People keep asking about the dreads so I’m just going to leave these here. Taken on April 18 2019. The replies had tons of backlash (see those 80+ replies) telling him why this is wrong. He has since gotten rid of the dreads and never acknowledged it. Poorly handled situation. 

As far as Analicia, she had the baby and it seems like they’re back together but not living together at this moment. They seem to have plenty of ups and downs - she keeps keeps deleting all of her photos with Chris, just to put them back and then post about how much she loves him. I can’t keep up with his personal life anymore.

How did you know Chris left Analicia? They're back together now. She wrote saying they were living on couches most of her pregnancy & ended up living with family. He doesn't seem to be stable.

yeah sorry he wasn’t posting about the pregnancy or anything while she was at the time so it seemed like she was doing it alone. He also deleted their old pictures together, looked like a breakup to me. But they’re both posting and together now clearly.

Christofer Drew got his girlfriend pregnant and then they broke up and today he got dreadlocks and refuses to listen to the opinions of people of color, if you wanted an update on Never Shout Never in 2019.

helllloo! i am going to the nsn show tom night and i was wondering if you got the VIP ticket or just normal GA ticket/ how early you got there?! any help would be wonderful and greatly appreciated :)))

sorry if I’m too late to help!! I had a GA ticket and got there at 3pm I believe. I was the first GA one on line haha... doors opened at 6. I think the vip m&g was at 4:30? So they went in and were technically in line ahead of me. They came back out though (which is unusual for these as far as I know) - so they were in front of me in line. This is a lot lol let me know if you need clarification or anything!

ps I saw Chris on his way in/out of the m&g which was when I asked him for a pic but he said no... but he seems better & more social now; if you go to a show coming up I recommend knowing when the m&g is and keeping your eyes peeled!

thanks for uploading those videos on youtube! I haven't seen that many pictures or videos from this current tour :/

No problem! Yeah I haven’t seen much either, now I’m wishing I got more good pictures...

Christofer Drew - 7.7.16

[nevershoutblog]

chris was rude to you when he said he couldn't take a pic?

noo I wouldn’t say he was rude... he politely said something like “sorry, I just can’t right now” I was just bummed out haha

I didn’t know it at the time but he wasn’t feeling well that day (he said so later that night on stage). Apparently he’s been under the weather for the few tour dates, which is probably why he’s saying no to a lot of people asking for pictures.

Do you know the Chayden live stream? The one where Chris and Hayden are smoking and Chris went "we're in Chayden town!" Can you possibly link me to that bc I REALLY want to watch it but I'm not sure what I'm looking for you know? Thanks!

aaah I did some searching but couldn’t find it... I remember the video and I’ve seen it in gifs on here a bunch :/ Can anyone help?

Chris walked by but said he couldn't take a pic with me... rip

You and I and she and he are we, humanity will sing harmony

Black Cat Tour 2016

NEVER SHOUT NEVER AT LIVE 105 BFD 2016.

Okay, this is awkward but i just listented to the song "Black cat" for the first time and i don't really understand the meaning behind it.. Can you help?

I can try! I think the first verse is just about a cool cat haha… maybe he doesn’t exactly fit in (his Sunday best ain’t good enough for the rest of the world) but he’s just kind of passive, (waits in line) and does what he has to.

The complex disconfigured man & the investigator paints a pretty vivid picture of something ominous? But I don’t really get it myself haha

“The wonders of his mind” “chemical swirls” = drugs (hallucinogenics? something hard and mind-altering)

Now the song turns and the rest is all about war. The “black cat” who believes in peace is drafted into war. Like many wars (maybe specifically Vietnam?) this war seems to have no purpose and is kind of a mess, but he has to fight anyway. The peacekeeper becomes aware of this (veil being lifted = his new perception) and is killed (”The guts he had smothered on the ground”). Then his family gets a letter from the government saying that the soldier was killed fighting for America. The black cat’s nine lives ran out because he died.

This echoes a lot of anti-war songs that were popular in the 60s and 70s [like this one!] to me, and I think Chris was really inspired by them. I think he identifies with the black cat character (wearing penny loafers haha, not really fitting in, doing drugs to open his mind, just going with the flow) until the black cat gets sucked into war (which Chris hasn’t been in but clearly thinks about). 

Let me know if you have more specific lines you don’t understand! This was actually pretty fun to do haha. And if anyone can contribute some ideas go for it!

He said he chose the term black cat because it sounded cool, but at the same time it can be interpreted like the black sheep in the family… being a misfit, being different and not being able to fit in.

TAG YOURSELF

[nevershoutblog]

I’m going through my concert pictures and I never posted this beauty! My 5th time meeting Never Shout Never and they have never been lovelier. I gave them all valentines candy because the concert was the day before valentines day (Chris said thanks and something like “you fans always know how to hook us up” haha) And since it was a few days after Chris’ birthday I gave him a copy of the book The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury as a gift, which he seemed to like! I explained that at warped he said he loves short stories and I thought he’d like these. He thanked me a bunch and stuck it in the hidden pocket inside his jacket... stealthy boy. Then during the concert Chris kind of saw me in the crowd and recognized me like he does sometimes haha... This time he sang to me for a bit and then suddenly made a funny face and waved at me. I know I’m lucky to have met them but honestly I’m even more grateful just to have this band influence my life in the way they do... I love these guys a lot :)
