Oil and Water

My brave, beautiful, brilliant, talented youngest daughter sings and brings tears again to her father’s eyes. Lillian sang this in the Atlanta Musical Theatre Festival in 2019.

From the notes on the musical Closing Doors:

"Oil and Water" was written as a product of Ali Ramsaier leaving an abusive relationship. A year after she left and two and half year relationship, she spent time traveling and pursuing music. In that year, she wrote a book reflecting on her experience in a domestic violence relationship, but also got so emotional that she wrote songs to release the pain. 60 songs later and two years, a musical was born: "Closing Doors." "Closing Doors" was selected at the Atlanta Musical Theatre Festival in 2019.

Here is one of the many songs from the show.

"If I stay, I"ll never grow."
