Carrie Underwood has won nearly every award possible, her most recent being her 5th Grammy. These accomplishments are meaningful, but her latest single reminds us that this world is “just a stop on the way to where we’re going.” The powerful lyrics of this co-written song match perfectly with the video. If you cried when merely listening to the song, you’ll certainly need a box of Kleenex for the video! The message of “Temporary Home” was inspired while Carrie was reading the award winning “Purpose Drive Life.” The initial segment of the video features a boy who has been shuffled from foster home to foster home. The second segment features a mother and daughter struggling to make ends meet in the current economic state. The final segment features Carrie playing the part of a woman spending the last precious moments with a dying loved one. If you already found yourself with a few tears trickling down your face, be prepared for a complete waterfall during the final segment! This video is the epitimy of what we love about country music. It tells a story, tugs on your heart strings, and leaves you feeling uplifted. Don’t let the tears fool you, this is supposed to be a postive song that reminds us that the things of this “Temporary Home” will pass.
