its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
If I should stay
Well I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, please don't cry
'Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need
But I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you
I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
Well I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, please don't cry
'Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need
But I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you
I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Dolly parton wrote the song for Porter Wagoner to tell him that it was time for her to leave the Porter Wagoner show.
I don't know about those albums you mention, but my guess would be that they were recorded before this one and only released later. This song was on the album Jolene, which was her first solo after officially leaving Porter's show, so I think it's still likely addressed to him.
And I agree, this is easily better than all subsequent versions.
beautifull. about loving someone but having to let them go because you know your not their "one" and still wishing them the best.
Am I the only person who gets oh so annoyed when people claim Whitney wrote this song?
This is written from the point of view of someone who's capable of genuine love. She realizes that she is not the best fit for her lover, and makes a sacrifice for his happiness. This kind of transcendental love is very rare.
Dude its a lot more than that and ish a beautiful song
This song reminds me of myself..not tht i love myself..lol..no no! but the first few lines ..."if i should stay..I wood only be in your way.." it reminds me of the time i wood cut and harm myself..and those thoughts wood come into my head..'i'm only in ppl's way..they don't want me'
This is probably Dolly's best song ever.
The story I'd heard is that she wrote it as a farewell to Porter Wagoner, but when I tried to verify that information, I found that "I Will Always Love You" was released in February, 1974, while Porter and Dolly released an album in August, 1974, and another in August, 1975. So, I doubt that Dolly addressed the song to Porter since it was released just before the pinnacle of their joint career.
One thing is for sure: Dolly Parton's rendition of "I Will Always Love You" is the best there has ever been.
Serious song, way better version than the more popular one. Dolly Parton is very talented
I will love you my whole life. I know I"m not the one for you but I hope the best for you. Dont be sad cause I love you. I know you deserve better than me. BUt no matter what I will always be there for you. I'll love you my whole life, Emily. You and no other.
