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

Silver and Gold

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)

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 in California 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
          C                        G        G                     C    G
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

My wife was listening all day to me working on this song. When I added a banjo, her interest piqued, and she wrote lyrics for a country feel.

The Prescription Blues
Lyrics Veronica Krath
Music Mike Krath
Performed and Produced Mike Krath

In the morning when I rise
Gotta take these pills to feel alive
They help me get through another day

Through all my aches and all my ills
My salvation lies in a tiny pill
And my life lies on a prescription pad

Why did the Lord put me on this earth
Just to take all these pills to feel my worth
Wish I could take my body back

Oh Lord, I wish there was another way,
To make it through another day,
Then taking all these pills.

Chorus:
And in the end when I die
My hope is that I’ll find myself in paradise
With no pills and no more pain
Cause to live is Christ and to die is gain.

The Prescription Blues

THAT'S WHEN IT HURTS ME THE MOST

Lyrics:

I can show you were the crow lives now
Black feathers and king like crown
Kiss that ring when your taking the bow
Don't shake
They take flesh by the pound
Don't mistake
Love for a noun
Cause it means heartbreak
When the ups are down
heartbreak
When the ups are down
Bitch I'm over and Out
Over and Out 
I got goons in the back a the Ford
Goons and they back at the fort
Did I mention we knock and we chop
Mmm
Socks and we fill m with rocks
We bored
Yeah
Films about knocking the clocks
Out a cops on the road
Show
Flock and they raise me on shoulders
Like never Before
Woah oh woah
Yeah
Don't rag on the man with the scorn
Body bags under the porch
He don't whip in he rip off the Porsche at the store
He don't trip and he quit every time he gets bored
Every time I get
Yeah
Wanna be on the road
Wanna be on the 
I don't wanna be here
I wanna be on the road
I wanna be away
I wanna be on tour
I need everyone's attention but I also wanna be alone
We got a long night
And a long drive
I got something we can light
Make the honey that is roasting in the pipe
That's tight
10 roach
Break down
Frank Stein
Bee hives make the money that's right
What a life
Break out the wine
I'm fake your fake
That's wild
Let's walk and talk some shit for a while

Forget About You (Prod. GEN6IX and Fantasy Club)

This is an original song. It was recorded with Guillem MiTchel on Weissenborn slide guitar and Art Banymandhub on double bass.

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".
