“During the recent Britpop @20 celebrations, one fashionable evaluation that didn't change was that Menswear were just a bunch of chancers from Camden whose transitory success was down to hype rather than decent pop songs. 'Being Brave' is possibly the best counterargument . Consider how the tonic chord is held back till the sweeping chorus. By the time the rhythm of the strings accelerates towards the end of that prechorus, you're just begging to hear it - whether you realise it or not. It what gives the chorus (very simple in itself) that expansive feeling of release. Great pop songwriting!”
