I bought Carrie Underwood’s new CD, “Play On,” this month. I think the songs are very nice. There are a lot of slow moving songs on her CD, but overall I think it is a good CD. Her most popular song from the CD is called “Cowboy Cassanova.” I think this song is great. It has a wonderful beat to it, and the lyrics are excellent. My favorite two songs on the CD are “Undo it” and “Temporary Home.” “Undo” it is more of an upbeat song, and it is about making mistakes that a person cannot take back. “Temporary Home” is a slower, more serious song. This song is about how everyone’s life no matter where one is living, is just a temporary home, because the permanent home is in Heaven. I think this song is very heartwarming, and I just really enjoy listening to it.
