There’s something about Dolly Parton that never dims. In a world of ever-changing music trends and fleeting fame, she remains a timeless light. Her 2001 hit “Shine” has found its way back into the spotlight with a refreshed official video upload and fans are absolutely here for it. With over 350,000 views on YouTube since its June 2024 re-release, it’s proof that when Dolly sings, people listen—and they still feel every note.
“Shine,” a cover of the original song by Collective Soul, was a powerful departure when Dolly first released it. She took a 90s grunge-rock anthem and spun it into a bluegrass-tinged, gospel-inspired country track—something only Dolly could do with this much heart and soul. Her voice, crisp and emotional, elevates the song into something both spiritual and empowering. The message? Even in your darkest hour, you’ve still got light to give.

The audience reception? Glowing, to say the least. Longtime fans are revisiting the track with fresh appreciation while new listeners are stunned by Dolly’s ability to make any song her own. One viewer commented “I forgot how powerful this version is. Goosebumps all over again.” Another simply said, “Dolly’s voice is the sound of hope.”
And if you think “Shine” is the only gem from Dolly’s discography to give you chills, think again. Transitioning from the light of “Shine,” we can’t forget her equally heart-tugging hit “Coat of Many Colors”—a song that showcases her storytelling magic at its finest.

That song, too, has earned a legacy of love. Audiences continue to share how it reminds them of childhood, sacrifice and maternal strength. It’s storytelling that makes you cry and smile at the same time.
