Backstory:
Formed in the late 2010s in the small town of Keene, New Hampshire, Brave Discretion began as a group of childhood friends who found common ground through their love for music and storytelling. The band, composed of lead vocalist and guitarist, Thomas “Tommy” Hardy, drummer Ethan Reed, bassist Ryan Burke, and keyboardist Emily Sullivan, spent their early days practicing in Burke’s garage, honing their craft and creating a sound that was uniquely their own. Despite their diverse musical tastes, ranging from classic rock to contemporary indie, they managed to find a sound that was uniquely their own. Their breakthrough came in 2019 when they won a local battle of the bands competition, capturing the attention of a regional independent record label.

“Cautious Fire”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Waking up to the sound of rain,
Em7
Remembering your smile, chasing the pain,
Am7
The cautious fire in your eyes,
Dmaj7
Under the cold, winter skies.

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
We danced on the edge of discretion,
Em7
Lost in the moment, ignoring the tension,
Am7
In the quiet whispers of the night,
Dmaj7
You held me close, everything felt right.

[Chorus]
Gmaj7
But darling, in our brave discretion,
Em7
We found a love that needs no question,
Cmaj7
In your arms, I found my peace,
Dmaj7
In this silent war, we found release.

[repeat Verse 1 and 2, then Chorus]

[Bridge]
Am7
And when the dawn breaks,
Em7
We’ll hold onto our mistakes,
Cmaj7
Kissing them goodbye, with the rising sun,
Dmaj7
Our brave discretion, has just begun.

[repeat Chorus, then Bridge]
