Imagine being so inspired by Robert Smith in 1988 that you start a metal band with a Cure influence pivotal to its sound, but then you get to actually collab with him on wax. They say never meet your heroes, but two just saved the day in a big way.
@@ffsih8thene So cool, I didn't know that, thanks. Yeah, I just read that article where Chino said they'd been e-mail buddies for 20 years, so makes sense. :)
I read in a recent interview with Chino about this song, he wrote it 2 years ago when he was just in a downright depressed state. Sitting alone in his room, feeling lonely and just plain sad. Sorry I can't provide a link to this interview, google it, I think metal injection is one of them that posted the interview
Deftones created something no one knew was needed in music. Chino and his Duran Duran Depeche Mode The Cure love, Stephen with his haunting mathematical guitar riffs, Abe with his hip hop and pop drums, it shouldn't have worked but it did and the world has been better because of it. They single handedly created so many new genres and still 30+years later are still blowing us away
@@davejames1926 I mean, he nailed his part and it fits the song so well so there's not much to complain about. But I agree, could definitely use some more singing. He has a powerful voice
its viewed by people who seek out music rather than those who are fed it. I think its beautiful when a band can maintain these relatively low view counts and still be headliners.
After listening to this song a dozen or so times, it's slowly turned into one of my favourite Crosses tracks. When Robert Smith comes in on the chorus.... Jesus... Shivers every time.
Just why ? Music is made to everyone to enjoy (or not) and it's always better when everyone can get acces to good music. I would love to hear this on radio.
Lyrics: I'd like to feel whole again I traveled deep through your head I'm still lonely somehow I feel lonelier now Blessed are we all human? Blessed for all we are human beings If I could view the world again I'd try to see it through your lens I feel lonelier now I'm still lonely somehow I can't shake it I can't shake it I can't shake it I can't shake it Shake it... I'd like to feel at home again Drowning peaceful through your hands I feel lonelier now I'm still lonely somehow Blessed are we all human? Blessed for all we are human beings I can't shake it I can't shake it I can't shake it I can't shake it Shake it...
I love when I tell people that The Cure is my favorite band. You'll get a "who?", or a look of "why?". Heh, oh I don't know, they likely influenced your favorite band. We see them every chance we get, last show was Hollywood Bowl of which Deftones also performed. Holy COW they rocked the house, sounded exactly like they do on their albums, good times.
This song.. This is only the second song ever to hit me in the feels. I sat in this chair, had an edible, listened to this over and over with my eyes closed and just shed tears. Especially once I caught on to the lyrics. I have never called a song a masterpiece until now. This is the first.
@@Saint_nobody not gonna ruin something that was already perfect to begin with by watching a REMAKE. This era of filmmaking is a joke compared to then, we're just dollar signs buying piss poor attempts to cash in. fuck. that.
Add Robert Smith to anything and it’s guaranteed to bang. You guys never disappoint. I was hoping it was Robert, the view didn’t show his full name but he is the only Robert I could think you would collaborate with.
I know the voice of Chino from Deftones and I know the voice of Robert Smith from The Cure. but together it is something sublime. thanks guys for this song. this is definitely a masterpiece ✝️✝️✝️♥️♥️♥️
This and Runner were devastating and Beautiful to me. Title track seduced me like it was supposed to ❤ I'm well acquainted with Chino's vibe, so I feel I got a very clear view of the artistic flair of Shaun Lopez. These two making music together is 🤌
Cruising to this song today, with the windows open to the cool crisp fall air and the gray rolling clouds really put me in a Zen state. Felt like microdosing good acid. Sometimes a song is perfect for the moment. Chino is a vibe
I am 41, and saw Deftones at Warped Tour 98 in Seattle. They changed my life with 7 words when I was just a 6th grader, so that show was an amazing, harrowing experience.(was up against the rails, as a scrawny 8th grader) However, if you had told me that Chino would be a part of not only more killer Deftones stuff 20+ years in the future, but a whole new project that made some of my favorite songs ever, I would have slapped you and rolled you a J with you. Crosses is some of the most transportational, and deeply infectious music I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The facade of reality is crumbling, but the music and energy we generate remains eternal. Thank you for all the amazing vibrations Chino and company.
always the cure, deftones chino, have sounded so heavenly, dreamy and beautiful when they worked in their collabs. this song is so beautifully sad, I'm speechless. I love crosses so much, and deftones, and the cure of course, so thank you very much for this 💙
You guys Amaze me every single song… I’m like there is no way it can get better… better and better every song!! Thank you chino for the spooky vocals and Robert smith (just wow) thank you Shaun for all the spooky dreamy etheric vibes 🖤🎶🖤
I think I may have commented previously bcuz I cannot stop listening to this entire album🖤✝️✝️✝️🖤I'm obsessed & I know it & IDGAF!!! I'll be seeing them 2/20 in nyc & I'm excited af!!!
It hasn't even been 2 weeks since this record dropped & not only is this my absolute favorite vocal performance, not just of Chinø, my all time favorite vocalist in the Histøry of music, but my favorite vocal ever. As well as becoming my favorite song. Thank You Fellas & Robert.
I can’t stop listening to this album. I’ve been going on car rides just to experience it. It’s the perfect October record. I’ve turned five people on to this project so far, but honestly, anyone that’s hanging out with me in the foreseeable future is getting inoculated
When you've been away from this song for a few months and randomly come back to it following other crosses breadcrumbs and it still hits like the first time. 🤌 superb
I think its really cool that Chino was able too work with a Robert wich was a HUGE inspiration for him as a young man.. Im sure its been a dream of his too achieve this milestone in life..
I saw this collab coming back in 2019 when I saw the deftones and the cure at the daydream festival I was waiting for them to do “if only tonight we could sleep” together…. I am soooo glad it was crosses he collaborated with !!!! The vibes…….🖤👻🖤

Crazy part is Rob basically interjected during the Fur to Pony age and helped Chino with his lyrics. Amazing seeing pure legends like this collide
@@ffsih8thene So cool, I didn't know that, thanks. Yeah, I just read that article where Chino said they'd been e-mail buddies for 20 years, so makes sense. :)
Huge influence was Prince too!!
His sensuality. From Morenos mouth himself.
Now I get it.

Hearing chino and Robert Smith sing together is amazing
So perfectly amazing!
Dude i can't hear Robert. 😅
@@VAL3NTIN3 or maybe you "Can't shake it"? 😉
What are you talking about, Robert Smith barely sings
@@davejames1926 I mean, he nailed his part and it fits the song so well so there's not much to complain about. But I agree, could definitely use some more singing. He has a powerful voice
It's crazy how underrated Crosses is. This band should be getting millions of viewers
its viewed by people who seek out music rather than those who are fed it. I think its beautiful when a band can maintain these relatively low view counts and still be headliners.
Yes, like Khruangbin and Tame Impala to name a couple
Crosses + Robert Smith!? It's not even my birthday. What a gift!
Today was all of our birthdays
Ironically, it is my birthday. So much good music has dropped on my birthday; was anticipating this album. It's really good!
Was mine lmao😭😭 I realised bc of this comment
After listening to this song a dozen or so times, it's slowly turned into one of my favourite Crosses tracks. When Robert Smith comes in on the chorus.... Jesus... Shivers every time.
The fact that this will never be mainstream and only a select few of people that appreciate this kinda of music will consume it makes me happy!
Just why ? Music is made to everyone to enjoy (or not) and it's always better when everyone can get acces to good music. I would love to hear this on radio.
Lyrics:
I'd like to feel whole again
I traveled deep through your head
I'm still lonely somehow
I feel lonelier now
Blessed are we all human?
Blessed for all we are human beings
If I could view the world again
I'd try to see it through your lens
I feel lonelier now
I'm still lonely somehow
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
Shake it...
I'd like to feel at home again
Drowning peaceful through your hands
I feel lonelier now
I'm still lonely somehow
Blessed are we all human?
Blessed for all we are human beings
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
I can't shake it
Shake it...
😮this is magical
I love this band. Chino has so much talent. He's a genuine musical artist.
And all he had to say was "I can't shake it!"
How organic Chino & Robert sound together 😮
And that post-punk / gothic guitar licks in chorus!
Oh my god, Chino & Robert in the SAME SONG? This is the best day of my life. This song is so melancholically beautiful.
I love when I tell people that The Cure is my favorite band. You'll get a "who?", or a look of "why?". Heh, oh I don't know, they likely influenced your favorite band. We see them every chance we get, last show was Hollywood Bowl of which Deftones also performed. Holy COW they rocked the house, sounded exactly like they do on their albums, good times.
This “Cure riff” is literally everything ♡
This song.. This is only the second song ever to hit me in the feels. I sat in this chair, had an edible, listened to this over and over with my eyes closed and just shed tears. Especially once I caught on to the lyrics. I have never called a song a masterpiece until now. This is the first.
You're on the gay shit.
@@OnPointFirearms Because having emotions are bad 💪 thanks for reminding me!
How I felt in 01 when I heard reflection by tool on mushrooms.
Imagining a new Crow movie with this in the film. This song sounds like a legendy classic already. Thank you Chino and Robert
Legendary*
At this point, the only thing that will sell me on the upcoming reboot/ remake, is a solid soundtrack.
@@Saint_nobody not gonna ruin something that was already perfect to begin with by watching a REMAKE. This era of filmmaking is a joke compared to then, we're just dollar signs buying piss poor attempts to cash in. fuck. that.
@chea7z913 basically
Add Robert Smith to anything and it’s guaranteed to bang. You guys never disappoint. I was hoping it was Robert, the view didn’t show his full name but he is the only Robert I could think you would collaborate with.
In case anyone was wondering. The video loop is a clip from Tomorrow Always Comes (1941).
I'll be contributing my usual 10,000 plays to this masterpiece
✝️❤️🔥✝️❤️🔥✝️
The chorus with Robert Smith’s guitar riffs sends a chill down my spine. So damn good!!!
Without Question.
I know the voice of Chino from Deftones and I know the voice of Robert Smith from The Cure. but together it is something sublime. thanks guys for this song. this is definitely a masterpiece ✝️✝️✝️♥️♥️♥️
Best track on the album for me. Incredible collab.
This and Runner were devastating and Beautiful to me. Title track seduced me like it was supposed to ❤ I'm well acquainted with Chino's vibe, so I feel I got a very clear view of the artistic flair of Shaun Lopez. These two making music together is 🤌
that fuckin opening synth what a state of tranquil bliss, this band is legendary.
reminds me of final fantasy theme arpeggio
I thought was a The Weeknd track actually ;)
This song is the jewel in the crown imo. It’s dark and beautiful. A perfect song to top off a phenomenal album.
This is hauntingly beautiful 🖤
Two planets collide!!
What a feat!
Those Robert Smith drops are incredible. ❤
Every song on this album hits me.
Feeling lonely and down and listening to this is what my soul needed.
❤ you're not alone 🫶🥺 please keep going ✊
Same. But u know what? We got this! Hang in there! ❤
Alone > loneliness ❤
The “Blessed, are we all human?” refrain is gorgeous.
EASILY one of the best things yet Chino has put his voice to. I didn't think they could top "Option" with this project, but what did I know?
My favorite track on the album, it's incredible.
Agreed
Eargasm, thank you Chino and Robert,🙏🤘
This album deserves a grammy 💯💯💯

*looks up in Final Fantasy*
No, I appreciate it's a simple scale. Love the song!
Chino's haunting vocals mixed with Robert Smith's timeless singing, what else can I ask for?
My favorite off the album ugh it's so good 🖤
When you've been away from this song for a few months and randomly come back to it following other crosses breadcrumbs and it still hits like the first time. 🤌 superb
I think its really cool that Chino was able too work with a Robert wich was a HUGE inspiration for him as a young man.. Im sure its been a dream of his too achieve this milestone in life..
How much this echoes in my lonely chamber of all things have died now and that's all getting older is
That guitar riff at 3:10 feels like terraria
Glad you put this together
Wonderful collaboration
Needed more Robert Smith on his own to actually say its a collab , but still a great song!
This is def the Cure for this melancholy evening
Niveau émotion,Chino est très très fort,je kiffe ce mec!!!! Peace
Oh my ghostly heaven's vibe!
I saw this collab coming back in 2019 when I saw the deftones and the cure at the daydream festival I was waiting for them to do “if only tonight we could sleep” together…. I am soooo glad it was crosses he collaborated with !!!! The vibes…….🖤👻🖤
