From the depths of grief and all the economic, financial and social problems that surround us, art alone remains soothing and soothing. Lebanon is not devoid of artists who still carry the message of refined and purposeful art, and who serve their art for the benefit of a general matter that the people suffer from, not individuals or a specific group. She is a Lebanese actress who lived through the war and all the crises and suffering that followed. She is Lilian Nimri, who dedicated the song “Monologue” to the most difficult crisis that Lebanon is going through – as she described it. The title of the song is “Oh Dollar”. And when she focuses on her words, written by the brother of the actress, Tony Nimri, she is confused about my reaction. Should she cry or laugh?
Nimri described “Ya Dollar” as a “fascination of morals” that the Lebanese people need, who have lived through injustice in all its forms. She also said that her song is a kind of compensation in the absence of the Lebanese theater that conveys the people’s problems to their stage, and she believes in the work she presented that she had been seeking for for a long time. .
In her interview with MTV, Nimri revealed the scenes of preparing the song, saying that she had worked for more than 20 years on more than 50 songs written and composed by her brother, and she had always thought of recording a song with her own clip, but the production capacity did not help her. However, after Lebanon entered the vortex of darkness and the circle of its financial and economic problems from which there is no way out, she decided to record something related to the crisis and describe it in a dramatic and comic way, because no matter how hard life hits her, her laughter does not leave her face, her cheerful spirit does not wither, and she will not be stingy to put her mark in her works. The comedy that most Lebanese love and wait for. What prompted her more to record a song this year, in the form of a video clip – as she used to record the song “Without a Clip” every about two years or more – was her absence from the Ramadan season and people asking about it, in addition to the passage of more than two years without her recording a song.
She explained that the song was not written last, but while researching the lyrics of the songs that Tony wrote for her, she found “Ya Dollar”, and the last one he wrote for her about 3 years ago, that is, when the exchange rate of the dollar did not exceed 10 thousand Lebanese pounds, and she found it suitable for our current days. After the latter crossed the threshold of 90 and sometimes a hundred thousand pounds, she did not think about her decision twice, but rather rushed to the matter and started work immediately, and Nimr Habib, who supported and supported her in that, took charge of recording and distributing it.
The Lebanese star expressed her happiness with this song, considering that it reveals what is in the heart of every Lebanese, and that it translates what he wants to say to the dollar.
“Ya Dollar” written and composed by Tony Nimri, recorded and arranged by Nimr Habib, and directed by George Tawfik. You will see the clip first on mtv and onetv.
In a separate context, actress Lillian Nimri, since the beginning of the crisis, has been publishing funny videos about the crisis in which Lebanon is mired. She was especially famous for her messages, which she was filming while she was talking about Lebanon on the phone, and these clips were widely spread on social media, due to the strength of Lillian’s performance and the depth of her words, as if she was really depicting a scene of a conversation that the Lebanese dream of taking place between him and his country. Nimri concluded her speech by wishing and hoping that Lebanon would return to the days of glory that befits it, and to which its children are accustomed, in addition to the disappearance of the crisis that struck Lebanon a long time ago, and the people are tired of it, who have no choice but to wait and remain silent… In order not to prolong his silence, Lillian presented to him “Oh dollar” to bring out what’s inside it for the public.
