"The Mad Philosopher" is the sixth single from REC's 2024 album, Kite To Camden. It's indie acoustic pop rock, and it closes out the album.

​

If the first 13 songs of Kite To Camden could be heard as the fever dream of a guy trying to find clarity by drawing inward, this song ends the dream and brings him out of his cave and into reality, to give up looking for answers and just experience life and true connection. The lyrics talk about a madman hiding in a cave, being tempted to leave it, but too scared to give up the safety of isolation. You'll have to listen to the song to find out what he decides.
