Never Shout Never! No, I'm not talking about Justin Bieber!

^Above is the musical genius, Christofer Drew Ingle.^

Singer of the band Never Shout Never, previously spelled Nevershoutnever!

I have been practically in love with him since introduced to him, in the early 2000's.  

His music style has changed drastically, from cute, pop-country music, to more pop-alternative music and is slightly going back.  It is very different style that many people don't listen to.  It's the most different kind I listen to, it doesn't sound anything like any of the other bands I listen to.  

His lyrics can be about anything. A lot of breakups and getting together with girls.  But they have ones where you start thinking about things you never would, or even a message.  He likes to get messages across.

Chris tends to smoke on stage, and yes, sometimes weed.  But no ones seems to mind. He'd rather not wear shoes and has over 20 tattoos and gauges, but I will always have a connection with him. 

It has always been a dream to meet him, and I possibly could on Saturday, where I am seeing him in concert after not seeing him for two years.  He is an amazing artist live, and likes to tell us about when he wrote certain songs and why.

Here is the band members at the moment.
Other Than Christofer Drew who sings and plays either ukulele or guitar, the drum player is Nathan Ellison, the bass player is Taylor MacFee, the keyboard player is Dustin Dobernig, and when called for, Hayden Kaiser plays the tambourine or xylophone. Also ,Caleb Denison plays guitar.

He is also in another band, as a side project.  That is called EATMEWHILEIMHOT!, which has an COMPLETELY different style from Never Shout Never.  

Now, a song and lyrics.  Never Shout Never has one song that I could listen to the rest of my life.  It tells you how to live life, all the time.  To Just Laugh.

I Just Laugh

My shadow followed when you walked away
And ever since that day
My life has never been the same
My friends all asked just why you went away
And all that I can say is that your heart was in another place

And all I know is when I move away
My heart will stay in this midwestern state

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Darling, you're with him!
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Damn it's such a shame.
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
It's drivin' me insane
And ever since you went away,
My heart has never beat the same
And all that I can do
Is just laugh

California waits for me to make the change
So I can start a band
And party like it's summer
My friends all ask just why I want to change
And all that I can say is it's all because of her

And all I know is when I move away
My heart will stay in this midwestern state.

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Darling, you're with him!
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Damn it's such a shame.
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
It's drivin' me insane
And ever since you went away,
My heart has never beat the same
And all I want to do
Is just go scream it in your face

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Darling, you're with him!
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Damn it's such a shame.
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
It's drivin' me insane
And ever since you went away,
My heart has never beat the same
And all that I can do
Is just laugh.

Well, I could listen to all of The Summer EP by Never Shout Never, but I like this song the best.  They did just release a Christmas Album, The XMas EP, so if your getting in the christmas mood, go look for it.

Hope you like them, if you don't, thats fine.  But they will be my favorites.
