Dolly Parton Has Just Released The Music Video For 'The Sacrifice'

Dolly Parton has just released the music video for The Sacrifice, a song telling her life story of how she encountered obstacles and overcame them to achieve the superstardom she enjoys today. Like some country music songs, this track is another simple tune narrating a story. But then it's what one would expect from the Queen of Country Music.

She describes the difficulties she's had - how she has toiled hard to get where she is now. She sings, "Through blood sweat and tears I have built a good life/ But it didn’t come without sacrifice".

It is good to see and hear a world-famous celebrity being honest about her life. Many people think that the road to success has been an easy ride, but Dolly has spelled it out clearly and simply that she has struggled, and she has made many a sacrifice.

The song has a catchy tune about it, just the sort of ditty to have in the car when driving on a long trip.

The music video mainly shows Dolly Parton performing on stage with her band and backup singers. Little clips are shown throughout of her life as a young singer, times travelling on the road, and times with friends. She describes how all along the way she always kept her "eye on the prize". The song finishes with an interesting thought about how she sometimes reflects on her life, wondering if it was really worth it, "But sometimes I wonder in the still of the night/ Is it really worth the sacrifice".

She sings that she has always followed her Christian beliefs. The song ends with her singing - with an honest reflection - that she has "made the sacrifice".
