"Falling Away From Me" by KOЯN hits harder than my stepmom!
Fallin away from me by Korn.
This reaction video for falling away from me by korn hits harder than my stepmom! Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments!
i’ve always thought that the way JD says “it’s gonna be better tomorrow” he says it in a kinda mocking tone like that’s what people who don’t suffer from depression tell the ones who do but most of the time it’s really not the case.
Exactly!
Well, I have a friend with crippling depression and I don't always know how to respond when he's talking about his issues, I'm mostly just a listener and I just want him to be heard you know, since I'm his best friend. I sometimes say things like that line to try and help him because I don't really know how I'm supposed to lift his spirits. Any advice? I just wanna be able to communicate better
@@ajgumpper you don't have to promise that it's going to be better tomorrow, because you can't. Nobody knows what tomorrow has in store.
Just be there for him. Give a listen when he needs to. Let hem know, that it's ok for him to feel like he feels, without feeling guilty about it. I have gone through a year or two with depression, and the most cumbersome thought was that I was so ungratefull. I praised myself lucky for all the things that I had. But I was so depressed because of the things that I didn't had. It made me feel guilty and ashamed of the emotions that where going through me.
Just having someone to talk to and expres myself to without them trying to fix me or telling me that I shouldn't worry or feel the things that I feel, was the one thing I needed the most.
That beeing said, you also don't have to agree with his statement, if you think his oppinion is over exaggerated. (Wich can happen with a depressed and negative mindset.)
You can ask him why he thinks in a certain way so he can vocaly articulate his thought and then maybe he can how unrealistic his point of vieuw is.
Just make shure he feels listend to. And that his emotions are no something to be punished for.
To add a last thing... Try to detach yourself from HIS emotions.
Your friend needs support from a steady rock that doesn't move or shift.
If he gets sad, don't be sad with him, don't go down in his emotion downward spiral. (this is a tough thing to do.)
Also know, that just because he is depressed, doesn't mean that you don't have the right to be happy and positive.
I hope these words may help you buddy.
@@minfuji Thank you so much 😄 I really appreciate the advice. I'm gonna keep listening to him and I'm gonna be there for him every step of the way. After all, it only took him a few weeks to open up to me about his life and his problems haha, maybe I'm kinda good at this stuff. But I'll keep all of that in mind, thanks again!!
@@ajgumpper Keep also in mind, that he is batteling his thoughts and his fears from the past and his anxiety from the future. Something you might not fully understand. And that is perfectly ok. You don't have to understand everything that he experience or why he does or doesn't do certain things. And if that is the case, be houghnest about it, say you just can understand how he is feeling, without beeing judgemental about it. This will show that you respect him in his ways. And that you just trivialise his experience by simply saying, "I understand how you feel bro" when in truth you have no idea how his traumas treuly have an impact on him.
And don't feel like you let him down that you"didn't fixed him". Because he is the only one who can fix himself, as long as he has friends who are there for him.
He is in a pit, that might seem bottomless for him.
Don't jump in the pitt with him, but make shure you allways have a hand reaching for him when he finds the courage to jump up and reach for the nearest ledge.
Friends like you are precious, bless you and best of luck with you and your friend.
Even after so many years, I still cry listening to Korn songs.
I've known them since the 90's
Old stuff will always be a headbanger!
Unfortunately - and this my opinion - all new studio albums after "Take a look in the mirror" aren't this good anymore.
Fun Fact: They preformed this song on an episode of South Park. I think it was season three, not sure the episode number or title...but it was a mockup of the old Scooby-Doo cartoons where Korn was basically their version of The Mystery Machine Team and they were at South Park to solve a mystery. But throughout the entire episode they were being all nice and everyone thought they were evil and shit. They ended up gaining everyone's trust, and you think it is going to be a normal episode...but no. They end the episode preforming this song. Probably my favorite early episodes of South Park
Korn will always be one of my favorite bands.
I've been a fan since 1998. I've only seen them live 3 times, first time was in 2000, then 2007, then a few months ago! They are still killing it live after all these years.
Yeah, I saw them live a few months ago and Helmet and Evanescence opened up for them. Needless to say they blew both of those bands away and were incredible live!
I feel a lot from this song. From years of physical and emotional abuse, I have years and years of emotional damage. I have PTSD, severe anxiety, disassociative disorder, depression. It’s a lot to deal with. Most days it’s a struggle to face every day.
I'm sorry you've endured this. I too have survived emotional abuse, leaving me with moderate gen. Anxiety, pervasive major depressive disorder w/ seasonal pattern ...etc, etc. My abuser passed away a couple weeks ago and I'm now being more open with the few friends I have left. Letting things go and healing. I pray you get some relief
@@wheelz8240 I wish you happiness. That person who did that to you passing. You have a clear path to feeling better. One of my bullies did it again a couple weeks ago. It brought back a slew of memories. Can’t believe in adulthood they still act like children. And I’m still suffering because of what he did. I wish you the best. And a virtual hug.
Hang in there and find something, anything to make smile. Even if it's just going outside in the sunlight and hearing the birds. That's how i got through it. Even though we are all different, there is always a solution. Don't give up...
This is one of their songs that hits to close to home for me. It's a great song you rock!!
Man, KoRn really has evolved over the years. Props to them for maintaining relevancy for the past 30 years
RIP Korn 1994 - 2004.
@@punxsutawneyphil3944 yeah tbh I kind of stopped buying albums after See You On The Other Side
they haven't evolved over the years, because they had some crappy albums in between, but they definitely went back to their great roots for a while.
@@freddurst5277 bummer, because they went back to their old roots and made some great music after their bad stuff. and your name is Fred Durst, lol. Limp Bizkit made like 3 good albums total.
@@stonecold5373 I wouldn’t call Korn II, III, Serenity of Suffering and all those others close to their roots…Requiem was pretty close, but not the same. And what would you say the good albums for Bizkit are? The first 4, and Still Sucks are good, the rest are meh
Jonathan Davis is a great idol for me, all his feelings and pain are perfectly transmitted in his voice, the lyrics and the atmosphere helped many with his music, which is why Korn continues to be so loved,It's so raw, dark and so human I love it
I love that you got the double meaning behind "beating me down". Also, thanks for not being judgemental about mental illness. Serious stuff aside, watching this brought back good memories of being in the pit for this at Family Values '98. Damn, I'm getting old.
This song hits hard for me as I am a survivor of domestic abuse due to ex husband,I was in a bad place a couple months ago wanting to end it,but I kept thinking of my kids and I couldn't do it,was diagnosed with PTSD and Anxiety,I am in therapy now and I am in a much better place now
It’s hard going through that. I was abused by my spouse as well. I’m so glad you’re in a better place now. Much love.
Well you probably deserved it right? Maybe dont keep nagging him all the time.
I lost it when you started full body dancing 😆
In all seriousness, this is probably in my top 3 favorite Korn songs.
Johnathan Davis's lyrics has and continues to help me through the toughest times I'm my life. Growing up in an abusive house hold, to my own divorce, being the victim of violent crime, ptsd, and just day to day drama..... No psychiatrist, psychologists, friends, or family could have helped me more than the music of this band and others. I am forever thankful for their existence in my times of need. This is by no means a recommendation or me saying this will work for someone else, but for me it is everything I needed, when I needed it.
This song has gotten me through so many rough days, really kept me together. Thank you for reacting to it, and thank you for your videos❤
I think 'thoughtless' or 'clown' would be good for the next one. 'Black is the soul' is another good one
Thank you for the reaction! There isn't a more supportive and caring group of fans then Korn fans. I have been a fan since day one. Their music is like a bear hug of understanding and caring that heals for so many of us. To all my Korn fans out there, stay strong and keep the love going!!
Playing into my high school life and it’s killing me inside at the realization of my age.
You've gotten so much better at describing what's really important about these songs cheers to you my friend and yes it makes your whole body move
This song is still one of my favorites by them. The old bassist, Fiedly, is actually my neighbor and one of the coolest dudes in music you can meet. Super genuine guy.
@UCBKwKoy8OJuIqUClXY-sNMw last I heard he was taking a break from the band. So not sure if he’s still playing or not as I don’t talk to him about music. Also haven’t spoken to him in about 3-4 months since I’m hardly home due to work. So to my last understanding he was taking a break so that’s why I said “old bassist”.
Korn has helped me so much to get awareness of things I couldn't put into words before listening to them
One of my all time favorites!
“This is the type of song that’s medicine”
❤ This guy gets it! Music is therapy. Korn’s lyrics often describe feelings I can’t find my own words for.
Thank you for the love and support you put out there. People need that. ❤
I also recommend you (or anyone) to check out “Under your Scars” by Godsmack, and the Scars Foundation.
definetly need more korn reactions. keep up the amazing work. shoots and ladders, got the life, twisted transistor, narcissistic cannibal, get up, never never, black is the soul, cold, idiosyncrasy, can you hear me, worst is on its way, start the healing. also what it is by jonathan davis
The thing that's amazing about this song is that even if you didn't go through the same pain he did, it's written in a way that it can relatable no matter what you're going through.
First of i want say if anyone is a victim of abuse. Whether it be physically or emotional abuse, tell somebody.. anybody. Even if it isn't you but if you witness please ask for help. It's there. I was never abused but i watched my mother be both physically and emotionally abused for years. I didn't realize it until several years ago i definitely had an affect on me. Fortunately i haven't repeated any of that but i feel the pull of rage i saw. So please ask for help. About the song.. it's amazing. Korn has an incredible way of getting their point across. They have so many great ones. Been listening to them from their first album. They never get old to me.
This song is pure life therapy
this song got me thru alot of shit..as someone who has felt all of the shit in the song It helped me..I'm 38 and still trying....I'm a father of one and single as I have trust issues due to my past... everyone please keep safe
Korn thoughtless has always been one of my favorites!
Hey Alex, keep kicking ass my dude.
Love your channel.... Always SLAPS 🤘🤘
As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety and has experienced abuse in my past, Korn has gotten me through so much shit. This song and the "Issues" album as a whole is one of my favorite musical releases of any band because it captures so much relatable pain and emotion and conveys that into incredibly therapeutic music. I would recommend listening to this entire album as well as all the other Korn records, they are all incredible.
This song came out the same time my mom “committed suicide” I had a restraining order on my dad at the time, I lashed out caused several large scale fights then was arrested for inciting a riot, then was taken into community custody. Several months later I found out my mom was alive but in an asylum… over share for sure, but nonetheless this song has immense meaning for me. Thanks Alex for the reaction and the thoughts on the song I think you hit the nail on the head.
Alex, what a great reaction bro. Your insight into the meaning of the song was spot on! #korn
been waiting for this reaction for ages
Your full body head banging is hilarious! Love Korn!
This band and Linkin Park have saved me I don't know how many times
I haven't clicked this fast on one of Alex's vids before. Great song, by the way.
i came home from junior high. It was the first day we had MTV2. This was the first music video I saw when I turned on the tv.. I had the black cable box 😉😉 good times back then.
I relate to korns music so much. I've been a fan of this band since back in my party days and I'd be here all day if i named every korn song that i can relate to. Pretty much all of them. Follow the leader is one of my fav albums but i love every korn album soooo yeah. Daddy and falling away from me are 2 songs i can relate to because i was sexually physically mentally emotionally and domesticated violence. I went through a rough time for many years and still till this day i try and hide the pain i feel inside and it's exhausting. But korn is one of those bands who's music got me through alot of it. Music is my go to it helps me cope with alot especially being alone. I'm gonna think on a few korn songs you should do reactions to. I'd say all of them but that would take a long time lol anyways I've had a shit day so ty once again Alex for being my escape from the BS in life i appritiate you.
One of my daughters wouldnt have survived her middle school years without Korn. She was in so much emotional pain from sexual abuse and all the after effects and realizing she wasnt alone saved her. She introduced me to them and we went to 3 Korn concerts together. I will be forever grateful to Jon❤
Korn has such an immense discography, I find it sad that there's so little deeper dive into them beyond the few big hits. Thoughtless is also amazing but so are songs like Make me Bad, Here To Stay, Somebody Someone... But more often than not in this reaction scene you'll see a cut from the moment reactors have done Freak on a Leash, Falling Away from Me, Blind Woodstock and Daddy when there's so much more to cover!
Hope you do take another look Alex and try to get some of these down as well as they're simply being wasted not sitting comfortably in your spotify playlist!
So here's a list for you Alex and when you've done these will be sure to drop you some more!
Thoughtless
Fag*t
Make Me Bad
Somebody Someone
Everything I've known
Black is the Soul
Here To Stay
I was waiting forever for you to finally hear this masterpiece of a video and song.
This song has been a rap sample, Hammerdance by Slaughterhouse. I knew of the rap version way before i heard this song and i always thought the beat was so hard😂 Hammerdance is a tune though should def give that a listen
Nuts…waaa waaaaaaaa lol love how you look at things man, makes you think.
I remember when they debuted this song on South Park when they played the Scooby-Doo gang. Lol. I would love to see your reaction to that episode.
“Somebody someone” is another great song .
So much fun to play this song on drums
Thoughtless is another great one both for the music itself and the video
Jonathan Davis is so unique in that he can portray such total masculinity with his deep guttural growls and yet shine so much sensitivity in his lyrics as well as his vocal delivery. It makes you care so much more about the music because it’s so genuine. You have to love & respect what they have built for now over 4 decades!
Oh man. Reminds me so much of my past. Long time felt that way.
Nothing says "we're going to ask you to babysit again, uncle Alex" like blasting Korn while the baby's supposed to be sleeping. \m/
Side note, I was at Carolina Rebellion when Munky was officially brought back to the band. It was a *moment* when he came out on stage. The crowd went nuts. (I know it's old news, but what can I say? It's not often that one is at a pivotal moment in a band's history. =D)
Man I didn't even know Munky was gone
@@PiousMoltar Rehab, if I recall. He rejoined the band at Carolina Rebellion in 2012. I don't remember how long he was out, though. A year, maybe?
I just remember this fat hippy guy next to me and my (now) ex-wife flipping out going "IS THAT MUNKY?!"
It was Head your talking about , Munky never left
How the hell has he never heard this until now lmao bangin song love this channel
I'd suggest checking out another song from the album called Freak on a Leash and or possibly Make me Bad by Korn.
Freak on a Leash isn't from this album
@@timdarnell7819 sorry, I thought it was. I don't own the albums so I thought it did. My bad... It's still a good song though.
@@amandadaley4182 why you say sorry that much man it's okay😂👌
@@Idyliss_Official habit lol
I watch your vids anyway, but I clicked even faster due to the title. 😂 😂
Hello Alex,
I'm a huge fan of your channel and your videos❤
Wanted to thank you for everything that you are doing, and desperately beg you to lend your voice to the people of Iran🖤
Your biggest fan from across the world,
Willow🌳
Should absolutely follow this with Korn- Coming Undone
I need to see Korn in concert so bad
I went that way, I came back, now at 71 I still feel the guilt and emptiness inside, but I can now laugh as well.
Dude, It's beeing a while that I didin't show up here, I did like seeing you reacting to my favorites metal music, but this song is my national anthem, it's about mine reality I've being listening that song whitout knowing what it's all about since my 15, 16 yo ... at that time I was suffering with the same shit, and still at my 34, Korn and the truth of Jonathan Davis make me stiil alive... there are a lot of people who suffering the same shit arround the wolrd.... Greetins from Brazil, much love !
Late to the party, but I've been a KoRn fan since '94 and I've never heard them described better than you just did - they're medicine. You somehow summed it all up in that one word, well done
Back in the day this was a go to song when I needed an out from all the mental shit that was about to make me snap. Korn got me through so much.
Sorry for being late Alex, I had to put off watching this until I was ready.
I love KoRn. I’ve always had an affinity to their music & wasn’t sure why until my adult years. I just recently had the realization that my mom is a narcissist & has victimized my dad to where he is one himself now. My siblings learned to be this same way. I grew up knowing that something was off & was separated from them due to my enlistment in the USMC for years. When I got out I lived w/ my now wife of 3yrs(11yrs together), so I stayed away from my family’s corruption. I could never put words to say what they were before earlier this year. Because I finally had enough of all of their bullshit, I’ve cut all communication w/ them & I’ve never been happier. I’m diagnosed w/ PTSD from the Corps & have clinical depression & anxiety from the mental/emotional abuse my family caused for nearly 34yrs. I wasn’t their only target, but now I won’t be one anymore.
alex we need a 1 hr or 10 hr loop of that head bang with that riff lol
Here To Stay is a BANGER!!!!
First song I ever learned to play on guitar. I would have thought you would have done this song by now.
Been checking my shadow lately, seema to need doing, illumination from within helps a tad, providing at least wisps of long forgotten memories that have made up my outer core. Love ya bro...
This is one of their biggest hits
YEEEEEEEEEES, i just really love this song
Korn plays at a small venue called Jerry's Pizza several times and man they have evolved so much.
Fun fact Fieldy the bass player is also a rapper and has a rap album
Such a good song
Coming Undone is my fav Korn song
My favorite Korn song for sure
Duuuuuuuuude love your videos man!! Always making me smile 😁, please react to the cover from disturbed: if I ever lose my faith originally from sting! You'll be blown away again by David's voice
Just one thing quick, I've been binge watching some of your metal music reactions, I loved hearing what your thoughts are about some of my favourite songs you have reacted to.
Also not sure if you are still doing music requests but a song I would like for you to hear is from a lesser known band called Gates of Ishtar. The song in question is Tears (Gates of Ishtar - Tears) from the 1996 Album, A Bloodred Path.
Happy Halloween
20 years ago I was suicidal and this was my theme song at the time, that opening guitar takes me to a very dark place a long time ago. Thank God I've been saved by grace and love life now.
its funny the first thing you mention about the rap sample, someone or a group sampled that exact bit a few years ago ;D
When You get back to this songs being in your 30's with another mindset from the one You had being a teenager really lets the lyrics sink in Even more
Korn is deeper than they get credit for.
Fire track bro, got my Like! 😎👍
I got to see them live in 2021 when they went on tour with staind they were awsome
It's almost funny how this song (well... the whole albums) helped me when it came out although I didn't understand a word he was singing because I'm not an English native... Them and Rage against the Machine were on a different level...
Yea! Listen to more KoRn!
I resonate with this song. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much 😢😢😢
Thanks for dancing 😁
This was my highschool jam
I was 12 when I first watched this and then I've been listening to rock and metal music to this day. Issues is their first album in my opinion.
Slaughter house sampled this . Hammer dance
they were the best band I've ever seen live
No way you’ve never heard this!! But it’s a banger for sure
Idiosyncrasy or Gravity of discomfort off of the album the nothing. The album he released while grieving his ex death. It brings it all back to the beginning and touches everything in you
That headbang got me dying
" Coming undone" is an amazing KORN Song.
Alex you always have to do the slap sound affect so I can jerk my head to the side like I got slapped. Makes my day bro. Lol.
@alexhefner there is a hip hop sample of this song. It’s called hammer dance by slaughterhouse
Hey Alex, love the full body head bang 😂 you should react to one of Korn’s new ones called the worst is on its way
1:21
Well let me tell u somethin Mr. Hefner, Slaughterhouse - Hammer Dance did just that lol
this song really hits so close to home for me as someone who was abused by my moms ex man I fought with depression and unaliving myself for around 10 years it was rough
You are not alone friend. I too suffered by a ex husband of my mother. I remember all too well the feeling of hopelessness and being alone. She suffered with drug abuse and would just check out and suffered from abuse regularly too. I used to think to myself.. "how can this possibly get better?". The trials and tribulations both of us have faced made us stronger and better people. The circumstances of course are not a fair trade off but in the end we are who we are because of the demons of our past. I hope that you have found yourself in the best position now FOR YOU.
@@chrisblackburn8044 yes I’m living a much better life now with my wife and daughter I had a hard fight but Im in a way better place and karma bit him in the ass
@@TheLateNightReactor I'm happy to hear that! Thanks for giving me an outlet to speak about our experiences. We will break the chain. ✊️
God damn. And here I thought the perfect UA-cam title didn't exist.
fucking awesome song!!!!!!! & youre awesome man!!!!!
