where are our leaders when we need them ..you are such a breath of fresh air Bengt. johnny

A beautiful and meaningful song, Bengt. David Bowie sang "This is not America" 40 years ago. I always have this song in my head when I follow current developments. But it doesn't just apply to the country sung about, but also to many other countries. Unfortunately, it also applies to the country I live in. You can really worry about the future of your children and grandchildren. Thank you for this wonderful, true and bitter song, Bengt.

@user-936947521: Oooh, thank You soo much for Your kind comments

🎵 My dear musical friend Bengt Erik, what a powerful protest song for these challenging times! Your voice carries such genuine concern for the direction we're heading ✨ The lyrics tackle these difficult social issues with such honesty and clarity 🎤 Your guitar playing provides the perfect foundation for this important message 💫 Love how you directly address the changing world order and political shifts 🌟 So proud to call you my friend - you keep creating such meaningful and thought-provoking music! ❤️ A much-needed voice of conscience for 2025! 🎸

A can hear a strong memory shine through in your song.

Wonderful inspirational song. A compassionate message for us, here now. Will we (society) ever truly heal from tyranny? Find a deeper lasting peace?

funny how politicians do not learn from there mistakes....great song

Lovely song , instrumentation , vocals and harmonies all bang on !

"Seeker's Frustration" is an ambient electronic track inspired by a vivid dream, capturing the frustration of an endless quest and elusive desires. This personal piece reflects inner conflicts and themes from Carl Jung's theories, such as the clash between desires and practicality. Initially hesitant to share, I released it to see how it resonates with others. Explore the surreal depths of this dream

I was walking down Mare Street, Hackney
Climbing boots and back pack on
Looking for a song of mountains
I had climbed them many times before
Challenge may help to find another door

I’ve climbed arduous N.H.S mountains
Planted flags a'top of wedlock peaks
Hung upside down on magical fountains
With my muscles springing major leaks
My heart is growing smaller by the week

Stood and pointed at hours of darkness
Winds of silence a challenge of their own
Worn out boots a testament to distance
But the misery of counting my toes alone
Sixty three feet behind me as it goes

I have loved being a man of mountains
I hope many will profit from my deeds
I will try to climb just one more mountain
Slide down the other side to save my feet
At the bottom I'll need brand new cleats

This was written over 10 years ago as a George Formby style (Google the name if you’ve never heard of him) ukulele song - a mildly amusing message to Gal to let him know that I was fully aware of the mental health difficulties he was having and that I would always be there if he needed me.

Over the years, we spoke often about the song but nothing much came of it until Gal suggested slowing the tempo and giving it a kind of shuffle beat. As it was about him, I thought he should definitely sing the lead vocal, which I think works rather well. (*Vocalist’s note: It would help if I could still sing…)

You’ll find many personal references to Gal’s life in the lyrics. At the time it was written, he was 63, literally a fatal age for men in the extended Reeves family and he wasn’t having the best of times himself, still wrestling with the grief of a marriage break-up alongside the loss of his big brother and closest friend less than a year before. But even with all of this going on (and not always out of choice) he found there were plenty more mountains to climb.

The transition of the tune from Formby to Albers is a story in itself but suffice it to say that Hans somehow managed to transform it into this rather poignant opus.  He has also made a beautiful film to accompany the piece (see link above). All in all, it testifies perfectly to the reason why Gal’s cleats are somewhat care-worn...and he still has many mountains yet to climb.. (Terry Reeves)

I got my first hate mail the other day
I guess that must mean I'm doing okay.
I'm in the forge but I'm no forgery
Being made like a blade
Come and play with me.
People like to call themselves by all kinds of pretty names
But they're just labels to help them play the game.
It's time to say goodbye. I gotta go
And I won't see you again
I think you know.
I'll keep on walking the way I like to walk
And I'll keep on talking the way I like to talk
And If I meet somebody who sees the light in me
This time I'll double check the truth in what I see.

Dear friends - YES - another protest song!

Where are we going

I thought one day that the year twentyfive will be fine
the last year was a terrible year
In our country some youngsters did go the wrong way
and where are we going in our sweet land


There are some criminals who lure some boys and girls on the net
they promise them a fortune if they
blow up or kill any person who are standing in their way
ooh - where are we going in our sweet land

The present world order seems to change to a more cruel one
there are dictators who seem to win at the end
the right wings in the politics seem to be prominent
and where are You going America

Where Are We Going  - 2025-03-01 16.43 (Lyrics in description)

Now into my seventh decade of living, and celebrating my fiftieth anniversary this month as a guitar player (I should play better than do;), I wanted to drop this "little ditty" as my attempt to keep up with the likes of Bill Liggett (@soundcloud.com/greenfleamusic/tracks) and other notable players on this fine platform.  Actually it's an attempt to keep up with myself, seeing if I can still play what I learned 40-plus years ago, in the case of this song, the introductory licks I learned from a very fine Kansas City lounge musician, Mark Bell in 1979.  For those keeping score, you may remember it from the song "This Motel Room" by Jimmy Buffet--a fun and clever song that details the many nights touring musicians have to endure staying in motel rooms.  I took the initial licks heard throughout the song and built an independent melody line around it, half blues ditty, half musical joke, with a serious moment (you know I have to have one of those:), all with the hope of bringing a smile.  I'm proud to say I can still play it, and maybe, just maybe a little better now than then:)  Bill, just don't ask me to play it live;)

Poitrine contre poitrine,
ma chair contre ta chair,
je me souviens d'un silence rempli de ton sourire.
Au seuil de l'horizon .... vivent mes songes
et nos premiers regards. et nos premiers regards.
Je n'avais étreint aucun corps,
ni laissé aucune trace dans le sable des plages.
Il n'y avait aucun enjeu. Aucune honte et
le vent nous portait.
le vent nous portait.
Là bas vit ma jeunesse remplie de ton sourire.
Là bas le temps ne passe pas. .. ne passe pas.
Je n'avais étreint aucun corps,
ni laissé aucune trace dans le sable des plages.
Au seuil de l'horizon, vivent mes rêves.
Et le temps infini.
Et le temps infini

Filled

Chest against chest,
my flesh against your flesh,
I remember a silence filled with your smile.
On the threshold of the horizon .... live my dreams
and our first glances. and our first glances.
I hadn't embraced any body,
nor left any trace in the sand of the beaches.
There was nothing at stake. No shame and
the wind carried us.
the wind carried us.
There lives my youth filled with your smile.
There time does not pass. .. does not pass.
I had embraced no body,
nor left any trace in the sand of the beaches.
On the threshold of the horizon, live my dreams.
And infinite time.
And infinite time

You lured me in
Through a veil, so thin
A rogue weekend to play pretend
Oh, end
This tragic day
But before I lead myself astray
There's one more thing I need to say

Just fade away
Walk away
My happiness has gone astray

Your love was cheap
You're such a creep
This black heart
Is yours to keep

Your lies were thick
The end came quick
And all that mattered
Was burned and scattered
Burned and scattered


Burned And Scattered

This track tells of a young man in love with a young woman but unable to pursue her because he must look after his very young child. He laments that nobody knows how he feels nor knows of his sacrifice.

   Sim, Cristo amou a igreja e Se entregou,
   Por ela deu a vida assim.
   Sim, Cristo amou a igreja e Se entregou,
   Para santificá-la pelo lavar
   Da água na palavra, por amor,

   Não tendo mancha, ruga, nem coisas assim,
   Mas que seja santa e sem defeito,
   Pra que Ele a apresente a Si mesmo
   Gloriosa, Cristo e a Igreja,
   Gloriosa, Cristo e a Igreja.

Christ loved the church, and gave Himself up for her,
He gave His perfect life up for her;

Christ loved the church, and gave Himself up for her
That He might sanctify her,
Cleansing her by the washing of the water in the Word.
 
Not having spot or wrinkle—
Or any such things,
That she might be holy and without blemish,
That He might present the church to Himself
Glorious, Christ and the church,
Glorious, Christ and the church.

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

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".
