Top 10 Underrated Carrie Underwood Songs
#10: “Look at Me” feat. Vince Gill Play On (2009)
Top 10 Carrie Underwood Songs
We’ve all felt this type of love before. It's that initial rush of infatuation settling in and making you feel overjoyed whenever you're near your new love. Off of her third studio album, “Play On,” Carrie has put this feeling into a beautiful song that could easily melt even the most bitter among us. However, much like many entries on this list, the song was never released as a single, and therefore passed under the radar. But just give it a listen, and we think you'll fall a little father too.
#9: “Forever Changed” Blown Away (2012)
Akoben Featuring Gülşah Brett - Forever
Story songs are pretty much the lifeblood of country music, and with this understated tune, Miss Underwood does not disappoint. This song cuts right to the core too, with lyrics about a young girl growing up and growing old. And the final twist of the knife is when we find that woman has developed Alzheimer’s. Though this song was written for Carrie and not by her, she was once quoted as saying, “It just becomes very real… and I remember my grandmother at the end of her life, looking at my dad and thinking that that was my grandfather.” If that doesn’t get you choked up, we don’t know what will.
#8: “What I Never Knew I Always Wanted” Storyteller (2015)
Top 10 Most Underrated Disney Villain Songs
Settling down into the married life is not something every woman wants. However, with all of the love songs Underwood has sung in her career, it might be a little shocking to learn that she was one of the women who didn’t exactly believe in the fairytale. Yet, in 2015, Carrie released this incredibly sweet song in dedication to her husband and son. “What I Never Knew I Always Wanted” is a love song in explanation of just that: finding a missing piece you never even knew you lost. Perhaps it’s even what you never knew you always wanted for a wedding anniversary playlist or even just a quiet night in with your longtime spouse.
