties!
It has now been reported that satellites can be used for the early detection of forest fires - the so-called Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). Now hope that the knowledge spreads to the whole world!
AND, hear and be amazed, there are idiots starting wars in the midst of this dire climate crisis! War machines, explosions and fires sure release lots of greenhouse gases! Stop all wars now - immediately!!!

Those Fires may threaten Life on Earth

The flames behind the mountains are horrible to see
        Am                         C                     G              C
They may be reminder of the hell
         Dm           C                    G         C  G
They rise above the horizon - like the Devil’s fingers

The flames are colored red
        C                            G            C   G
and up to the sky the dramatic smoke rise
       C              G             3/4C    1/4Am  G     G
and over the world a lot of fires have emerged
       C            G                   Am  1/2Am1/2D G

There are many, many people who had to leave their home
                Am                C                 G                          C
and also some folks who lost their lives
       Dm             C                           G        C   G
when their houses caught fire - and the flames devoured them
                  C                      G     G                           C          G
and the air was hard to breathe
              C                        G                C   G
The animals in the woods had to flee for their lives
        C                      G                  3/4C    1/4Am G       G
The fires in the woods is a big threaten to life on Earth
        C                G                     Am           1/2Am1/2D G

There may be some hopes for the people on this globe
          Am                  C                    G                      C
there are scientists who have found a way
                Dm                           C          G       C   G
for detection of fires - in the most remoted woods
          C              G      G                      C         G
it is called J  P  S  S
       C                    G         C    G
and we hope that some day we never can see
             C                        G          3/4C 1/4Am G    G
these horrible scenes and all the trees can grow free
           C           G                          Am  1/2Am1/2D G

Dear friends - the world is totally upside down right now.
We are affected by more and more natural disasters and wars.
But - maybe the sun will shine on us all one day!
We can hope that all criminals and tyrants will be nice one day.
Parents have the ultimate responsibility for their children's actions.
I think for sure Mr. Putin's mother would have wanted him to be decent and popular!!
The picture is from Pildammarna in Malmö, Sweden the 10th of february 2023.

When the sun shines

When darkness falls over us - we can not see
 the problems and how to solve them - they are worrying us
and our sleep - is continuously poor
we go up in the middle of the night hours
for to find - how to do

There are lots and lots of things - that we can’t affect
for example the earthquakes or the war in Ukraine
even if we want - there are not anybody      
who will listen to common people who are walking down here 
on this globe - it feels so bad 

But tomorrow maybe the sun will shine - on all of us
 all the bad guys now will try to change their way
and obey their mums - since the mothers always want
that their children are decent and popular
at any time - wherever they are

Approximate translation into Swedish:

Kära vänner - världen är helt upp och ner just nu.
Vi drabbas av fler och fler naturkatastrofer och krig.
Men – kanske kommer solen att skina på oss alla en dag!
Vi får hoppas att alla kriminella och tyranner blir trevliga en dag.
Föräldrar har det yttersta ansvaret för sina barns handlingar.
Jag tror säkert att herr Putins mamma skulle ha velat att han skulle vara anständig och populär!!

När solen skiner

När mörkret faller över oss - vi kan inte se
  problemen och hur man löser dem – de oroar oss
och vår sömn - är kontinuerligt dålig
vi går upp mitt i natttimmarna
för att hitta - hur man gör

Det finns massor av saker - som vi inte kan påverka
till exempel jordbävningarna eller kriget i Ukraina
även om vi vill - det finns inte någon
som kommer att lyssna på vanliga människor som går här nere
på den här jordklotet - det känns så illa

Men imorgon kanske solen skiner – på oss alla
  alla de onda nu kommer att försöka ändra sig
och lyda sina mammor - eftersom mammorna alltid vill
att deras barn är anständiga och populära
när som helst - var de än är

When the sun shines

Dear friends - a little song about our nature.
This is a picture from "Stens huvud" in the south east of Sweden.
Approximate translation into English:

The Stream

I walk along the stream
that glitters in the morning light
i can see all the trees reflected here
they seem oblivious to what we humans do

I sit down there
the most beautiful flowers exist
I have to be very careful so they are always there
when all our children go out to see how everything is

What is it
that splashes at the edge of the stream
it looks like a beaver building a nest
he tears and drags on a branch which he places as a roof
 
Over there under the trees
small birds can take a dip
and they chirp and they play for a while with each other
and they haven't seen me yet because I'm as quiet as a mouse



Bäcken

Jag vandrar längs bäcken
som glimrar i morgonens ljus
jag kan se alla träden som speglar sig här
de verkar vara omedvetna om vad vi människor gör 

Jag sätter mig ner där
de vackraste blommorna finns
jag ska vara väldigt varsam så de alltid finns kvar
när alla våra barn går ut för att se hur allting är 

Vad är det för något
som plaskar vid bäckens kant
det ser ut som en bäver som bygger sig ett bo
han sliter och släpar på en gren som han lägger som ett tak
 
Där borta under träden
små fåglar kan ta sig ett dopp
och de kvittrar och de leker en stund med varann
och de har inte sett mig ännu för jag är tyst som en mus

Bäcken (The Stream)

Dear friends,
first I want to thank Ukraine for an absolutely wonderful Eurovision schlager festival in Liverpol. I also thank Great Britain and Liverpool for a great arrangement. Wonderful presenters!
All this took place in the midst of the horrific war against Ukraine.
Many volunteers have traveled to Ukraine from various places to help the victims of the war. They should be honored!

The Journey to Ukraine

They went for a journey to the Ukranian town

They are people from different places who are gathered for to help

to take all wounded away
Am              G              D
   from the horrible battle fields
D                 C           G          D
   where the bombs and the shells rain all over the fields
D                   Em                   C                   G             D

which they never will forget
                   D                  G

The people in the world were taken by surprise
         G                   D               C                   G
when this war started
Am                   G     D
   how can anyone defend this act
D               C              G             D
   we folks believed that all humans were much wiser than that 
D                    Em                  C                            G               D
   We have wittnessed the horror from this bloody war

The Journey to Ukraine

Dear friends - a little song about our little ones (in Swedish).
The melody has been approved by my lovely little granddaughter Greta!
Today, June 6, 2023, is a big day for Sweden. We are celebrating the 500th anniversary of our country in its current form. It feels good!
Approximate translation into English below:

What amuses Children

What amuses children
it is not easy to understand
but the reality is
that it is good when the children smile

To swing really high against the sky
so that the world changes
it can be upside down
and then the children laugh out loud

When the children feel bad
and when life feels so sad
then it sometimes helps
when grandpa reads them a fairy tale

In this modern age
there have been things that are fun
and which opens up our world
with pictures from a distant land

I know kids like animals
both small ones and those you can ride on
and when the children hug them
then both animals and children enjoy it

In Swedish:
Vad roar Barn

Vad är det som roar barn
det är inte lätt att förstå
men verkligheten är
att det är bra när barnen ler

Att gunga riktigt högt emot skyn
så att världen ändrar sig
den kan bli upp och ner
och då skrattar barnen högt

När barnen känner sig dåliga
och när livet känns så trist
då hjälper det ibland
när morfar läser en saga för dom

I denna moderna tid
det har kommit grejer som är kul
och som öppnar våran värld
med bilder från ett fjärran land

Jag vet att barn gillar djur
både små och dom man kan åka på
och när barnen kramar dom
då njuter både djur och barn

Vad roar Barn (What amuses Kids)(Lyrics in English below)

Dear friends, it is summer and holidays here.
You know that my son and his family's adventures inspired me to make this little song!

Marvellous Holidays

The period after summer mid implies a lot of expectations
we are free like birds - but what shall we do
it is important that we are friends  - the whole time
we are so tight - when we are going to have fun
this is however a wonderful time

There are so many, many things that may go wrong in the beginning
the cat has disappeared - and noone has a clue 
where he might be - we are so worried - where is the cat
and the dog began to howl - he doesn’t like his cage at all
this is however a wonderful time

We start the old car and drive - to exciting destinations
it is crowded in the car - and what is happening there 
the kids are fighting - and we don’t know, what’s it’s all about
and we have to stop - very frequently for to pee
this is however a wonderful time

Marvellous Holidays

To our wonderful Granddog Luna!
Dear friends, this song may perhaps be a bit weird. But it is not so easy to take care of a dog if You haven't any experience!

Translation into English below:

Inexperienced Dog Sitter
I'm sitting here thinking that now is the time
soon they will come with - this fantastic animal
and when I open my door
a happy doggy - intrudes
with the tongue on sway -
and she is drooling on our freshly washed floor
—— Now you must be quiet because now I'm going - Now I'm going
out with the dog for a walk

I have so many questions - how to behave
for the dog to feel - excellent when she is here
how often will she go out
once is enough - or many more
What do they do on a walk -
they have a lot to do and they have to smell everything
—— Now you must be quiet because now I'm going - Now I'm going
out with the dog for a walk

But listen - what kind of food does the dog get?
should they eat this - it's smelly pills
Nah - sausages are offered here
and maybe chicken fillet when it's evening
and in between gossip
and we see that the little dog likes us
—— Now you must be quiet because now I'm going - Now I'm going
out with the dog for a walk

Ovan Hundvakt

Jag sitter här och tänker, att nu är det dags
snart kommer dom med  - detta fantastiska djur
och när jag öppnar min dörr
en lycklig vovve - tränger sig in
med tungan på svaj - 
och hon saglar på vårt nyligen tvättade golv
—— Nu måste Ni vara tysta för nuu ska jag - Nuu ska jag
ut med hunden på promenad

Jag har så många frågor - hur bär man sig åt
för att hunden ska må - förträffligt när hon är här
hur ofta ska hon gå ut
räcker det med en gång - eller många fler
Vad gör dom på promenad - 
dom har massor att göra och dom ska lukta på allt
—— Nu måste Ni vara tysta för nuu ska jag - Nuu ska jag
ut med hunden på promenad

Men hör Ni - vad är det för mat som hunden får
ska dom äta det här - det är ju stinkande piller 
Nä - här bjuds det på korv
och kanske kycklingfilé när det blir kväll
och däremellan snask
och vi ser att lilla hunden tycker om oss
—— Nu måste Ni vara tysta för nuu ska jag - Nuu ska jag
ut med hunden på promenad

Ovan Hundvakt (Inexperienced dog sitter. Lyrics in English below)

Dear friends, today we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and my dear wife picked these flowers this summer!
See the video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/mDQ-E12Jg3E?si=hBAUsltcCYtQCzEl

A Walk in Nature


We walked to the mountains - just to see how there is
we saw the animals and the flowers which grow on the way up
to the top covered with snow - the air is so clear and the snow is so white 
it is easy to see why the people want to stay
It is so wonderful to walk down this trail

We walk along the rivers - we admire all the trees       
which border still-flowing magic of water in the stream
and perhaps there are lovely birds - who live their quiet lives independently of
us people with eyes  filled with great wonderment
It is so wonderful to walk down this trail

Today we picked some flowers - on the fields near our home
it was refreshing for my wife and I saw on her face
that she’s happy this lovely day - and most of the sorrows have left our souls
and this evening we can go to bed with a smile
It is so wonderful to walk down this trail

In Swedish:
En promenad i naturen
Vi promenerade till bergen - bara för att se hur det ligger till
vi såg djuren och blommorna som växer på vägen upp
till toppen täckt av snö - luften är så klar och snön är så vit
det är lätt att se varför folket vill stanna
Det är så underbart att gå längs den här leden

Vi går längs floderna - vi beundrar alla träden
som gränsar till stilla rinnande magi av vatten i bäcken
och kanske finns det härliga fåglar - som lever sina lugna liv oberoende av
oss människor med ögon fyllda av stor förundran
Det är så underbart att gå längs den här leden

Idag har vi plockat lite blommor - på fälten nära vårt hem
det var uppfriskande för min fru och jag såg på hennes ansikte
att hon är glad denna underbara dag - och de flesta av sorgerna har lämnat våra själar
och i kväll kan vi gå och lägga oss med ett leende
Det är så underbart att gå längs den här leden

A Walk in Nature (it's our 50th wedding anniversary)

Communication
Dear friends, this song is a tribute to Soundcloud and to muscicians around the world. Communication is important. It gives us the great opportunity to reach friends over the whole world via the Internet.
I love Soundcloud where I have found music friends over the whole world, and I have never seen any bad words here. I am certain that musicians are a kind people!!

There’s a letter in my mail box - it’s from a friend far away
I have never seen this guy
The mail has  sailed over seas
to my country here where the winter comes
the mail is so welcome and I read it so seriously

It is easy to send a mail to all - in every corner of the world
sometimes people tell lies
it’s not so obvious 
if the message which is sent is false or it is true
we all must be careful about what we are writing on the net

There are forces around the world - who want to harm certain folks
but these forces can’t stay alive
soon the world will learn how to deal
with the false and nasty messages as soon they are sent
the young folks shall never be suffering from bullying mails

I have noticed that the mood here - is so gentle and so kind
I have never seen bad words
on this music site we have here
we can hear music from all the countries on our globe
my feelings are great when I listen to the songs from my friends

Lyrics in Swedish:  Kommunikation

Det ligger ett brev i min brevlåda - det är från en vän långt borta
Jag har aldrig sett den här killen
Posten har seglat över havet
till mitt land här där vintern kommer
posten är så välkommen och jag läser den så allvarligt

Det är lätt att skicka ett e-postmeddelande till alla - i världens alla hörn
ibland ljuger folk
det är inte så självklart
om meddelandet som skickas är falskt eller det är sant
vi måste alla vara försiktiga med vad vi skriver på nätet

Det finns krafter runt om i världen - som vill skada vissa människor
men dessa krafter kan inte överleva
snart kommer världen att lära sig hur man handskas
med de falska och otäcka meddelandena så fort de skickas
de unga ska aldrig drabbas av mobbningsmail

Jag har märkt att stämningen här - är så mild och så snäll
Jag har aldrig sett dåliga ord

Communication

Dear friends, many of us long for a better day tomorrow!!

Tomorrow

Dear friends have you ever noticed that everyone longs
for a lovely morning next day
when the sun wakes them up and when stock prices rise
but it isn’t like that for all
the circumstances are different for
us creatures on this globe

The little girl in Ukraine wish that all cannons are silent
and that all soldiers go back to their homes
to their wifes and their children who long for this day
and these wishes are probably the same
in all countries where war take place
it is certainly so

The people in countries where tyrants prevail
they only wish that the rulers can turn
to sweet and kind folks who always have in mind
all the best for the residents
the whole world supports all oppressed folks
they should never be alone

Lyrics in Swedish
I morgon
Kära vänner har ni någonsin märkt att alla längtar
efter en härlig morgon nästa dag
när solen väcker dem och när aktiekurserna stiger
men det är inte så för alla
Omständigheterna är olika för
oss varelser på detta jordklot

Den lilla flickan i Ukraina önskar att alla kanoner är tysta
och att alla soldater går tillbaka till sina hem
till sina fruar och sina barn som längtar efter denna dag
och dessa önskemål är nog desamma
i alla länder där krig äger rum
det är säkert så

Människorna i länder där tyranner råder
de önskar bara att de styrande kan vända sig
till söta och snälla människor som alltid har i åtanke
allt gott för de boende
hela världen stöder alla förtryckta människor
de ska aldrig vara ensamma

Tomorrow

Dear friends,
A little song for those who have fallen victim to the wars around the world

Lyrics in English:
The light

When darkness has settled over us
then we want to light the candles at our place
and we light our candles for all of them
who have it so hard

Now that hate has started to bloom in our world
then the time has come to see
with clear eyes on what has happened
it's time to rethink

Ljuset

När mörkret har lagt sig till ro över oss
så vill vi tända ljusen hos oss
och vi tänder våra ljus för alla dom
som har det så svårt

När nu hatet börjat blomma i våran värld
då är tiden inne för att se
med klara ögon på vad som har hänt
det är dags att tänka om

Ljuset (The Light) Lyrics in English below

Dear friends,
not all people celebrate Christmas, but all people can still be kind and considerate. All religions should absolutely preach peace, understanding and caring!
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and peace and quiet in the world.

Desire for a Merry Christmas 
The days have come to our world
when all folks should be happy
The bells are ringing from early morning
and the sound is heard far away
and all hatred is gone even in the poor
soldiers who are at war

 Chorus
The bells are heard all over the globe
and every eye shows the sign
that something has occured - the world has become new

In my country the winter has arrived
and lots of snow has fallen down
then lights from candels are seen in distant shores
it’s a sign for all that it’s peace
and all soldiers are burying the guns that they have and go
back to their wifes and kids

 Chorus
The bells are heard all over the globe
and every eye shows the sign
that something has occured - the world has become new

Desire for a Merry Christmas

Dear friends,
Goodness must not tire because then evil wins!

They Wait

They are waiting for that tomorrow will be a brighter day
They wish that the daybreak shall be quiet - all days
These small kids are alone and they long for the day when their parents come
to bring them back to their home town
where all of them feel that they are safe

The situation has become worse than it ever has been
and we people in the world must react - all days
we must tell the world leaders that this is no way to rule the world
the future should change direction
to a brighter society for us all

As I understand there are only few
with minds that are distroying the life - on earth
are they filled up with hatred or is it a gread for power
it should not be so hard to change their minds
and thus they may enter paradise

They Wait

Dear friends, I will never, never stop protesting against all evil

Are we doing well
I sit here in my chair and I am thinking
there are a few of us who are doing so well
we get what we need       - in our daily life
even the simpliest thing
as water to drink - and food on our plate

I sit here in my chair and I am thinking
we are not afraid - of bombs or grenades
not yet anyhow -     but threats there are
there are explosions around the world
but still I am sitting - and are full of hope

I sit here in my chair and I am thinking
how come there are those who have the guts to send
lots of horror and pain -       to innocent
people nearby
you can hardly believe - that such folks excist

I sit here in my chair and I am thinking
are there anything we can say to convince
the warlords that they are wrong  -      when they send death
we must make them feel ashame
and that they will consider  to change their plans

Are We Doing Well

Dear friends, I can't help that I simply have to continue to protest against all the violence in the world. It's only getting worse and worse - the invasion of Ukraine has escalated the number of bombings and violence in the Middle East is increasing. This is not the children's fault!

Kids Must Feel Safe

When the children are leaving their home
they must always be safe without any threats
wherever they may be - in our world
They say mom now I am home

The Year twenty three has not been good
for the kids in our world - a lot of kids have died
since villains have sent - bombs on their homes
the kids want to be safe

The year twenty four gives us hope
that the rulers of the world finally realized
that it is not ok to take any life
they can’t blame any war for that

The people must cool down
since all hatred create violence at once
this is an important lesson for all kids on earth
and the sun will shine on us

Kids Must Feel Safe

Dear friends, 
our lovely little Granddaughter will be nine years old in a couple of days.

En tjej på nio

Hon kommer som en vind - som en vind från öppet hav
med glädje tjut  -  hon flyger in
i vårat hem -  och nu blir allt väldigt ljust
Det är alltid fint med dom som sprider mycket glädje omkring

Det finns en tjej  soom kan - tala med naturen
hon talar med  -    myror och med bin
hon älskar dom  - och dom älskar henne med 
Det är alltid fint med dom som sprider mycket glädje omkring

Det spritter i hennes ben  -  hon kan inte sitta still
hon är som en  -  evighetsmaskin  
det livar upp  -  alla gamla trötta folk
Det är alltid fint med dom som sprider mycket glädje omkring

A Girl of Nine

She comes like a wind - like a wind from the open sea
with joy howl - she flies in
in our home - and now everything becomes very bright
It is always nice with those who spread a lot of joy around

There is a girl who can - talk to nature
she speaks with - ants and with bees
she loves them - and they love her too
It is always nice with those who spread a lot of joy around

It splatters in her legs - she can't sit still
she is like a - eternity machine
it enlivens - all the old tired folk
It is always nice with those who spread a lot of joy around

En Tjej på Nio (A Girl of Nine) with less noise

Dear friends, the forests are the lungs of the world and we must be careful of them. Despite this, the destruction of rainforests continues in several places in the world!!


Love of the Forest

When she moves out to the woodlands
she will find all the miracles that there are
that animals and flowers are feeling well
and they seem to say welcome dear friend
she wants to save all the plants and all the trees

She wonders how modern opinions
may affect the preservation of our life
have we forgotten the meaning of life
well, it seems that we have at present days
she wants to save all the plants and all the trees

Can You imagine the lovely feeling
a sunny day after that rain has fallen down
the scent of the rain is so wonderful
when You walk among the pinetrees in the wood
she wants to save all the plants and all the trees

Love of the Forest

Dear friends, the world is not feeling so well today! 

The Beginning of 24

We are a lot of folks who are despairing
The beginning of this year is of a great dissapointment
 - when someone sends tons and tons of bombs and grenades
on their neighbours
This year seems to be lost for all of us

Have You seen the horror in the faces of
those who wittnessed the victims of the severe explosions
 - the responsible of the use of bombs and grenades 
should try how it feels
This year seems to be lost for all of us

These events are destructive to the nature
the explosions are releasing substances that are harmful
 - for the well-being of the environment on our dear globe
 so we cannot complain   
This year seems to be lost for all of us

One warlord of today show signs of megalo mania
and also very severe signs of paranoid psychosis
 - these problems may cause dangerous decisions for the world
as we now have seen
This year seems to be lost for all of us

But what are they doing in the Middle east
they let hatred and violence win over peoples wisdom
 - the violence feeds hate which feeds violence in return
and the war begins
This year seems to be lost for all of us

But what shall we do,     about this terrible mess
maybe force all the rulers to sit down for negociations
 - and don’t let them out until they have said they have agreed
to bury their guns
and maybe twentytwentyfour will be so nice

The Beginning of 24

Lyrics in English

When the Mists Lift


When the mists lift and the light reaches here
that's when the longing for home appears
At home they are waiting for me to arrive
there have been many terror-filled days at sea
I've been wondering if I'll ever get home

  When now the mists lighten over the scene of battle
then there are many soldiers longing to go home
to his dear children and to his wife
it could also have been girls who had been in battle
and they wonder if they will ever come home

When now the smoke from bombs that hit their city
has been driven away with the strong wind from the north
then they see all the victims from this war
their hearts and souls have now gone to pieces
and they think they will never ever come home

When the mists lift and the sun peeks out
it is then that hope for peace grows
and the young people feel that it is peaceful
it is silent on all the battlefields around our world
and they know that all people come home         



Lyrics in Swedish 

När Dimmorna Lättar


När nu dimmorna lättar och ljuset når hit
det är då längtan efter hemmet träder fram
där hemma väntar dom att jag kommer fram
det har varit många skräckfyllda dagar till sjöss
jag har undrat om jag nånsin kommer hem

 När nu dimmorna lättar över platsen för strid
då är det många soldater som längtar hem
till sina kära barn- och till sin fru
det kan också varit flickor som varit uti strid
och de undrar om de nånsin kommer hem

När nu röken från bomber som träffat deras stad
har drivits bort med den starka vinden från nord
då ser de alla offer från detta krig 
deras hjärtan och själar har nu gått i kras
och de tror att de aldrig nånsin kommer hem

När nu dimmorna lättar och solen kikar fram
det är då hoppet om fred växer fram
och ungdomarna känner att det är lugnt
det är tyst på alla slagfält runt hela vår värld
och de vet att alla människor kommer hem

När Dimmorna Lättar - When the Mists Lifts (Lyrics in English in description)

Dear friends, how about a somewhat self-deprecating song?

Recovering

I have found some ways to recover - when I’m anxious or feeling low
I send a mail to my Grandkids just to give them my love
and if it is not too late an answer comes back
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

Sometimes when I’m feeling low - I ask for support from my wife
it might happen in the middle of the night and she never will protest
she will just take my little hand and squeezes it so light
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

If I wake up in the middle of the night - with a nightmare in my poor little brain
I will pick up my mobile and listen to the songs
that all my music friends have published on the net 
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

Recovering

Dear friends, it is a big day when a little guy will taste real food for the first time in his life. We were sent a video of this spectacle and you could see how grateful this little baby was for the little porridge served by his sister!
This song may be a little bit crazy, but it is an expression of love between a sister and a newborn little brother.

Lyrics inEnglish

Hugo's Big Day

It is on this day that something important will happen
they feel they are a little anxious
now it depends on - everyone knows what they are doing
if something goes wrong when this boy is to be trained

Is it said who does everything who experiments
it has to be someone you can trust
who could it be - it must be her
which shows that she always loves this little boy

What is going to happen now, is it something huge
it is now that his taste buds will be tested
because now it will be a little porridge - which he gets from his sister
and the reward is a small smile from this boy
        

Lyrics in Swedish

och belöningen blir ett litet leende från denna pojk

Hugos Stora Dag (Hugo's Big Day) Lyrics in English in description below.

Dear friends, once upon a time there was an opposition politician in a great and powerful country. After surviving a very severe poisoning, he was put in miserable prisons and later died under mysterious circumstances - It hurts!!

Lyrics in English

A Poor Man

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear when someone has died
when he fought for something that is good
he had striven for the freedom of his people

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I see that children in the world are suffering badly
when they were hit by bombs in their home
there they would have been safe from wicked men

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear people are starving to death
when there is so much money in this world
it would be very good if we can share everything we have

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear tyrants torment their people
they have thrown many people in a cage
and they have murdered several of those who oppose themselves


Lyrics in Swedish

 En Stackars Man

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör när någon människa har dött
när han stridit för något som är gott
han hade strävat efter friheten för sitt folk

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag ser att barn i världen lider svårt
när de träffats av bomber i sitt hem
där skulle de ha varit trygga från elaka män

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör att människor svälter ihjäl
när det finns så mycket pengar i denna värld
det hade varit väldigt bra om vi kan dela på allt vi har

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör att tyranner plågar sitt folk
de har kastat många människor i en bur
samt de har mördat flera av dom som opponerar sig

En Stackars Man - A Poor Man ( Lyrics in English in description below)

Dear friends,
so much dangerous junk they send out every day during these wars!!
They should be thoroughly ashamed! It is dangerous for people, animals and the climate. So much hate that exists today! And the hatred and violence is also increasing in the Middle East! So sad! Everyone should really sit down and think about what they are doing. Dear rulers of the world - war is not a game!!

Cultivating

they want to cultivate their land
but it ain’t so easy since
they live in the east    -     near the border of
the invading country - which pumps out a lot of scrap
in the fields where our friends want to see that the 
grain is growing up - they have never asked for the war

There are people in Africa
who long for grain from Ukraine
they starve to death.      -    while waiting for the ships   
which can’t sail away -  from the coast in the Black Sea
since there are evil forces who threatens the
crews on the ships who want to help those in need.

It is so dangerous
to cultivate the land in Ukraine
the tractor can hit.   -     mines and bombs everywhere
and if the small children. -   want to play on the ground
they may loose their legs or if they still will sur-
vive from these wounds their future lives will be hell

Cultivating (lyrics in English in description below)

The autumn has arrived in Sweden!

Lyrics:

When the Trees Change Clothes

The autumn is here and the trees change their clothes
and the sunlight makes the colors explode
It is nice just to be where the trees grow.
You can see the beauty that nature provides
It is wonderful to walk where the maple trees are.

All animals and creeps in the forest prepare
themselves until the winter storm comes
The roe deers have lessons for their teenaged kids
how to manage all troubles the winter brings
It is wonderful to walk where the maple trees are.

The first autumn air is so easy to breathe
and You feel that Your body is strong
the clouds in the sky take magnificent shapes
and if rain will come it is so soft and so smooth
It is wonderful to walk where the maple trees are.

When the Trees Change Clothes

Hey, You may see some wonderful pictures of this wonderful and kind little dog on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/Q_MPUnnQfE0
I was not so happy with the first version.
I hope this is better!!
There is one version in Swedish ("Vad tänker du på lilla vovve")

Lyrics:
What’s on Your Mind Little Doggie

Why can’t they get up - - - when the sun rise
my bladder is full, and my stomach empty is
I sit here and wonder - is it only poor me
who have to get out for peeing in the rain?
but I think I love my folks anyhow

I try to escape - - - when my master
appears with my collar saying now its time to go out
I hate to be tied cause I want to explore
all the news that’s exposed on every spot on the ground
but I think I love my folks anyhow

I love to play games - - - and I tempt them
with my ball which is painted with wonderful red and black
but they only are sitting in front of a screen 
which only sends out frightful blizzards to me
but I think I love my folks anyhow

Another subject to discuss - - - is the frequency of meals
that they offer in my bowl only two times a day and not more
but I know that they serve themselves several meals
and they don’t want to share with me cause then I´ll be fat
but I think I love my folks anyhow

What's on Your Mind Little Doggie (updated)

Karin-Maria asked me to make a Swedish song after a special theme. Here is the result.
It has been fantastic fun to work with Karin-Maria from beautiful Switzerland. Karin-Maria has made the background music, guitar, and mastered everything.
Lyrics, voice and guitar by Bengt Roth

Lyrics in English
Time
It is in Your Heart - it is also in Your Soul,
but we can never see it, because it hides both night and day.
We humans we want to see what it does,
it should be as it usually is.
But there are those who can never get enough - they stress and they do not feel well.
But there are also those who think the time is too long,
it can be all those who sit in their dark rooms
and looking through the window - all the little kids who
bounces around. But nobody knows how everything will be,
and for as long as you can stay. But it has to
take it in your hand - the time you have left - for the time it wants it
everyone is doing well on our earth - it must be so.

Lyrics i German
Zeit
Es ist in deinem Herzen - es ist auch in deiner Seele,
aber wir können es nie sehen, weil es Tag und Nacht verbirgt.
Wir Menschen wollen sehen, was es tut,
es sollte so sein wie es normalerweise ist.
Aber es gibt diejenigen, die nie genug bekommen können - sie betonen und sie fühlen sich nicht gut.
Aber es gibt auch diejenigen, die denken, die Zeit sei zu lang,
Es können alle sein, die in ihren dunklen Räumen sitzen
und durch das Fenster schauen - all die kleinen Kinder, die
springt herum. Aber niemand weiß, wie alles sein wird,
und solange du bleiben kannst. Aber es muss
Nehmen Sie es in die Hand - die Zeit, die Sie noch haben - für die Zeit, die es will
Allen geht es auf unserer Erde gut - es muss so sein.

Lyrics in Swedish
Tiden
Den finns i Ditt hjärta - den finns också i Din själ, 
men vi kan aldrig se den, för den gömmer sig både natt och dag. 
Vi människor vi vill se vad den gör,
det ska va som det brukar va.
Men det finns dom som aldrig kan få nog - de stressar och de mår inte bra.
Men det finns också dom, som tycker att tiden är för lång,
det kan va alla de som sitter i sina mörka rum 
och som tittar genom fönstret på - alla små barnen som 
skuttar omkring. Men det är ingen som vet hur allt ska bli, 
och hur länge som man får vara kvar. Men det gäller att 
ta den i handen - tiden som man har kvar - för tiden den vill att 
alla har det bra på vår jord - det måste vara så.

Tiden

Tiden by Bengt Roth and Karin-Maria Brunner

Hi, another tree hug song. I will not give up!
Those who rule our world must understand that we cannot survive without trees and plants. They are the only ones that can give us oxygen and assimilate carbon dioxide. You know that I have been working with oxygen and carbon dioxide my whole life! Forest fires are among the worst for the climate.
Plant trees in all sorts of places and fill our cities with plants! And - plant 2 new trees for every tree You cut! 

Clean Air

Can You feel the clean air when You are walking
between the trees in the woods
they produce what we need for our living
and they collect all the stuff - that we breath out.

Nearly all of the people who are in power
don’t seem to realize what the trees do
they even let people - cut down the rainforests
who can save us all - from suffocation

Everybody have learned when they attended school
all - about photosynthesis
that this is the only way to make oxygen
and to get rid of all the stuff that we breath out

The trees and the plants are the planets lungs
and it’s our duty to protect them
and we must also fill the towns with both trees and plants
so the coming generations can survive

Clean Air

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. After that I have got the possibility to be dedicated to music. 
My songs are a matter of extreme happiness (Gretas song) and extreme sadness (Tough Year). 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" and I will make my reposts here in the future.
