Dolly Parton Releases “When Life Is Good Again”

Dolly Parton has been quite active since the coronavirus has put the whole world in quarantine: she's reading books to kids, donating money to COVID-19 relief and writing songs.

Parton's new song, which she just released, is inspired by the pandemic and it's called "When Life Is Good Again."

The song premiered this week on Entertainment Weekly. The song was written to address the challenges people are facing during coronavirus stay-at-home measures. The tune is a tale of all the ways we can become better people after this period of challenge and reflection. It promises that though we'll be forever changed, everything will one day be alright.

On April 2, she launched a 10-week web series called "Goodnight With Dolly" where she reads books to children. It's an extension of her Imagination Library book gifting program, which has donated over 130 million books.

Parton also donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University in support of coronavirus research. She said at the time, "My longtime friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who’s been involved in research at Vanderbilt for many years, informed me that they were making some exciting advancements towards research of the coronavirus for a cure," the country music legend wrote on Twitter. "I am making a donation of $1 million to Vanderbilt towards that research and to encourage people that can afford it to make donations."
