Jolene ...
Jolene is a song. It is not a poem. It is a song, a song of begging, a song of a cry, a song of a reason. Dolly Parton created Jolene in 1973 remembering a beautiful woman who used to flirt with her husband. It is a song coming from the heart, she knows that Jolene is really beautiful and she can't beat her in the beauty, but she's still trying to tell her that Jolene can get any other man she wants but this is the man who singer loved and she can't leave her love. Such simple wordings and simple tune but Dolly's voice and may be this rawness is the appeal of this song. Coming from the Country music style, this song still works for pop enthusiasts too. And the song is such popular still that in 2016 Pentatonix a cappella group performed it with Dally herself. I came across Jolene from the series The Blacklist where they used the slowed-down version of Jolene and since then this song is stuck in my head.
