Korn - Sean Olson [Lyrics Video]

[@PoisionedArtsMediaDartGun]

This song was on The Crow soundtrack & it started off as an instrumental Korn would play during their soundchecks. Sean Olson who did band duties for both Korn & Deftones would always want them to play it & maybe write some lyrics for it... That all happened & so they named the song after Sean Olson.

this song is a lot more fucked up then I thought

Something I love about KoЯη is that even though it is a well-known band, it is really a non-commercial one.

[@billrobertjoe]

Freak on a Leash? Got the Life? Falling Away From Me? Coming Undone?

[@7907-u8h]

Yup. So non commercial. So much infact, that we don't even speak about the fact that they uh... Uh... Literally clogged up a street because they decided to ride in a tank. Or.. or... Pulling in a crazy ass crowd of teenagers in NYC when they went for an interview. Yeah, wow. So non commercial 👌🤣

[@partypete4278]

My all time favorite Korn song

[@brianawest._]

In a 2010 interview with ARTISTdirect, frontman Jonathan Davis said: Sean Olson used to work for us. He was my tweaker buddy. He was just this funny ass character. The intro of the song is “What’s your lie?” He would always come up to me and say, “What’s your lie?” [Laughs] He hung out with us for a while. It’s hard going back and trying to remember what I was actually thinking at that time, but I know it was about Sean and I delving into that meth-induced, dark place. It really came out in that song.

[@omnipotent_ghost]

That’s so wild

[@verticalhamburger9517]

This was recorded for self-titled in 1994, but they ended up not putting it on the album so it became a B-side. But I do adore that snare David used on their first album.

[@thegame890]

I read somewhere that this song was titled as "Sean Olson" because he was Jonathan's friend. He did some drugs with him, bad trips which lead him to write these dark lyrics. The song itself is not about Sean Olson but rather about Jonathan's life.

[@justanothersckd9017]

Yes! Almost exactly what it's about.

[@thegame890]

Also I recall Jonathan does not exactly remember the original idea or his thoughts when he was writing this song, because it was such a long time ago and he was doing drugs.

[@jaseon619]

This is a first for me. It's not bad, honestly! I can say that, as a big fan of Korn, this definitely carries a tone that feels very Follow the Leader. It feels like that era. Distinct guitar styles and such. I do wish it were on Spotify, I would add it to my Metal list!
