The door 03:38
Behind the door, I hope your mine, Behind the door, I hope you'll find, I want some more, To make me blind, Not to see the world again, Ease my pain! Ease my pain! Behind the door, I take a chance, You feel intense, push me on the floor. It'll take a moment, to be then in silence Long enough to live ten lives.. I'll take all your lies I'll take all your lies Behind the door, I feel obscure, My hope is impure, All we want to ask for is.. Take us down, take us down to the field On our knees And then kill us slowly And then kill us slowly And then kill us slowly

Blame 03:58
All I do is to blame you For all my tears, for all my pains, For all the things I've never had, For all those things, that I can't stand.. All I do is to judge you, All your acts, and all your moves, All the trust I've never gave you, All my fears of being myself alone.. Myself... Alone....

Stock market 03:20
We were a bunch of kids, Playing soccer on the streets.. Now every little boy has a cell phone, You never know what could be going on Selling his stock market, over the internet Oh yeah yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah yeah Every little girl has her own dreams, It's not about Barby or getting married It's to get up on stage and start to sing Oh yeah yeah yeah

God I am so alone sometimes, Myself and I just socialise About nothing and anything About this life and what it means Dont Leave Me Dont Leave Me Dont Leave Me

Misery is my excuse I use for my head to stay dry but again if I choose Force my mind to be cold and high We forget, now it's gone all alone There's some other place I was a mess And you died for a cent Free for as in space Working hard everyday So we can pay the rent TV is on, right station All along.

Coming out, my house, Turn around, The same corner, The same people are going home. Cross this street, my street, Those same faces, those same treats, I can't bare it anymore, I need to find a way before, You come along with your silly ideas, of me Having your wonderful career Having your wonderful career Having your wonderful career Coming out, my house, Turn around, The same corner, The same people are going home. Cross this street, my street, Those same faces, those same treats, I can't bare it anymore, I need to find a way before, you come along with your silly ideas, of me, Having your wonderful career Having your wonderful career Having your wonderful career

Vivre 03:04
Ma vie est ma guerre Je n'en veux pas. Et puis tout foutre en l'air, Ca ne se fais pas, Laisser moi seul maintenant Je n'ai plus beaucoup de temps Pour vivre mes reves d'enfants Ma vie est ma peine, Je ne la choisie pas, Et toutes ces images qui s'enchainent, Restent avec moi, Une vie sans etincelles qui ne s'enflamme pas Et puis tout foutre en l'air, Laisser vivre seul maintenant Je n'ai plus beaucoup de temps Pour vivre mes reves d'enfants

Superman 05:20
Just when I thought I got the answer, It disappeared down in the gutter. I've spent all my nights and days, Looking for my lost ways... I can't see this coming, You'd better wait another day. And again, I am not your superman, I can't be your super hero, I can't see this coming, You'd better wait another day. You'd better wait another day

about

Against the Beat is 'The Color Green' Fourth full length album.

The first part of the album was written during 2005.
Songs like "My house"- in which I talk about my night shift day job, "Stock market" ( is about reality shows ) or "Superman" and other folk-rock tunes, aiming for a cleaner sound than my previous releases.
But still not enough for anything..

That's how I kept writing and "The door", "Electric", "Blame" and "Don't leave me" were born. The latter was recorded with Jol'e Blon Williams, a singer from Seattle, I've met on MySpace.
Inspired by our first collaboration, I've asked Jol'e to join me in "My house" too.
During the beginning of 2006, I got involved into another project - a student movie soundtrack - cutting me right off, but just enough to perceive the rest of the album.

"War-M", "Blue Whale" and "Vivre" were than added to the list of tracks to record.
"Shepherd", and "Watchin you sleep" were the tracks I worked on the most. They both expressed that grey monotony the album missed so far.
I've tried to put in one box all the possible transitions between my moods.

'Against the beat' was recorded during the summer of 2006.
A war started in Israel, where I live, while I was recording.
So the joyful 'War-M' was born, and took his place as the last track to make his way in.

Later in 2008, I've formed the band Greenhouse, and most of the song albums were readapted for gigs.
