I think, being from east Tennessee, you're kinda born with a little lonesome in your soul, in your blood. You know you've got that Appalachian soul. Ashley Monroe appalachianbearblood Change image and share on social

When my dad passed, there's a lot of sadness right below the surface, and I think there will be until the day I die. So, writing sad songs helps it. And when I sing them, it's pure therapy for me. Ashley Monroe daddaydie Change image and share on social
I love music so much. I've got something going all the time. I've gotta be singing. I've gotta be creating music, or I'm not happy. Ashley Monroe creategottahappy Change image and share on social

I make up stories in my head all the time, but I've never written them down. But I write a lot of story songs. Any song I'm singing, I sort of see it like a movie in my head. That's why a lot of times I close my eyes when I'm singing. Ashley Monroe closeeyehave share on social

When I sing, I go somewhere else. Every time after I sing, I'll ask, 'Did I do OK?' Because I feel like it's like my soul squeezing out of my vocal chords.

I feel like it's the most unnatural thing for two humans, especially of the opposite sex, to live in harmony under one roof. You realize how different men and women are. Ashley Monroe feelharmonyhuman Change image and share on social
