Brantley Gilbert and Lindsay Ell’s song, “What Happens in a Small Town,” is all about not being able to escape the memory of the other person when you break up in a small town. Before Brantley married his wife Amber, they went through break ups and heartaches, and when it came to dealing with the breakup and trying to get over the relationship, Brantley said, “For us it’s like songs, you know? Cause then you write songs about it and it’s like you relive it every time.”
Lindsay definitely agrees that getting her emotions out in a song is definitely helpful when it comes to healing her broken heart, and Brantley says, “I did find that a lot of, even the sad ones about breakups, when it came to Amber, it kind of helped. Every time I play it you kinda cope with it a little different and a little more and you have to fight through it to get through a show, so then you just figure out how to fight through it and get through life.”
Fortunately, any emotions Brantley relied on to write “What Happens in a Small Town,” are all in the past. These days, he and Amber are happily married and expecting their second child, a little girl, this fall.
