This weeks song is "Here You Come Again," by Dolly Parton
Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil were really on to something, composing a song so catchy and beautiful. The combination of instruments puts the listener in a trance, making them want to sway and get lost in the rhythm. Right from the start, the song gives off an upbeat tune that makes you feel so hopeful. If I was going to put this song's vibe into words, I think the lyrics do the best job. "Here you come again, Just when I'm about to make it work without you, You look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies, And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you," when I heard these lyrics with the tune, it just makes sense. The hopeful and upbeat rhythm is just like how a relationship begins to feel, full of hope and optimism overlooking their faults and seeing the best they have to offer. This song does a great job of relating almost everyone's experience with past relationships that didn't work out. Just when you begin to collect yourself and move on, they show up tearing down all that progress you've made along with your defenses. It amazes me how songs like this one can express universal feelings in such a unique way.

This truly is a great song! It really just goes to show how iconic Dolly Parton is and always has been. The instrumentals and vocals compliment each other so well, and the tune is just so catchy. You did a great job of putting into words not only what this song sounds like, but how it makes a person feel.
