That piano part just immediately changes the room and makes you sit there and listen for a minute. So that\u2019s what happened from the first time he played it, and we started thinking about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramsey adds that the breaking point song is about hurting people, and wanting to change. \u201cI don\u2019t care who you are, if you are in this business, you are hurting people. Or you wind up hurting people that you love. Whether that be just with your travel, or maybe you are drinking too much,\u201d he said. \u201cSo the <em>want to change<\/em> is there, and I think inherently we\u2019re all good people and want to be good people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about that want to the best person for the people that you love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, Ramsey sure doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s hurting anyone in his latest Instagram pictures. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B4sDSOeFJ_l\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\"><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B4p8Lj1Fhdq\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\"><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B4N-iz5FBZg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\"><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3mMz8olK9l\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\"><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3oojwJF2Fe\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\"><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
