Musical Philosopher Basil Simon Releases New Album “Dancing For The Money Man”

The album “Dancing For The Money Man” is due for release on August 10th. The title track of the Album “Dancing for the money man” will be the debut single release. It’s a song that has perfect timing for the times we live in in the western world. It has recieved wide support from listeners who believe the song reflects their current struggle through Austerity. The song has a chorus that goes “I run away I run away I run away” – it relates to those people who crumble under the pressure and find themselves turning to addiction in order to escape the realities of financial burden. He says about his first song from the album: “Everybody is running away from something in their minds! Many have childhood traumas that effect them for the rest of their lives. Many hide away in drug addiction such as alcohol, uppers, downers, nicoteen! Others eat far too much for comfort like me! Others don’t eat enough. A lot of people simply check out of hotel earth prematurely. There are so many people who choose not to face their demons. Others are finding new demons in particular economic hardship and pressure due to failing global economies. More and more traumatized minds are created each day. If you are running away from something in your life then I hope you find the strength to talk about it with others who understand. You are not alone. You can gain immediate help from our support forum at www.runaway.me I hope you enjoy this song.”

Basil Simon releases this album as a contribution to a new music genre he is pioneering, called “sophic music“. Sophic means “containing wisdom”. Basil believes that all good music needs its own section in life. Any song that is intelligently delivering lyrics of positivity, inspiration and solutions to common human issues is Sophic.

Basil is a musical visionary who believes in doing good through his music. Basil previously had an album out in 1997 called “Mindfield” which sold approximetely 50 000 copies through Snapper.
