'God Only Knows' is an award-wining song by the Christian pop band For King & Country. Their remix of it with the legendary country singer and songwriter Dolly Parton has been applauded by many.
The trio performs the song as singing angels overlooking a dark past of the roles they are playing. Joel Smallbone's character is an addict. Dolly Parton plays a troubled prostitute while Luke Smallbone's character lays on a hospital bed.
The three are separated in their dark worlds but united by the exact cause. Each of them sings along that God is the only one that knows what they are going through.
In the end, all the characters decide to start over together. This sentiment culminates in the three singers emerging from the boxes of their alternate realities. They walk side by side, singing together.
The last part of the song is left entirely for Dolly Parton as she sings about the kind of love that 'God Only Knows.' The performance ends with Dolly alone on stage as the golden light dims into darkness.
The passionate performance of the three singers has been viewed over ten million times on the internet. Dolly Parton has commented that she is thankful for being part of the project as it speaks to many who are having a hard time.
Viewers have felt the calling of posting about their battles, indicating that the song 'God Only Knows' has helped them overcome dark times. It is beautiful to see how one piece of music can unite so many.
