Big hugs to everyone who watched this entire thing with me, and who also feel the effects. ❤❤❤

KoЯn in the 90's let thousands of kids and millions of people know they weren't alone!  Because of this they were my favorite band.

The motherly voice in the end. So sad. It's like the type of caring mother that Johnathan wished for but couldn't have

He agreed to do this song live for 1 tour. The show I was at, when he played it the whole crowd stopped the moshing/jumping and just couldn't take their eyes off him. It hits way different when he is right in front of you singing it with everything in him.

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...

It actually wasn't his father. It was his babysitter.

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.

The panic attack he has during this song gets me every time

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.

The voice in the beginning. It will forever be the most beautiful, saddest intro, I will ever hear.

This is based on real events that occurred during the lead singers childhood, I believe it was the babysitter not is father but his mum didn't believe him. They let the recording go on as he literally broke down singing 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.✌️

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.

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.

The crying bit was Jonathan authenticly breaking down at the end of the recordings. His band members rushed in the booth to console him

I'm a therapist working with adolescent trauma survivors... powerful song ... bring me back to my own sadistic childhood with my step-father

For as graphic as these lyrics are, the one line in particular that gets me every time is “I’m not a liar”.

To anyone who has been through this, you are not liars and you are not the problem. You did not deserve it and I hope that you can find peace somewhere within someday.

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.

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

As a full on metalhead who pretends he is invincible... this song makes me ball like a child, and I still can't watch the entire reaction. Respect for giving it a listen dude, you have more balls than myself. X
