Dolly Parton just offered a heartwarming message for those frustrated by being forced to stay home, and away from live music in Nashville, during the coronavirus pandemic. The 74-year-old spoke out in a video, while scenes from the city flashed on the screen, and Tim McGraw‘s “Humble and Kind” played in the background.

“Great songs come from experience,’ Dolly stated. “From inspiration. Things Music City has always had in spades. But with the live music now paused, it’s hard to hear much of anything these days, besides the sound of silence at our empty honky tonks. But Nashville’s a city that always believed in miracles. A city that rises up when we’re underwater. And never gets knocked down, even when we’re awfully winded. No matter what calamity may come, we always turn our struggles into stories, our stories into songs, ones that people sing all over the world. Now, this has never been a nine to five type of town.

“Our passion tends to keep us up all hours, running down dreams while others chase sleep at night,” she continued. “But we’re all ready to wake up from this, and get to work on writing our greatest hit yet. There’s gonna be heartbreak, but there’s hope too, and faith. Yeah, truth is, it’s gonna take a lot more than three chords. But that’s a start. Let’s add a chorus a million strong. A chorus that believes in one simple thing: each other.”

Tim shared the video on social media, saying, “The live music scene is quiet for now. But we’ll be back on stage soon. How could we not?! We’ve got a chorus a million strong, believing in one simple thing: each other.”

Dolly has been vocal in her support of those struggling because of life during COVID-19. She recently released a song, “When Life Is Good Again,” as well as offered a message of hope to seniors graduating in Sevier County, Tennessee, where she was born and raised.

Dolly just announced she will release a new book, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, in November. It is currently available for pre-order here.
