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.

Peace Song
Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we all just took two steps back
And prayed for peace
I always wondered how the air would smell
Do you think if we'd be able to tell
without the smell of fear
That we're going to hell
There is a fire in my heart you're not putting out
There's no need to scream or shout
Just pray for peace
There's a song in my soul try and beat it out
There's no need to scream or shout
Just pray for peace
My heart was pure and my soul was clean
Got shipped away to a war zone
Across the shining sea
In the name of peace
My momma told me youngest son
Don't lose your mind to that loaded gun
And I lost it now I'm on the run
There is a fire in my heart you're not putting out
There's no need to scream or shout
Just pray for peace
There's a song in my soul try and beat it out
There's no need to scream or shout
Just pray for peace
There is a fire in my heart you're not putting out
There's no need to scream or shout
Just pray for peace
There's a song in my soul try and beat it out
There's no need to scream or shout
Just pray for peace
Just pray for peace
The song "Peace Song" by Never Shout Never is a poignant and reflective piece that speaks to the yearning of the human soul for peace even in times of pain and chaos. The lyrics invite us to imagine a world where people take two steps back and pray for peace. The singer raises a deep question “I always wondered how the air would smell, do you think if we'd be able to tell, without the smell of fear, that we're going to hell”. The lyrics of this part suggest that fear has become so pervasive and insidious in our collective experience that it may be difficult to discern other smells.
The song then takes a turn towards personal experience as the singer reveals that he has a fire in his heart that seems inextinguishable. He invites listeners to pray for peace and not to shout or scream but rather to seek healing and calmness in their souls. Further on, the song touches on the personal tragedy that many have experienced when loved ones go to war. The song becomes even more powerful when he narrates how his mother had warned him against losing his mind to a loaded gun, a warning that was too late to save him.
One can interpret "Peace Song" as an appeal for people to look beyond their own personal struggles, extend a hand of love and understanding to those around them, and hope for a world where peace is not an elusive dream. It is a call to action for people to choose peaceful means to resolve conflicts and to prioritize the fundamental needs of unity, security, and stability over individual gain.

Eu sempre me perguntei o que o mundo seria
Se nós todos apenas levamos,dois passos para trás e rezando por paz
Eu sempre me perguntei como o ar cheiraria
Você acha que nós somos capazes de dizer,sem o cheiro de medo?
Que nós estamos indo para o inferno
Tem um incêndio em meu coração,você não esta apagando
Não há necessidade de gritar ou aconselhar
Apenas rezar por paz
Tem uma música em minha alma,tentando e saindo para fora
Não há necessidade de gritar ou aconselhar
Apenas rezar por paz
Meu coração era puro,minha alma era limpa
Fugi de barco para uma zona de guerra,através do brilhante mar
Em nome da paz
Minha mãe me falou ''jovem filho,não perca sua cabeça para aquela arma carregada''
E eu perdi,agora eu estou na corrida
Tem um incêndio em meu coração,você não esta apagando
Não há necessidade de gritar ou aconselhar
Apenas rezar por paz
Tem uma música em minha alma,tentando e saindo para fora
Não há necessidade de gritar ou aconselhar
Apenas rezar por paz
Tem um incêndio em meu coração,você não esta apagando
Não há necessidade de gritar ou aconselhar
Apenas rezar por paz
Tem uma música em minha alma,tentando e saindo para fora
Não há necessidade de gritar ou aconselhar
Apenas rezar por paz
Apenas rezar por paz
