The country music superstar Dolly Parton is well known for her wisdom and caring nature, especially when it comes to her fans. In view of the current rough times we're living in, the buxom blonde with the heart of gold has just released a new uplifting song called 'When Life Is Good Again' in order to cheer her fans up as they weather this unprecedented coronavirus lockdown. The song's message is one of hope and optimism and was written by Parton while she was self-isolating during the Covid-19 quarantine.
On May 27, Dolly Parton released her new song with an exclusive premiere on People, and also tweeted about it to her fans on social media. Dolly posted on Wednesday - "Life WILL be good again Sneak peek of #WhenLifeIsGoodAgain on @people!" The new song features the eight-time Grammy award winner issuing some words of wisdom and comfort to her listeners, and looks forward to the silver-lined future when things will soon get back to normal. The 'I Will Always Love You' singer also vowed to not take the present moment for granted in the life-affirming lyrics of the song, which also talks about how we can endure this grueling period of challenges with good faith, emerging out the other side as better people because of it.
The lyrics, which are sprinkled over a simple acoustic guitar and evocative synth arrangement, talk about "When life is good again / I'll be a better friend / A bigger person / More thoughtful than I've been / I'll be so different then / More in the moment when / Life is good again." The 74-year-old singer also perfectly summed up the thoughts of the nation when she declared, "We've been brought to our knees / We've been so ill-at-ease / There are no guarantees / But you know life goes on." She also went on to say, "This too shall pass away / Bring new and different days / We need to change our ways / And right our wrongs."
Her fans were also enthusiastically applauding the message of the song and saying, "Such a beautiful song from a beautiful soul! Dolly is such a blessing." Another listener agreed, saying, "Thank you Dolly for teaching and sharing empathy throughout all your years".
An ardent admirer summed up our gratitude for Parton's efforts by posting "You are amazing and the most prolific songwriter in any time. You continue to create the most amazing masterpieces after 52 years as a professional in show business not to mention that you were only four or five when you wrote your first composition!
