Therapist Reacts to Daddy By Korn

i’m a lifelong korn fan and from my experience at shows and stuff it’s a bit of a mutual understanding among korn fans that we won’t ever ask for this one to be played live. it’s a very well understood unspoken rule that nobody in the korn fandom wants to put JD through that we love him too much. i certainly can’t listen to it very often myself. it’s too real.

listen to Kill You from the 2nd album. You will have to listen close or get lyrics for the scat part at the end. Look up the video of the recording of that song as well. If i remember correctly, it took Jonathan 20+ years to sing Daddy live after recording it. The producer Ross Robinson was able to get Jonathan to reach down deep and helped give Jonathan the strength to feel this as he sang this and Kill You.

This song helped me through my childhood. I remember sitting alone in my room knowing I could live a better life like Jonathon did. This song healed so many.

As a male who has experienced this from both female and male it’s hard to talk about or even think about it. It wasn’t til I first heard KORN and found “DADDY” that I could actually comprehend what happened and let /help me begin to talk about it this song is the most real I have ever felt :cry:

pretty sure they didn’t know the crying was being recorded

The fact that this kind of abuse happens to children at all, makes me question existence in this hellish world and what the F we are all doing here in the first place. Life on Earth is a soultrap that we keep reincarnating back into. When the time comes, we must claim our spiritual sovereignty to escape this madness and never return :broken_heart:

I tried to forget about how powerful and painful this one was… It hit me hard again. You should look into the live version of Korn’s “Alone I Break” with the SFA

It a good fucking song :heart:.

Its so gut wrenching. It makes me sick and sad. No child should have to suffer like this

im so scared to talk about being molested to my oarents i feel so stuoid but she doesnt even stop when i tell her to i keep telling her to stop. im a freshman shes a junior

The hardest part to me is “I’m not a liar.” Because that is how it feels when you get the courage to say something about it to someone who could have protected you.

Welcome to nu metal. There’s a lot of that. A lot of the kids abused went here because they understood.

I remember when I bought the CD and listened to the whole thing. This song is the last one (number 12 if I can remember accurately), and when I listened to the whole thing I was sobbing and shaking like I leaf! I was processing his and my trauma and could absolutely feel his pain! After that experience I understood what processing trauma was, cuz I was a kid myself who had been SA’d when I was 5, and then groomed and severely abused by a pedo psychopath when I was 14 till I was 24. This song is one of the most raw and impactful songs ever written! Sending strength, healing energy and love to all survivors of SA. :black_heart::metal::fire::pray::broken_heart::mending_heart::dizzy::sparkles::heart_hands:

Seeing you sit there and jam out to a song with these lyrics is disturbing. Maybe analyze rather than headband and jive while a person screams about being raped as a child.

I remember hearing this song for the first time in the 90s. I luckily had a beautiful childhood and this song made me cry and get sick to my stomach, even though I wasn’t entirely aware of the exact meaning at only 12.

The woman’s voice you hear at the end of the song is Jonathan’s sister Judith, she’s singing to soothe him!

I recommend listening to the song Jonestown Tea by Otep. It’s another VERY powerful song along the same line! Trigger warning.

Korn is amazing but another to listen to is Emilie Autumn, specifically the song “Gothic Lolita”

The most painful song to listen to in history

Honestly I listen to Korn, but I have not heard this one. Tears……definitely tears :cry:
