where did saosin get there name from?

Question

im just kind of curious :)

Answer 1

Due to discrepency of the pronunciation of the band name, Anthony Green gave an explanation and meaning behind the name, Saosin.

"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 sons 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."

Although it is properly pronounced this way, the actual members of the group today call it SAY-OH-SIN. Therefore it is generally accepted and pronounced this way.

Answer 2

woohoo
Saosin (pronounced say-ocean) are a post-hardcore band from Newport Beach, California who originally formed during 2003 and partly consists of former members of the band Open Hand. They have currently only publicly released two EPs ("Translating the Name" and an EP distributed on the Warped Tour), however several individual completed songs have also been included on various compilations. These include "I Can Tell There Was An Accident Here Earlier" on a compilation album entitled "Music on the Brain Volume 1", "Bury Your Head" on an Atticus compilation entitled "Atticus... Dragging the Lake Part 3", "Mookie's Last Christmas" from the "A Santa Cause" compilation, and a remake of their previously recorded song "I Wanna Hear Another Fast Song" called "Sleepers" from the "Take Action! Volume 5" compilation.
