I have been a lifelong KoRn fan since 1997 and how you explained Jon's scating at 4:40 was the most profound way I've ever heard it. Wow!
This is the first time I have ever heard him referred to as Jon and not Johnathan
I am right there with you. I feel like we understood it on spiritual level, but ever would have been able to put it in words.
@@FurlongStrongPersonalWell, Twist is a testament to what she was saying, because as Life Is Peachy was rolling around, they (the record label) wanted a song that they could use as a single, no swearing, inoffensive, simple beat, oh and do that cool scat thing you did on the first record etc., so Korn wrote and sent them Twist, which is entirely just Jonathan doing scat and saying Twist in the middle and end over a funky beat. 😂
nah she made it up, no explanation for the scanting, it is just KORN's way and nothing else
Exactly... We've always felt this part of Jonathan's singing like freedom, like permission of being ourselves, but never had the capacity of putting it in words like she so masterfully did ❤
You were exactly spot on with everything he was saying in this song. (I grew up listening to korn religiously)
This was an amazing breakdown of this video and you definitely earned a subscriber
Interesting thoughts about the scat singing part! The stuff about creation reminds me a lot about Kurt Vonnergut's famous quote, that goes something like "Practice any art, […] no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow."
As a therapist, I guess it would be interesting for you to check out Korn's song Daddy. But be aware, it's about child abuse, and it can be quite traumatic for an unprepared listener. It's extremely intense, to say the least!
😢 aww dude you're so right about this. It's a punch in the gut times 100. I heard it a while back. Soon as I found her video. Seeing that she is a therapist then started rescting to korn. This song "daddy" popped in my mind. Ouch. There is some pain in that one.
Found your channel last week and love it. You're able to dissect it rather quickly from your professional angle. If you dive deeper into Korn, there's some interesting and disturbing nuggets for you to unravel. Keep up the work, and it's definitely a new fan here
"Let the Dark do the Rest" by Korn is a great song about darkness and optimism that would be great for you to react to!
Omg she nailed it!! The first reaction I’ve seen when you just get it.. really cool to watch someone just get it… I’ve been listening to them since i was 12 and this is an amazing take on Freak on a Leash. Slipknot n Chop Sui yesssssss!!!!! ❤
“Got the life” is one of my favorites off this album.
just subbed. I love that you're reacting to some fire songs I grew up with in the 90s and breaking it down.
This has always been 1 of my gym songs. The be boop and GO increase the rage I needed for those last few reps
Korn is interpersonal reflection maxing. And a band that started a new category of music that I've loved for a long time.
with GO....the wall broken❤😍🥁
You should also check out "Y'all Want a Single" which is their true feelings towards the music industry since I believe at the time they were having contract disputes or something along those lines when the album "Take a Look in the Mirror" came out.
True, i use rap/poetry against the pain that defines me, i have years of material to touch on though lol positivity out of the negativity
You have to do pt2 Falling Away From Me, serious mental health message!
I once created something that to proof myself that I can, my vision is open, I got more confident and have purpose of life knowing atleast what I love to do. Then I messed up, got humiliate, aggravated on my mistake, decline my apologise, judge me who I am , got rejected and kick out while I confused what the f is going on. Deep down I feel from what happened is unfair that I don't have human right to fight back and explain, I don't have skill to know right time and right place back then so I been naive on bully but put my anger on the one who care me instead. All I can do to ease my pain from past trauma is blame people back then it's they fault. But another part of me still want to believe it's not that person fault.
Idk, I confused with these feeling, is it's a sign that I should forget about them because deep down Idk what intention why they be good to me or should I still believe that person all what happened is just misunderstood and hope that we can understand one day. But that day will never come since I can't contract that person anymore, last conversation is a heavy right side, maybe I want to talk with them again with the difference perspective, apologise again and hearing that they receive my apologise. What ever the end is, so I can move forward without throw away my dream together with my past.
From TheTogah: @applejag_panzer8963 Thanks so much for being here.
It can be so hard to know what to do about the past. It can also feel like part of us is stuck there if we don't do something about it.
One thing that helps me the most in these situations is asking myself if I have truly changed, and if my perspective is truly different. From there if the answer is yes, and I find myself wanting to apologize I strongly consider doing so but also realize that the other person's answer could be accepting, or positive, or it could be something negative depending on their perspective and how they feel. If I can accept whatever result may come I will usually reach out, if I can't I move forward knowing that I have changed for the better and it eases some of that pain I have internally.
But, I think that you have the best answer to that in yourself! Whatever you decide we are here to support you! Stay strong and great job coming to a better perspective regardless of what you choose to do with this.
From Micro: @applejag_panzer8963 I do hope that you will find some closure regarding what happened, whether it would be through honest communication with this person, or on your own. It sounds like this conflict felt like a real downfall on your end, and I can only imagine how difficult it was to feel all these conflicting emotions. If anything, it's only human but to reject the fault on others, especially when we feel like we're having no support or no room to make mistakes. Sometimes we fail, and it's hard to look at that reality without feeling a huge sense of discomfort, which can sometimes turn out to be expressed through anger and pushing others away.
Through all of this, I hope you will also forgive yourself. I don't know the specifics of your situation of course, but you absolutely deserve to give yourself some grace and be patient with yourself. I understand personally how painful it can be to carry on struggles of your past with you. As if there's just on way to find any healing or closure regarding what happened - it keeps on chasing you like your own shadow, and you can't run away from it either.
If anything, we believe in you here and in your ability to heal from what happened, step by step. It's not a sudden process, but you're asking the right questions and there is a real opportunity there for you to learn from what happened, heal, and reinvest into your dreams at the same time. :heart:
the grunting humming noises are just a mix of beatbox skat in a sort of techhno heavy metal style , thats all
Falling away from me is a good one too
Wow that William Wallace speech! Let's go!
Please react to Thoughtless by Korn!
Its such a powrful song and music video!!
Been a very long time since I've seen the video. I miss David Silveria. Most people dont pay attention to him but his drumming was part of the original Korn beats. I was lucky enough to get one of his signature drum sticks. It's too bad he never rejoined the band.
Been a "Korn nutt" since I saw them at Jerry's pizza when they were still testing songs for 1st album. Watched Davis meltdown during "Daddy" broke my heart
There is no words it’s called scatting they do it in jazz too
Korn - BLIND will be good.
You gotta check DADDY also from korn .. very dark one
New to your channel and I like your input/dissection/analysis/reaction on the videos i have seen so far. I haven't looked through your complete catalogue yet but have to ask if you have reacted to Therapy? Yet? (The band title has a question mark at the end, so that wasn't 2 questions).
Therapy? Have some great songs dealing with issues around depression and inferiority complexes, i would recommend the albums 'Troublegum', 'Nurse', 'Babyteeth' and 'Pleasure Death' as a starting point.
Please try Dead Inside by Muse, I think you would love the lyrics.
Not sure if you have learned more about korn since this video, but this song has nothing to do with "the music industry". You should look up what KORN is a acronym for. It will help you learn what this song is really about.
the song ''Falling away from me'' is a direct followup from this video if your interested then you see how real they are with topics. edit warning with the song Daddy ppl will suggest that really fast and scare ppl away from korn cause thats not a song its a expression of pain. worth it to listen to but its the darkest song i ever heard. but check the wiki on that one.
Yeah I'm gonna add to this, this is a real warning, don't go into it blind unless you want a real honest reaction to it. It's HARROWING. Seriously. Like, TW for child sa. Guy went through it then sang about it and legit breaks down while it's recorded and the band keeps on playing. You have been warned, I hope you read your comments
Yeah as much as i like a honest reaction without research, these peeps are right, mostly agree with the "scare away" part, i wouldnt suggest listening to that track too early, but definetly react to it at some point.. Fair warning though its a bit difficult
@TheBunnyb0y I like an honest reaction without research, but Daddy is not a song that should be reacted to without research. Firstly because you do need to be prepared for that song. Secondly because it's not a song where you have to go searching for the secret hidden meaning (you could read into "when I awake" at the end, and how there is a religious undertone of that song and the main song, and how they fight each other. Or you could read into how "when I awake" is about waking up and seeing a face, and how a lot of survivors of child SA will relate to being woken up in the night). But the rest is not very hidden message kinda lyrics.
I do think it would be interesting to hear a therapists thoughts on this song, but that's because it is such an important song for me.
I watched a video about “daddy” in particular, apparently the band recorded all the instrumental bits to the song and Davis did the vocals last and told the band NOT to interrupt it, they had absolutely no clue what the song was going to be about and were crushed when he broke down
@user-wt2zo6xd6f I think the band didn't know that the song had such meaning to JD, but they had played and recorded the song together before. A version of Daddy is on Korns demo "Neidermeyer's Mind".
The demo version is quiet different, and not as emotionally charged (to put it mildly). So I think the band knew what the song was about, but until it became obvious that the song was incredibly personal to Jonathan, they had no idea of the significance.
You nailed the meaning with the music industry, thats exactly what the song is about.
The sequel to this song "Falling Away From Me" will be perfect for you to react to.
😂😂 nice joke
@yt_dubsss5959 not a joke 🤣 the singer explains it. Korn is the soundtrack of my life.
100%
Don’t listen to daddy because it will make you cry
No it isn't 😂
The Korn rabbit hole is a fun one. They are legends.
It's all fun, and then you come across "daddy"
Oooh... I like that. The scat section being the creation of something nobody else can understand, thus nobody can take away from him. That's deep! Very insightful!
‘’If you are able to create art, you are able to create hope’’ i just loved that
I second this. The Renaissance alone was based on this principle.
korn has helped me alot in the last 20 years. i think it saved me from really hurting myself physically. i think you understand if you hear more songs from korn. the lyrics and expression is pure.
Korn is great. i am glad they can help so many people
.. most of korn song is about loneliness and depression..
Same for about 30 years
absolutely true and I could not agree with you more it's nice to know there are more like us out there
Jesus saves
I can’t wait for you to watch “Falling Away From Me”, it picks up immediately after the end of this video. Fun fact the series of numbers at the end of this video is a direct reference to the master disk serial number for the Freak on a Leash album. Fitting that the song is about his experience with the music industry and the sign at the end says “No Trespassing” followed by the reference number for the studio’s master copy of the album.
Let the KoRn rabbit hole begin, please please please do as many KoRn songs as you can I love how you dissect the lyrics and analyze songs, you're spot on with everything you say keep em coming 👌👍👍👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤟
I suffer from post concussion syndrome and I have dealt with massive depression on a daily basis for 7 yrs. I haven’t written a song or even played the guitar for at least a year. You reminded me how important that is for my mental health. Thank you so much.
Was just thinking the same. Not suffering as badly as yourself, but have been feeling numb for years. Creation for creations sake where you're your only judge sounds like a fantastic idea.
His childhood was very painful. There's more meaning to the song.
Absolutely bang on! Exactly. Painful, Raw, Emotion!
I feel like Jonathon Davis is singing about me. KoRn is always someplace I can go when I am the most depressed.
Bastard by devin Townsend is wrotten about his father. Its an emotional one. Probably worth looking into
Twist is a testament to what to you're saying at 4:26, because as Life Is Peachy (the previous album) was rolling around, they (the record label) wanted a song that they could use as a single, no swearing, inoffensive, simple beat, oh and do that cool scat thing you did on the first record etc., so Korn wrote and sent them Twist, which is entirely just Jonathan doing scat and saying Twist in the middle and end over a funky beat. 😂
I loved Korn's "middle finger to industry" with "Y'all want a single"... PRICELESS.
“This song is a gift” absolutely
Ive always listened to korn. However after the military their songs took a different meaning. I love this and what y'all qre doing. Ive been told so many times metal is whats causing my issues, yet it jelps me feel again.
That interpretation about creating things to survive made so much sense.
After over a decade of battle with neurological problems and tinnitus it felt very true.
This band is amazing for showing how to link inner feelings to a creative outlet, and many people latch on because they write inner secret battles. It really helps people not feel alone. ❤
lol, yeah I feel that is everyone's reaction to the beatboxing/scatting.
"Wtf is this?"
....
....
"Oh, I am actually getting into this!"
🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼 ,, Hey HEART SUPPORT,,, I like your breakdown on a lot of these songs just started watching the channel not too long ago!! I’m a 52-year-old metalhead from LA if you can check out “ DADDY “ by KORN it is definitely very serious subject matter! I think you’ll fill it deep in your heart, because it affects so many Men in general ❤️❤️
great stuff...i belive that "The day I tried to live " would be up your alley.
Thank you for the breakdown. Your explanation and mental wellness breakdown is spot on for many. Your giving a communication pathway that people whom are afraid to talk out can build on. Been there, still feel it. Learned to minimize it :) most of the time.
The sounds he was making is called scatting. It's a focal of jazz vocals. The vocalist uses his voice to improvise melodies. Scatman John and Scatman Crothers were two of the most famous scatterers.
Freak on a leash is about the fear of being different
I've listened to this type of music for 20+ years, and never realized some of the lyrical messages that you have been pointing out in your videos. I'm incredibly impressed that you can extract such deep meaning from a single listen. I believe that you've inspired me to try to listen deeper to the music I love, and I appreciate your passion!
She just made things up. Maybe she feels this way but it doesn’t matter that it was the real meaning. But any art form you can interpret any way you want (even if sometimes incorrectly), it’s your interpretation.
4:40 it wasn't a language it wasn't words it was a feeling, pure emotion.
What is is saying is: "So fight, something on the ming-a-boo
Fight, some things they fight".. so you did get close!
Ok just a few seconds into this vid and I already love how she’s just vibing to the song yay
Great reaction !! Yes, he created his own language that can't be profited from because you can't understand it !!
There were no words. Just noises. It's a jazz technique called Scat.
You should go through all their album. The scat part, is epic, they have a sing called twist, and it's 90% scat.The song Good God was one of anthems as a kid. And so many more
Along with Blind.
You mention feelings of futility around 2:50 or so, and yeah, these guys swam in that pretty constantly.
The trick for me was to reject expectations and embrace hedonism!
also, new sub here, really enjoying your analysis of music!
i feel old this song is 28 years old now
Korn been through more shit then we can fathom.. and still made a band that will be played for generations.. he is a legendary 🤘🤘🙌
Well being a therapist, and listening to Korn. I'd have to say you absolutely MUST listen to Korn's song called, "Daddy." I'm sure my fellow Korn fans would strongly agree.
Next korn song should be daddy..not much worse then that one..
You gotta do it.
React to 'Daddy' it is a very family friendly song by Korn.
This is my favorite MV of all time. The concept of following the bullet is just so cool.
i love that there's also a video game that does the same thing
i really hope lots of people listen to what you suggest from 05:00 on. I hope they all get creative one way or another. Thx HeartSupport
You have to check out “ falling away from me “ now it’s the follow up to this song. Honestly Korn was therapy for many teens growing up it would help when you were going through something. It was an escape
facts korn's music made me feel less alone as a kid and it got me though ALOT of personal demons i will forever be a fan
As a therapist the song Daddy he released would be a cool one to react to… it’s a disturbing “song” it’s almost too harsh to release. It’s a song about John’s childhood, they just let him in the studio and do his thing. It’ll bring chills and tears
This video was the hottest shit in existence when i was 12
You should check out "Daddy" if you really want to dive into the mind of Johnathan Davis! There is no "official video" for it but it is a very dark, deep, emotional song from Korns first album. Which now thinking of it, it would be cool if you did an analysis of that entire album, I think it will blow you away
Yes ..she needs to do it..
That song is so raw..
I grew up in Greenacres/Rosedale James Shaffer. We had sleepovers at 8 years to crashin couches in the 20ishes LAPD days.
LOVE AND PEACE DUDE!!!! Classic!!!
I always turn to Jesus Christ. I'm sure we all know that "the head" did the same thing. Because Jesus Christ created everything😊
😂 what ever delusion helps i guess 😅
I absolutely love this reaction. Your style of thinking makes me smile
Can you do one on hello goodbye by Robb Nash
Korn is a very emotional based band he sings so hard he cries out his pain literally most of his songs are very deep
Bless you for what you are doing . It means the world to all and saves lives
I want her to react to Korn-right now
If you have never heard Korn you have to do daddy next. It's rough but I'd like to hear a therapist's thoughts on it.
Yes. The first album is so raw and all about Jonathan Davis’s childhood of being abused. Fagg*t and Daddy are great to breakdown. Hard to listen to but worth it
Viewer warning, If you apply lip ointment while listening to Korn your chin and mustache will be glossy.
PLEASE DO "KILL YOU" FROM LIFE IS PEACHY!!!! That song was made for you videos!!!!!!!
I have listened to a couple of your reaction videos so I'm relatively new to your channel but the ones I have seen I think you did a good job. I also have listened to Korn for a little while now and I have to say that their creative energy and the way they do their videos is awesome. Also, even before I started listening to your channel and heard you say in this video about writing as an outlet I had started writing music. Now I'm not musically gifted as far as playing instruments but I'm pretty good at writing lyrics. Anyway, sorry for the long winded comment but keep up the good work and I will keep watching your channel. The first video of yours that I watched was your reaction to sleep token I think it was called bring me back to eden.
Wow! I’ve made a living as a caricature artist for the past 17 years, and you made me think about the act of creating in such a different way 🤯 I always feel the most at peace and confident and present when I’m creating (whether it’s drawing, photographing, making music, video editing, writing, and whatever else grabs my attention), and it’s really gotten me through life even when times are tough. I see creativity as being the fire of life, even though most people don’t think of themselves as being creative. We use creativity in forming a unique perspective, building relationships, and creating a life for ourselves❤️
Your an absolutely amazing person, thank you!!!
I think you would like Mushroomhead... It's like Slipknot but better... In my opinion... I suggest...
Solitaire Unraveling...
Out of my Mind...
Qwerty...
Sun Doesn't Rise...
You need to react to part 2 of this video. Which is something you will need to deep dive one and discuss it. It is "Korn - Falling Away from Me (Official HD Video)".

Ren brought me here, these are a fun side quest though. Korn, Disturbed, SlipKnot, excellent selections. I saw a few others in your playlists that might be interesting. Thanks for sharing and helping!
Great take on the meaning of the song!
Btw, I just discovered your channel today, so I’m binge watching your videos and having blast!
You just blew my mind. I've been listening to this song for over 25 years, and this was the first time i heard anyone ever thought about the scat/beat box nonsense sounds that Jonathan in that way. Him making his own language to keep it for his own, what a brilliantly insightful take on this song! Would love to hear your thoughts on the song Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog.
this is the type of content creator that we need in this world right now. you are a fantastic reactor and a breath of fresh air, keep up the positivity!
korn has so many great amazing songs that are so deep and meaningful thay have helped so many people. coming undone. narcissistic cannibal, get up, never never, rotting in vain, black is the soul, a different world, take me, here to stay, alone i break, cold, you'll never find me, the darkness is revealing, idiosyncrasy, finally free, can you hear me, let the dark do the rest, start the healing, worst is on its way. the whole the nothing album was made after the deaths of jonathon's(singer) mom and wife and the album was a form of therapy for him.
The title alone evokes imagery in my mind. A "freak on a leash" evokes a sort of pitiable creature, or a feral animal. As a not neuro typical person I relate to that so hardcore.
"Something takes a part of me" aka just being forced to mask and pretend like Im ok. Dont be wierd, dont stim, dont be a "freak"
Thank you so much for explaining this! it's so easy! but until i heard it from someone else's mouth, it was impossible. Thank you!
In 2017-ish, my dad's girlfriend took me and my brother to see Rammstein in Vegas, Korn opened for them. Before that concert, my brother didnt see why i liked Korn. Afterwards, he said Korn was great -- live. Lol. Was a great fucking concert, to be fair.
You have to do "Daddy" by Korn. Just prepare yourself. It's a LOT to take, and you will not be okay when it's over.
Dang ma'am Doctor, i aaamm digging what you're trying to say "if you don't understand the language i am trying to convey", then how could you understand what's inside me or inside my head... 😢😢😢
I really like your interpretation of the speaking in tongues section!
The video is really excellent in ways nobody would catch on first watch. Yes, it's "Hey we have this tech we'd like to play with," but there's more and I think you'd LOVE it. Here's the run down from this OG KoRn fan:
So, the song is about how his music is essentially him splaying out his pain for artistic expression... and money. And how that money starts to really screw it up because record companies and the industry as a whole (which was arguably at the height of its explicit oppressiveness in those days because it basically functioned like Hollywood) just want to beat singles out of you for their own financial gain. To an extent, you're their trained monkey, and when your monkey trick is to unveil your worst, most painful moments (as in a lot of KoRn's songs), you can start to feel like you're their sideshow. $18 to come hear the freak on a leash, and they'll be in town next August if you have $60 to spare.
The natural question you might have after interpreting those lyrics is: "Damn! Why even make music then?"
In the video, the kids at the start are playing in a childlike, cartoon space. The girl is carelessly hop scotching on the edge. The reasonable adult who tries to protect her accidentally discharges a bullet at her (trauma), which reeks havoc in the real world. It eventually reaches Jon Davis, in some sort of manifested world of the image of KoRn hanging on the walls of a fan's room. The number of bullet holes in this room make it clear this isn't the first bullet that's made its way here. He digs for his most primal music and turns the bullet around on the world. By the time it gets back to the little girl, the trauma has been neutralized to a controllable state. Even the little girl is able to stop the bullet now, and she carefully and respectfully returns it to the adult before going off to play some more
THIS is why Jonathan Davis continues to make music: Unfurling his very real pain to the world might make him a freak, but it helps others cope with their own trauma
I love your breakdowns and explanations, but what you're saying is basically scratching the surface. Once you puncture that shell, you find out that the true meaning is about sexual, mental,physical, and emotional abuse. It's about trying to tell someone to escape and not being believed. Honestly for a therapist, for you to miss the true meaning behind this is kinda disappointing. I'm sure you're good but I wouldn't go to you.
I’m so glad I clicked on this video. For one, badass reaction and analysis. Not too much pausing, just taking it in and for two I feel like I just left a great therapy session. I really got a lot out of what she said. ❤I should just paying my psychiatrist and just watch her videos lol
"That’s my song that rails out against the music industry. It’s about how I feel like I’m a fuckin' prostitute. Like I’m this freak paraded around, but I got corporate America fuckin' making all the money while it’s taking a part of me. It’s like they stole something from me-they stole my innocence and I’m not calm anymore. I worry constantly. I’m not just talkin' about the record business. Everything’s involved. I’ve lost something. I’m not all there anymore. I love what I do, but I wish I could have it all back. It’s like the Peter Pan syndrome. I wish I could still fly."
Jonathon Davis, 1998
Typical therapist over analyzing things. Too much about feelings and not just enjoying the music. People like this are always a victim and create others that feel like victims. No way I'd ever go to a therapist!
I'd never thought about entering my creative powers as a way of dealing with feeling stuck. That was a really liberating explanation and I can't wait to try this. Thank you once again!
art is how to be your own therapist
Listen to “twist” really short. You hear the gibberish.
And review “Kiss” from KoЯn. I don’t think there is a video but it’s on of there softer songs. Just wanna here how you fell out that song. I love how you hear all this:)
