| Song |
"How Do You Get That Lonely" is a single by American country music artist Blaine Larsen. It was released in 2005 reaching #18 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[1] and making it to the Billboard Hot 100 at #91.
The song "How Do You Get That Lonely" had originally appeared in Larsen's album In My High School on Giantslayer Records.
The song was the second single from the album In My High School after Giantslayer Records had released the title song "In My High School" as Larsen's debut single. After Larsen joined BNA Records, the song "How Do You Get That Lonely" became the initial BNA release from Off to Join the World, but actually the second release from the original album In My High School.
Tribute
The song was written by Rory Lee Feek and Jamie Teachnor as a tribute of and dedication to the memory of Lance Emmitt, of Mount Pleasant, Tennessee, the son of Mack Emmitt and Gloria Renee Thomason Mash. Lance Emmitt had committed suicide on Nov. 11, 2003. He was just 19.[2] The song opens with reference to a small news item about the suicide of a young man.
It was just another story, written on the second page
Underneath the Tigers' football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on the bedroom floor[3]
Tigers is the team of Mount Pleasant High School that Emmitt attended. Larsen said: "I got chills when I first heard it, and I knew it was a song I was supposed to cut".[4]
Music video
Two separate music videos were released. The first one in 2004 accompanied the release by Giantslayer Records taken from the album entitled In My High School. This video shot in black and white shows Blaine Larsen singing and playing the guitar. It was produced by lilDRAGON and directed by Gabe McCauley. Jeremy Gonzales was the director of photography.[5]
The official music video with the release of the song by BNA came in 2005 through the duo Robert Deaton III and George Flanigen IV known as Deaton Flanigen.
