I've lost almost everyone in my life but Juliet's...
This isn’t an easy story to tell. Introductions first? I’m Michala, I’m 11, live in TN.
I found out about Juliet early last year. Before 6th grade started. At the time, it was just beautiful music with soulful lyrics. But then the school year started, where everything went wrong. I had started to take an interest in rock music, the color black, etc. So that automatically made...

Juliet Simms is truly an inspiration to me
I picked up my first drug at the age of 13. By 18, my life had spun out of control. I had no where to turn to. I was bankrupt. Emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I was an empty shell. I had gotten to a point where I would avoid mirrors because the sickly looking person looking back at me was a stranger. I had hit bottom. I then decided to get help. I checked into rehab and when I got out I...

I had nobody but Juliet at that point in my life
The Kids Will Take Their Monsters on came out right in the middle of the worst experiences of my life. I completely fell apart and I was suicidal and I was forced in a very bad living situation. I just got through the urges with that album as well as the older ones, and I somehow got through it. Every time I have an thought of dying, I go back to that album and it’s been saving me every day since...

I was diagnosed with Juvenile Huntington’s Disease. I don’t want to go on giving a billion paragraphs of description, so if you don’t know what it is and want to know more ill let...

“Automatic Loveletter helped me STAY clean.” - Rachel
SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT RACHEL! Stating clean can be very hard, I know that, and I’m so glad Juliet and her music was/is able to help you do that.

Isn’t it mind blowing how someone you’ve never met can have such a huge impact on your life? We all have that person who has said or done something so profound that it’s shaken you to the core. Well, for me, that someone is Juliet Simms.
I’ve always suffered from depression, but one time in particular stands out in my mind. It was a few years ago. I was watching my family...

Carry The Fire
Over the past 7 years I’ve been struggling with my sexuality and identity. All throughout high school i was really bullied both verbally and physically. I had people writing hateful things all over my wall and photos on facebook as well as people corenering me in halls and threatening to kill me. So naturally, I developed severe depression and anxiety. I couldn’t walk down the halls comfortably, I...

Her presence, her passion, her soul-deep voice...
It’s been a really rough time in my life lately. I’ve been out of work for 4 years, traveling around, crashing any place I could lay my head… finally started going to college, but years since high school means it’s been an uphill battle. Money’s running out, job prospects look bleak, and I feel like I am on that edge of a cliff where one swift wind would push me over. That’s when I first heard...

Before and after
I was actually a fan when she was with her band was called ‘Stars and Scars’ and I had actually put her off from listening to her…..my sister and friend were telling me to listen to her….and finally i heard one of her first songs “Old Movie” and fell in love with her sound….not just her voice…but the sound of what made that song….she has progressed far more than I have hoped for….we met her during...

I Heart Mama Snake
It was a year ago when I first listened to her and I thought she was amazing. The first song I heard of hers was, ”Changing Skies” and it’s still one of my all-time favorites. Then I started downloading as many songs as I can of hers and boy, I fell in love with her.
This is a bit weird but I’m a fourteen-yet-to-be-fifteen year old guy whose insanely crazy about Juliet Simms. Whenever I’m going...

Everything's OK..
This is not going to be original but I first heard Juliet’s voice on her blind audition for The Voice. And actually I was not watching it live, but on youtube, one or two weeks after it actually happened. Why that ?? Because I’m French ! So I was randomly looking for some great auditions, and there were some good ones… But then came Oh Darling, the video was playing,...

I remember the first time I heard Juliet’s voice… I was listening to an All Time Low CD and heard the song Remembering Sunday and thought that the girl singing had a very unique voice that I want to hear more of so after some googling I found Automatic Loveletter and immediately feel in love.
Not only do I love their music but Juliet was bumped to the top of the list for my girl...

Return to Humanity...
Juliet’s music is helping me get through the hardest time of my life. A few weeks ago I was at a low. I poured all the pills into my hand and decided I needed music to assist me, so naturally I put on “Pillows”. The second the song started, I got this instant burst of…I can’t even explain what it felt like. I just know that I no longer wanted to give up so easily. Hearing Juliet’s voice and words...

Since Florida and before...
I remember the times of youth when I was on myspace for hours upon hours looking for new music. Well I came across Juliets page and felt a draw to her voice and soulful lyrics that resounded emotion through each lyric. Then came ALL and the chance to be a street team leader and tours and advertising. I was thrilled that more of the world was hearing her voice. Now the Voice. She’s the...

MAMA SNAKE
Alright I’ve got to admit too, I am a little late. I first heard Juliet on her blind audition on the voice. Immediately I fell in love. Not only is her voice badass, everything about her is badass. I have all of her music and my favorite song is Carry the Fire. Juliet’s music and words really hit me hard and make me feel better about the things going on in my life. I admire everything she...

This is as Quiet as it Gets
I remember when I was looking up random songs on Youtube when I was fourteen and saw the song “Make-up Smeared Eyes”. When I first heard it I fell in love with Juliet’s voice. Then I found the song, “Hush”, which is my all time favorite song by Automatic Loveletter. I made all my friends and my family listen to it and they loved her voice as well. I have always liked raspy-dirty voices so I...

Inspiration
I first came across Automatic Loveletter when they toured with Secondhand Serenade in 2008. Honestly, I gave the EP a listen on Myspace before the show and for some reason it didn’t catch my attention that much. All of that changed when they came on stage and she sang the first 2 words of the first song. I was mesmerized! I was captivated, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. Who was this girl? she...

I think the first time I heard Juliet sing was when my friend directed me to her song Hush on youtube. After hearing the uniqueness of her voice, I needed to hear more. I looked up song after song in the related videos section and listened nonstop. My favorite song is probably Eyes on You. The moment I heard the name Juliet Simms as she walked out on the stage of The Voice, I was speechless. It...

She is a place to run, a place to hide, and a...
Around 2007 I came across some downloads of Automatic Loveletter on Limewire. “The Day That Saved Us” and “Unhearted” stand out in my memory. I immediately thought, who is this woman?! Her voice was something I had never heard before. I went to her Myspace page, listened some more, read about her… I fell in love. There was no autotuning, no dirty lyrics- just heart.

She lights my passion for music every single day
The first time I heard an Automatic Loveletter song, it was Hush in the Fall 2010. Last.fm recommended that song to me. I fell in love instantly with that intense voice. I posted it on my facebook wall, and got few people to like it too. That was the beggining of my endless admiration towards Juliet. Then I saw her on Warped Tour 2011 in Montreal city. That was the best live performance I saw in...

I feel the need to voice out on something that I’m noticing. Some people are saying that Juliet doesn’t deserve to win The Voice because she’s failed in the past. Now I could be wrong, but being a major Autolove fan I would LOVE to know where people are considering her band a failure?!
No, she has not gotten the recognition she deserves, but that does not make an artist a...
Why Juliet is ‘The Snake That Saved Me’
I admit I’m late to the game as I had not heard of Juliet or Automatic Loveletter until after her Blind Audition on The Voice. I love to discover new music for myself and I was so moved and in awe of her doing ‘Oh! Darling’ I thought: “Wow, she’s great. I wonder if she has anything on YouTube.”
The first song I found on YouTube was the video for ‘Hush’. And then ‘Story of my Life’. And...
Thank you Juliet for teaching me that I'm strong
I remember finding Automatic Loveletter on Myspace like… I don’t know, maybe 5 years ago. The first song I heard was Hush and then I started searching for every single song I could possibly find.
My parents had divorced long before I found out about her and then my mom went through another messy break up when I was 14, and I remember how lonely I was. I couldn’t find my place,...

Ever since I was a little girl, I wasn’t a very strong individual. Always wondering where my place is, my parents divorce when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I lost all faith in myself, I lost my mind. It’s been such a struggle for me since then, then around 2006 or maybe even 2007 I stumbled upon a song titled Make-Up Smeared Eyes. Now I knew that it was about a break up but, it...

Juliet's music keeps me going day after day
I was evicted earlier this year by the worst landlord on the planet (not exaggerating), and I am staying at a temporary place until I can come up with enough money to rent someplace else. Over the last year or so, Juliet has rapidly become my idol. I play her albums every week, because Juliet gives me strength when I’ve been in despair. This year has been so hard on so many levels, and...

When I met Juliet for the first time after seeing her open for Secondhand Serenade and Cute is What We Aim For in November of 2008, she shocked me in the best possible way. She gladly took a picture with me, but that was not the highlight of my encounter. I didn’t really know what to say to Juliet as I stood in front of her, so I told her the honest truth: I have been obsessed with your...

I heard her band debut album, “Truth or Dare” in last February first. I thought her voice was amazing and it made me happy. But I didn’t listen to her album everyday because I loved Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Katy Perry more.
3.11, then the earthquake came. I lived near the center of the earthquake and I lost everything by the TSUNAMI. I lost faith in life. I lost my house and...

Dear Juliet
Thank your inspirational music. Your songs helped me get through two very rough weeks in my life and inspired me to not give up and keep on going! These two weeks were very important and I could have landed in a very dismal place if I were to give up. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for that!
There is also something else that really prompted me to write this letter. I agree with Cee Lo...

I never felt safe or comfortable in my own home.
I first heard Juliet when she was still ‘Stars & Scars’ & everyone kept messing up their name(lol). I’ve met her & saw her live so many times; those were truly the best nights of my life. When I came out I was gay I lost everyone I had & I was alone. My friends didn’t care for me & my parents were…different. I never felt safe or comfortable in my...

Oh Juliet, oh Juliet. Where do I even begin?
I guess I should start from 2005 when I first heard her on myspace. The first song I ever heard was Parker and when I heard it I automatically started crying (in school nonetheless). It came at the most heartbreaking time in my life and I related to it so much. Ever since then I have never stopped supporting Juliet because why should I? I adore her with all my heart. My life has been one big...

Hello Fellow Snakes!!
Josh here! ( @AllTimeJoshy) for those of you who have been directed here from Twitter.

So myself & Tracy are here to help! Stories can remain anonymous if you like, just tell us when you submit. You can submit 2 ways....
