TAO by Shad
The word “TAO” in Chinese means “The Way.” As in the way of living that conforms to the truths of the moral universe, nature, etc. TAO is also an acronym for The Abolition Of, the book by CS Lewis, which is what we risk (the abolition of man/ourselves) if we lose fully touch with these aspects of our humanity.
Each song on the album is about a different part (or parts) of our humanity/humanness we’ve slowly been losing touch with.
