Ashton Shepherd’s Taking Off This Pain video is the lead single from her album, Sounds So Good. The songs begins with the lyrics, “I’ve got a cold beer in my right hand / In my left, I’ve got my wedding band.”
“I just put myself in the position of somebody that was really mad and aggravated and wanted to leave,” said Shepherd, who often writes from other people’s perspectives. “I put myself in that position and wrote that song, and I tell people I’m happily married! People often ask me that. They’ll say, ‘Well, are you married or what’s the deal?’ But, you know, everybody gets mad and everybody gets to feeling that all they get to do is laundry. That’s where I come up with a lot of the lines for the song.”
