From the New York-based rock outfit's second album, "The Sun and the Moon"—which launched at No. 24 on The Billboard 200—the Bravery's "Time Won't Let Me Go" is quite the paradox: a lyric infused with melancholic nostalgia, whispering of "all these precious moments you promised me would come in time/So where was I when I missed mine"—yet the pop instrumental palette inescapably lifts spirits, forcing requisite head bopping, with "ba ba pa ba . . . ba ba pa ba" to the end. With top 15 stripes at modern rock and climbing, the Bravery's "Time" to cross to top 40 is nigh.—Marc D. Pelligrino
