This song was inspired by "The Cold Heart" (German: Das kalte Herz), a fairy tale written by Wilhelm Hauff. It was published in 1827 in a collection of fairy tales that take place within the narrative of The Spessart Inn.
Although written almost 200 years ago, the described conflicts of mankind are still up-to-date, maybe even more than before. Preferring status und prosperity over humanity is something which has become socially acceptable.

Special thanks for prelistening and precious ideas to my dear friend Gary Reeves!

Lyrics
Peter was in the charcoal business
never in peace with the live he was living
made a deal with the forest spirit
Three wishes and a new life given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
 
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

It did not play out like you were whishing for
glassworks went down and you needed much more
sold your heart to Dutch Mike to keep living
a heart of stone and the fortune you were given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Flourishing business kept you going
but your smile was eternally frozen
when your drivers faded and you had murdered love
nothing left there but an empty heart

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Stone Cold Heart

An instrumental lullaby that I wrote for my daughter who arrived recently and has turned my world on it's head (in the most amazing way) :)

Mia's Lullaby

Omaggio a Papa Francesco
Con grandissima riverenza e riconoscente amore
Instancabile fino alla fine della sua vita terrena
Homage to Pope Francis
With great reverence and grateful love
Tireless until the end of his earthly life

Ray and I improvised this song together, only not at the same time and not on the same continent. Go figure.

Haven’t been on the cloud much lately. Been travelling across the southern Australian coastline, to the beautiful and remote Kangaroo Island. Its beauty seemed strangely juxtaposed to the horrors going on elsewhere. The contrast can wreak havoc with your moods!

Dear friends, drug abuse is a huge problem all over the world! Every person who buys drugs benefits criminals! So, say no to dope!
Throughout my professional life, I have encountered tragedies caused by drug abuse that affected young people. It has left a scar on my heart!

Say No to Dope

When the sun goes to rest shadows will appear downtown
and the twilight invite the youngsters to go out for some fun 
 the temptations are hard to resist this lovely night under the stars
there are guys that are very exciting
they can show girls how they can do to increase all their fun
One shouldn’t feed the bad crooks
who sell dope to our kids
they should be locked in the prison

They may give them some pills which look so harmless
but after a while they cannot control their actions
and they thought they had fun but the bad guys exploited the situation
and they forced them to do something that they don’t want
and the parents don’t know a thing what is happening to their kids
One shouldn’t feed the bad crooks
who sell dope to our kids
they should be locked in the prison




Lyrics in Swedish

Säg nej till knark

När solen går till vila dyker skuggor upp i centrum
och skymningen inbjuder ungdomarna att gå ut för lite skoj 
frestelserna är svåra att motstå denna härliga natt under stjärnorna
det finns killar som är väldigt spännande
de kan visa tjejer hur de kan göra för att öka allt roligt
Man ska inte mata de dåliga skurkarna
som säljer knark till våra barn
de borde låsas in i fängelset




De kan ge dem några piller som ser så ofarliga ut
men efter ett tag kan de inte kontrollera sina handlingar
och de trodde att de hade roligt men skurkarna utnyttjade situationen och de tvingade dem att göra något som de inte vill
och föräldrarna vet ingenting om vad som händer med deras barn
Man ska inte mata de dåliga skurkarna
som säljer knark till våra barn
de borde låsas in i fängelset

Probably our last grand rock number as we start to wind down to finish our first collection of songs. Al took the reins with the lyrics on this one (and as always, the beautiful artwork) - inspired by a short story by Julia Armfield in Salt Snow and apparently an episode of Buffy! I just thought it sounded dead cool and really enjoyed singing her lyrics. Musically inspired by Nirvana, Elliott Smith, Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell.

Dear friends - I can't help it - I adore the female voice!

When Girls are Singing

When I listen to the girls when they are singing their song
my heart will melt and my soul feel so good since their voices are so great
all time - there must be something - that attract
the guys that hear - the womans voice which are singing for their soul 

Every day when I open the radio to hear
lovely songs that touch my dear soul and I often choose the songs
performed - by ladies who sing with bright
and crystal sound that makes my ears rejoice with joy

The choir in the church is something that You should hear
it is a sound as from angels above and when trumpets are playing
with the choir - something is fullfilled - in Your day
You can bring Your kids - back to Your home with satisfaction in Your heart

Lyrics in Swedish

När flickor sjunger

När jag lyssnar på flickorna då de sjunger sin sång
smälter mitt hjärta och min själ mår så bra eftersom deras röster är så fantastiska
hela tiden - det måste finnas något - som attraherar
killarna som hör - kvinnornas röst som sjunger för deras själ

Varje dag när jag öppnar radion för att höra
vackra sånger som berör min kära själ och jag väljer ofta sånger
framförda - av damer som sjunger med ett klart
och kristallklart ljud som får mina öron att jubla av glädje

Kören i kyrkan är något du borde höra
det är ett ljud som från änglar ovan och när trumpeter spelar
med kören - något uppfylls - i din dag
Du kan ta med dina barn - tillbaka till ditt hem med tillfredsställelse i ditt hjärta

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. 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".
