Diona Liepiņa submitted her latest song “Nesaki ne” to a wider audience. A choreographically dynamic video was also created for the single, in which the singer herself participates… sitting in a chair.
The video clip of the song was made by Diona Liepiņa in cooperation with director and producer (and also actress) Madlēna Valdberga and cameraman Mārtinas Strazdiņas. Although the song, like most of Dion’s repertoire, is quite energetic and danceable, the singer herself does not leave the “Kino Bize” chair during the course of the events of the clip (although it is obvious that she would like to…) – the dancers Elina dance the story in her place Zaika and Dāvis Imants Ozoliņš. “This is what I wanted to achieve – the music makes you dance along, the words make you think, everything depends on the mood,” says Diona.
“In the video, the story of the song is danced, which the main character looks back on like a memory. The story depicts two people, one of whom sees the future and the other does not. Therefore, “don’t say no”. The main character of the story watches the film or danced story about her memories, remembering what she experienced, and feeling both the warm and despairing, sad and hopes-left emotions, coming to terms and realizing that she has to live on and must not deny herself new opportunities, ” explains the singer.
The emotional and musical message of the song is suitable for sunny days, not so sunny, rainy and cloudy days. “People get used to the good so quickly that letting it go is harder than you think. For example, in a relationship. We often rely on the other and get so used to it that when we feel that everything is crumbling and falling apart, it feels like we have to grab the last straw, because at that moment we are as afraid of rejection as we are of ourselves, so to ask or not to ask, to do or not to do… There is a dilemma, reflections, but that’s life, and that means you shouldn’t say no, and erase the past from your life, forget, hide,” Diona explains about the song’s message. “You have to learn to understand, accept the situation and realize that even if the relationship ends, you will still meet this person. Maybe not here, but in some other parallel for sure. Other times we can simply tell ourselves “don’t say no” to give something new a chance. Other times we want to tell someone else “don’t say no” in a particular life situation. Not saying ‘no’ is like a ticket to adventure.”
