10 Songs That Were Painful To Make

Writing something from the heart tends to take a lot more out of a songwriter than most probably realize.

The song is already a precious thing for anyone to have to birth, so when you have something that's extremely uncomfortable to verbalize, it can get a bit ugly translating that to the tape. Whereas most bands try to mask their pain in the studio, there was nothing holding back Jonathan Davis on Daddy.

Being the demented final track on Korn's debut, this is an all too real life account of Davis' experiences being sexually abused as a child, which fell on deaf ears with his parents.

Clocking in at nearly 20 whole minutes of runtime, you can hear Davis starting to really crack up in the vocal booth, from his voice cracking left and right to full blown sobbing towards the tail end of things. Even though it might seem pitiable at first, the raw pain just enhances the fear of the final moments of the record even more.

The band couldn't even hold themselves back for much longer after recording either, with most of them embracing Davis in a group hug the minute that the tape cut. While there is some merit in disguising your message, sometimes there's no other way to get your point across other than being as blunt as possible.
