And that´s why I love Deftones so much. They are so long in the business already, but they´re still fresh. While other bands are just a copy of their past.
In 2015, Tamara Feldman (girl in the video) was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She decided to ride a horse across the United States in aid of the charity Race to Erase MS, which she documented on her website "And So I Ride".
Oh damn. I didn't know all THAT. Deftones managed to include a good cause with their typical "hot ass woman in music video" trend that's been ongoing since the 90s.
@@UndercoverNormie It's funny how, if you actually read between the lines, the 'hot ass woman' is more of a statement into the ebbs & flow of the music, and the emotion that resides within. It's at that point, it comes across as much more than just some superficiality casting. Also, this video was filmed before 2015.
It's because they're different in a good way like Radiohead. They're so good you can't put them in a single category. It's hard to know why it's so good, it's just so damn good
Absolutely. I loved "nu-metal" back in my late 90s high school days....and while I still have a fond place in my heart for all those bands.....the only band I truly legitimately love today, is Deftones. And Tool...but they take eons to release new music. :P But Deftones are one of the only bands from that era that are still releasing utterly _relevant creative interesting_ music. They've got such a beautiful aesthetic. Chino's voice is so damn unique...especially against the heavy instrumental aspect of the band. He has such an interesting way of twisting and refracting melodies into strangely surreal lines that float over top the harmony...making for a really surreal sensual vibe. _That_ is another thing that's always endeared me to Deftones; the sensuality of their music...and exploring the pathos of human sexuality. Gah...I could go on and on about why I think this band is one of the best...but no one wants to hear me rant online. Over and out. :)
So many heavy music fans discard this band as weak and soft. Every musician I know and have worked with, love and respect this band for their originality and ability to constantly change and expand. Music isn’t rigid and should never be labeled or grouped. If you expand your horizons, open your mind and heart, you’ll discover something truly profound and beautiful!!
@@djinnxx7050 it's not exactly heavy metal, and some metal heads like that lamb of god/slipknot esque type metal exclusively. They're missing out big-time not listening to deftones but everyone has their own tastes :)
*[“Swerve City” Lyrics by Deftones]* [Verse 1] She breaks her horses With strange distant voices [Chorus] That travel through the air, oh They travel through the air, oh [Verse 2] She tames me with her voices As she plays around with the forces [Chorus] That travel through the air, oh They travel through the air, oh [Bridge] Distant howling out It keeps you floating around Distant howling out Forces floating around [Verse 3] She breaks her horses With strange distant voices [Chorus] That travel through the air, oh They travel through the air, oh Oh, oh

+avedic Part of the same generation and completely agree with you. Tool and Deftones are the only bands that survived that era in my playlist. I loved that the Deftones, and especially Chino, grew with me as I grew myself. Chino specifically was constantly getting involved with much smaller up and coming bands that would have been considered underground, but were very popular within that niche (like Dead Poetic in the early 2000s). Things like that helped keep them relevant and I respect the hell out of them for lending their position to help boost some of these bands. To this day, I still think I will cry when I finally hear the Eros album for the first time. Damn Cheng.....it wasn't suppose to end that way.
I love this video. It gives me a familiar feeling. I cant explain. You have to live in the desert. Its like a spiritual solitude or a silent euphoric eerieness. Like I said cant explain.
I've known at least one other artist to do a similar thing. Alex Clare, on The Lateness of the Hour, staggered the names of some of his tracks. The name of the following track would actually fit the meaning and lyrics of the song before it (or after, I can't remember), at least on the surface.
This band will always live through the hearts of millions so much therapy for me is listening too there music and other bands rock on ❤️🥹🤘don’t stop making bangers
She breaks her horses With strange distant voices That travel through the air They travel through the air She tames with her voices As she plays around with the forces That travel through the air They travel through the air Ooh the distant howling out Keeps you floating around Oh distant howling out Forces floating around She breaks her horses With strange distant voices That travel through the air They travel through the air
Its the Deftones ,if you a fan you shouldn't care,its a killer song and a awesome CD, I've been a fan of theirs for ever, band change and its called living life and drawing their experiences.Chi will be missed indeed,we are all lucky they stayed together and put out great music,I'm sure Chi would be damn proud of this band and this CD! RIP Chi , My 2 cents
I've Always Ben Savage It’s not copied, they used a different rhythm and it’s literally just one chord. This isn’t that unique in itself to cry plagiarism. Their other new songs have Linkin Park elements, doesn’t make them copies, just an homage to bands they apparently like
Deftones really are one of those bands without any bad albums. Yes they have released some slightly weaker albums but everything they've produced is pure gold.
This song makes your mind change course. It doesn't matter where you are, what you are doing or what you are thinking, when this song comes on, your brain automatically starts reminiscing your life.
Can we just think for a moment on how when he was pulling into the "driveway" he had his turn signal on... in the middle of the desert... probably the second car on the road that day...
the only thing i don’t like of this song it’s because too short. a masterpiece like this needs to be longer, at least 4 or 5 minutes. i love it, anyway, like all the rest of deftones songs.
I was at this party and the playlist was shit and full of wank like fucking Lil Wayne and stuff but then Swerve City came and I literally fucking screamed I was like "Holy fuck! Who the fuck put on Deftones?! This is amazing" It was a good night :)

I remember the first time I listened this song, riff hooked me up instantly.
Koi No Yokan its one of their FINEST works IMO.
Yes, definitely their best albums
Koi No Yokan is a modern masterpiece! Every song is a gem!
And that´s why I love Deftones so much. They are so long in the business already, but they´re still fresh. While other bands are just a copy of their past.
This is my 3rd favorite album from them and that means A LOT!
Absolutely, for me is the best Deftones Album!

The drums in this song are absolutely superb. Damn.
That's how Abe do...
100%
Thank you; I feel like Abe never gets enough credit. To be fair, I’m quite partial to Chino’s vocals, but Abe rounds out the band beautifully.
mhm
Abe is THE MAN.
listening to deftones always gives me a certain feeling. i have no idea what the feeling is, but i love it
The melody is so surreal and hypnotizing
Its called divine intervention or body and mind ascension
@@wishes_._ Ahhhh that works great for me. I'll have to remember that when trying to describe it to Non Deftoners in the future 👍
Its the feeling of pleasure i think :)
It's because they're different in a good way like Radiohead. They're so good you can't put them in a single category. It's hard to know why it's so good, it's just so damn good
The Deftones never disappoint...These guys are about as good as it gets

*[“Swerve City” Lyrics by Deftones]*
[Verse 1]
She breaks her horses
With strange distant voices
[Chorus]
That travel through the air, oh
They travel through the air, oh
[Verse 2]
She tames me with her voices
As she plays around with the forces
[Chorus]
That travel through the air, oh
They travel through the air, oh
[Bridge]
Distant howling out
It keeps you floating around
Distant howling out
Forces floating around
[Verse 3]
She breaks her horses
With strange distant voices
[Chorus]
That travel through the air, oh
They travel through the air, oh
Oh, oh
Te amo diego caetano
Te amo diego cateano
The MOMENT I heard this song for the first time I felt the riff in my stomach and I immediately fell in love. I damn near gave myself whiplash
It's a trip for sure! Beautiful.

As the kids say today, 100
Yes yes and yes. We are the pioneers of our time, our lives would be a waste if it wasn't for us.
Please Deftones NEVER stop creating music!!!!!!!
New album this year
That horse should be a white pony...
Thought the same!
Horse should be cocaine?
cocaine luggin palimino?
Or a Blk Stalliion
the fans couldnt handle that
Koi no yokan is a masterpiece, up there witth the Tool albums
She likes horses and he likes cars. They travel through the air and swerved into each other. Boom.
Deftones is a band all on its own, fueled by the magic of Chino... every time I listen to them (Team Sleep, Palms, Crossings), I go into a trance.
They’re fueled by their rhythm section for sure but chino is definitely part of their uniqueness
July 2024 anyone ?
yepp
Good music doesn't die
True@@quabtwab
Koi No Yokan is easily the pinnacle of early Deftones. This is the vibe and crunch.
One of the most underrated songs by Deftones 🤘
That riff causes a mini earthquake every time I hear it
I love this video. It gives me a familiar feeling. I cant explain. You have to live in the desert. Its like a spiritual solitude or a silent euphoric eerieness. Like I said cant explain.
The desert is present emptiness. Life and death.
This is a great way to start a musical oddysey. After this I cannot beat it. Each track puts me in intersterallar overdrive. Perfection at its finest.
Chino's coming to take the horse away in his tiny car. Lady says, "nuh uh".
Gunfight ensues.
This is my favorite song they do live. It is magical in person 🖤
There are scenes from this video that would make excellent wall-sized photos.
Loving Deftones more every day ♥
I think the music videos for Swerve City and Romantic Dreams got switched around.
No because the lyrics of this song speak of horses.
haha true. I guess I meant more about the song titles matching the music videos.
song title switch I meant. haha
I've known at least one other artist to do a similar thing. Alex Clare, on The Lateness of the Hour, staggered the names of some of his tracks. The name of the following track would actually fit the meaning and lyrics of the song before it (or after, I can't remember), at least on the surface.
Romantic Dreams is right on the spot as is, videotrack of my life..
deftones makes anything good
this song is amazing live, really gets the crowd going
“OHHH-OHHHH!”
This band will always live through the hearts of millions so much therapy for me is listening too there music and other bands rock on ❤️🥹🤘don’t stop making bangers

What does it mean?
deftones riffs made me die...omg
Rip
the end made me smile
Cuz you don't understand why she suddenly pulled out a gun?
I feel like someday I’m going to accidentally snap my neck from swinging my hair around to this song
u will get neck muscles like Corey Taylor from Slipknot,dont worry ;)
Rock on brother!

Same! So many songs would make a perfect boardsport video part.
my favorite part is when shes riding on the horse
My favorite part is 1:00-2:56
Same here dude
she's riding TO THE BEAT OF THE RIFF:)
i gotta buy this album again the first copy i worn out haha
I love this version of Dear Diary
it´s a weak version.
Sounds nothing like dear diary

Its such a basic fucking riff you have to be delusional that someone would jack this from another band. Its nothing but a mere coincidence
@I've Always Ben Savage fuck off
Great video! Deftones are always rocking! RIP Chi Cheng
this song being the opening to koi no yokan sets the tone for the rest of the album perfectly.
who came here after dear diary
Now listen to their discography. You’re welcome.
Exactly
Ok this is my first time here and it's like Tokio Hotel and 30stm and Smashing Pumpkins had a baby
@@tomfabian1754 i already listen to deftones
@@HalloweenLyn ur having a stroke please report to the nearest doctor
Is anybody else loving that bass feel in the chorus?!
This song gives me chills and I love it
Definitely one of my faves.

Last few years I haven't listened to much music but lately I've been revisiting music I like and I still love Deftones ! This song is evidence of that
Why is it that the Deftones are at their best when something with their music (album title/lyrics, etc.) have to do with horses?
Or the ocean aka waves. Haahha
@@Niamhdm7871 Seahorses.
This song has so much energy, and the video shows it. The girl riding without a doubt hot. And the weapon is the finishing touch.
Chino is polite enough to use his turn signal... even when nobody is around.
Something about this song that just makes me feel good inside...Luv the Deftones.
this band is so good.
Favorite band of all time. Love you deftones
Now I now where bring me the horizon find this riff😂
@lana dear diary
To be fair this riff is as simple as it can get. Dear Diary of BMTH is way more killer song imho
Every time I listen to this song I have to watch the video cause the horse running makes it that much better
Excellent band, excellent songs, great and thanks, many thanks from France
This song kick started me as one of their fans. Will see them next time they come around.
I always felt like this song would go nicely with a racing game.
How do airplanes get from one place to another?

Deftones have to be top 5 for consistency. One of very very few bands where you can repeatedly play albums from start to finish.
just Koi No Yokan being the most underrated deftones album
this is prob one of the best songs ever made
Deftones nunca me decepciona..😎🖤🔥🎵🎶🇵🇪🤘🏻
Deftones is such an expert at combining the heavy aspects of metal but also the newer pop elements of the 2010s and they somehow mix so well together
12 years later and still mesmerizing.
Love the song and the video! Its amazing! :)
Simona Kamburova youuu❤
This song is completly amazing thnk u hombre for showin me this greatness!!!!!
I don't know why this song makes me emotional
This album is a masterpiece. I love all your music bit this one is the peak in my opinion.
I saw them when i was in the Army... best band in the world. Listened to them in Iraq as well to help. Thanks Deftones!!!
Just in case y'all weren't aware, this song rocks!
this song is DEADLY
Swerved here from radiant city
If anyone's curious, the lady in the video is Tamara Feldman. You can thank me later.
I knew that from the start! She's beautiful! My favorite movies of hers when she played Marybeth on Hatchet!
She kind of looks like Chinos actual wife a bit lol
She doesn't look like Marty Feldman's daughter lol
@@endcognitivedissonancenow1372 I noticed that!
@@jessbrewer8436 Made me do a double take.
Who cares about the video, this is one of the best Deftones songs around!
Mr.Cunnigham never disappoints on the tubs. This song is up there with Minerva for their more melodic songs. Sacs finest
Anyone that says Deftones are soft hasn't listened to them from the beginning. That is all.
It´s AMAGAZING !!!!
One of the best songs of deftones
I love the new video
I hope they do a video for "Romantic Dreams" and "Entombed"
Im in love with this song!!
She rideeeee her horsees 🗣️🔊❗
When I listen to this so do my neighbors.
Dear Gorgeous French Woman on the L Train platform from the G train Sunday night...this is the Video that I want you to see. Hope you Love the Album!

This whole glorious album helped me get thru my divorce back in 2015. Love these guys and this damn album.
just waiting you here in São Paulo for your second time... I'm already in tears
SAO PAULO! we love you
the only thing i don’t like of this song it’s because too short. a masterpiece like this needs to be longer, at least 4 or 5 minutes. i love it, anyway, like all the rest of deftones songs.
Same with Street Carp
I believe that's what makes this song unique ❤️
