This song was a crowd favorite when NEC played live, especially at “The Bitter End “ on Bleeker St. in the the Village. “Lonely Are The Brave”, along with “Never A Good Goodbye” were originally mixed by heavy weight engineer Frank Fillipetti but the “Lonely Are The Brave “ mix was accidentally destroyed at a duplication house. We went back in the studio and tried to recreate what Frank had done but we did not quite get there. This mix still holds it’s own however and I’m especially proud of the last solo section. The lyrics were inspired by the B&W film, “Lonely are the Brave” staring Kirk Douglas
