Brave by Josh Groban

There is simply no way to describe Josh Groban's voice except to say that it is pure music! I love his voice because of its depth and great warmth. His albums are well produced, with rich orchestrations that appeal to my classically trained ear.

Brave is one of my favourites from his sixth and latest album, All That Echoes, which was released February 5, 2013. Brave was released as a single in December, 2012. Lovely string accompaniments including among others, pizzacato violins and a harp, gorgeous back-up vocals, and timeless lyrics make this simply a beautiful track.

If you want MORE of Josh, he will be featured on the PBS concert series, Live from Lincoln Center,  "Josh Groban: All That Echoes" on April 12th at 9pm. "This special Live From Lincoln Center program was taped at The Allen Room at Lincoln Center on February 4th, 2013. The special will include live performances of songs from Josh's new album, All That Echoes, plus other popular favorites." You can read more about this here.

Brave by Josh Groban

Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long.
Reach out, reach out before it fades away.
You will find the warmth when you surrender.
Smile into the fear and let it play.

Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.

Hold on, hold on, so strong, time just carries on.
And all that you thought was wrong is pure again.
You can’t hide forever from the thunder.
Look into the storm and feel the rain.

Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.
When you stand uṗ and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.

O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh

Go on, go on…

Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.
