| "Oildale" | |
|---|---|
| Song |
"Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" is the first single from Korn's ninth studio album, Korn III – Remember Who You Are. It is the first single with new drummer Ray Luzier.[2] It was first played live on March 27, 2010 for fans in Anchorage, Alaska. "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" netted in 1.9 million first week audience impressions over 79 radio stations.[3] The full version of the song was available digitally on May 25, 2010.[4]
Music and structure
"Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" is very reminiscent to Korn's heavier albums such as their self-titled debut album, Life Is Peachy, and Take a Look in the Mirror.
It was stated in an article by Roadrunner Records that "'Oildale (Leave Me Alone)' buzzes with an eerie clean guitar that slowly gives way to a steamrolling bass and riff assault."[5]
Concept
The song title is a reference to Oildale, California, just north of Bakersfield. Though the songs lyrical content has no connection with the town, it is a return to frontman Jonathan Davis's troubled past, with the main chorus "why don't you just leave me alone/my heart's gonna break from the fall/holding onto petty things/feeling all the hate it brings/why don't you just leave me alone!".
Music video
The video for "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" will be aired on May 31 on MTV2.[6]
