“POLLYANNA” BY DYLAN ROCKWELL IS CONTAGIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC
In a world full of pessimists, pollyannas tend to question the status flow without really trying. Dylan Rockwell has effortlessly captured this social phenomenon in his newest single, “Pollyanna.” Though low and slow, “Pollyanna” is contagiously optimistic, even for those who have difficulty seeing things on the bright side.
Gorgeously melodic, “Pollyanna” makes no promises it cannot keep. Instead, it encourages listeners to take a new perspective, following those happy-go-lucky folks who seem to have everything together. You never really know what someone else may be going through, but this song insists that hope exists.
As the lyrics say, “You try to hide it so well, but I know there’s a couple scars.”
The repeated use of “try” is a perfectly fitting motif for the song’s overall meaning. That’s the best any of us can do, after all! Dylan Rockwell may be among the more level-headed, but with lyrics and melodies like these, he may be a “pollyanna” someday.
