How and why Dolly Parton planned a song release for 2045
Содержание
Each person relates to his or her work in their own way - individual and ambiguous. Some people adore their work, others simply hate it, and others flutter between these two feelings throughout the day on emotional swings... In any case, no one can imagine themselves in their "current position" for eternity. And musicians are no exception. No matter how influential, successful and famous they are, sooner or later they will will leave the stage - either through sheer exhaustion, or a decline in fame, or, logically, age. And the beauty Dolly Parton took care of it in advance.
Despite turning 76 in 2022, one particularly prominent American, Dolly Parton continues to be a source of creativity and inspiration for her fans and followers. She's still immersed headfirst in her work, and she has enough projects to keep her from getting bored at her leisure. For example - a kind of musical time capsule, one intriguing song the singer plans to release. in 2045! And here's the incredible story of this surefire future hit....
Dolly Parton's musical time capsule.
If anyone has ever defined such a high-profile term as. "industry veteran"then it's definitely Dolly Parton. In September 2022, according to her official website, she released "Diamonds and Rhinestones: A Greatest Hits Compilation.". This very special album has been described as "a retrospective of an entire career, showcasing important recordings from 1971 to 2020". The very fact that this album includes nearly 50 years of classics such as "Jolene", "Coat of Many Colors" and the relatively "fresh" uplifting "When Life Is Good Again" proves that Dolly is an absolutely deserving idol. She has always been, and continues to be, one of the favourite country stars of millions of listeners from all over the world... Amazing.
Parton still has a lot of work to do. And it's not just about music. In November 2022, she told reporters:
"As for getting back into film, I'm going to star in a film called Run, Rose, Run, based on a novel I wrote with James Patterson. I think it should be a bestseller!"
Dolly - as an artiste she certainly has incredible strength, charisma and stamina. The music that means so much to her doesn't seem to be going anywhere either. And even when the star herself will no longer be with us (which, unfortunately, will happen one day, because we are not all eternal). Dollywood's DreamMore - a prestigious American resort, which is now home to a very special time capsule: an unknown song that Parton created and hid so it could see the light of day again after 30 years!
How did the idea come about
Parton, always keen to find new ways to surprise and delight her legions of fans, explained what she did in more detail in her book "Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics.". According to this book, a Parton insider suggested this intriguing marketing move, and Dolly was all in favour.
"I wrote this song, and I can't tell you what it is," she writes in the book, stating that after writing and recording, the song was locked away in a kind of box made of a beautiful chestnut tree at the resort Dollywood's DreamMore. By the way: the capsule was laid with the participation of the singer's favourite uncle, Billa. It's appropriate, considering how important music has always been to Bill.....
"My Uncle Bill was one of my mum's younger brothers. He always loved music and loved to play," the country star emphasises in his book.
How special it was for him to be a part of it... We're sure his feelings are hard to put into words. As for the enigmatic and henceforth most anticipated song, in the interest of the future, it was recorded in 2015 on the compact discand the CD player is right there in the secret vault... Dolly took care of everything.
In conclusion
Alas, nothing more is known about the secret song. That's the intrigue, though. Will Parton herself still be with us in the year 2045 to hear herself on record again from 30 years ago? About this, the singer said the following:
"I don't know if I want to live to be 100 years old or not ... if I do, I'll be at the opening."
As we think it's a great idea, and perhaps very soon many legendary stars will take it up (which would be great).
