The single failed to chart in Ireland and Scotland, despite debuting at number fifty on the UK chart. A third single, " No One", was released in the UK on 5 February 2012 to coincide with the album release. "I Need" debuted at number eighteen on the UK chart, Sabre's second consecutive release to achieve this feat, also peaking at number thirty-two on the Irish chart and number twenty-four on the Scottish chart - higher than the peak of the previous release. The track was succeeded by " I Need", first released as the second single from Lonely Are the Brave on November 4, 2011.
The song also peaked at number thirty-eight on the Irish chart and number twenty-seven on the Scottish chart. It debuted at number sixteen on the UK chart, marking Sabre's second top forty single after " Jungle" which peaked at number thirty-one. " Let Me Go" was first released in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2011 as the lead single from Lonely Are the Brave. And, because I thought it also summed up a lotta the emotion behind this album - particularly in terms of where I was at when I was writing a lotta the songs - I just felt as a title it fitted the project really well." Critical reception ĭigital Spy gave the album 4 stars out of 5 stars - "But while his voice may sound part- Amy Winehouse, part- Daniel Merriweather, few could accuse him of leaning on others his first collection of self-penned tracks is both brutally opinionated and unnervingly honest."

Lonely are the brave movie#
Speaking in December 2011, Sabre explained his reasons for titling the album 'Lonely Are The Brave': "'Lonely Are The Brave' was actually the title of an old movie that I first heard about when I was really young - around 12 or 13 - and I actually thought the feeling captured in that one phrase was amazing, because I feel everybody at some point in their lives needs to be brave to get through loneliness. It has sold 251,020 copies as of November 2015. Lonely Are the Brave debuted at number-two on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 44,292 copies, also peaking at number two on the Scottish Albums Chart and number three on the Irish Albums Chart.
Three singles preceded its release, " Let Me Go" (July 2011), " I Need" (November 2011) and " No One" (February 2012). The album was first released on 27 January 2012 in Ireland, which was succeeded by a release in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2012. Very much a band of their time, Lonely the Brave will doubtless be huge in a year or two anyway, and this provides a credible, if slightly wet, statement of intent.Lonely Are the Brave is the debut studio album by English/ Irish vocalist/ rapper Maverick Sabre. Unfortunately, much of The Day's War relies too heavily on overly familiar chord sequences and featherweight angst, and it swiftly becomes hard not to yearn for a dash of the Biffy boys' brutish angularity to toughen things up a bit. At their best, they nail this tricky balancing act with the skill of shrewd veterans: both Trick of the Light and The Blue, the Green have huge, fists-in-the-air choruses, and only the hardest of hearts could resist the brittle emoting of Victory Line or the elegant sentiment and sombre gait of Dinosaurs.
Much like their most obvious forebears Biffy Clyro, this Cambridge quartet specialise in anthems designed to fill arenas, but with a very pointed caveat that what they do remains several proud steps away from well-worn mainstream rock tropes. E merging from the dewy-eyed haze found between the shimmering guitars of shoegaze and the winsome bluster of post-hardcore, Lonely the Brave sound very much like a band with both integrity and success high on the agenda.
