\n\tFor those missing Dolly Parton<\/a> (and there are many), the country great\u2019s final recording may feel like a revelation. <\/p>\n \n\tOn Friday, U2 released their 16th studio album,\u00a0Carnaval de Luz<\/em>, which saves the best for last: \u201cTorn,\u201d a duet between frontman Bono and Parton. The singer, who\u00a0died<\/a>\u00a0in August at age 80, recorded her part in June, and shares writing credits for the song with the band and Snow Patrol\u2019s Johnny McDaid.\u00a0\u201dWhen she got ill,\u201d Bono told\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0<\/em>for their September cover story<\/a>, \u201cshe got out of her bed to sing this song. And you can hear that. And I can\u2019t even listen to it now.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe song opens with faint voices the the background over a steady heartbeat and soon, Parton\u2019s distinct vibrato fills every lyric. At first, a story about someone deciding between over two lovers appears to be unfolding, until the chorus with Bono reveals a broader division: \u201cTorn apart these loving hearts that beat and break the same\/We share a house divided and the blood that fills our veins.\u201d<\/p>\n \n
