Thao covers Bjork for SoS and The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
“I think it's incredibly important to share stories of recovery and hope. I think it should be collected and broadcast as often and frequently as we can, because you never know when someone can just tuck it away and access it at another time. The place that I am now is thankfully for me the lightest and freest I've ever felt in my life.
But I, I can't take credit for it, because unfortunately for me...it got to the point where it was untenable. There were just so many unsettled, unresolved things that I had, that just continued to be unresolved for my whole life. And especially within my adulthood and my professional career and “Temple,” which came out in May of 2020, it was the first time that I was out in my career. Which is funny because I'm in indie rock and nobody cares, but my conflict with it, the entire time was more to do with what my family wanted or didn't want as for me being out in public. And also all this internalized shame. I was such a divided person." - Thao

“If you ever get close to a human and human behavior
Be ready, be ready to get confused and me and my here after
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic to human behavior
But yet so, yet so irresistible and me and my fear can
And there is no map uncertain”
