Watchdogs 03:53
lyrics
Watchdogs You Always See Bright On A Dark Day Then Make A Right Turn Into A Wrong Way Thought I Tracked Your Footprints In My Heart It Was Your Watchdogs Though, They're Keeping Us Apart I Dug Deep For Meaning In Your Words The Same Time You Were Grinding Your Best Swords Heard Your Laughter Rolling Down The Slope You Pulled Me All The Way Up Just To Cut The Rope I Give Up Show Me What Inside I Am Lost With You But I Am Gone Without And As You Let Me In Through The Back Door I Am In The Burning Fronts Of Your Cold War I See Shadows Coming From The Fog You Come In Peace Ma' Baby Along With Your Watch Dogs I Give Up Show Me What Inside I Am Lost With You But I Am Gone Without

Perfect Confusion 03:13
lyrics
Perfect Confusion Fly my child on your rhymes and your rhythms Find the secrets you'll never be told They will line up in perfect confusion Chains to unlock, dreams to unfold As you wonder through clouds of misgivings Don't let go of the fire within Did your time in the land of illusion Now you’re due to come out of your skin Tell me son of white nights and black valleys Set them free, buried pain and despair They will light up the darkest of forests Winding roads of those who still care Make your way, and be sure, they will follow But watch out for what glitters in gold Apples offered by lows of the lowest Lights can be dimmed, souls can be sold. Fly on your rhythm Fly on your own

Just Walk 03:27
lyrics
Just Walk Floating down the road Far gone in a day dream Breathing in the grey Consumed in my pace All that I’ve taken is washing away All that I’ve gone through is senseless this day Drifting up the hill I drown in a soul trip Breathing in the rain I’m lost in my chase All that’s around me is there for display All that they fed me is tasteless this day Round and round Nothing found On common ground Keep on walking In my mind Spirals lie Don’t ask why Just keep on walking Pushing through the storm I’m pulled into clearness There’s no looking back I won’t leave a trace All that I searched for remains in the past All that’s inside me is simple at last

Traffic Circles 04:00
lyrics
Traffic Circles On the move But heading nowhere Nowhere to go And still you choose to go there There’s a reason that I won’t reach me Traffic circles Never teach me No avenue Let me follow through Deadly endings They’re always pending too Open roads No map for guidance All turns are blocked Cold engines roar behind us Stay beside me just for another ride Take the driver seat, lead us through this night Stick around just for another fight Make the distance, let us rest our minds You’re stuck within The laws of motion Fooled to believe All destinies are open Stay beside me just for another ride Take the driver seat, lead us through this night Stick around just for another fight Make the distance, let us rest our minds
5.
A Way Out 03:20
lyrics
A Way Out Woke up this morning from a beautiful dream peeling myself off the pavement of low self esteem motionless faces on a pile of rushing feet the back of my mind is still pounding to yesterday's beat I gathered my peaces shuffled the cards picked myself up to embark on another fresh start no room for confusion or sinking in doubt been hanging about for too long I gotta find a way out
6.
Rise 04:25
lyrics
Rise Coming at you by the millions Hanging on their family tree You’ll be blinded Then they’ll set you free Once in palaces and castles Now they live in your TV You can watch’em Write your history Don’t look down people Hold your ground and say: What is mine is mine What is mine is mine Find your voices Gotta draw the line Sold by gangs of priests and preachers A manual to life well-spent Kneel before us Is what they really meant Wrapped in promises of later Ignorance is daily-made Fire and daemons Keeping you afraid Don’t look down brothers Lost IS found! Just shout What is mine is mine! What is mine is mine! Find your voices Soldiers of our time Just shout What is mine is mine! What is mine is mine! Find your voices We’re running out of time Stand before them Look’em in the eye
7.
Regret 03:52
lyrics
Regret Your head rests on the cold wall You asked me why I failed to deliver Then rubbed against my anxiety But never made any accusations Remember how not so long ago You put your lips in my ears and whispered Words that didn't rhyme with sobriety They gave rise to anticipation And now we're off on a bumpy road Trying hard to find another rhythm We're nowhere near where we meant to go And it feels kinda sour in this situation Time to look away from All that we have dreamed of Everything we picture Melts into regret before it’s gone Another night on the cold wall With all the postures you will not consider You had a fight with variety And made friends with determination And once again on this bumpy road Trying hard to find another rhythm We're nowhere near where we meant to go And it feels kinda sour in this situation Time to look away from All that we have dreamed of Everything we picture Melts into regret before it’s gone

White Nights 03:37
lyrics
White Nights Sooner or later we’re bitten by a sour sting No you don’t need the facts, you just take a stand You got the holy glow of the lonely man Flip it and turn it, dig in and learn it You can’t seem to shake the disease of the lonely man Love don't just grow on you, you must hunt it down Instead you’ll be spending time where it’s safe and sound you can't seem to find yourself in your selfish land It’s written all over you, you’re the lonely man Scratch it and peel it disguise and conceal it Just can’t seem to shake the disease of the lonely man. White nights lying in bed Pictures mess with my head Lights are flashing in red I’m going mad The sound of the ringing truth just won’t wake you up Not even dogs of war sitting at your lap Why don’t you open up, what d’ya got to lose? Haven’t you had enough walking in these shoes? You fight it then flee it why can’t you just see it It’s staring you right in the face! White nights lying in bed Pictures mess with my head Lights are flashing in red I’m going mad White nights lying in bed (What you got to lose?) Pictures mess with my head (Walking in these shoes?) Lights are flashing in red (You are going mad) Wise old master once said (It’s all over you) We’re all alone when we’re dead (Nothing left to do) No I can’ t be afraid.

Grow Out 04:55
lyrics
Grow Out You used to think that I could fly Well, no, I can’t You used to hold me oh so tight Well, now you can’t You did your part and I did mine Somehow it’s gone And all we got is pain and doubt So let’s grow out   I used to read between your lines You changed the code You used to tell me sweet little lies They shook my world You kept your cards and I kept mine It’s time to fold There’s nothing left to lie about So let’s grow out   I fell for you in present tense Forget the past If we could only make some sense We still won’t last But in our little universe We fade and rust You see, we use a fish-eye lens   For looking glass I waist your time and you waist mine In storms and droughts So you go north and I’ll go south Now let’s grow out   Falling Drifting Must be something we can’t see… Grow out of passion and out of style And out of each other for a while Grow out of tension and out the door And out of everything we should have could have long before.

Lose My Mind 03:23
lyrics
I bet you think you know me You always thought you knew it all With everything you taught me You’d never teach me how to fall And now you get to watch me from a distance Before I lose my mind When I finally lost you There was sorrow in your eyes Between the “things you must do" And the ones who’s left behind I never thought that there could be a reason Never dreamed about the wrongs I’d live to find Before I lose my mind Before I lose my mind Found yourself a new day Let a stranger through the door Had to go your own way Break the pieces even more I hear you calling but it means nothing to me It all comes down to be or not to be I have to deal with trouble of this kind Before I lose my mind Before I lose my mind Don’t let me lose my mind I’m gonna lose my mind I hear you calling but it means nothing to me It all comes down to be or not to be I have to deal with trouble of this kind Before I lose my mind

about

“Unemployed In Greenland” founders are childhood friends Guy J Cohen and Roy Coopervasser, both natives of Israel. They started collaborating musically in their early 20’s, exploring a wide range of electronic music styles that later combined with their love of jazz, funk, rock, hiphop and disco to create their own eclectic approach.
Their collaboration turned into a long-distance partnership withCoopervasser’s departure to New York to study Music & Technology at the Sonic Arts Center at CCNY. At the same time Cohen joined the film scoring program at “Rimon” music school in Israel.
The duo’s passion for creating music together, however, was as strong as ever and they were determined not to let the geographical distance get in their way. They started using FTP technology and found that the physical gap was in many ways beneficial, allowing for session musicians hired both in Tel-Aviv and New York to collaborate and inspire each other.
In 2005 they established their own Music Production company – 7 Grain
Music (www.7GrainMusic.com) where they have been collaborating on producing music and composing for picture and commercials both in Israel
and in New York.
The album Perfect Confusion was produced during 2007-2010.
