Recorded in 2021. remastered.  I have to have a new way to play the piano. My sister and my son are doing that. They are working out a way to bring the piano to my hospital bed. I can no longer sit up, even in my powerchair. It's too uncomfortable and hard to breathe. I don't have functioning back or abdominal muscles, and I can't lift my head off my chest unless In laying back. Only my arms and hands are semi-functioning. My thumbs are going bad. I can't pull a zipper. I won't be able to play as well and I don't know how I'll work the sustain pedal - but I'll do my best! 😊🎶🎹🎶

End of the road ( Male perspective) .mp3

There is light at the end of the darkened tunnel. No matter what happens in life hopefully there is a way to find happiness! 




Yon wind howls o'er the craggy hill
 The heather bends But it won’t be still 
A wee bairn cries doon by the burn 
Auld ghosts linger They ne’er return  

Dinnae fash The stars will guide 
The tide it turns Nae need tae hide  

Under the heather moon We’ll bide 
Wi' secrets whispered Side by side 
Oor hearts beat wild Wi' love sae true
 Forever lost under skies sae blue  

Auld stones watch fae the ancient glen 
Whisperin' tales o’ forgotten men 
The bracken dances A fiery sea 
Hame feels far But ye're here wi’ me  

Under the heather moon We’ll bide 
Wi' secrets whispered Side by side 
Oor hearts beat wild Wi' love sae true 
Forever lost under skies sae blue  

The world may crumble Hills may fall 
But in yer arms I’ll brave it all 
The loch may freeze The trees may bow
 But love like this It won’t break now

Under the heather moon .mp3

Scotch and Sun

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

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. 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".
