Marillion - Brave

Brave is a 1994 concept album by British band Marillion, featuring vocalist Steve Hogarth. The record is based on the true story of an amnesiac girl found wandering on the Severn Bridge in England, exploring her fragmented memories and trauma.

The album Brave was produced by Dave Meegan, who spent a massive amount of time meticulously crafting the layered soundscapes. The band recorded the album in a remote French chateau to isolate themselves and focus entirely on the conceptual narrative.

The album concludes with a massive 12-minute epic track titled "The Great Escape." This song serves as the emotional climax of the narrative before leading into a hidden, atmospheric instrumental outro.

Yes, to accompany the album, Marillion commissioned a feature-length film adaptation titled "Brave" directed by Richard Stanley. The movie visually depicts the bleak, psychological story of the album's main character and was released in 1994.
