Drew showed the world that with the help of MySpace and great word of mouth, anyone with worthwhile work ethic and talent can start a monumental snowball effect towards success. After recording an EP by himself in his basement, NeverShoutNever! became an instant online success story, averaging over 40,000 online plays a day, and headlining shows throughout the Midwest. In early July, he was positioned in the top spot on the MySpace unsigned artist listing, and his first official release, the YIPPEE EP (July 29th), was followed up by a performance on TRL’s “on your radar” segment the very next day.
Drew started his climb to stardom in mild fashion. He learned to play the guitar from a friend early in his teen years. Then, his parents bought him a Macintosh computer for Christmas and with some sound-editing software, Drew was on his way to stardom.
As of November 17, 2008, the official spelling of Ingle's alias became NeverShoutNever! It had previously been listed as Never Shout Never on iTunes and his management company’s site. An official statement regarding the reason behind the spelling change has not been made available. In an interview, Ingle revealed that there is no longer an exclamation point after his name and that he will spell NeverShoutNever as one word when he is feeling happy, but three words when he isn’t. Warner Bros. Records is spelling his name as “Never Shout Never” for the upcoming release.
After experimenting with a couple of other names, Drew settled on Never Shout Never, the name of one of his songs, to represent him musically.
Ingle follows a strict vegan diet. His music career caused him to drop out of his high school, Joplin Senior High, before graduation.

Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slow down you're moving way too fast
Come back down and you will see the truth at last
The sky is made of me
The stars are made of you
Love is in the air
There's nothing we can't do
We're going nowhere fast
The kids are catching up
We don't know how to act
We're having so much fun
And it's only just begun
So don't give up
I'm watching you defy gravity
Your hazel eyes, are slipping away
I'm watching you defy gravity
Your hazel eyes, are drifting away
Slow down you're moving way too fast
Gracefully you fell landed on some broken glass
You dug yourself a hole you climbed your way back out
Learning from a fall is what flying's all about
We're going nowhere fast
The kids are catching up
We don't know how to act
We're having so much fun
And it's only just begun
So don't give up
I'm watching you defy gravity
Your hazel eyes, are slipping away
I'm watching you defy gravity
Your hazel eyes, are drifting away
I'm watching you defy gravity
Your hazel eyes, are slipṗing away
I'm watching you defy gravity
Your hazel eyes, are drifting away
Slow down
Slow back down
You dug yourself a hole (Slow down)
You climbed your way back out
Learning from a fall
Is what flying's all about
Spread your wings (Slow back down)
Learn to fly
You dug yourself a hole (Slow down)
You climbed your way back out
Learning from a fall
Is what flying's all about
Spread your wings (Slow back down)
Learn to fly
You dug yourself a hole (Slow down)
You climbed your way back out
Learning from a fall
Is what flying's all about
Spread your wings (Slow back down)

You dug yourself a hole (Slow down)
You climbed your way back out
Learning from a fall
Is what flying's all about
Spread your wings (Slow back down)
Learn to fly
You dug yourself a hole (Slow down)
You climbed your way back out
Learning from a fall
Is what flying's all about
Spread your wings (Slow back down)
Learn to fly
In this song, "Hazel Eyez," the singer is encouraging someone to slow down and take time to focus on the important things in life. The opening lines tell the person to slow down and come back down to reality, where they can see the truth. The singer then talks about how the sky is made of him and the stars are made of the person they are talking to, highlighting the idea that love is in the air and that together they can accomplish anything.
The chorus repeats the lines "I'm watching you defy gravity / Your hazel eyes are slipping away / I'm watching you defy gravity / Your hazel eyes are drifting away." These lines suggest that the person the singer is addressing is struggling or in danger of losing sight of what's important, represented metaphorically by their hazel eyes slipping away. However, the singer is watching and will help the person "defy gravity" and stay grounded.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the importance of learning from mistakes and falling down, as it is what makes us stronger and teaches us how to fly. The final refrain repeats the lines about digging oneself out of a hole and learning from a fall, urging the person to spread their wings and learn to fly.

THRĒZZY
This is their most mature album, from the instruments to the lyrical content. I wish they would've stayed in this direction.
shoutallpanic
i remember when this album came out the band was so excited for the release and so many of the fans (including myself for a small period) shat on it. i regret that so much. all of these songs are so damn good.

Thanks 💕
Barehan MD
it bothers me that the're not as famous as they deserve to be..
yesenia aguilar
+bambalena guby well at least all the popular kids that only like things that are popular won't mainstream them and make it lose meaning, thats why i like that they aren't so famous because they have so much meaning in every word and i would hate to see people treat them like no songs matter and its just a noise.
Mandy Darling
if chris would've stuck to the same thing he was doing, i'm sure it would have gotten really boring for the fans as well as for him. I think it's good that he is changing his style all the time. That's the proper way to be a musician. Expand your horizons. XOPEN YOUR MINDX lol
LaughingAwayBadDays
I personally love the new album. It shows how much he's grown up, and its amazing sounding. Absolutely Amazing.
