Lyric / Exposition
Ooh Ooh(look at the Tao Way, look at the Tao Way)
Chorus*
Go for the Tao Way Ah ah
It is the right way Ah ah
Formless as I say Ah ah
Look for the Tao Way
Look at the Tao Way ( ah) but You cannot see it
Its name is as it says now Without Appearance
Listen to it now, No! You cannot hear it
Its name is Soundless, hey try to feel it , ( ah ah aha)
Grasp it but you cannot ever get it so go the Tao Way
(ooh ooh)
Its name is formless for you cant reach it,
These 3 are the main essence of the Inscrutable Tao Way
Therefore Tao blends together and all becomes One
So then its upper side is not as bright for you cannot see it so
Look at the Tao Way, but you cannot see it ( ah ah)
Repeat Chorus *

The Characteristics of 9D Sound Mix
Chapter 14: Look at the Tao Way is diligently composed for foreign audiences to convey our sincerity by showing our different styles and regional musical cultures which are put together in Global Songs of Tao Teh Ching. Through the interpretation of foreign pop songs styles, we hope to express our commitments to the promotion of Sino-foreign cultural exchanges, to deepen the understanding of Tao Teh Ching among races and to promote universal brotherhood.
Imitating the bustling feel of Manhattan metropolitan nightlife as the story background, the song adapts relaxed rhythms of R & B to interpret the core values of Tao Teh Ching in a new way. We believe that song melody of foreign style resonates with foreign audiences frequency of blood circulation and heart beats.
On editing the sound mix, we have deliberately created an atmosphere of environmental sound effects which permeates into Manhattan metropolitan nightlife of fashionable ladies minds and souls so as to reveal that they enjoy the superiority of success. We have inserted the extra elements into 9D sound mix and environmental sound effects, such as the braking sounds of sport cars, the acclamations of other upon successful arrival of road transport and the flashlight sounds of cameras shooting photographs with attractive ladies. This increases the confidence of the audiences upon hearing. Particularly, when randomized beats of African drums are added, it increases the audiences spiritual belief. This is motivating and eventually strengthens the degree of relaxation of the song.
At the same time, the interactions among various musical instruments and the co-ordination of human voices with audio frequencies produce imaginary feels

of the flickering gleams of light as diamonds as if the audiences were standing in fantastic metropolitan night scenes. This deliberately pushes the effects of human voices up in order to strengthen the extension of hearing domain and to incite the audiences to enhance self-confidence. In addition, a round of applause makes the audiences feel like being at the scene. Other bouncing modes of percussion instruments are arranged in patterns as drawn in the book He Tu Luo Shu (Chinese traditional philosophy of yi li patterns from ancient times) to show the dynamic qualities of audio framework to support the entire song.
The song Look at the Way has the function of targeted music therapy to the audiences who lack confidence, dejected and depressed. The brisk paces, cheers, applauses and yells activate the audiences senses of happiness, recognition and superiority at heart so that they can face the society with confidence and self to perceive the teachings of Tao Teh Ching
