My dad used to play this in our car all the time. Every time, it made me so thankful to have a great dad. I hadn’t heard it since then, and it’s been a few years since he died, but I am still so thankful for the 13 years that he was an amazing dad to me. Nostalgia’s a powerful thing.
I'm from Oklahoma, I've experienced many tornadoes, and I had a rough childhood with my physically abusive brother and my neglectfully/emotionally abusive mother.. so you best believe I was crying and singing this at the top of my lungs when I was 10 years old
I'm 54 years old, an abuse survivor. My biological father was an abusive s.o.b I still have nightmares. The first time I heard this song I began hyperventilating and sobbing, because it brought back so many things I tried to forget, things I didn't want to deal with. I'm just now beginning to deal with the trauma of my abuse. Anyone, ANYONE, who is or has been in this situation and reading this please get help. Don't wait until my age to deal with it.
@@DarkSafire I really appreciate your comment. I'm 18 now and I'm struggling to get my life started because of how much my depression and anxiety is setting me back. I'm currently having a lot of trouble gathering the courage to even ask to see a therapist, especially because money is tight right now with COVID. I'm really stuck and I don't know what to do but I'm trying my best to get through each day and your comment has made me feel less alone 💜 thank you
As a survivor of child abuse of every type imaginable, this really speaks to me. Sometimes you have to just walk away from family. It's not about love. It's about preserving your own peace.
@hankhardon3517 I have no idea what that means, but looking at your username gives me some clues. So no, no crying here. No victim here. Just a survivor of some tough things no child should have to go through. Peace to you.
It is really sad. That is actually how Madonna grew up. Her mother died when she was around 5 years old. She had two older brothers who seem like jerks and she was the oldest girl. And she is named after her mother so then her Mom dies, it must have been tough for her Dad to have this daughter with her mother’s name. I think eventually her Dad remarried but I don’t think Madonna likes her stepmother that much. Anyways, enough about Madonna. My Dad isn’t an alcoholic but he’s very verbally abusive and I’m sick of him. My Mom is in the hospital right now for some surgery she had to have done. I think both my Mom and I have had it with him. But she won’t leave him. I’m tired of all their drama, I need to get away from all of it.
despite everything he's done and all of the pain he's caused her, in a moment of merciful human compassion, she tries to save him, not because he deserves it, but because it's a reflection of her character. But he's still passed out, not responding, and the storm is almost right on top of them. Yet she realizes if she tries any longer to save him, she too would have been swept away. Thus, at that moment she realizes she has to totally prioritize her life over his. She can't save him because he is beyond saving. In other words, you just have to let the abusers go, or they'll (quite literally, I'm afraid) drag you down with them.

Dang. I haven't had tears fall out my eyes in a long time my good sir..tears welled after the first sentence I read. You are right. No matter she tried to do the right thing. I feel so bad for anybody that has been through this and I'm sorry there are people like that in the world.
Your comment is the best here. I sacrificed years of my life, time, and hard-earned money trying to save my abusive parents and it was no use. I finally started to prioritize my own needs and my life completely changed for the better. As hard and sad as it was to walk away, it was absolutely necessary for my survival. This song resonates with me so much.
I grew up in a church/homeless shelter my Dad was the pastor and for being a church A Lot of ungodliness went on so I can fully understand and relate to this song! Thanks Carrie for doing the songs about abuse and molestation it's a rough topic that saddely is our world 😔.
Sad to say I lost everything I had in a tornado, December 26th in Rowlett Texas. Year-and-a-half later I met my boyfriend who I thought was so incredible . Then, several months later he grabbed my arm in anger & I said ..never do that again, but he did.. second time I thought of this video. I ran away and he promised he would get help, but he didn't. 2 years and body scars later, it escalated to the point he almost suffocated me.😞 Girls be careful. Never let any man ever grab you or hurt you in anger. Walk away the first time it happens! I love you Carrie for this video
As someone who spent 7 years in Nashville as a songwriter, this song almost gets me choked up at how well-written it is. The craft is impeccable. The lyrics leave little breadcrumbs to help the listener piece the story together. Such a unique concept for a song. What a masterpiece.
I also really appreciate the music video for "Blown Away" because it was a slight tribute to "The Wizard of Oz." Carrie Underwood had a few easter eggs sprinkled throughout the video as allusions to "The Wizard of Oz." Carrie's dog Penny Jean is a nod to Dorothy's dog Toto. Carrie is wearing a blue plaid shirt and ruby red boots as a nod to the blue plaid dress and ruby slippers worn by Dorothy. For me personally I couldn't bring myself to listen to "Blown Away" after the devastating nonstop tornadoes in Carrie's home state of Oklahoma; particularly after the violent and destructive EF5 tornado that devastated Moore, Oklahoma on May 20th, 2013 wherein seven of the twenty-four fatalities were children who were killed at Plaza Towers Elementary School. When I learned that seven innocent children lost their lives at Plaza Towers; I couldn't keep myself from crying. This was the second time in my life that I have cried over the loss of young children; the first time was when I heard that twenty children were murdered by a deranged madman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14th, 2012. If there's a silver lining to the tornado that hit Moore on May 20th; it's that the residents of Moore adopted a mentality of "Never again!" after the tornado and learning about the seven deaths at Plaza Towers. This galvanized the city council of Moore into voting unanimously in favor of tougher building codes that require a lot of safety features that can better ensure the safety of the residents of Moore and prevent future loss of life. These building codes require all new structures to be bolted to the foundations, less space between the bolts, reinforced garage doors, stronger windows, consistent plywood reinforcement of walls, hurricane clips to hold down roofs, and above ground storm shelters. In addition; all of the schools in Moore now have storm shelters because after the tornado that hit Moore on May 3rd, 1999 only two of the schools in the city had storm shelters: Kelley Elementary School and Westmoore High School. This was due to the fact that both of these particular schools took a direct hit by the May 3rd tornado. The residents of Moore never imagined a storm as strong or as violent as the one on May 3rd, 1999 could ever strike their city again. Unfortunately, the storm on May 20th, 2013 proved them wrong. I personally admire the strength and resilience of the people of Oklahoma because they know how to get back on their feet after a disaster, pick up the pieces of their lives, and rebuild their communities. This particular phenomenon is known as the Oklahoma Standard. You put yourself last and everyone before you comes first.
@@michaellovely6601 that's so true those Storms we're dealing and Scarry for sure when we're I know that there warnings out on Television and on the cell phones I know okay will this is what this Storms we're like but I know we're I live never go hit very hard with. Tornado we got hit with on a couple of times we had a rain storm on time but we got up to tornado winds that we had a tree lifted right out of the ground Roots and all and the thunder was bad and tell you it was bad when the thunder touched down the whole house shaked and you could she just the windows just rocking and could see the trees moving back and forth side to side it was scary especially just being 9 or 10 years old And they don't teach about them till a certain grade so none of use kids know what to do if a tornado touch down or even how to act appon it
I completely agree with this comment. Each of us who are survivors takes this song and it literally breaks down our own memories. Gives me chills...of freedom!!
This needs to be the official video for we survivors of abuse!! The power and strength of this song touches the soul. Those who haven’t been through our hell won’t understand but this song speaks volumes.
My dad might as well been like that. When I told him what his manager employee did to me putting me through sexual hell, he said, it was just all in my head. But he deceived my mom crying like a baby about it. She told me about it the next day. I guess It was shock that kept me from telling her what difference he told me. But he managed to teach me, that guy used alcohol to get his girls in the sack with him which was the trick that manager used on me. I was ten.
As a strictly metal and rap fan who never listens to country this is for real my favorite song of all time even my wife makes fun of my love for this song. The drums mixed with Carries power and conviction is so addicting I will literally hit replay over and over...There's not enough wind in Oklahoma...
As a former victim of sexual/physical abuse of an alcoholic, this song hit me like a ton of bricks. My breath was caught in my throat, the first time I heard it. The second time it was met with tears and anger. Now, its empowering for me. I hope all who've experienced anything similar to what I have, that you find your anthem. Love and light sent to you all! 💜XXXX
I remember watching this over and over with my sister before we knew that we were both being abused ever way by our alcoholic father. We both thought we were alone in it but found strength in this song together, the strength we needed to speak out and put him away! This song sparked something in me that became a roar. I’m so glad it has helped others as well💜
Where in the song made you think that? The guy was drunk in his own house, granted he died bc he couldn't wake up but that doesn't mean he was bad to her? 'Mean old mister' he lost his wife, let his grieve.
I actually bought a molded book that said this very thing to my dad, I think it stunned him, he just nodded and gave me his consent with a slight smile but I knew what it meant. He died 4 ½ years ago and the book is standing in my bookshelf now. Make peace while you can because it's not them that will be there to carry your wounds and upsets when they are gone, it will be you alone as it always have been.
She's my absolute favorite thing/person to come out of American Idol!! I love Carrie Underwood. I don't even like country music, BUT best believe I love her!!
*dad pours whiskey into coffee* Daddy was a mean old mister, Mama was an angel in the ground. There's not enough rain in Oklahoma, to wash the sins out of that house, there's not enough wind in Oklahoma, to rip the nails out of past. THATS DEEP
I was raised by my dad since age 5. He was very abusive. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer December 2013. My sister and I took turns caring for him for 8 months until he died. I never got the closure I Deserved. Even after showing him a level of kindness he didn’t deserve. This song continues to be very healing for me.
I have almost the same story except it was myself and my brother but I took most of it , I was older and she hates me more I guess but now she’s ams old women who has had two strokes . We hare the ones caring for her making her feel safe and cared for . But I’ll meet my maker one day and so will,she . I do think we are better for coping and we can weather the worst storms in life because we had to learn . Some people like my children who never got smacked or In my case punched and beat on and they can’t cope with the smallest of things because they were always protected from adversity . We are like stone walls it take ALOT to knock us down. God bless . The right thing is always the way to go .
Your closure is his passing. Closure isn't necessarily about speaking your mind or trying to remedy a situation or even saying goodbye. Forgive him if you can. Forget the bad times and continue living your best life. My mother was abusive. I walked away from her and doing so healed me. I wish you the best.
Without trying to do that. Carrie showed with this video, the effects on children, when they have parents that drink. People that drink, don't realize it effects everybody around them.
Sophia Holley The writers weren't trying to show it. They were just writing a powerful song and hoping Carrie would grab it. Not realizing the impact it would have. Especially the video. The actor has gotten backlash for it. But that just shows how good of a job he did.
***** Carrie said "Blown Away" was written by two guys. Who, she didn't know at the time, but now she is good friends. They wrote it with her powerful vocals in mind.
***** The way, they do it. Is songwriters send Carrie songs, but they don't put their names on it, so that way, Carrie and her label don't know who wrote it. And when Carrie writes a song, she puts into the pile, then she leaves the room, when they are deciding whether it goes on the album or not. She said that in an interview in Country Weekly in 2008.
I have always expressed how much I disliked country music. But this song has managed to send chills through my body and help change my perspective on the genre.
Carrie Underwood is one of the few country artists that I, an avid rock/pop/kpop listener enjoys. That just goes to show how she appeals to not only country fans, but to people who enjoy all sorts of music.
The fact that Carrie’s character was abused by her alcoholic father and yet she tried desperately to wake him up to save him from the tornado truly says something about her character. Compelling music video
She is by far, one of the best things that came out of American Idol. Seriously, I can't believe, that is where she got her stardom, from every time I see her
That is why I am glad I put one of the best by far. Kelly, Fantansia, and Jennifer Hudson is definitely in that category as well. It is so shocking to me that they came from American Idol that I forget sometimes.
Me and my little sister love singing this song together because we know all the words, our mom showed us this song, and because it has a good meaning. Thank you Carrie Underwood! 🥰
+ George Austin Tay You said you visited America in the summer of 13' and you have an English username so let me guess you are either English, Australian or Canadian. Am I right with that assumption mate. Or Irish maybe.
tilo dyer well I was all by myself and I stayed at a friend's house. I didn't really visit around much (I was near Albany NY) but I lived like a real American and I was surprised to see how nice everyone was. They literally had me at their house for 10 days and didn't want anything back! The only negative aspect: the food. Whew, I lost 6 lbs while I was there.
As a kid about 8 years old I watched my father slap, punch, push and eventually knock my mother's front teeth out. My mother never fought back. I tried to help but was too small. He was a mean son of a gun. It still haunts me even today at 63 years old. This song somehow helps. Thank you Carrie.
This was me and my aunt's favorite song, and we'd listen to it in the car as we were on our way to her apartment for the weekend. And she recently passed and so it makes me cry everytime I listen to it now. You'll be forever missed aunt Pam 😭🙏❤️
So many families been effected by alcoholism,children specially deeply hurt by it. This video is like a mirror to show how stormy and painful this can be to anyone. Congratulations Carrie Underwood,we are blown away...
when i was younger, i never fully understood the meaning to the song. but now that im 17 and have an alcoholic stepfather, i cry every time i listen to this. he ruined the family my mom tried so hard to create. but this song really does show how much you just wish all of it can go away. i love this song and this is probably one of the only songs ive truly connected to. thank you Carrie
My dad has PTSD from the military. This song was everything to me at one point in my childhood. I belted the lyrics in my room every day. I know he could hear me.
One of the most powerful songs ever made I can't atop listening to it I hope all that had to understand this message by experiencing it are doing well now
You have no idea how many times he was passed out. If he woke up, I got hit. This song speaks volumes. My father passed away from alcoholism in 2011. It's been 10 years. All I can say is, distance if you need too and get on with life as best as you can. I wish no one the life that I had! However, there is light at the end of the tunnel! I can assure you, this too, shall pass. They will get theirs and have to answer for what they have done. Keep your head up!
Every time I hear this song I end up in tears just because of how much unfortunately I can relate to it. But on the flip side, I've seen this video a thousand times before and I just noticed that there's a little puppy at the end of the video. And the puppy is Penny Jean.
I remember my mom showed me this song on our way home telling me that we lost our house, and we had to pack everything and leave in a week. It was the first time I saw her cry in my life.
This song is part of my life. My name is Jaydem Wilson, and I am 14, from Norman Oklahoma. I've been through twisters, I've been through losing family. Carrie is my favorite singer. I love her songs so much. I lost my brother in 2010 from a twister. When ever I think about my brother, and I get upset, I simply go on TH-cam and listen to this song. It seriously cures my pain.
God bless you, I always think I have a hard life being that my dad is in the army and I barely see him,but then I hear stories and think wow I feel bad for these people but I am thankful that I am not them but,I feel bad for you
I remember being a little girl before my mom got us away from my father whose drinking and drug use made him mad and insane .. almost killing my mother infront of me.. and when I first heard this song it was almost a dream of mine to have a hurricane take out that house 🏠 im 30 now and still drive by it. It humbles me to see a new loving family in that house now. Its crazy how a broken home looks so gray and becomes full of color when pure love enters a home
Cheesy, how??? This is an amazing visual video. Brillant as a matter of fact. References the wizard of oz theme and delves into parental alcohol abuse. Kids need this so they don't think something is wrong with them and relate to this huge problem.
helene jennings Sorry, I kind of wrote that sentence poorly. I was referring to me saying I was "Blown away" cheesy, not the music video itself - the video is amazing.
My old man was an alcoholic ex-Marine DI who died drunk when I was in the Army right before the Gulf War. I quit drinking when I got married over 25 years ago to the woman in the next room from me. I'm glad I did. I'm the same age he was when he died and have a retirement income and a wife who still loves me which is more than he had when he died. I get along much better with his ghost now but then we always got along better when we weren't living together,
I like country music (the newer singers are trash though), and I like Carrie not only because of her music, but I appreciate that she actually puts thought into her songs and how she interprets them. Like this song, about how alcoholism can destroy a family, Little Toy Guns is about confronting marital issues, The Bullet is about the struggles of the shootings that happened last year and Carrie's three miscarriages, that's why I love her and her music so much
Why even bother saying “I’m not a fan of” any genre of music. It’s ok to enjoy music from select artists and bands and not care for the whole community of that genre. I’d you are a hip hop fan, for example, do you automatically think all artists are good and all their content? No. Same with anything
As a child of child abuse .... And I mean all all possible ways ... Listening to these songs helped me so much ... Sing away my pain all my hurt ...... I still listen to it up to a day like today
Coming from a metalhead, I just can't get over how great this song and the video is. The lyricism and meaning is fantastic. The video gives you a better visualization of the song's lyrical content. Then there is the sound which over all, the harmonies and melodies of the song along with the set key it is in just sounds great. I always did like Carrie Underwood but she really outdid herself on this track.
Thanks for your love and support . It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans. May God continue to bless you,Kindly send me a direct message 9084428754
Full Lyrics: Dry lightning cracks across the skies Those storm clouds gather in her eyes Her daddy was a mean old mister Mama was an angel in the ground The weather man called for a twister She prayed blow it down There's not enough rain in Oklahoma To wash the sins out of that house There's not enough wind in Oklahoma To rip the nails out of the past Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away 'Til there's nothing left standing Nothing left of yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, blown away, blown away She heard those sirens screaming out Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch She locked herself in the cellar Listened to the screaming of the wind Some people called it taking shelter She called it sweet revenge Shatter every window till it's all blown away Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away 'Til there's nothing left standing Nothing left of yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, blown away There's not enough rain in Oklahoma To wash the sins out of that house There's not enough wind in Oklahoma To rip the nails out of the past (blown away) Shatter every window till it's all blown away Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away) Till there's nothing left standing Nothing left of yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away Blown away, blown away Blown away, blown away Carrie Underwood ❤🔥
Personally, I think that this means (at least the music video) that no matter the storm in your life, God will always come through and bring sunny skies.
This is on my playlist that i haven't touched in a couple if yrs. I heard this randomly while in a Captain D's, of all places. The memories that came flooding back were real. Abuse knows no boundaries.
Everyone is saying how amazing the song is. Yes the song is amazing, but I think it's amazing because of the lyrics. If you really listen to the lyrics and the meaning of the song it gets to you.
I grew up with Carrie Underwood music and was OBSESSED. My mom got more than a few weird looks when her five year old would be belting songs like this and two black Cadillacs lmao. Blown away was my all time favorite song and remains there to this day.
My father is a cheater , a liar, ex-drug abuser, punched holes in the walls, screamed at me and my mother for no reason, has been to jail to many times to count, abused the animals, my mom was in the hospital and he had women over every night, after my mom passed away he had the audacity to call her his wife when they were never married, gave his new baby girl my mother’s middle name and she isn’t even my mom’s Edit: I currently live with my aunt my father was never there for his children (there are five us) except for the younger two. He recently threatened to run away
I can relate to this song not only because I grew up dealing with an alcoholic father, but because I've been put in the very same position of having to leave him passed out on the couch to take shelter after failing to wake him. Here in Oklahoma the storms can get violent, but somehow the house always managed to still be there when I left the cellar.
Wow I relate to this song to cause my dad is a Achaholic and passes out on the couch and slams doors I don't live in Oklahoma but everything else is the same I lock myself in places while he gets drunk I have to wake him up and put him in his room from the couch
Thanks for your love and support.It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans.. May God continue to bless you,Kindly send me a direct message 9084428754
The fact that I used to live in Oklahoma because of my dad's work and I had to move to a small town there for half a year, my parents ended up divorcing and it was hell to live there at the end. I wish I knew about this song back then, but I found it about a year ago and relate so much. The lyrics hits deep when you have been there. ❤
There was a girl I went to school with in high school, she sang this song during the talent show and sounds just like the original. Was a year ahead of me in my cousin's grade, she was so beautiful and had the voice of an angel
My daughter and I used to listen to this sing over and over after I left her dad for this exact reason. I could not put her or myself through anymore .....cause I had no idea if he would be sober or drunk when he came home.... and he was not nice when he was drunk
Thank you Carrie for giving a voice to those who are put through hell by the ones they love. Songs like this need to be sung. I hope I too can one day be a voice that addresses humanities woes and speaks for those without voices. 💖

"There's not enough rain in Oklahoma to wash the sins out of that house, there's not enough wind in Oklahoma to rip the nails out of the past." The people of Moore beg to disagree!!
I love Carrie Underwood and her music. So many of her songs are SO intense! In a lot of ways, an artist's work is influenced by their experiences. I get the impression that Carrie is a tremendously talented artist, but very troubled. Bless her ❤❤❤
I am here from a comment someone made on TikTok under a CeciliaRegina video talking about how men are not helping their wives evacuate while the hurricane is loading. All I can say is this video is saying something to my soul. Thanks Carrie, so may years later❤
I really like the Wizard of Oz reference... I saw the scar crow... looking for the tin man and the cowardly lion.... unless the father is the tin man and Carrie is the cowardly lion. Any case, very good video....
I love you QUEEN CARRIE!! You are the all-time goddess of country music, a great actress, a great musician, and one of the hottest women of world history!! I have been on Team Carrie since 2004 and I will be on it 4ever!!!

I wonder if it's close. Would 13% more rain be enough to get the job done? 21%?

@Brad Paisley you've been reported. Leave me alone.
Excellent. Thank you.
I've been abused by crkhos my whole life...can I cry on your shoulder 😢

Hello how are you doing dear please can I talk to you?
@@CarrieUnderwood2023 I'm good how are you Carrie I love your music I jammed out to your music snice I was a teenager 🙂
Okay nice to meet her
Did you have a Google chat or hangout or Skype so will can talk more better each other cool and nice to chat with you now

Sad to say I lost everything I had in a tornado, December 26th in Rowlett Texas. Year-and-a-half later I met my boyfriend who I thought was so incredible . Then, several months later he grabbed my arm in anger & I said ..never do that again, but he did.. second time I thought of this video. I ran away and he promised he would get help, but he didn't. 2 years and body scars later, it escalated to the point he almost suffocated me.😞
Girls be careful. Never let any man ever grab you or hurt you in anger. Walk away the first time it happens!
I love you Carrie for this video
Are you out of that relationship now?
Ally Davis harvey really ruined my home man
How are you Alley? I hope your life is better now...
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
i mean, no one is above an asswhipping, they dont jsut fall out of the sky all the time
As someone who spent 7 years in Nashville as a songwriter, this song almost gets me choked up at how well-written it is. The craft is impeccable. The lyrics leave little breadcrumbs to help the listener piece the story together. Such a unique concept for a song. What a masterpiece.
I also really appreciate the music video for "Blown Away" because it was a slight tribute to "The Wizard of Oz." Carrie Underwood had a few easter eggs sprinkled throughout the video as allusions to "The Wizard of Oz." Carrie's dog Penny Jean is a nod to Dorothy's dog Toto. Carrie is wearing a blue plaid shirt and ruby red boots as a nod to the blue plaid dress and ruby slippers worn by Dorothy. For me personally I couldn't bring myself to listen to "Blown Away" after the devastating nonstop tornadoes in Carrie's home state of Oklahoma; particularly after the violent and destructive EF5 tornado that devastated Moore, Oklahoma on May 20th, 2013 wherein seven of the twenty-four fatalities were children who were killed at Plaza Towers Elementary School. When I learned that seven innocent children lost their lives at Plaza Towers; I couldn't keep myself from crying. This was the second time in my life that I have cried over the loss of young children; the first time was when I heard that twenty children were murdered by a deranged madman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14th, 2012. If there's a silver lining to the tornado that hit Moore on May 20th; it's that the residents of Moore adopted a mentality of "Never again!" after the tornado and learning about the seven deaths at Plaza Towers. This galvanized the city council of Moore into voting unanimously in favor of tougher building codes that require a lot of safety features that can better ensure the safety of the residents of Moore and prevent future loss of life. These building codes require all new structures to be bolted to the foundations, less space between the bolts, reinforced garage doors, stronger windows, consistent plywood reinforcement of walls, hurricane clips to hold down roofs, and above ground storm shelters. In addition; all of the schools in Moore now have storm shelters because after the tornado that hit Moore on May 3rd, 1999 only two of the schools in the city had storm shelters: Kelley Elementary School and Westmoore High School. This was due to the fact that both of these particular schools took a direct hit by the May 3rd tornado. The residents of Moore never imagined a storm as strong or as violent as the one on May 3rd, 1999 could ever strike their city again. Unfortunately, the storm on May 20th, 2013 proved them wrong. I personally admire the strength and resilience of the people of Oklahoma because they know how to get back on their feet after a disaster, pick up the pieces of their lives, and rebuild their communities. This particular phenomenon is known as the Oklahoma Standard. You put yourself last and everyone before you comes first.
@@michaellovely6601 that's so true those Storms we're dealing and Scarry for sure when we're I know that there warnings out on Television and on the cell phones I know okay will this is what this Storms we're like but I know we're I live never go hit very hard with. Tornado we got hit with on a couple of times we had a rain storm on time but we got up to tornado winds that we had a tree lifted right out of the ground Roots and all and the thunder was bad and tell you it was bad when the thunder touched down the whole house shaked and you could she just the windows just rocking and could see the trees moving back and forth side to side it was scary especially just being 9 or 10 years old And they don't teach about them till a certain grade so none of use kids know what to do if a tornado touch down or even how to act appon it
Yeah! Very explosive song. I don't wish that kind of childhood on anyone!
I completely agree with this comment. Each of us who are survivors takes this song and it literally breaks down our own memories. Gives me chills...of freedom!!
It plays like martinas independence day
This needs to be the official video for we survivors of abuse!! The power and strength of this song touches the soul. Those who haven’t been through our hell won’t understand but this song speaks volumes.
True
💯 %
My dad used to abuse me. This song really hits home. When he died , I didn't even cry.
My dad might as well been like that. When I told him what his manager employee did to me putting me through sexual hell, he said, it was just all in my head. But he deceived my mom crying like a baby about it. She told me about it the next day. I guess It was shock that kept me from telling her what difference he told me. But he managed to teach me, that guy used alcohol to get his girls in the sack with him which was the trick that manager used on me. I was ten.
1000 %
As a strictly metal and rap fan who never listens to country this is for real my favorite song of all time even my wife makes fun of my love for this song. The drums mixed with Carries power and conviction is so addicting I will literally hit replay over and over...There's not enough wind in Oklahoma...
Hello how are you doing dear please can I talk to you?
I am also a metal head of the grunge and punk eras and this song gets me good every time!
My husband love this too. He listens to mainly metal and early 80's to mid 90's rap. He normally hates country. But he really like this song.
@@martini20081your husband sounds like the man!
I love this song and just a dream and I'm also more of a rap and rock fan
As a former victim of sexual/physical abuse of an alcoholic, this song hit me like a ton of bricks. My breath was caught in my throat, the first time I heard it. The second time it was met with tears and anger. Now, its empowering for me. I hope all who've experienced anything similar to what I have, that you find your anthem. Love and light sent to you all! 💜XXXX
Your so strong
@@scarlett1641 thank you!💜
Stop dating crkheds
Recovering addict here. Keep pushing ❤
Love you. So much. Be strong. I'm still trying but love yourself. It is a struggle everyday.
I remember watching this over and over with my sister before we knew that we were both being abused ever way by our alcoholic father. We both thought we were alone in it but found strength in this song together, the strength we needed to speak out and put him away! This song sparked something in me that became a roar. I’m so glad it has helped others as well💜
Wow thank you for sharing this and being vulnerable 💕. You two are strong as hell! Sending good vibes ❤
L
I hate to hear that don't let it get to you.
Thanks for the love and support
How long have you been a fan?
I, too, am SO FREAKING proud of you two!!! I, too, was abused in every way. God bless you two.
Any man can be a father
But it takes a real man to be a dad.
who agrees
Where in the song made you think that? The guy was drunk in his own house, granted he died bc he couldn't wake up but that doesn't mean he was bad to her? 'Mean old mister' he lost his wife, let his grieve.
Me.
I actually bought a molded book that said this very thing to my dad, I think it stunned him, he just nodded and gave me his consent with a slight smile but I knew what it meant. He died 4 ½ years ago and the book is standing in my bookshelf now. Make peace while you can because it's not them that will be there to carry your wounds and upsets when they are gone, it will be you alone as it always have been.
I agree completely
I took on the role of daddy to a 2 year old a month later turned 3. And it was the greatest thing I’ve ever done. SO YES. I AGREE
Still her best song over 10 years later
She proves every time why she deserved to win American Idol in May, 2005 at just 21 years old.
She's my absolute favorite thing/person to come out of American Idol!! I love Carrie Underwood. I don't even like country music, BUT best believe I love her!!
@@missmew3499 me too
Wouldn't Carrie have been 22 when she won "American Idol" in May of 2005? Carrie's birthday is in March.
I thought I'd heard that name before. I think I didn't watch that one. Inonly watched the Clay Aiken one. After that I didn't wanna watch anymore.
Hmmmm didn’t know that
"Some People call it taking shelter, She called it sweet revenge." Love that line
I like how her vocals change when she says this, as if to italicize the point....
Looked like she did try to wake him up then gave up and got in the cellar. The revenge wasn't really her doing.
@@larryparent7128 the part that’s revenge is that she didn’t drag him down
*dad pours whiskey into coffee* Daddy was a mean old mister, Mama was an angel in the ground. There's not enough rain in Oklahoma, to wash the sins out of that house, there's not enough wind in Oklahoma, to rip the nails out of past. THATS DEEP
as soon as I started reading this those lyrics started to play
Yeah that's when I noticed it was a good song!!!
that is deep
+Aust Gaming I CARE. IT MAKES THE SONG GOOD.
deeeeppp
I was raised by my dad since age 5. He was very abusive. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer December 2013. My sister and I took turns caring for him for 8 months until he died. I never got the closure I Deserved. Even after showing him a level of kindness he didn’t deserve. This song continues to be very healing for me.
Dont regret what you did for him! It shows that you and your sisters are beautiful people
I have almost the same story except it was myself and my brother but I took most of it , I was older and she hates me more I guess but now she’s ams old women who has had two strokes . We hare the ones caring for her making her feel safe and cared for . But I’ll meet my maker one day and so will,she . I do think we are better for coping and we can weather the worst storms in life because we had to learn . Some people like my children who never got smacked or In my case punched and beat on and they can’t cope with the smallest of things because they were always protected from adversity . We are like stone walls it take ALOT to knock us down. God bless . The right thing is always the way to go .
@@TraceyIRL Same here. My father died in prison in 2009, of two cancers. For me, it was good radiance.
Your closure is his passing. Closure isn't necessarily about speaking your mind or trying to remedy a situation or even saying goodbye. Forgive him if you can. Forget the bad times and continue living your best life. My mother was abusive. I walked away from her and doing so healed me. I wish you the best.
Without trying to do that. Carrie showed with this video, the effects on children, when they have parents that drink. People that drink, don't realize it effects everybody around them.
Omg u are right my parents don't drink for that exact reason and I love them they help me with my homework too!
Sophia Holley The writers weren't trying to show it. They were just writing a powerful song and hoping Carrie would grab it. Not realizing the impact it would have. Especially the video. The actor has gotten backlash for it. But that just shows how good of a job he did.
+sierra bruner *sense
***** Carrie said "Blown Away" was written by two guys. Who, she didn't know at the time, but now she is good friends. They wrote it with her powerful vocals in mind.
***** The way, they do it. Is songwriters send Carrie songs, but they don't put their names on it, so that way, Carrie and her label don't know who wrote it. And when Carrie writes a song, she puts into the pile, then she leaves the room, when they are deciding whether it goes on the album or not. She said that in an interview in Country Weekly in 2008.
I have always expressed how much I disliked country music. But this song has managed to send chills through my body and help change my perspective on the genre.
Ash Strat WELCOME u won't regret it!
I am the EXACT same way!! One of my fav songs, the only other one is by her...before he cheats ;)
+picknbeansmamma I LOVE BEFORE HE CHEATS!!!!!!!!
Cherry O :)
+Ash B Agreed. Makes me wanna listen to more.
Wow I haven't heard this masterpiece in years! 😭💖
Keola K-Pop right!!!
Ugh same kpop and other music consumed me so I haven’t heard music like this in so long
Same
@@canihelpyou9404 same 😂
The real nostalgia
Blown away is what I am everytime I hear that woman's voice!! She sings with her whole heart and soul❤
Carrie Underwood is a really really good country girl singer
darcy Rippy she needs more subscribers i mean this is amazing
girl what dose that have to do with it
i agree with you on that
Shes so good i forget shes country
I disagree, we need to bring metal and rock back to the present, like Greta Van Fleet.
2:11 My God...if all country sounded that f-en phenomenal, I'd sleep in a cowboy hat. Lyrics are incredible, voice is unbelievable...fantastic.
Carrie Underwood is one of the few country artists that I, an avid rock/pop/kpop listener enjoys. That just goes to show how she appeals to not only country fans, but to people who enjoy all sorts of music.
flamboyantpotato yes kpop
That’s cause this ain’t real country music
Gage Geiger 😒😒you don’t have real friends
Gage Geiger HAS BEEN *B L O W N* *A W A Y*
Me too, i like the same music genres you do and I totally agree. This is the the only country song I love
The fact that Carrie’s character was abused by her alcoholic father and yet she tried desperately to wake him up to save him from the tornado truly says something about her character. Compelling music video
Literally and figuratively, touches some so deeply
It’s very haunting when she’s singing that there’s not enough rain in Oklahoma to wash the sins out of this house. Just a chilling song.
I can NOT get over Carrie’s vocals, they bring A LOT to her songs and her message that she clearly puts into her songs/performances
Jacquelynne Bishop yyyAAAAs
Any man can be a father but it takes a real man to be a dad ❤️❤️🥺
Best song ever, Hi how are you doing?
She is by far, one of the best things that came out of American Idol. Seriously, I can't believe, that is where she got her stardom, from every time I see her
Carrie and Kelly
Don't forget about Kelly Clarkson D:
That is why I am glad I put one of the best by far. Kelly, Fantansia, and Jennifer Hudson is definitely in that category as well. It is so shocking to me that they came from American Idol that I forget sometimes.
You forgot Sawyer Brown band.
Daniel Morter
Look up there song The Walk
Me and my little sister love singing this song together because we know all the words, our mom showed us this song, and because it has a good meaning. Thank you Carrie Underwood! 🥰
I agree 💯💯
i dont know how anyone can dislike this song. or any of carries songs. she is an amazing singer song writer. love her
beckyisgorgeous because some people don't have taste in good music
It's catchy but it's also a rather unsettling concept, a girl leaving her abusive father to die in a tornado.
Because some people still perfer their country music to not be pop music
IKR if they don't like it then they can just click away and not dislike it
+vegetarianvamp101 true. unsettling indeed. not Christ-like...
This song was everywhere when I visited America in the summer of 2013 and I have so many amazing memories with it
+ George Austin Tay You said you visited America in the summer of 13' and you have an English username so let me guess you are either English, Australian or Canadian. Am I right with that assumption mate. Or Irish maybe.

Tay is the abbreviation of my last name. My citizenship is Italian
I hope you had an awesome time visiting our wonderful and beautiful country.
tilo dyer
well I was all by myself and I stayed at a friend's house. I didn't really visit around much (I was near Albany NY) but I lived like a real American and I was surprised to see how nice everyone was. They literally had me at their house for 10 days and didn't want anything back! The only negative aspect: the food. Whew, I lost 6 lbs while I was there.
TLC
As a kid about 8 years old I watched my father slap, punch, push and eventually knock my mother's front teeth out. My mother never fought back. I tried to help but was too small. He was a mean son of a gun. It still haunts me even today at 63 years old. This song somehow helps. Thank you Carrie.
I'm sorry you lived through that
@@dee4844mz Thank you.
I’m so so sory God will help you
@@lathafalls7675 True and thank you.
That's why you don't date crkheds
This was me and my aunt's favorite song, and we'd listen to it in the car as we were on our way to her apartment for the weekend. And she recently passed and so it makes me cry everytime I listen to it now. You'll be forever missed aunt Pam 😭🙏❤️
So many families been effected by alcoholism,children specially deeply hurt by it.
This video is like a mirror to show how stormy and painful this can be to anyone.
Congratulations Carrie Underwood,we are blown away...
when i was younger, i never fully understood the meaning to the song. but now that im 17 and have an alcoholic stepfather, i cry every time i listen to this. he ruined the family my mom tried so hard to create. but this song really does show how much you just wish all of it can go away. i love this song and this is probably one of the only songs ive truly connected to. thank you Carrie
I hope you and your mom are in a better stimulation now since that was four years ago
My dad has PTSD from the military. This song was everything to me at one point in my childhood. I belted the lyrics in my room every day. I know he could hear me.
I feel sorry for you may he rest in peace
One of the most powerful songs ever made I can't atop listening to it I hope all that had to understand this message by experiencing it are doing well now
Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson the best of the best in Country, Loving the Music
Kelly Clarkson aint country lol
what about miranda lambert
Kelly Clarkson is veering towards more soul than country.
Kelly clarkson isnt country kelly is the queen of pop tho, i love both
@@michellemarie1197 Whitney Houston is the queen of pop.
This song and video speaks volumes how alcoholism can destroy a family.

sc1212able it sad
So our daughters leave us to die? I know my gabby. Shed savr2me
sc1212able 999 people agree the last person is oviously a druggy and doesn't agree
Carrie Underwood absolutely nailed it on singing this song! I’m unbelievably so proud of you!
You have no idea how many times he was passed out. If he woke up, I got hit. This song speaks volumes. My father passed away from alcoholism in 2011. It's been 10 years. All I can say is, distance if you need too and get on with life as best as you can. I wish no one the life that I had! However, there is light at the end of the tunnel! I can assure you, this too, shall pass. They will get theirs and have to answer for what they have done. Keep your head up!
Hello how are you doing dear please can I talk to you?
Every time I hear this song I end up in tears just because of how much unfortunately I can relate to it. But on the flip side, I've seen this video a thousand times before and I just noticed that there's a little puppy at the end of the video. And the puppy is Penny Jean.
Liz Lowe me too
Everybody knows what Ace looks like, Carrie's other dog. So, she gave Penny Jean the limelight this time. Only fair.
I am just the same
Lizflowers ikr
Lizflowers I relate to this just my mom sucks
I'm blown away about how good this song is
haha I get it!
right
what do you mean
hehe punns
gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma to rip the nails out of that house
This is one of my favorite lines in this song
I love how every carrie underwood song is an entire movie in about 4 minutes
I can relate to this song
I can relate to this song woth my real mother that don't see any more love you carrie underwood!!!!✌✌😻😻😎😎😉😉😘😘😍😍🕶🕶👍👍
I agree with you
So true
@@None-uf4no a
I remember my mom showed me this song on our way home telling me that we lost our house, and we had to pack everything and leave in a week. It was the first time I saw her cry in my life.
This song is part of my life. My name is Jaydem Wilson, and I am 14, from Norman Oklahoma. I've been through twisters, I've been through losing family. Carrie is my favorite singer. I love her songs so much. I lost my brother in 2010 from a twister. When ever I think about my brother, and I get upset, I simply go on TH-cam and listen to this song. It seriously cures my pain.
Thanks.
I was in may 20th.. moore in oklahoma ...I am so sorry for your loss.this song may Heal your emotions
thanks :)
So sad to hear that, that's a horrible way to go. Hope you stay strong R.I.P ;(
God bless you, I always think I have a hard life being that my dad is in the army and I barely see him,but then I hear stories and think wow I feel bad for these people but I am thankful that I am not them but,I feel bad for you
The melodies and thunder make u feel exactly what the song means
U did so well Carrie by ur deep words 💕
I remember being a little girl before my mom got us away from my father whose drinking and drug use made him mad and insane .. almost killing my mother infront of me.. and when I first heard this song it was almost a dream of mine to have a hurricane take out that house 🏠 im 30 now and still drive by it. It humbles me to see a new loving family in that house now. Its crazy how a broken home looks so gray and becomes full of color when pure love enters a home
I know ur hurt. Same for me. I’m glad a good happy family made that house a home
I remember singing this for an audition. It didn’t get me anywhere but you bet I gave it all my energy 😅
Hello how are you doing dear please can I talk to you?
You know, I was never into Carrie Underwood, but my friend showed me this a couple days ago, and as cheesy as it is, I'm blown away.
Cheesy, how??? This is an amazing visual video. Brillant as a matter of fact. References the wizard of oz theme and delves into parental alcohol abuse. Kids need this so they don't think something is wrong with them and relate to this huge problem.
helene jennings Sorry, I kind of wrote that sentence poorly. I was referring to me saying I was "Blown away" cheesy, not the music video itself - the video is amazing.
its not cheesy and that is what you meant i can tell!!!
lol i get it. not cheesy. cool, actually.
I can't believe this came out ten years ago! Seems like I heard it for the first time only last year! Always will be an amazing song.
this song came out the same year when the tornado
tore apart
Moore Oklahoma
and the elementary school
blessings to those who died
ya,it did.
Yes it's a frightful thing.
:(
I feel bad for all of the families to who died in that tornado
and the rebuilt in the same place
This is the only country singer I like. I dont normally like this genre of music. I could listen to Carrie all day. She rocks.
well its pop/country not true country
***** She has some songs that are true country, or sang/recorded.
*****
thanks expert.
I sang this at my first singing competition and won 1st place, I was 10. It was the biggest deal to me and I have Carrie to thank.
@Gracen McCormick Thanks!
@dogcrazygurl Thank you!
Sing it
👏👏
My daughters and I love Carrie. So sorry she had to endure so much pain growing up.
Cannot stand country but growing up with an alcoholic father this song always gets me.
Me to
My old man was an alcoholic ex-Marine DI who died drunk when I was in the Army right before the Gulf War. I quit drinking when I got married over 25 years ago to the woman in the next room from me. I'm glad I did. I'm the same age he was when he died and have a retirement income and a wife who still loves me which is more than he had when he died. I get along much better with his ghost now but then we always got along better when we weren't living together,
Who else cant stop replaying this beautiful song I love it 🥰
Same same but different but still same
😜
Same
A beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman
I like stegosaurus tbh
I'm not a fan of country music but, this song will always be a bop.
She's he reason I got into country music. It started to her and went on to Miranda Lambert and so on.
I like country music (the newer singers are trash though), and I like Carrie not only because of her music, but I appreciate that she actually puts thought into her songs and how she interprets them. Like this song, about how alcoholism can destroy a family, Little Toy Guns is about confronting marital issues, The Bullet is about the struggles of the shootings that happened last year and Carrie's three miscarriages, that's why I love her and her music so much
Why even bother saying “I’m not a fan of” any genre of music. It’s ok to enjoy music from select artists and bands and not care for the whole community of that genre. I’d you are a hip hop fan, for example, do you automatically think all artists are good and all their content? No. Same with anything
Her music just hits different for some reason…
@@sierramoore3959 he reason?
As a child of child abuse .... And I mean all all possible ways ... Listening to these songs helped me so much ... Sing away my pain all my hurt ...... I still listen to it up to a day like today
Coming from a metalhead, I just can't get over how great this song and the video is. The lyricism and meaning is fantastic. The video gives you a better visualization of the song's lyrical content. Then there is the sound which over all, the harmonies and melodies of the song along with the set key it is in just sounds great. I always did like Carrie Underwood but she really outdid herself on this track.
Thanks for your love and support . It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans.
May God continue to bless you,Kindly send me a direct message 9084428754
Full Lyrics:
Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, blown away, blown away
She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people called it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge
Shatter every window till it's all blown away
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, blown away
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past (blown away)
Shatter every window till it's all blown away
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
Till there's nothing left standing
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away
Blown away, blown away
Blown away, blown away
Carrie Underwood ❤🔥
Carrie Underwood nailed it from the beginning all the way to the end of the song.
I heard this for the first time. Why haven't I heard of this song before. It's 2022 and love this song. 😀 good one Carrie Underwood x
Personally, I think that this means (at least the music video) that no matter the storm in your life, God will always come through and bring sunny skies.
Tiffany Hoxie Yes he will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And them some!
Helene Jennings Amen!
Amen
Thanks I really needed that right now 😭😭😭
This is on my playlist that i haven't touched in a couple if yrs. I heard this randomly while in a Captain D's, of all places. The memories that came flooding back were real. Abuse knows no boundaries.
Everyone is saying how amazing the song is. Yes the song is amazing, but I think it's amazing because of the lyrics. If you really listen to the lyrics and the meaning of the song it gets to you.
I'm "Blown away" by her talent and beauty
This song is 4YEARS OLD!?!?!? Dang im getting old... STILL GREAT SONG!
Freedom now it's 5
Freedom Almost 5 years by now
Wow 4 years is not a lot
Freedom that is not old at all
6 now
I grew up with Carrie Underwood music and was OBSESSED. My mom got more than a few weird looks when her five year old would be belting songs like this and two black Cadillacs lmao. Blown away was my all time favorite song and remains there to this day.
Anyone who abuses their child doesn’t deserve to call themselves a parent
110% agree
Any man can be a father but it takes a real man to be a dad
No child should ever be abused kids are a gift from God and every parent should cherish there children/child
My father is a cheater , a liar, ex-drug abuser, punched holes in the walls, screamed at me and my mother for no reason, has been to jail to many times to count, abused the animals, my mom was in the hospital and he had women over every night, after my mom passed away he had the audacity to call her his wife when they were never married, gave his new baby girl my mother’s middle name and she isn’t even my mom’s
Edit: I currently live with my aunt my father was never there for his children (there are five us) except for the younger two. He recently threatened to run away
@@LemonDrops_ omgg I’m so sorry
But honestly that sounds exactly like my ex boyfriend
I can relate to this song not only because I grew up dealing with an alcoholic father, but because I've been put in the very same position of having to leave him passed out on the couch to take shelter after failing to wake him. Here in Oklahoma the storms can get violent, but somehow the house always managed to still be there when I left the cellar.
Wow I relate to this song to cause my dad is a Achaholic and passes out on the couch and slams doors I don't live in Oklahoma but everything else is the same I lock myself in places while he gets drunk I have to wake him up and put him in his room from the couch

Magnificent singer indeed
The fact that I used to live in Oklahoma because of my dad's work and I had to move to a small town there for half a year, my parents ended up divorcing and it was hell to live there at the end. I wish I knew about this song back then, but I found it about a year ago and relate so much. The lyrics hits deep when you have been there. ❤
There was a girl I went to school with in high school, she sang this song during the talent show and sounds just like the original. Was a year ahead of me in my cousin's grade, she was so beautiful and had the voice of an angel
Hence why you called her Ángel, correct? Thats all was started because of her angelic voice.
1:43
Me: "listening at Max volume"
Carrie: SHATTER EVERY EARDRUM TILL ITS ALL BLOWN AWAAAAAAAAAÀAAYYYYYY!!!!!
omg lol 😂
For real 😂
Yess LOVE IT
LOL!! What a funny comment 😂🤣😆
Josiah- You don't even know me but weird is a PERFECT way to describe me.
She is a once in a lifetime voice.
Absolutely absolutely ☺️☺️☺️
I used to play this song while I babysit my little brother who's a year old at that time. This song never gets old!!!!
My mom used to love this song. She was such a big Carrie Underwood fan. RIP Lisa
23 of January, It will be 9 years since my dad stopped all the drinking and drugs.
God Bless you and your family. Remember everyone has their own weaknesses but it's important that in those times not to lose faith and stay strong.
Death`s Road Well I'm certainly happy for you :/ My dad still drinks and him and my mom smokes :/
Death`s Road God bless.
Im glad he stopped: )
Death`s Road congrats to your dad. May he have many more years of being sober.
My daughter and I used to listen to this sing over and over after I left her dad for this exact reason. I could not put her or myself through anymore .....cause I had no idea if he would be sober or drunk when he came home.... and he was not nice when he was drunk
Melinda Peterson sob stories
Melinda Peterson God bless you
Melinda Peterson I cried reading this comment because my dad used to be like that when he was drunk but eventually became nicer
Melinda Peterson My mom left too.
Melinda Peterson congrats for breaking free
I absolutely love this song but feel sorry for everyone triggered by the lyrics. Love her powerful voice, look forward to listening to more. ❤😍
Thank you Carrie for giving a voice to those who are put through hell by the ones they love. Songs like this need to be sung. I hope I too can one day be a voice that addresses humanities woes and speaks for those without voices. 💖
I lived this life in southern ks...... chilling
Same here
Listen also to Independence Day by Martina Mc Bride for another song that gives voice to kids with alcoholic parents.
It was also made for a tornado in Joplin that destroyed everything
Edit: okay in case you didn't know that's a place in Oklahoma
That note she hits at 4:26 is awesome!
YA IKR
This song reminds me of the winter of 2012-2013, riding front seat in my mother's car on my way to middle school, 6th grade. A pleasant memory.
What happened
I remember that winter I was in 7th grade, such an awful winter
Nothing, just a song I heard on the radio a lot.@@tigress1321
Thanks for the love and support
How long have you been a fan?
Who else wishes this song would be on the new Twisters soundtrack?
I literally have been saying this!!!! because why arnt they using it?? it’s perfect!!
Me hands down
Me toooo I was just thinking this song could of been on the twisters album she could of done a new version of the song ❤❤❤❤
right?! Twisters without Carrie Underwood on the soundtrack was a little disappointing
It would have been a perfect song for it, especially since it takes place in Oklahoma!
I love Carrie Underwood she is very talented; I especially love her revenge songs.
I also really LOVE Carrie
Thanks for your love and support . It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans.

"There's not enough rain in Oklahoma to wash the sins out of that house, there's not enough wind in Oklahoma to rip the nails out of the past." The people of Moore beg to disagree!!
MOWilderness yesss
Joplin, Pitcher, and Baxter Springs agrees!!
My house was the only one left standing in my neighborhood in 2012
Too soon😂😂😂
True i was born there in 1966 that why they call it tornado valley
I love Carrie Underwood and her music. So many of her songs are SO intense! In a lot of ways, an artist's work is influenced by their experiences. I get the impression that Carrie is a tremendously talented artist, but very troubled. Bless her ❤❤❤
My mother is an abusive alcoholic and this comforts me....thank you Carrie.
try Ala teen. Call them, they are incredible, been there, no speeches, just friends.... you are NOT alone.....
@@mary5292 Thank you!: ❤

Both of my Parents are alcoholics it sucks doesnt it
@@deputy2717 shut up now there are people who care @Brampire Cat you are loved and I'm praying for your health and safe well being
Can we all just appreciate her energy
This song made me cry when I was younger even tho I didn’t know what it meant but now that I do it makes me want to cry more
Kayla Rachel 12806 OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
It made me cry to
Only for those who have to suffer through that kind of treatment.
I am here from a comment someone made on TikTok under a CeciliaRegina video talking about how men are not helping their wives evacuate while the hurricane is loading. All I can say is this video is saying something to my soul. Thanks Carrie, so may years later❤
I really like the Wizard of Oz reference... I saw the scar crow... looking for the tin man and the cowardly lion.... unless the father is the tin man and Carrie is the cowardly lion. Any case, very good video....
Toto I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
She also has red boots on.
Don't forget the yellow brick road!
Not exactly cowardly running back into the house trying to save her father before giving up and running to the shelter.
@@larryparent7128 it is a joke my dude.
The end, with her walking towards the rainbow with that puppy 🌈😭
