While <strong>heartbroken fans are mourning her death<\/strong>, they can still look forward to hearing new music from the Queen of Country, as Parton has left them a surprise: a secret song.<\/p>\n<p>Years before her death, she recorded a track titled \u2018My Place in History\u2019, and then sealed it inside a \u201cDream Box\u201d in 2015, at Dollywood\u2019s DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>She left a simple instruction: the chestnut box should remain locked until 2045 \u2013 19 January 2045, to be precise. Parton even reportedly included a CD player inside the time-capsule, as well as instructions as to how to play the CD in case the format had become obsolete for the grand opening.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dollywood, the mystery song was written specifically for the future and shares Parton\u2019s \u201chopes and dreams\u201d for what lies ahead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve written a song that nobody&#8217;s going to hear until I&#8217;m 99 years old,&#8221; Parton said on <strong>The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2021<\/strong>, adding that she hoped to be alive for the music unveiling. &#8220;I might be there, I might not be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Parton told <strong>The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon<\/strong> that she was finding hard to leave the song alone because she thought it was a sure-fire hit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have regretted that, because it was a really good song,&#8221; Parton said about the track. &#8220;I&#8217;m serious. I keep wanting them to let me dig it up and replace it with something else that is not as good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Still, she told the audience that they will be in for a treat in 2045. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If any of you are still around when they open that box, I hope you enjoy my song.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/58\/72\/808x454_cmsv2_e13603f0-d137-5961-9fb1-16d479fb492a-9895872.jpg\" alt=\"Fans pay tribute to Dolly\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Fans pay tribute to Dolly<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">The wit and wisdom of Dolly Parton: &#8216;If you see somebody without a smile, give &#8217;em yours!&#8217;<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Tennessee governor backs plans to name Nashville airport after Dolly Parton <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Parton\u2019s family announced that the beloved singer had been laid to rest <strong>after a private funeral on 28 August<\/strong>.

data-key=\"articleBody\">Dolly Parton may have taken her final bow, but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0get an encore&#8230; We just have to wait 20\u00a0years.The legend has left an indelible mark on the world thanks to her music, her acting and her philanthropic work. While heartbroken fans are mourning her death, they can still look forward to hearing new music from the Queen of Country, as Parton has left them a surprise: a secret song.Years before her death, she\u00a0recorded a track titled \u2018My Place in History\u2019, and then sealed it inside a \u201cDream Box\u201d in 2015, at Dollywood\u2019s DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.She\u00a0left a simple instruction: the chestnut box should remain locked until 2045 \u2013 19 January 2045, to be precise.\u00a0Parton even reportedly included a CD player inside the time-capsule, as well as instructions as to how to play the CD in case the format had become obsolete for the grand opening.According to Dollywood, the mystery song was written specifically for the future and shares Parton\u2019s \u201chopes and dreams\u201d for what lies ahead.&#8221;I&#8217;ve written a song that nobody&#8217;s going to hear until I&#8217;m 99 years old,&#8221; Parton said on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2021,\u00a0adding that she hoped to be alive for the music unveiling. &#8220;I might be there, I might not be.&#8221;In 2023, Parton told The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that she was finding hard to leave the song alone because she thought it was a sure-fire hit.&#8221;I have regretted that, because it was a really good song,&#8221; Parton said about the track. &#8220;I&#8217;m serious. I keep wanting them to let me dig it up and replace it with something else that is not as good.&#8221;Still, she told the audience that they will be in for a treat in 2045.\u00a0&#8220;If any of you are still around when they open that box, I hope you enjoy my song.&#8221;Parton\u2019s family announced that the beloved singer had been laid to rest after a private funeral on 28 August. The service was held at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville. She was buried next to Carl Dean, her husband of 60 years,\u00a0who died in March 2025.\u00a0Dolly\u2019s niece, Lainey Parton, shared a touching tribute to her aunt and confirmed the news.\u201cI wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words,\u201d Lainey wrote. \u201cFrom the time I was little, my granny always had a way of making me feel like I was enough. She never made my dreams feel too big or made me feel like I couldn\u2019t do something. She believed in me before I even knew how to believe in myself.\u201d\u00a0She added: \u201cMost people can think of at least one bad memory with everyone in their family. I honestly can\u2019t think of one with her.\u201d\u00a0Dolly had made it clear before her death that she wanted a \u201csmall, private service\u201d for immediate family, and also stipulated that the country-gospel song \u2018If We Never Meet Again\u2019 should be played at her funeral.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/culture\/2026\/08\/31\/dolly-parton-has-left-fans-a-secret-song-but-its-locked-away-and-buried-until-2045&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/58\/72\/1200x675_cmsv2_0258a57c-e025-51ed-bb9f-11aab6790d7b-9895872.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Tributes pour in for former French PM Balladur following his death Culture news Naomi Watts to receive Donostia Award at 2026 San Sebastian Film Festival Europe News France begins new voluntary national service programme Kyrgyzstan Eurasian nations gather in Bishkek to forge new alliances Europe News Tributes pour in for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2120887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2120887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2120887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2120887\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2120887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2120887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2120887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
