Saosin pronounciation. The band was named by Anthony Green, he Americanized the chinese word Xiao Xin, which is pronounced Shaow Sheen, he pronounced it Say Oh Shin, since he left the band the pronounciation Say Oh Sin has become more popular. I say its perfectly ok to pronounce it either way, or does anyone think otherwise? Should it give both pronounciations? Reiver 03:59, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Why not just put the above information in the article? It's relevent and interesting... Halo 12:03, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of Saosin

The correct pronunciation is say-ocean. See for youself:

What does their name mean, and how is it pronouced?

Thanks to nailed shut, here is a quote from former singer Anthony: "It’s pronounced SAY-OCEAN. And it’s a Chinese proverb from the 15th and 16th centuries. It means “small heart”. Fathers used to marry off their youngest son's for money and used to tell them that they weren’t marrying for love, that their wife doesn’t matter. She could die at anytime so don’t get attached. They had to love with caution and raise their sons to be cold and unfeeling as well. I found it in the 8th grade and loved it, I used to name all my old bands that and write songs about it.

See the rest here[1], on the offical Saosin forums.

[edit] Origin of name

I believe the Chinese characters for the name are "小心" if anyone wants to check it out (the characters mean small and heart).

Also, someone keeps changing the article saying that the name is pronounced shao-shing. This is not true as saosin is pronounced in the cantonese dialect not mandarin.

[edit] "Sound Raptors" and upcoming album

As stated by Beau, "Sound Raptors" isn't the name of the new album and "Shh" isn't the name of the new song off the album. Cerule 19:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of article - Cove Reber

Okay I wouldn't normally state straight out opinions on Wikipedia stuff, but whoever deleted Cove's article should go die. To delete it because he isn't "notable" enough is unbelievable... He is the frontman for a signed band that has a huge following. Some fans, such as myself, are quite big fans of Cove and want to know more on him. Where else can we go but Wikipedia to find an encyclopedic article on him?

Deleting wikipedia articles is like burning books in a library. Don't do it unless there is damage being done by keeping it or the article is just a bunch of wrong information, you morons.--Jpagel 16:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations needed

Anyone have sources for the discography? namely

1. Acoustic Demo demo (Came with early copies of Translating the Name)
2. Instrumental Demo (2004) - No Vocals
3. Capitol Records Demo (2005)--User:Jpagel 20:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I may be mistaken, and, generally, I am, but I believe that a limited number of copies of [i]Translating the Name[/i] included the acoustic accompaniment disc when the band was on its first Warped Tour. I'm not sure about the instrumental demo; it sounds like something the band used for Cove (I have it on my PC). As for the Capitol Records disc, it leaked onto the Internet when the band sent it to Capitol before they were signed. I don't really know how to prove those things, but I know the last one is true for sure, since I downloaded the Capitol demo the day it leaked. Wlmaltby3 04:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

There are actually multiple instrumental demos, i have some from 2003, and before anthony green was in the band. There isn't any real way to track those demos, the band just records a lot. Beau Burchell is a quite well known producer (he's done bands like Name Taken, From First to last , the Bled) and has a quite good home studio. If i'm not mistaken Saosin's e.p.s come from his own studio.

[edit] Promotional Fans

Is that really an important thing to put on the main article?--Jpagel 15:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

No. It has no significance to the page. It should be deleted.

[edit] I Added album info box

Anybody ever notice the album art has a pattern?

Translating The Name: White

Self Titled EP: Black

Self Titled Full Album: White

S/T Limited Edition: Black Coincedence or not?

Anyways, rock on. Saosin is a great band, with either Anthony or Cove on vocals.

Ummm correction... the casing for the CD DVD copy is not black but in fact Navy. The lighting on this screen would say otherwise. I don't blame you for the mistake. - User:Gellister

[edit] Parental Explicit? Confused...

I don't understand how their new 2006 self-titled release has anything with explicit content. Could it be that the label included it to generate higher sales? Anyone see anything in the lyrics that anyone could find inappropriate to allow a toddler to listen to? --NinjaJew 12:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

They do that only on the DVD/CD copy (I purchased it) because on the DVD there is some language (Shit, Fuck... the usuals). The regular copy has no such label.
