Here are a couple of lines from "Wine After Whiskey"... Once upon a time our world was on fire and I loved to watch it burn.
Wild & reckless, never any limits, guess I had a lot to learn.
Cause fire to to embers, embers to ashes that blow away too soon.
Now everything after you is like having wine after whiskey.
It went from do anything for you babe to you don't even miss me.
Once you tasted a love that strong you can't go back and you can't settle on anything else.
And that's what gets me it's like having wine after whiskey. I kinda doubt it made the cut being that it was written for Play On. But, the lyrics are among Carrie's best. So I certainly wouldn't be against it. Anyone else think that these lyrics seem like a prequel to Remind Me? It explains the pleasure she had with him before it took a turn for the worse. The "It went from do anything for you babe to you don't even miss me" line in particular really gave me those pre-RM debut vibes, when we had the leaked verbal chorus before the song itself. Amazing lyrics, nonetheless. It may seem that way but it was written way before "Remind Me". And as far as "Oklahoma Wind" not fitting on "Play On", "Oklahoma Wind" and "Someday When I Stop Loving You" are about the exact same subject matter and both slow, pretty songs. I don't think there was enough room for both of those on the album and I have a feeling that at the start of the album they planned on releasing "Someday When I Stop Loving You" down the road as a single. Then Carrie got engaged and married and it just wouldn't be appropriate timing, a la "Mama's Song" being the fourth single instead of "Someday When I Stop Loving You". Carrie's in Texas, probably for the album photo-shoot: @laurenbick: Texassss. Land of brisket and Carrie Underwood in the airport Hmm, if it is in Texas, maybe that means it will be outdoors? If it was in a studio couldn't they have just come to Nashville? Don't know how that works. |

I have this feeling that this cd is going to be amazing. I don't just mean solid or good, but more like a career-defining moment in her musical development. I don't entirely know why I feel that way, but I am looking forward to see what she has to offer with this release.

I really enjoy this part of the album release time. These little bits of information are so much fun. I don't know how so many can make a judgement on which songs they want on the album by the title alone, but it's fun reading the different opinions. There have been some titles that made want to hear the song for sure. Yup. Definitely my favorite time before an album release. The surprising info that leaks is great! |

I haven't posted here in quite a while, but I thought I would chime in now that we're getting some new information. HOLY CRAP at those Wine After Whiskey lyrics! That song better be on the new album, and if the melody is any indication of the lyrics, it probably should be a single.
I'm not so sure about Good Girl. I'm hoping that if it's indeed on the album and it's indeed the lead single that the the title isn't indicative of the lyrics. Hopefully not. I don't want another Undo It or Mama's Song as far as lyrics are concerned.
I'm not going to hold out hope for Oklahoma Wind being on the album, but it still would be really nice. I still stand by the opinion that it beats Someday When I Stop Loving You, which is also incredible. I won't be disappointed though because I'm not expecting it.
Those Wine After Whiskey lyrics do have me pumped up for this album now. After reading everything Carrie and others have been saying about it, I'm extremely excited. After everything that has happened to me last year, I feel like it's literally been forever since there's been new Carrie music aside from Remind Me. And, we should be having more information really, really soon. YES!

Better late than never:
On Good Girl: If this song is meant to be ironic and tongue-in-cheek, then I'm all for it. From the way Carrie keeps dropping it in the blog (she puts a winky emoticon and uses it almost sarcastically), I think that's exactly the context of the song, and, to me, that would be the best lead single. Carrie, it seems, is trying to reintroduce herself with this record - more edgy, more dark, more folky. Those adjectives don't really describe anything she has recorded in the past. Also, if this the type of song that GG is, I would not at all mind it being the album title. I think the laziest album title is a self-named title. It seems lazy and a bit conceited. The second laziest, however, is a song title doubling as the album title. The only two recent examples of when this is acceptable as Taylor Swift's Speak Now and Drake's Take Care. SN was able to double as a statement to her contractors and made me think of Taylor herself provoking her doubters and proving them wrong. TC, the song, is the most general song about love lost and uses so many different musical stylings, that it serves as a blanket cover for what is to come on Drake's CD. GG would fit in more with the former since it would be Carrie's way of introducing to us this persona who, contrary to popular belief, maybe isn't that stereotypical "good girl."
On Wine After Whiskey: Beautiful, stunning, amazing, etc. However, the song structure is either really elaborate or a bit awkward because some verses run a lot longer than the previous ones. Either way, I hope this makes the album.
Ok, I'm stoked and will be back to mass posting. LET THE FUN BEGIN!

I didn't have my iPhone adapter yesterday, so I was forced to bring a CD for my trip. I picked up Carnival Ride on the way out, and it's probably the first time in years that I've listened to the album start to finish. It really is a strong album. I'm quite fond of Crazy Dreams, and I'd like more of that on this record.

Snippet sounds really great. Carrie's voice would bring it to life. Lyrics are great. Although the second verse could probably use some re-working. It looks like they got a little lazy there.
And, for accuracy's sake, Carrie has never said anything about including songs that were written for her previous albums on the upcoming album. That's always a possibility but it's not something Carrie herself has ever promised or even mentioned.

Thanks so much, it sounds like a truly great song with a great title. I hope "Oklahoma Wind" still makes it though, they kind of have a similar vibe. This song sounds like something Leann Womack would sing, which is a good thing. |

Oh, my goodness. That WAW snippet  I can already imagine Carrie's vocals on it, and I'd be more than on board with it being on the album. Not only that, but could you imagine how amazing a fully-pianistic version of the song would be on tour? |

Carrie dragged someone for posting a direct link to DL "Oklahoma Wind" over at the FC message board. I didn't get a chance to see the post myself, it's since been deleted, but apparently she was pretty upset about the whole thing. She basically said that the leaking of OW has prevented it from making any of her future albums and she wishes ppl would stop spreading the link around b/c it's cutting the co-writers short from the profit they deserve.
Somebody also posted the clip of "Wine After Whiskey" and its lyrics over at the FC. Carrie hasn't addressed that one but I really don't get how anyone would think that's a good idea.

I thought that was Carrie's voice in the demo.  #badfan In my defense, I'm sick and can barely function. |

Uhm, if WAW song gets the axe because somebody leaked it, then I'll be infuriated. |

I don't think "Wine After Whiskey" was even being considered for the upcoming album. But...I still don't get why anyone would think it's a good idea to put it out there for Carrie to see.

I don't know how true it is that leaking the song prevents it from making any future albums. She may have just been saying that to scare people so they don't spread the link around.

Is there a studio version of Oklahoma Wind available to hear? The only thing I've heard is an acoustic version where the quality is very poor

On one hand I can understand why Carrie would be upset, but why would leaking songs prevent them from making an album? The OW demo only got around to diehard fans, so it's not like everybody has heard it. And the writers aren't losing any money by having their songs leak on Youtube; this is the technological age, and stuff like this is bound to happen, no matter how much Carrie wants it to be prevented. If she wants to writers to get their due for one of her songs maybe she should release on an album instead of blaming the fans for getting their hands on something they enjoy listening to. I don't agree with Carrie's stance on this at all. |

^^ The OW demo was floating around long enough to get to just more than die hard fans.

Solution: put OW on the album to give the writers the credit and money they deserve.

Yeah, I think she overreacted. That said, it probably isn't the best idea to post leaks of unreleased songs on her own site for her to see.

I'm not sure what Carrie said to the fan on the message boards, but I remember when the Cowboy Casanova video leaked accidentally on CMT's website, a fan posted a link to the video on the OFC. Then I think Carrie blogged saying she was kind of upset that it leaked early. The fan then made a thread apologizing to Carrie, and she replied, telling him/her it was ok and not their fault, but rather the fault of the person who 'hacked' the CMT website to get the video. So why would she flip out on a fan now for doing the same thing?

I don't agree with Carrie's stance on this at all. I don't agree w/ this logic, at all. You make it seem as if it's Carrie's job to clean up the mess created by whoever leaked "Oklahoma Wind" to the masses. Who's to say Carrie had any desire to record "Oklahoma Wind" to begin with? |

He was just explaining the OW instance and how she was upset, and how she may be upset over this one, too. |

Yeah, I don't think she was that harsh on the fan. From my understanding, she was more upset about the situation than anything else.
And...just to make it clear: Ppl have been talking about "Oklahoma Wind" over at the FC for ages, it was the download link that triggered Carrie's response.
