First time I heard this song, I had to look up history on this and, I had no clue Jonathan Davis went through some mess growing up - obviously until I heard about it. First time I heard the last part, I actually teared up.

Was not the dad who abused him, was a babysiter, but both, stepmom and dad don't bilieved him... And the record of a woman singing in the was the only record of his biologic mother, the one who really loved him... And Jonathan said to the producer to keep rolling no matter what... Congratulations Sabina, you did it... Cheers from Brazil...

He was abused by his babysitter, who was a woman. The lady singing in the background is not Jonathan's mom. It's a singer named Judith Kiener. She's credited in the liner notes.

[@patkambhampati7730]

Boys get molested and raped by girls and women. But ALL care and compassion went to girls and women in human history. And then American and British Women turned this pattern into a full blown hatred and ignoring of the pain of men and boys. Yet we have this song that shows we exist. I had a similar experience to Davis when I was 12. It destroyed my personality for decades making me afraid of people. I only recognized it as happening and mattering at age 44 - over 30 years later. Apparently that is not uncommon for men and boys who were sexually abused. Yet ONLY Women and Girls matter. And men like Jonathan Davis are called scary and rapey and toxic masculinity by Feminists who helped ruin his life and the lives of many boys and men who just wanted to feel we mattered too. But we know we did not. Lowest on the totem pole or caste system of how much your live and feelings matter. With that, here is proof we exist - despite all the Feminist Mythology over a century of lies and hate. 1. Rape! Nothing bad should ever happen to women. Especially to white women! But other humans??? Fuck em. williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/press-releases/high-prevalence-of-sexual-victimization-detected-among-men-similar-to-prevalence-found-among-women-in-many-cases/ 2.

This is a very intense song, but reading through the comments in other reaction videos, many people have commented saying this song saved their life because they went through the same experience as a child, and this song showed them they were not alone. It took JD over 20 years to perform it live.... and it went as expected, but his band was there to help him through it. The band is a group of truly amazing people to be so supportive.

@@sabina1118 not only that, but another little fact about this historic song: the first time it was recorded, he told the producer to keep going no matter what happened because he would not be able to do more than 1 take of it.

Thank you so much for doing this song. It's brutal. His actual abuser was a female babysitter. Mine was my mom. She passed 3 years ago, so I can finally be open about it. I never felt shame, but the rage took decades to get over. This song expresses that so well. To anyone who has experienced this, it's okay to feel like that. The real challenge is what to do with those feelings and all that energy. Bet on yourself and find positive ways to use it to your benefit. There is a path to happiness. It's just a rough and long road.✌️

[@Fraxxxi]

from an article about the song: [Lead vocalist Jonathan] Davis recounted to Rolling Stone that he didn’t even realize that his insanely raw emotions were being captured to tape at the time: “It was just a special moment that I did not know was being recorded, for one, because Ross [Robison, album producer] is a prick and kept the fuckin’ tape running.” Korn bandmate Brian “Head” Welch weighed in: “It was one of the most intense things I ever witnessed in my life. It was so crazy; I thought he was joking at first ’cause he was really bawling and everything. But it was very, very intense.” For all of the raw wounds that were in the studio, though, this actually helped the band bond in a strange way, with everyone embracing Davis after his vocals were finished to make sure he was still on stable ground.

[@mountainpeakcloud8442]

As a middle aged man who's only recently started to deal with the childhood molestation I experienced by a man that worked in the building we lived in, this song is very difficult to listen too, but my feelings are also validated by it. I spent a life time burying my shame and disgust with myself, because of growing up in an environment where boys were taught not to cry, not to express feelings and emotions, and being told not to be a "pussy", which ended in me acting out in violent ways, always getting into fight, trusting no one, passive suicide attempts, and getting deep into heroin and alcohol as a way to numb my feelings. The pain and anger of the loss of my childhood innocence, the feeling of being taken advantage of, is something that continually haunts me, has deeply affected my relationships in my past, and something I've dealt with by numbing my feelings. I have also accumulated other traumatic experiences as a child, like being in a country with a massacre born out of political unrest (hiding in our home with the sounds of gun and tank fire in the background, hoping the bullets won't pierce our windows and the tank shells don't hit our building... and having to flee in the middle of the night, through streets littered with dead bodies. Thankfully I made it through those experiences, have a loving family, and in therapy to deal with my trauma. Music like this is very important, and a band that got me through a lot as a teen was Alice in Chains... being able to hear them express emotions through their music and lyrics that I could connect with meant everything to me. I didn't have therapy as a kid, but I did have my music, which I believe saved my life. I know that a lot of kids go through very traumatic experiences, so I am really grateful that there is so much more awareness about this these days, and so many more resources now compared to when I was a kid.

i have trauma dissociative amnesia. i’m not sure if it was my dad, but something certainly happened with an older male that my body blocked off before i could process it. it still affects me today. this song unlocks some of that pain, and often times i listen to it before therapy to try and break through that amnesia barrier that my mind set up and unlock those traumatic memories so i can process them. the first time i listened to this i had a meltdown, it’s so hard to listen to this without becoming emotionally vulnerable and sharing the his pain just a little bit. not only that, but the cover hits hard, too. the way his crying keeps going for an extended amount of time with barely any additional instrumental is so eerie. i love korn so much. it’s nice to be able to relate your emotions to music, especially regarding such a traumatic event.

[@gandalainsley6467]

You should try to remember small details from the experience, a small detail can make you remember everything. I had a similar experience and I actually thought that my older brother assaulted me for years but there was a small detail that made no sense. The person's neck veins pushed out way too much. Took me 19 years to find out what actually happened. Turned out it was wrong place wrong time situation. When I was 5 I just happened to be outside when a weird teenager(my brother automatically had name when I mentioned neck veins. Dude must had left a pretty big impression) who had only been in the place I was living at the time once and supposedly he never was there again. My brother showed him to me on instagram and I know it was the guy because of the same exact neck veins and all the memories came up. Then I got sick , nearly puked and now I think I am fine. I do have panic attacks from certain level of a physical contact though.

many wonder about this song, Jonathan suffered the abuse. Jonathan asked that nobody stop playing and even though he was crying and screaming after remembering the trauma the others didn't stop playing, Producer Ross Robinson thought about removing the audio but then gave up and left it all in the final mix and that's what we hear. This song was banned from radio for the lyrics and I think it was played a few times live (last time played in 2015) because Jonathan always leaves the stage

Seeing the video of the recording session hurts to watch. Just hearing his pain is gut retching, but seeing the break, I can't describe it.

Although like I said, over a decade so I could miss remember.)

[@mythoughts5615]

Track is so powerful!!! I didn't experience sexual abuse but my parents would take turns beating me. Started before I can even remember and went on till I was 13. It only stopped because I hung myself but fortunately my grandma came over because i wasn't at school.when she came to have lunch with me. She walked upstairs as soon as I stepped off the sink. That was 14 years ago and I'm living my best life now. Don't be ashamed if you're having thoughts of suicide. It's ok and nothing to be ashamed of so don't let it stop you from getting help.

It takes a brave musician to write and perform a song which describes his own personal abuse. For me, this is a personal means by which some steps towards partial closure can be achieved. But, the memory of such awful events will be difficult to fully erase. There are many people out there who themselves have been victims of such traumatic events which may not have been judicially acted upon. Some years ago, I dealt with a case involving some people who who had been the victims of abuse at a care home. Believe me, this song only scratches the surface of the pain and suffering that victims endure. To read witness statements of the victims as well as various psychiatric reports is in itself harrowing. In fact I almost felt as though I was the victim. Sabina…this was a very brave song to play on your channel…to share the pain and suffering of a rock musician with your audience. For that I absolutely applaud you. To also share your emotions was another brave act. Once again you have demonstrated your abilities to elevate yourself above other reaction channels, and to provide something personal that other channels would steer clear of. Kudos to the subscribers who sat through this emotional rollercoaster. 🙏🙏

Hi Sabine. Nice to see you react to this great song. Powerful song. Based on real events that happened to Jonathan vocalist (Actually 90% of all the songs are like that) that is why he is the best, in his lyrics and interpretation. It had to be that way to hear it reach everyone with the strength it has. That's why the producer lets the recording run until the end. That's why you can still hear how in the final seconds they open the door of the recording booth where Jonathan is until he leaves, and in the same way the band finishes the song and continues making those "arrangements" and it is to let all the feeling flow. Powerful song. Powerful album, it's a masterpiece. Actually all the songs and album up to Take a look in the mirror are masterpieces. For me, eye. I'm a korn fan since Life is peachy. Great album too. Anyway, I obviously recommend that you keep listening to more of korn. That same self-titled album is full of good songs, Faget is another, ball toungue, is another, etc. Everything. Other good songs that I recommend are Alone i break, thoughtless, counting on me. Regards.

The whole "Korn" album is a kind of therapy regarding chilhood trauma from the most common, like being bullied at high school, until sexual abuse. After so many years and so many listens this song still so brutal due to the rawness and the ending. This song was never played live until the 20th anniversary of the album release.

Such a brutal song. I grew up in this era of korn they were definitely my favourite. Jon Davis was and arguably will always br my favourite singer as noone was able to push the limit of emotion like him. As a messed up teen I just wanted to connect with any emotion so badly. I never completely healed from being that teen nor did I forget my childhood. I just found better ways to cope and let forgiveness in. I was able to see my abuser many years later and talk normally with them. In that hour I dissected them inside and turned them into the biggest joke, I turned a monster into a fool. And from that moment I turned them into the trash they are, discarded them and moved on. So purifying. Stay strong everyone.

[@altarwork]

Thanks for your reaction. I used to listen to Korn all the time when I was in Highschool because by his lyrics, I knew the lead singer Jonathan had been through the same kinda things I have. I knew he felt what I felt every day and was still alive. So I knew I could stay alive too. Since then Jesus found me and has healed me so much. I hope this comment gives hope to anyone who’s been through it too. Also, this reaction gave me more hope for humanity. You’re such a sensitive and caring woman and that’s so beautiful. The world needs more women like you.

Outside the clear importance of this song to those who have also veen through a similar traumatic experience, it is also an important song to understand KoRn's music, particularly JD's lyrics across many of his songs. It puts a different level of understanding when he releases his emotions in to his music, covering many issues, challenges & feelings. I think it's an incredible piece of art & something that sets the metal genre apart from most other genres - it's safe to cover any topic & by doing so gives a platform & relationship to those who go through similar struggles or challenges in life.

Literally the woman who you heard singing is his stepsister. It's literally the song she used to calm him down as a child. The rest of the band came in and comforted him even though he told them not to.

[@voodood907]

Thank you for doing this song. This album came out on my 4th birthday and a year later i fell victim to SA and it continued for quite a while. But first heard this song at 8

[@vinniedixon1140]

The most brutally raw song you can ever listen to. First time I heard this, it hit really fkn hard & I will admit that I thought I'd heard it all until I listened to this. Jonathan Davis has my utmost respect for doing this song.

[@sabina1118]

Yes, this is so freaking brave

[@jasonregister3494]

That woman's voice you hear is his stepsister. She would sing that very song to help calm him down after an episode of abuse.

[@ulventorden5293]

This is sooo brutal and real. This song breaks me every time even though I've worked through my trauma. My abuser is currently in prison after he was caught red handed with another young victim. But it would have never happened if adults would have believed me the first time. My parents believed me but others did not and it ultimately got dropped without a court date or anything.

I got this album when it vame out. I felt the anger of the album. But it didn't make me sad until i confronted my dad, my mom sat on the couch as i called him out. She just read her book. I hated him, but was angry at her. I'm a lot older now, and talk to my mom. I didn't realize at the time how much she, too, was abused by him. Being able to commiserate with this song helped me get through the anger, and not feel so alone in my pain (as much as i wish no one else ever had to feel it, i appreciate that people can share their experiences and help each other deal with it). Thank you for the video

[@ozone5150]

Music like this saved my life! I have realized that the pain that was caused was not my fault!

This is art. Expressing emotions through a medium and healing collectively ♥️😭🙏

I was molested by my step dads friend who he left me in charge of while he was out getting beer, it took 20 years to finally let it out but it consumed me inside for so long, now I am a step father myself and won’t ever let anything happen to him or let someone ruin his childhold, this song I discovered in my teens and in a way I knew that I was not alone and gave me strength. Korn was the hand that led the blind for all those years so thank you boys❤

[@thebrownacid9027]

Jonathan Davis actually said in an interview that it's not about his dad. that it was a family friend. that's why the lyric says, I'll be your daddy...

[@humanbeingfromearth]

trauma music is my childhood music. when ur a kid who isnt supposed to express yourself, music helps. music is nice cause you can listen to it by yourself and be completely vulnerable, and feel the passion in the recording. korn is very passionate music, in its own way

[@zairythree3eight579]

This is one hardest and powerful sing.. I listen a long long time ago.. the lyric, voice, emotion effects me..But, Wow, u dit it.. What a brave.. 👍

[@sabina1118]

Thank you ❤️🙏🏻

[@robertalanis614]

There is one more song like this on their second album called Kill you.Very intense, raw emotion!

[@pustulio81]

It doesn't matter what you feel, as long as it made you feel SOMETHING. If it managed THAT, then it did its job.

[@MSDLT0XIC]

this is a song i cant often listen too because i know his pain but i cant help but appreciate the reactions that this song gets my first listen i was emotionally destroyed

[@Heiryuu]

i was peer pressured into not listening to korn by some of the other metal head kids back in middle school, so i never listened to korn much it was always kind of a joke that they were just being edgy... i think if i had heard this song back then i don't think i would have thought that but then i was a middle schooler that grew up in a pretty okay home. so maybe i wouldn't have understood the subject matter, i certainly didn't understand what some of their more popular songs were about

[@aparajitbarman]

This is a difficult song but very true. I discovered Korn when I was in eighth grade and this song made me realize that I was molested by a neighbour when I was 6 years old,that would be 1993! Man I have never told this to anyone. Thank you for reacting Sabina, all my love and appreciation, thank you again.

[@BrickNewton]

Please talk to someone about this, make sure you get the help you need to be able to process this. It's taken me nearly 40 years to get help and I wish I had done it sooner

[@martinatzejensen6787]

Welp, you got through it. Well done. As I commented on a previous video, it's not a particularly good number musically or lyrically. But it's as raw as it gets and serves it's purpose of expressing the thoughts and feelings of the victim. But now the worst of Korn is behind you and you can move on to some of the "prettier" stuff, if you're up for more. :)

[@riffgroove]

Yeah, this song was quite the rude shock at the time. Over 20 years later, you still take a beating listening to it.

[@hamishgibson9084]

Korn helped me trough so many life struggles I was bullied a lot and Korn helped me so much to stand up for myself and be right to be angry

WOW! you did it! well done, very brave of you

[@sabina1118]

I did! I was prepared by you all, but oh my gooooddddd.... 😭😭😭

[@twitchfixer1344]

@@sabina1118 you made a good point that men need to know this message too. speaking as someone who survived something like this there is a strange stigma that it can't or doesn't happen. but getting the anger and pain out, crying and healing is true. what I love is that this song exists making people going through this don't feel alone, it can save lives not just mine

[@hammercrg]

It’s horrible what happened to Jonathan and this did to him, there are many other forms of abuse to kids such as physical violence and mental abuse etc. that can do as much damage as well . I always thought that PTSD was something that was due to war and what it did to our country’s soldiers. After talking many to someone about myself I was told I have ptsd, I relive it several times a week and I remember every single detail from those experiences like they are happening that minute. I always felt like it was my fault and I deserved it, I still struggle with it today and cry like a child every time that happens, It’s got better but I cannot forget it, and I want to so bad.

[@SleepyGoldfish1983]

i have this song on my regular playlist but i skip it sometimes, because i a,m cannot stand it anytime, but sometimes it creates some teardrops on my cheeks, sometimes it invites me to watch more and more and plenty of people are*nt able to reproduce those feeelings

[@batthefat3952]

Hi my lady, I already reacted to "The Pot" (TOOL) few minutes ago, and continued to discover your videos... This band, KoRn, like the 3 other ones I already mentionned on the comments of your video reaction of "The Pot", marked my youth, especially this first album. New style, new approach, I was, like many other people at this time (1994) I guess, waiting to a band like this. Their now 30 years story is really interesting, and even essential to understand what "neometal" means (they're the inventors of this musical genre, that became "numetal"... I don't know why, but it's another story...) I don't know your knowledges of musical theory, and I don't care, your analysis is smart, sensitive and fair. As you already said, music, and art more generally, are made to giving us emotions, even enormous , even disturbing, even sometimes unacceptables for ourselves. But it cures. Keep going, continue to discover. Best regards from France. P.S: sorry in advance if my english is not perfect

[@oeheaven]

It is a hard song to listen to especially when you have had it happen to you. I think we are in a state of evolution where we can understand a lot of information but still can not fully understand our emotions.

[@alyssafelix5970]

I'm sure this hits every person who's listened to it differently, but when you know first hand what it's like to have your innocence (the most beautiful thing about children) taken away and mommy not give a f*uck it brings out a lot of pent up emotion at least it did for me. I was 2 when my mom's boyfriend took my innocents away then proceeded to help him get away when my uncle's and his friends wanted to "handle" it themselves (beat his disgusting a**). I was a young teen when I first heard this and it tore my soul apart but also made me realize I'm not the only person with trauma. It helped!

[@Eric_William_Moore]

You should do "Dreadul Hours" by My Dying Bride. It is one of the most difficult songs to listen to but done to musical perfection.

[@metal00carn]

I'm 8 days late. But I'm glad both my and many others warning about this song somewhat prepared you as well as you could. But that's still about the reaction I expected. You were asking how the band was reacting to it.. well they were told to keep playing and keep recording but eventually towards the end you can hear the door to the booth that Johnathan was doing his vocals in open. It's one of the guitarists coming in to hug and console Johnathan who is now slumped down into a corner of the booth sobbing.

[@UltraViolent21]

This happened to me for years as a child. I didn’t tell anyone until I was 27. I couldn’t talk about it because I didn’t want people to think I was gay. My mom still downplays it. I’m a guy. I’m just supposed to suck it up and move on. Women get attention. Men get nothing.

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

I read a long time ago that while recording, Jonathan broke down at the end of laying down the vocals and they kept the tape rolling and it's on the album.

[@invertedlxxk5650]

I never experienced abuse like in this song but Korn was my favorite band when I was 11-15 years old and this song always made me feel emotional the pain in his voice is so raw

[@christophparsons1729]

This song is the most brutal form of catharsis survivors go through. I have such a love/hate relationship with it. Thank you for going through this.

[@stevejohnson9234]

This song hurt,hurt so bad as my wife was abused by her dad when she was a teenager and I never totally understood what she went through 😢

[@fredialbora3966]

There is no better way to portray mental violence. A transportable therapy. Because the inner cry is the loudest of all. I myself am grateful to this band because a lot of similar things have happened in my environment. Your reaction makes me speechless in a positive sense! Thank you for that! In particular, the end of the song is crucial for me. An allegory of reversed character, which makes an open ending possible!

[@robotbendyandfriends5494]

I went through this and that’s why I trust no one , to top it off my home was burglarized by someone who claimed they loved me they burglarized my home and took my pets and now I’m trying for dear life not to end my life , my pets were everything to me n now there gone . I have nothing and no one and trying to cooe
