![]() ![]() That is a pretty rare thing to pull off thematically. In this particular case, you could let nature take its course and something larger than all of us is the karmic force that creates the revenge and the payoff. It’s hard to create a scenario in which somebody gets what they deserve without somebody actually having to do something to them. JK: My personal favorite thing about the song is the revenge aspect of it. It feels good to have touched on that.īH: Is there anything we don’t know about this song? ![]() Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people who have been in broken homes, abusive relationships or families. It touches people.ĬT: Yeah, I’ve gotten a lot of that. See her wow judges Randy Travis, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abdul, before advancing to the next round for Season 4. We recently rediscovered her first American Idol audition video from 2004, and it proves she was a star from the start. The minute I heard that song, I was ready to go back into the studio, because that song had to be mine.”īH: Do you hear from the fans that (the song) has an emotional resonance (with)?

So, it had to be perfect for her.īH: You’re taking a risk because you can write a song for somebody and they never (record) it, but she (recorded) this one. JK: When we got to the bridge and started to drop the word, ‘Oklahoma’ in, and it melodically started to feel like Carrie, we kind of knew we were either going to crush a Carrie Underwood song here or there would be no one to record this song. We didn’t know how stormy (the song) was about to get. Correct me if I’m wrong here, about "Whirlwind," but because Carrie was from Oklahoma, we thought maybe there was a place in her career that involved a tornado.īH: So you just hammered the nail in, Tompkins, right?Ĭhris Tompkins: Yeah!
