I was just writing with them \u2014 obviously amazing talent \u2014 in my East Nashville house. The very first house I ever bought: a cute little green dollhouse,\u201d Kramer told me when we had a chance to talk (in a socially distant way). \u201cThe third bedroom was a writing room, and Emily was on the piano and Nicole was on the guitar. And I love a good ballad: something that kind of pulls at your heartstrings. So I had this idea of a love that you can\u2019t touch, but it\u2019s so strong and so powerful that no matter what, you\u2019ll be able to get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The song didn\u2019t make the cut on her self-titled debut album in 2012. Or her second album <em>Thirty One<\/em> in 2015. But now, a decade later, it\u2019s just right for right now. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-zY4TIp03q\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWith everything kind of going on, I was like, \u2019We have to just be so strong through all of this.\u2019 We have that strong love, where nothing can shake what we have. No stress, no anxiety, no fear. And nothing can touch a love like that. That is what I wanted when I was writing in my 20s: something that will not break and will not shatter. I want love that is untouchable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not alone if you\u2019re yearning for that, and if you do have it, you need to cherish it and hold it and love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can stream \u201cUntouchable\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/1laVvtp8sx6c2im57a2x1Z\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>When the conversation turned to the stay-home quarantine and the coronavirus pandemic, Kramer and I were all in our feelings over how hard it has hit our hometowns near Detroit. \u201cAll of my family still lives there. And actually my aunt lost her dad, my cousin lost his grandpa, and it\u2019s just been so sad. It\u2019s just awful. My brother\u2019s a sheriff there, all of my cousins are nurses and doctors, and they\u2019re all working so hard. This is what\u2019s on everyone\u2019s heart,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>The whole thing has definitely been a transition for her and her husband Mike Caussin and their children Jolie Rae and Jace Joseph, Kramer added, because they are so used to a much busier pace. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is so different, and to be locked in one place has been tough. Fortunately, it\u2019s been nice in Nashville,\u201d she said, \u201cso we\u2019ve been able to get outside. And we cleared out our garage so that we can play in there when it\u2019s raining. I think what\u2019s been keeping us sane.\u201d <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-2Fc9-JZAb\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another silver lining for Kramer is that she feels so much more present with her family. \u201cUsually I always have to post something or have a meeting or go somewhere, and then I\u2019m trying to be present with them but I\u2019m not present. So now I am, and that\u2019s been really helpful with a teething toddler and a four-year-old who wants to go to all these places, like ice skating and Chuck E. Cheese. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2019I know, honey. When they open, I promise we\u2019ll go.&#8217;\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
