Among the songs from her newest album which was released last month, the famous Lebanese artist Elissa had included a song which called “Min Ghair Munasbah” (Without An Occasion).
The song deserves to be focused on and needs to be put in the spotlight because of the unique topic it holds. In the new song “Min Ghair Munasbah” Elissa discusses a very important issue which no other artist has touched upon before, especially in the same straightforward manner.
The main message of the new song is about women refusing to be physically abused by men. The song talks about how a woman should never give in to any type of violence by her husband or her lover. Elissa calls out to the abused women to stand with dignity and have pride in saying no to the abuse.
According to the London daily Elaph, The new song “Min Ghair Munasbah” is written by Nader Abdullah and composed by Waleed Saed. The lyrics of the song talk about how a husband who had abused his wife tries to bring her back after she left him, because she can’t put up with the abuse.
He tries to sweet talk her into believing that he had changed. In the song Elissa tries to show an image of a strong woman who won’t put up with the abuse and lies that her husband has given her. The lyrics also describe how a woman who gives in to her husband’s lies usually damages her pride and is subject to be hurt many hundreds of times. The uniqueness of the song is that it was written by a male poet and he was discreet with his descriptions.
In her new album Elissa includes 13 different songs which vary between Egyptian and Lebanese dialects. Elissa includes three songs that were written and composed by the Lebanese musician Marwan Khoury. She also includes other songs for famous poets and composers.
