Taoism vs Confucianism
Taoism:
Tao in Taoism regulates natural processes, and nourishes balance in the universe. It is also refer to as a power that envelops, surrounds, and flows through every living and non living things. Taoism is a combination of psychology and philosophy that change to a religious faith.
Confucianism believes in ritual, propriety, etiquette, love with in the family, righteousness, honesty, trustworthiness, benevolence, humaneness, and loyalty.
I think that Confucianism and Taoism is pretty similar because Taoism is created by a contemporary Confucius named Lao-Tse which seems to me that since both are created by a Confucius, then there are more similarity than differences.

Heres the addition, well Since it is hard to find a song for Taoism, I found a site that contains songs of Taoism which is from the following site:HTTP://www.taoism.net/html.html
Even though the songs are in a different language, I will try to tell you what the song means.
The name of the song is Wishing by Dan Yuan.
The song is saying Taoism gives a person a new view and show them directions to their life and in the end, Taoism has made history and show its strengths.

1. Confucianism was a system of ethics meant for Chinese bureaucrats while Taoism was mostly a religion for old men (and presumably women, although in those days that was rare). People basically took up Taoism to prepare themselves for death, although that's not 100% because the main pursuit of Taoism was finding the elixir of immortality.

2. Confucianism emphasized the importance of tradition, preset rules and respect for authority, and it had very little mystical components.

Taoism was far more esoteric and philosophical. The most important concept in Taoism is the idea of "Wu Wei" which can be translated to English as "non-resistance". It didn't necessarily mean pacific ism though, it just insisted that people shouldn't try to change things to suit their needs, but rather try to live with them as they are (ex. don't cut a tree to build a house, but rather build a house so the tree is a part of the surrounding).

Confucian: be respectful to your elders.
Taoism: be aware of all things living.
