How do you hurt that bad? To make you make the call that having no life at all is better than the life that you had? Jamie Teachenor and Rory Feek asked themselves those questions on the first day the two country songwriters sat down to write with each other.
Almost all of us have experienced loneliness at some point. It may be the pain we have felt following a breakup, perhaps the loss of a loved one, or a move away from home. We are vulnerable to the feeling of loneliness at any point in our lives. One of the best ways to overcome loneliness is to invest your energy in something you care about. When she started building a rock garden, she ended up living for five years.
We all need to have a purpose — something we are working on — or else our lives are meaningless. So, next time you find yourself feeling sad and isolated start working on something — any project that makes you excited. And that is the key to not being lonely.

The session was interrupted by a phone call: It was Feek's daughter's high school, who called with the news that her best friend's boyfriend, year-old Lance Emmitt, had committed suicide.
In response the two penned "How Do You Get That Lonely," a hit for country singer Blaine Larsen that helped bring comfort to Emmitt's family and friends, and clarity to others contemplating suicide. Blaine Larsen recorded this, and it's a tribute and dedication to the memory of Lance Emmitt, who took his life.
The song, I think, is one of the most powerful ones I've ever heard, but I think it's got a message in the sadness of it all that's empowering to somebody that might find themselves in that situation. Tell us about it. I'd been asking him to write a song. We sat down, the first time we'd ever written, and it was a Wednesday, Nov. It was the anniversary of the day that his dad had passed away, a few years before. So he had that on his mind, and we were trying to figure out, as we say, a new way to rhyme "love," and just wanted to come up with something fresh, something uptempo that we thought someone would record.
He got a phone call and stepped out of the room for a second, at Murrah Music over on 16th Avenue. It was the office of his daughter's high school, and her best friend's boyfriend had taken his life. I feel like great songs are not written. I feel like they're found. We were just in the right room at the right time.
If we had been in a different room, a different phone call, we would have never written that song.
