Which would kind of make sense. This ISN'T a happy song, which makes it so weird to hear it so upbeat.

Actually that's more accurate then you might think. More often then not, a producer or the "Label" will insist on speeding up a song... they don't want slow ballads... just to make better sales. the most well known example of this is the Beatles Song "Revolution." The version on the "White Album" is how John Paul George and Ringo actually recorded it originally and wanted it to be marketed. But the Genius's at EMI insisted they speed it up and make it a rocker to balance with the slow ballad feel of Hey Jude. (The A part of the Double A Radio Release.) I wish The "Suits" would stop trying to be rock stars and just stick to their number crunching. Let the Artist be an Artist. The other thing about this slowed down version is you really come to appreciate how vocally strong Dolly's voice really is... not a single badly sung note in the whole thing and she did the harmonies as well. It shows off her truly brilliant vocal skills because you hear every note.

Tracey Chapman crushed this song.

To me it demonstrates what incredible pitch, Dolly has. Not one note is flat or 'pitchy'. She doesn't need 'mechanical pitch manipulation', as so many contemporary artists do. Yes, the pitch of her voice is much lower, but her performance is so strong it shows what a great singer Dolly Parton really is. I have to say I was not prepared to 'like' this, but I do.

Do you realize what 'mechanical pitch manipulation' (just say autotune ffs its literally an award winning program ya fuckin hipster) actually does? Its great singers that use it because a 99% perfect take can be made 100% perfect instead of doing twenty+ takes. It's to save the artists money on recording time because literally nobody makes money in music anymore. Back in her day there wasn't much competition, now we have a lot of artists in an ironically smaller market. stop trying to play the 'im enlightened' or whatever card, because I guarantee you that no singer complains about autotune. back in her day it wasnt unheard of to spend a million on a record now most people even big names can only budget a couple thousand 🙄

Fun Fact: Dolly Parton wrote this song after a teller flirted with her husband. She based the looks of “Jolene” after a fan at one of her shows and created this song from the perspective of a woman and her fear of losing the man of her life and the irrational fear one can have. For those who have or had someone they loved you can understand the fear of losing the love of your life.

Sung at this speed, the song has so many more interesting dimensions. Definitely sounds like a masculine voice now, which only adds to the fascinating story the song can tell, something I don't think the original version ever did. I really like this.

Young Dolly Parton was absolutely stunning. What kind of angel was Jolene??

And now at normal speed she sounds like the Chipmunks. Damn. This demonstrates how perfect her phrasing was.

Slowed down this song is viscerally sublime; haunting; surreal; amazingly otherworldly. It takes your mind down the proverbial rabbit hole into the dark, grasps hold and doesn't let go. Once it is over you feel different somehow. Set it on repeat so you can jump back in and stay down deep painting a mentally phantasmagoric canvas within the darkness.

I can't stop listening to this. It's so amazing

This takes a fantastic song and makes it even better!!!!!

that fingerpicking is so on point.. it's almost impossible to do a fast fingerpick groove and then slow it down and it still sound perfect.

Nothing makes a road trip awesome like this on repeat and a bottle of Ambien .

Honestly, after listening to this version with the slower beat, I can never listen to the original Jolene without thinking it's sped up. This RPM just seems like it should be the original, whereas the original sounds like a Nightcore version.

Someone on tiktok sped up Hozier and discovered you get Dolly Parton, then someone slowed down 9to5 and it sounded like Hozier 😂.. This song is not quite it but still similar 🤔

The first "He talks about you in his sleep" the EMOTION portrayed, transcends year yester and future. Dolly, our Fleetwood Mac should it was only Stevie. ❤️

I just watched an interview where Dolly talks about writing this song. That it is a real-life even where a red-haired woman who would hit on her husband while she was on the road. Classy writing, about a woman who tried to steal her husband.

This shit gives your soul the chills. Powerful man

Is that an actual picture of dolly when she was young?! Jeebus she was a friggn supermodel. I love this slowed down version. Its amazing how good her voice is.

Hell yeah! I don’t think I’ve ever seen her as a young woman. This pic here looks like she’s barely 20 and wow she’s a total knockout.

Cassette Walkman She’d be supermodel height for hobbits. Lol

I have only just been shown this today and it is by far a better version. Amazing!

Maybe Dolly hears this sometime and records her voice over the slowed down track. That would be insane! 🔥🔥🔥

I was recently playing a trivia game where you had to guess the name of a song by listening to the first second of the song. Jolene was the last song. I got it immediately because I recognized the guitar riff, because I've listened to the slowed down version a bunch. Nobody else got it.

This song is so forboding at this speed, I can easily imagine this version in the walking dead.

It would have to play while a character had to kill their significant other who was about to/had already turned.

I'm still playing this song. She is gorgeous.

I love both versions. When I was younger and heard the first version for the first time, I cried ...

Really like this song at this speed

Amazing on every level! Dolly is awesome!

"I stayed up all night with Jimi Hendrix at some bird's flat in Berlin. We played WHO 45's at 33rpm because he said they sounded funkier, and you know what? He was right." - Ian Wallace (King Crimson drummer 1971-1972)

Crazy how much I like this at 33 vs 45, It is haunting and the chills are off the chart.

I love Cher's voice in this song

Dolly sounds like Cher when she's slowed down

divinebovine I always thought Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam sounded like Cher...try imagining Cher singing next time you hear "I'm Still Alive"!

🎶💕Hauntingly poignant, this slow-play of Ms. Parton's superb classic. 🎶💕

I can't stop listening to this - it's so haunting and compelling!

Wow! Gives me chills………

Hello there, thanks for watching and commenting on my KZread channel hope you don't stop showing your love and support towards my music ❤️❤️

Pretty amazing. She could re-release all her hits, pseudonym and all.

The theme for the next big HBO series sounds promising

It sounds like Jason Isbell. I’m 100% here for it.
