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.

Until I Die Alone
Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw it in your eyes
You're afraid
That you will die alone
So I just told the truth
My tongue tied and unloose
This will sink your ship
I have thought so many times
What my life would be like
Without you
There right by my side
What my life would be like
Without you
You sure seemed alarmed
When I spoke my heavy heart
How could I say something
As hopeless as that sounds
So I just used my mind
My words were hard to find
This will hurt so bad
Then it will go away
I have thought so many times
What my life would be like
Without you
There right by my side
What my life would be like
Without you
Then to make things worse
I questioned my own words
What will life be like
If she is really more
So I just took my time
Went an sobered up my mind
It will be alright
And we will be just fine
I have thought so many times
What my life would be like
Without you
There right by my side
What my life would be like
Without you
Waking up last night
I saw it in your eyes
That sparkle of your soul
That I had missed
So I just told the truth
My tongue tied in a noose
This will sink your ship
Then you will be set free
I have thought so many times
What my life would be like
Without you
There right by my side
What my life would be like
Without you

Waking up last night
The singer woke up from sleep last night
I saw it in your eyes
The singer noticed something in the other person's eyes
You're afraid
The other person is scared
That you will die alone
The other person is afraid of dying without someone by their side
So I just told the truth
The artist decided to tell the truth

What my life would be like
About what their life would be like
Without you
If the other person wasn't around
There right by my side
If the other person wasn't physically present
You sure seemed alarmed
The other person was surprised or concerned
When I spoke my heavy heart
When the singer expressed their emotions
How could I say something
The singer feels unsure about what they said
As hopeless as that sounds
As sad or negative as the statement may seem
So I just used my mind
The artist decided to think instead of speak
My words were hard to find
The singer is struggling to express themselves
This will hurt so bad
Talking about this will be painful
Then it will go away
But eventually, it will get better
Then to make things worse
The situation takes a turn for the worse
I questioned my own words
The artist starts to doubt themselves
What will life be like
They wonder how life will be
If she is really more
If the other person is actually more important
So I just took my time
The singer decides to slow down
Went an sobered up my mind
And clear their head
It will be alright
Everything will be okay
And we will be just fine
They will work it out
That sparkle of your soul
The artist sees something special in the other person
That I had missed
That they hadn't seen before
My tongue tied in a noose
The singer still struggles to express themselves
