Hello Vibes community, Once again, this is Vickoly, and today in my entry for the Vibes Web 3 Music Competition Week 8, I'll be presenting one of the most popular songs of world-famous Dolly Parton, titled Coat of Many Colors. This is a song she composed in 1969, and during one of her interviews, I recall hearing her describe the song as a typical story of her life and experiences while growing up.
The song is one of love, humility, perspective, and how we shouldn't let our present state determine our actions or how we see life. Who would have thought that a young girl from such a poor background would rise up to stardom and become what she's today? I'm inspired by her life. Well, that's about it. I'd love to appreciate lordbutterfly for such a mind-blowing initial that fosters the growth of music and talent discovery in the Web 3 space.
Here is a lyric of the song,Coat of Many Colours.
Back through the years I go wanderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
But every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From The Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
"Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness"
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
Oh, I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
And holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
And my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
