PYRAMID PARK – ‘BORN TO BE BRAVE’
Welcome to 2018 as I slowly try to get to grips with new demands on my time. Following recent major changes to my daily routine I made a start on Hogmanay by posting about my intentions for the way ahead - I will wait to see what I can achieve in the future in that regard. After a brief hiatus since ceasing radio work I soon returned to selecting a 'track of the month', particularly for the amazing young 'Mayonnaise' team at TD1 Radio seeing as how I was no longer in a position to broadcast myself. My first selection for the new year is courtesy of the ever dependable Emma at 'http://www.plugginbaby.com/', it is 'Born to be Brave' from Cambridge band Pyramid Park from their current album 'Vulnerability'. Recorded in Glasgow at GloWorm Studios it seems perfect to start the year with its positive and uplifting lyrics coupled with a catchy and upbeat instrumental accompaniment. This truly is a motivational anthem for a troubled world – and don't we really need one!
“daring to be more than ordinary, I was born to be brave”
“taking the plunge into vulnerability”
“no more hiding, no more running away”
“I will stand my ground”
“show up and be seen, stand up and step out”
Pyramid Park's album reached number 1 in the UK Christian & Gospel iTunes chart and has since been named album of the week on Life FM, Switzerland, with plenty of airplay across the UK and beyond. They have recently returned from a short tour in Germany, with the band set to travel to New Zealand to play Festival One for the first time with more festivals in the UK and abroad set for 2018.
