Sweet hope and sad truth in this Bengt...lovely recording!!!

good song and lyrics.......nice guitar and vocal......you have very english vibe with your folk songs

Very beautiful vocal, nice song and lyrics, well done Bengt !

Great song claiming the rights of people, especially because of the difficult times that some countries are experiencing.

beautiful playing, really tender, really like it when the harp comes in.

Wonderful song with a serious message.  It's surely our common hope that these ills will subside.

Fin sång med ett sympatiskt budskap. Nice arrangments in a fine composition with an important message

Watson Adrian's Album

Mellow

Dear friends,
Many people in the world are oppressed - in some countries women and girls are oppressed - in some countries opposition politicians are imprisoned or killed - some tyrants see themselves as having the right to invade neighboring countries and kill thousands of people.
I feel that I must purposely continue to write songs about these ills - but the tyrants are probably not listening to my songs!

The people are free
When the people are free from the tyrants 
                 G               D                    C    D                             D
they will walk in the streets day and night
                C                D                      G                                  G
they sing and they laugh and they are clapping their hands
         G                    D                           C                    G          G
and their boys and their husbands can stay at home 
                C                     D                   G          D                     D
and there is no one to call them to the military life
                    G              C                       D           G
they will live in peace
              1/2C 1/2D G          C
they will live in peace
              1/2G 1/2D G

If we look at our world at the present time
           G               D                  C           D                      D
we can see how the tyrants advance
            C                  D              G                                   G
It is hard to understand how their childhood has been
         G                     D                      C                    G      G
They are shooting on innocent people
                 C               D             G   D                              D
There is a limit for the people when they start to react
                 G                   C                           D             G
They want to live in peace   
                   1/2C 1/2D G          C
They want to live in peace                      
                   1/2G 1/2D G

There will come a day when the people
                  G         D                   C     D                         D
can decide the clothes they ware on the streets
           C                                 D                    G              G
and no one will go to prison for their opinions
       G                         D                      C     G                 G
and all invasion forces will go back to where they belong
               C                   D                        G                  D   D
and for the sake of our kids this mission must be kept alive
                    G                 C                        D                     G
We want to live in peace   
                   1/2C 1/2D G          C
We want to live in peace                      
                   1/2G 1/2D G

A Change Of Mind

St. Martin's Day In Poznań

'While The Leaves Sing Love Songs To Me' is a Soundscape inspired by the feelings and energies received whilst strolling slowly through the forest. The sheer strength of the trees with breezes rustling through the leaves. Surrounded as if in a cacoon of changing aromas, heightening the senses and all the time hearing gentle whispers, as the trees convey their thoughts.....

Small Prelude

Originally written and performed by The Children Are Grumpy:

- Thanks for letting us mess with this. Apologies for changing the A# to a Bb mate.

Lyrics: 

Relax		
and take a break,
You’ve had a long long year,
on handbrake
 
The bells they ring in towns you’ve been
The sounds are clear, but you’re 43
It’s way too late to re-create
 
Watching football or playing chess
The bucket list, go watch the Jets,
We drink coffee and dance to Summer Babe

The coffee guy just called your name
 
Pay some tax
Or bake a cake
You want to commandeer
All mistakes
 
Drumming lessons pay for council fees
You’re swimming in bills, it's more surreal
Your feet are cold in the month of May
 
Drinking beer and watching screens
The bucket list, go see your team
We drink coffee and dance to Summer Babe

The coffee guy just called your name,
The coffee guy I swear he called your name, 
Wake up bud, I think he called your name,
Hey there mate, I swear he called your name

Seizures (All Mistakes - Bb Version)

Seizures (All Mistakes Version)

Trapped In Ma Mind

Dear friends - terrible forest fires are raging around the world right now - especially in Greece!
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.
