I’m a huge fan of Dolly Parton. Her music soothes me, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry. I could listen to her all day and again tomorrow.
I discovered Dolly when I was in high school and just fell for her. When I’m feeling down I listen to her and it makes me feel better. “Heartbreaker” makes me cry(no boy has ever broken my heart but I cry good, fat tears). “Jolene” makes me whip out my imaginary microphone and tell that Jolene what’s what complete with dance moves and glares. “From here to the moon and back” gives me a song to dedicate to the other half I haven’t met yet. Her rendition of “I will always love you” is for the lover I never had but had to leave. “Just because I’m a woman” helps me be a little more kind to myself even when I’ve messed up big. I’m not perfect but I never claimed to be, it tells me. Eagle when she flies, is the one that pulls me out of a pit of despair. It acknowledges that I can be broken but gives me hope that I too can soar as high as the eagle does.
I can dance the pain away with Dolly. I can weep my heart out. I can find strength in her words when I have none of my own. I can just be. That, to me, is the power of her music.
She’s amazing. I love her voice.
And I admire her not only as an artist. She’s that kind of person you feel is good at heart and warm and nice. Oh, I love her.
I don’t like country and western music. Part of that is a youth being subjected to the worst and weirdest country/western music by my grandmother and then my father. But even though her music isn’t for me, I think she’s an AMAZING woman. I admire the hell out of her, her talent, and everything she’s achieved. She’s a truly inspirational person.
