on a cold night of 2003, i was sad and kind of depressed, i just wanted to sleep, but i couldn't .. i turned on the tv on mtv and i saw this video that changed my life ... deftones really saved me
Been a fan since 1997. I'm 47 and bought this album the week it was released. Baffles me that it's 17 years old already when it still feels so new to me. Not my favourite Deftones album overall , but it sure has some great individual tracks on it, this being one of them. Just can't believe how quick the time has passed since 2000. The moral of this is to the younger fans. Appreciate your late teens to late twenties because once you get to your late 20's time really flies. Pink Floyd were so right when they said "And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no-one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun". Peace and love to you all :)
"Baffles me that it's 17 years old already when it still feels so new to me" I think it's because this song wasn't overplayed to death on the radio at the time, like some other big hits. There are many great classic tunes which I totally respect but just can't stomach to listen really because of how overplayed they were/are. Sometimes not being very popular is a kind of a blessing for a song in the long term
Truth. When I was 18 I thought I had all the time in the world. Then it feels like I blinked and bam I'm almost a 30 year old lawyer. (Turn 30 next month) 😱😱😱
This is not a break up song. "God bless you all" and "knees to the earth" has religious connotations which indicates that Minerva is not some ex-girlfriend, but the goddess of wisdom. And she isn't actually singing, it's realisation that creeps into your consciousness. Wisdom doesn't come over time, but through introspection. What is over? Your ignorance. Your time of not realizing. That is youth. That can be devastating and it happens to all of us.
Deftones have always been the epitome of everything I ever wanted in music. Rage, beauty, depressing, soaring, joyful, nostalgic. I’ve listened to thousands of albums and hundreds of bands spanning all different kinds of genres. Deftones will always be my favorite band ever.
My dad died early this morning. This was his favorite band. I don’t know much about them but I like what I heard. I’m gonna miss my dad. He went to soon. REST IN PEACE : Matthew Blondon Update It hasn’t even been a year and I have lost my grandma today. She was the heart of the whole family. Words cannot describe how hurt I am. Over the summer of my dad’s passing I learned guitar and I played for my grandma all the time and her dying wish was for me to play Wicked Game by Chris Isaac next to her in the hospital room. I want to thank you all for the support just with the few words. This has been my support for the past 9-10 months. Pretty much every day I have seen a response and I have liked every one of them. I have no clue what my mom and I will do as of now but I hope something will happen that will save us. At least I know my grandma and dad will be together somewhere and they are looking over me till the day I die. They were both stubborn to leave like the Scorpios they are 💙 REST IN PEACE : Sabra Boyd
Sorry to hear about your dad. He must have been very young. In time you will be ok, it’s ok to be mad and hurt and pissed and everything in between. Stay strong brother
I’m sorry about your loss. I lost my son 10 months ago he was 24 years old and his birthday is 7-2 so you can imagine how I feel. This was one of his favorite band . I pray the lord to forgive my baby and bless his soul. I will pray for you. I accept God’s will and he will give us peace you will see.
Your dad had great taste. I hope you get a chance to appreciate why he loved deftones. Take the love you had for your father and spread it among every random person you meet for the rest of your life. Your dad will be proud and alot of people will think you are a nice person. Good luck.
You can make music that will top the charts, sell & earn in millions. You can also make music that will stand the test of time, music with depth like the sea. This song is one of them.
I know what you mean. I feel this very strongly about Goodbye Horses. I love that song, it’s the greatest piece of music I’ve ever heard. I wish it wasn’t associated with Buffalo Bill. I wish more people could feel what I feel when I listen to that song.
I get all, numb When she sings it's over Such a strange numb And it brings my knees to the earth And God bless you all For the song you saved us You're the same, numb When you sing it's over Such a strange numb It could bring back peace to the earth So God bless you all For the song you saved us, oh For the hearts you break, every time you moan I get all, numb We're the same numb And it brings our knees to the earth So God bless you all For the song you saved us, oh For the hearts you break, every time you moan And God bless you all on the earth
@@mave143 you must have found their very few commercial hits. Most of their stuff digs way deeper than this. But to each his own. RATM and SOAD are probably more what your looking lyrically.
I remember the first day Chi came out to our job site to work as a carpenter. He lasted a couple weeks. It was his first and last job. Nothing motivates a musician like a hard day at work. RIP brother.
Deftones are very mindful of their spiritually, but bring it in a that is beautiful, not in your face but touches every emotion to what you feel what they feel when they play the song. Thank you Deftones for that❤❤❤❤
This song made me a fan of deftones heard this while working out in the gym once. Always listened to rap music but decided to switch it up and this song came up. Do no regret!
"Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, medicine, commerce, handcrafts, poetry, the arts in general, and later, war. In many ways similar to Greek goddess Athena." Considering this and examining the lyrics leads me to believe this song is about a great battle (Possibly even The Battle Of Carthage where Rome finally ended The Punic Wars because the setting of this video is a desert) that has just been finished and the goddess of war is singing "it's over" and soldier's falling to there knee's in relief of surviving this battle. That's my idea for the meaning behind Minerva.
I have a very strong emotional connection with Minerva. During my adolescence I suffered a lot from insomnia, and to this day I still have a bit of trouble sleeping well, until i discovered this song. It was the first Deftones song i heard. For about 2 years of my life I could only sleep listening to this song. Thanks Deftones for this masterpiece. I'm Brazilian and i don't speak english fluently, so i hope these words make some sense :)
Это просто его внутреннее ощущение, когда он неосознанно делает нечто неидеальное до безупречности . все его вокальные партии постоянно преодолевают запрещенные зоны, то падая бендами вниз, то полутоновыми отклонениями от гармонии, то больными вибрато или срывами в крик. Это ощущения. И в этом Чино уникален. Один во Вселенной.
For me it's about music itself. It's so clear when he says "song" and "sing". We can find so much confort and peace trough ours emotional storms on music. It can break our hearts as well and connect us to our deepest feelings. There are songs that can really save us... this is my favourite song on earth!
When i just turned 17 the car i was in was hit by a train and i had went into a coma. They didn’t think i was gonna make it. My bf and family always played Deftones for me while in my coma especially Digital Bath. When I woke up Webn the rock station of Cincinnati gave me tickets to go see Deftones. I’ll never forget it 🖤🤍
This song is the kind that makes you want to turn your back on everything and just walk away. Not with anger, not with resentment, but with clarity and serenity...
I love the way this man sings, especially in this song. Is like some sort of epic celestial melody that goes through your veins and could bring you through an emotional rollercoaster. Awesome.
I'm a 38 year old deftones fan, and have recently come to discover that I have lived with an anxiety disorder my whole life, considering the way I live to be 'normal'. For the best part of the last 21 years, deftones have taken me to a place I need, ,,,the 'place' I'd rather be. As I live in my new realization, and come to terms with who I am, today I live inside of the deftones. .....as they live in me. I'm certain that most deftones fans understand what I mean by that! - "... I get all numb... We're the same numb.... and it brings our knees to the earth!!.."
+Reno Ramadhani Eh. I was just kidding. Minerva is actually a really nice and unique name for a girl. May she be as smart and have as good a musical taste as her father!
Driving in the desert on a warm night in a convertible with the top down, a million stars all around, your love beside you, blasting Deftones. Your heart fills.
man this song almost brings a tear to my eye. its so fucking beautiful i cant even express it in words you just feel it throughout your whole body and soul. favorite band by far
+adrenaline I can totally relate to your feeling. Happened to me the first time I heard it. Wish this equally beautifully made music video has a higher-resolution version.
adrenaline: Your not only in your thinking. A lot of softer deftones songs, such as this one, are very emotional and sometimes tear jerking songs. They are also very haunting as well, which makes it better.
Idk why but deftones really give me a cold/nostalgic vibe, is it just me or is there anyone else. Like there song “entombed” and “beauty school” made me feel some type of way lol 😅
@@petegomez5280 What happened to you?. That song breaks me up. My Dad was in hospice and I was wearing out my Koi No Yokan CD during that period..... "We're alive somewhere else." 🤘
Why are they SO good? Been a fan since '97 and I just turned 40 last month. When I was 15, I remember walking my girlfriend home quite often and then walking the next 15 minutes back to my house (we couldn't really hang out together past like, 9pm.. "parent rules").. I would play Around the Fur in my cd walkman (anti skip).. it was Christmas time and there were lights everywhere. I'll never forget walking home those nights.. in love.. first love.. feeling those new experiences and thinking you had it all figured out..
When Around the Fur came out I was in 11th grade. I would listen to that album every day on the way to school and that album started a long love affair with Deftones. There is definitely something magical about those moments in youth and the music that was the soundtrack to those days. Deftones was a big part of that for me.
I get all... Numb When she sings, it's over Such a strange... Numb And it brings my knees to the earth And God bless you all For the song you saved... Us You're the same... Numb When you sing, it's over Such a strange... Numb It could bring back peace to the Earth So God bless you all For the song you saved... Us... All For the hearts you break... Every time you moan I get all... Numb We're the same... Numb And it brings our knees to the earth So God bless you all For the song you saved... Us... All For the hearts you break... Every time you moan And God bless you all on the Earth
IIRANGERIII that doesn't mean they can't be influenced by shoegaze...they have always been different than their contemporaries because they doesn't hold on just one genre.
I get all numb When she sings that it's over Such a strange numb And it brings my knees to the earth And God bless you all For the song you sang us You're the same numb When you sing it's over Such a strange numb It could bring back peace to the earth So God bless you all For the song you sang us all For the hearts you break, every time you moan I get all numb We're the same numb And it brings our knees to the earth So God bless you all For the song you sang us all For the hearts you break, every time you moan And God bless you all on the earth
This song was the one I danced to at my wedding with my wife. Every time I hear it, it brings me one of the greatest moments I've ever had in my life so far.
There is something almost orchestral about this song. The way Chino weaves the melody around the glacial guitar and gargantuan groove. Light and shade have always been at the heart of Deftones. No better example than this. A great place to start for those new to this truly unique band.
Can’t believe in my 45 years I just discovered Deftones recently, and this song is a masterpiece that strikes deep chords within me. Such beautiful tragedy.
45 This year , should be dead 10 times over . Is what it is , year they are amazing . What an awesome human experience to have in life are they not . Wish I saw them live . The first time I heard them was my own summer
Whoever directed this video had definitely just seen Pink Floyd live in Pompeii. The desolate setting, the amps, the lights, the camera panning up over the mixer. Very cool.
+Non Serviam Beastie Boys do a tip of the hat to Pink Floyd live in Pompeii for the video/song "Gratitude", it is pretty cool which I'm sure you are aware.
I get all numb When she sings that "It's over" Such a strange numb And it brings my knees to the earth And God bless you all For the song you sang us You're the same numb When you sing "It's over" Such a strange numb It could bring back peace to the Earth So God bless you all For the song you sang us all For the hearts you break Every time you moan I get all numb We're the same numb And it brings our knees to the earth
The band has described this vid being shot with the heavy winds and sandstorm-like conditions, an extremely uncomfortable process. The end result is quite brilliant.
For me it's about music itself. It's so clear when he says "song" and "sing". We can find so much confort and peace trough our emotional storms on music. It can breaks our hearts as well and connect us to our deepest feelings. There are songs that can really save us... This is my favourite song on earth!
This song makes me feel so high, Deftones music makes me feel so high. Is a very weird sensation you know, is heavy but Chino's voice makes your mind fly in sort point.
I just loose myself whenever I listen to this band. Every negative emotion leaves me and I just serene. I have no idea how they do it, but however they do, they're musical geniuses
There's a big beautiful statue of Minerva (Goddess of war and wisdom) in my hometown Guadalajara, México and this song always reminds me of it. This name is awesome like the song!
I was 17 and was so underwhellmed when this album came out, but as a major fan i stil listened to it every day. Now years past and it hits on another level. Life is very strange. First time in history the future is dawning with unknown on every single of us, and all generations are united in the era of lucid nostalgia, empowerment and emotional chaos. Their music has carried me through and im glad to be alive in this moment in universal timeline. Have a great day everyone.
+jorge maciel exacto. tenía 14 añitos, crecí con bandas mexicanas y extranjeras gracias a mi hermano, me lleva 8 años y me enseñó todo lo que sé (lo poco que sé más bien) era buenisimo, antes ser "rara" si era raro, ahora ya cualquiera es "diferente" 😂😂😂😂 tengo 2 bebés pero siempre hay tiempo para escuchar buena música.
My sons favourite band. I listen to this song so much now he's moved out of home, because I miss him. I've always listened to similar but somehow missed these guys along the way.
+daleinen Never mate. Nothing beats being sober and listening to Deftones. I had the privilege of being able to see them live and had the choice of either being wasted or sober. I have absolutely no regrets of being sober that night.
This is so emotional. His voice, the nostalgic wave the song gives off. Just enough to bring a tear to someone's eye. Deftones is and always will be my favorite band.
I get goose bumps all over when I hear this song, by the end I'm dancing like a child utterly lost in the pure bliss of music. Thank you Deftones. You save us.
I get chills listening to this. It's like that feeling you get when you're in the shower and it's the right amount of warm and you get goosebumps everywhere cause it just feels really amazing. That's what I associate Deftones with.
Can't tell if I love or hate that kids are fanboying a band I listened to as a kid. Is this what our dads felt like when we started wearing pink floyd shirts?
I love deftones for one reason, and that reason is the fact that I always hate their songs at first. After a couple listens, you can start feeling the vibe and you find the true beauty of every one of their songs. Many of my friends have the same reaction, they hear one of their songs and go "it just sounds like random noise". After they listen to it more and more, they completely turn around and go "you know what, this song is pretty dope". Keep doing your thing deftones, I have yet to be disappointed
Still remember the overwhelming sense of awe this song left me feeling back when it came out when I was in 7th grade. Not really the biggest Deftones fan, but this song will always have a special place in my heart and my ears.
The first Deftones song I ever heard was Change (In The House Of Flies). It was on Big Shiny Tunes 5, and even though it was a watered-down radio edit of the song, I thought it was pretty amazing, but it wasn't enough to really get me into the band. Then I heard My Own Summer (Shove It) on the soundtrack for The Matrix, and I thought to myself, "This might be a band worth looking into more", but for whatever reason I just never got around to it. Then a few years later, one fateful day I randomly switched on the radio and I heard Minerva on the airwaves for the first time, and I immediately fell completely in love. It's to date still my favourite Deftones song.
The first time I heard a Deftones song was Change (In The House Of Flies) at the end of the Dragon Ball Z Cooler movie, and I've been a Deftones fan ever since.
There's no better way to explain how mesmerizing, beautiful, and hypnotic this song is, except for one word: PERFECT. It feels like you're in a trance in another dimension or something.
How can a song be so powerful and so oddly soothing. The first 2 minutes are like muscle cars bursting trees along a country road then 2:25 hits and I'm like relaxed and I calm down just to speed up again for that last chorus.
Whenever I hear Sade playing in some furniture store or as I walk past a little lounge club, I think of these guys, think of that amazing voice and that juxtaposition between heavy and angelic
True story: the first time I heard this song I was at a Best Buy and they were promoting this song/album and I look up and all of the tv’s had this music video playing and I thought “wait is that….” And I get closer and hear the music and thought “Deftones?” And I hear it clearly and I’m blown away by this song and immediately had to hear it over and over and over again
This video reminds me of when i moved from Mexico City to Los Algodones (a border town in Mexicali) 🏜 When i would drive back home from other towns near there it looked just like the image of the second 0:06 with the dunes and the mountains on the horizon.. I started listening to deftones when i got there and being isolated in a tiny desert town plus the heat🌡☀️ wasn't the best experience but their music helped a lot to not loose my mind and i became a big fan ever since
Such an epic song. I'm 54 and always loved metal plus good melodies and these guys are just on another level. Nu Metal bands dream they could ever be this good.

"Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, medicine, commerce, handcrafts, poetry, the arts in general, and later, war. In many ways similar to Greek goddess Athena." Considering this and examining the lyrics leads me to believe this song is about a great battle (Possibly even The Battle Of Carthage where Rome finally ended The Punic Wars because the setting of this video is a desert) that has just been finished and the goddess of war is singing "it's over" and soldier's falling to there knee's in relief of surviving this battle. That's my idea for the meaning behind Minerva.
The song is about being captivated by the beauty of women and the soothing quality their voice has. That's why the title of the song is "Minerva".
Ave Minerva
according to chino it's about appreciating female singers
Thats fuckin awesome
Most likely at least subconsciously this had influence on either the band or director of the video
I have a very strong emotional connection with Minerva. During my adolescence I suffered a lot from insomnia, and to this day I still have a bit of trouble sleeping well, until i discovered this song. It was the first Deftones song i heard.

The dissonance he sings is so beautiful... it always amazes me.

Definitely! He picks a minor note when the major would be in key. Brilliant dissonance.

QuetaMaloun I've wondered what the message of the song is. Is it a love song?
the end of love, i believe. deftone lyrics are so rife with possible meanings that pinning is difficult. the best art can't be completely resolved.
For me it's about music itself. It's so clear when he says "song" and "sing". We can find so much confort and peace trough ours emotional storms on music. It can break our hearts as well and connect us to our deepest feelings. There are songs that can really save us... this is my favourite song on earth!
It's about the beautiful soothing quality that a woman's voice has. Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, poetry, and music.
Song about "Inspiration" , music It self , poetry, love, sex.

Couldn't have said it better. Chino is the man.
Snitsky9 I couldn't have expressed that any better. You made me cry internally.
Very underrated drummer,this guys kills every song especially live,perfect drummer for this band,underrated big time.
Abe!!
Abe is not underrated at all. A lot of drummers showed a respect and inspiration from his playing style. Bran Dailor from Mastodon for exmpl
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎶🔥🐺🎧
Abe? No he is solidified.
@@ratgaze Danny Carey as well, Abe is well respected
Minerva saved me too training to just listened over and over and over
I'm a 38 year old deftones fan, and have recently come to discover that I have lived with an anxiety disorder my whole life, considering the way I live to be 'normal'. For the best part of the last 21 years, deftones have taken me to a place I need, ,,,the 'place' I'd rather be.
As I live in my new realization, and come to terms with who I am, today I live inside of the deftones. .....as they live in me.
I'm certain that most deftones fans understand what I mean by that! -
"... I get all numb...
We're the same numb....
and it brings our knees to the earth!!.."
man I live the same way, I'm a total social failure
I hear you man
No.... it's you don't belong here. Don't let them define you
This song could bring back peace to the Earth.
That was beautiful
Deftones is the heavy metal band that can write songs about sex without sounding trashy. They have their own genre of music.
YES!!!!
First sentence yes. the second no.
@Michael Whitted they make me high without getting stoned honestly
@YūGen what? No band has their own genre
@Poly.Stars33d Bro its new metal mixing whith shoegaze.
The importance of the art. It keeps you alive even when you're long gone.
Rest in peace Chi
This beautifull song.. I named my daughter Minerva inspired by this song :')
+Reno Ramadhani She's gonna be called Minnie for ever.
Tudor Popescu nope.. Everyone call her "erva" :))
+Reno Ramadhani Eh. I was just kidding. Minerva is actually a really nice and unique name for a girl. May she be as smart and have as good a musical taste as her father!
+Tudor Popescu ahaha.. I know mate, thank you anyway! Enjoy this beautifull song and have a great day!
+Reno Ramadhani Minerva is the name of the Roman goddess.
Deftones just gives you this certain feeling that’s hard to explain. They just know how to transport you to another world.
Driving in the desert on a warm night in a convertible with the top down, a million stars all around, your love beside you, blasting Deftones. Your heart fills.

Etherial =D
A time and place. Deftones take you there.
FKNG THIS 100%
That chorus is the most triumphant thing I've ever heard in my life. AND GOD BLESS YOU DEFTONES!!!
TRIUMPHANT .. i like that
Gives you that My Bloody Valentine vibe doesn't it?
1
0:30 Thats one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
Thanks Rick Beato for reminding me, What Makes This Song Great!
Also came back because of him.
Breathtaking.
@@DannyVarelaGarcia stunning. gorgeous. satisfying.
Also here because of Rick
Yep. Thought there’d be a comment here about this. Love that he’s liked. Such a cool guy. Very smart, brilliant! Thanks for the reassurance Rick!
He actually introduced it to me, which I have to thank him for.
man this song almost brings a tear to my eye. its so fucking beautiful i cant even express it in words you just feel it throughout your whole body and soul. favorite band by far
+adrenaline good... that's what i would have said...
+adrenaline I can totally relate to your feeling. Happened to me the first time I heard it.
Wish this equally beautifully made music video has a higher-resolution version.
+adrenaline I have the same feeling dude.
adrenaline: Your not only in your thinking. A lot of softer deftones songs, such as this one, are very emotional and sometimes tear jerking songs. They are also very haunting as well, which makes it better.
adrenaline ..me too
Mi nena de 3 añitos, se llama Minerva por esta rola, que escuchaba en mi adolescencia.
Buen papá, todavía hay esperanza en la humanidad
Igual la mia de 9 meses!!
Genial 👏🤘
Le haz marcado el camino,todo irá bien 👍
Wow, que padre
0:16 chills.
This is one of those songs that just makes you sit in awe and there aren't alot of them that do that for me.
ceceoo3 If you get chills to a song, it's the shit🤘

Deftones GOATED
Why would you even want to throw a goat at them. Its kinda weird.
@@simplyhuman3982 it's a new chiro technique that Dr. Hightower invented
More sheeped I'd say.
I don't get the Satan vibe from them, could always be wrong but I'm pretty sure these dudes are kool

L@@RobTheSquire
I fucking love this song. Chino is an amazing vocalist and Steven Carpenter does some goddamn amazing guitar work on this song and album in general.
Days are long, years are short.
Hello person scrolling through the comment section, you have a great taste in music!
Have a wonderful day!
Haha. What an excellent comment. Thank you.
Very much so
that we do !! have an awesome day
Kudos to you
This comment made me smile! Ditto! Have an excellent day! :)
Idk why but deftones really give me a cold/nostalgic vibe, is it just me or is there anyone else.
Like there song “entombed” and “beauty school” made me feel some type of way lol 😅
Same here
When you’ve triumphed over death numerous times, didn’t complain, and only now are telling your side of the story😁
It's just a feel
Beauty school brings me to tears so does hearts and wires
@@petegomez5280 What happened to you?. That song breaks me up. My Dad was in hospice and I was wearing out my Koi No Yokan CD during that period..... "We're alive somewhere else." 🤘
Why are they SO good? Been a fan since '97 and I just turned 40 last month. When I was 15, I remember walking my girlfriend home quite often and then walking the next 15 minutes back to my house (we couldn't really hang out together past like, 9pm.. "parent rules").. I would play Around the Fur in my cd walkman (anti skip).. it was Christmas time and there were lights everywhere. I'll never forget walking home those nights.. in love.. first love.. feeling those new experiences and thinking you had it all figured out..
1
When Around the Fur came out I was in 11th grade. I would listen to that album every day on the way to school and that album started a long love affair with Deftones. There is definitely something magical about those moments in youth and the music that was the soundtrack to those days. Deftones was a big part of that for me.
ninjas choppin onions my man, i feel the same here, i had it all figured out until no more.
My moms name is Minerva and she passed a year ago.. came across this while listening to music this morning ❤️🩹
I get all... Numb
When she sings, it's over
Such a strange... Numb
And it brings my knees to the earth
And God bless you all
For the song you saved... Us
You're the same... Numb
When you sing, it's over
Such a strange... Numb
It could bring back peace to the Earth
So God bless you all
For the song you saved... Us... All
For the hearts you break... Every time you moan
I get all... Numb
We're the same... Numb
And it brings our knees to the earth
So God bless you all
For the song you saved... Us... All
For the hearts you break... Every time you moan
And God bless you all on the Earth
My favorite band. The sound... Is heavenly,yet destructive.... With hints of beauty
yeah, that's the definition of shoegaze
Joaquin Verastegui
Deftones isn't shoegaze
IIRANGERIII that doesn't mean they can't be influenced by shoegaze...they have always been different than their contemporaries because they doesn't hold on just one genre.
Kayden Baldwin: original comment, that greatly improved my life
Word
The older i get the more i feel this is their best song
@Andrew Lion it may be for him, their music is abstract and beauty is a subjective thing, that applies to deftones as well.
This song feels like home.
Not for me.. But it's definitely the best song off of this record. The S/T is and SNW are definitely their weakest, but this song is a 10/10.
Me too. But so many amazing songs, and everyone is right with their own personal favorite.
@@arsonne snw and s/t are 1 and 3 for me respectively. Goes to show how good they are when opinions can cary so much
I get all numb
When she sings that it's over
Such a strange numb

This song was the one I danced to at my wedding with my wife. Every time I hear it, it brings me one of the greatest moments I've ever had in my life so far.
Hell yeah my man!! Integrity and faith, a real man!!!
Congrats and wishing you the best
No way! Congrats! I'm tearing up just thinking about that lol
congrats and all that, but how the fuck do you dance to this song?
1
There is something almost orchestral about this song. The way Chino weaves the melody around the glacial guitar and gargantuan groove. Light and shade have always been at the heart of Deftones. No better example than this. A great place to start for those new to this truly unique band.
Would be really beautiful to hear an orchestra play it tbh!
A few days ago this was the first Deftones I ever listened to fully. It's great at every level.
Can’t believe in my 45 years I just discovered Deftones recently, and this song is a masterpiece that strikes deep chords within me. Such beautiful tragedy.
Metal/Nu Metal is ageless and so is the chance and luck to become a fan!!! Horns up!!🤘🍻
1
This is the song that got me into them, almost 20 years ago.
45 This year , should be dead 10 times over . Is what it is , year they are amazing . What an awesome human experience to have in life are they not . Wish I saw them live . The first time I heard them was my own summer
it's better late than never... i'm about to be 40 but first seen them live when i was 12
There is no way this song is almost 20 years old. I feel old af.
To be honest, this was one of the songs that got me into Deftones
same here
same!!
Right after 'Change' :D
this comment makes me feel very old haha!
Mine was Engine No. 9
Whoever directed this video had definitely just seen Pink Floyd live in Pompeii. The desolate setting, the amps, the lights, the camera panning up over the mixer. Very cool.
I love this video. It's beautiful and fits the song :)
+Non Serviam also Slayer's Season in the abyss video also seems to be of much inspiration to director.
+Non Serviam Beastie Boys do a tip of the hat to Pink Floyd live in Pompeii for the video/song "Gratitude", it is pretty cool which I'm sure you are aware.
Will always be one of my favorite songs of all time. Seeing it played live was a dream come true.
Your lucky mna
I feel you I was so happy seeing this in front of me live
This song is an experience. Wish I could see this live
Havent seen this one live. last time they opened with rosemary into digital bath which was sweeet

I get all numb
When she sings that "It's over"
Such a strange numb
And it brings my knees to the earth
And God bless you all
For the song you sang us
You're the same numb
When you sing "It's over"
Such a strange numb
It could bring back peace to the Earth
So God bless you all
For the song you sang us all
For the hearts you break
Every time you moan
I get all numb
We're the same numb
And it brings our knees to the earth
The band has described this vid being shot with the heavy winds and sandstorm-like conditions, an extremely uncomfortable process. The end result is quite brilliant.
For me it's about music itself. It's so clear when he says "song" and "sing". We can find so much confort and peace trough our emotional storms on music. It can breaks our hearts as well and connect us to our deepest feelings. There are songs that can really save us... This is my favourite song on earth!
If I had the money I'd make a big budget Hollywood movie just to use this as the closing song.
omg yes
I definitely want to work with you for that.
+Kevin Gillihan lets crowfund the shit out of this
Uriel Gallaga Man I wish.
i always have similar thoughts when listening to Deftones
The shot of Chi at 2:48 sent chills down my spine. God bless his soul.
It still breaks my heart that he's gone. He was always my favorite in the band for some reason.
This song makes me feel so high, Deftones music makes me feel so high. Is a very weird sensation you know, is heavy but Chino's voice makes your mind fly in sort point.
you don't listen to deftones you experience them 😩
Brenden Farnum very well put. I read all the comments in search of wisdom like yours. And you are very right.
You let them cascade right into your third eye 💙
Corey 742617000027 very good, didn't think of it that way either. That 3rd eye being conscieness, understanding. I agree.
you got that from a tool meme lmao
Brenden Farnum truer words have never been spoken
I just loose myself whenever I listen to this band. Every negative emotion leaves me and I just serene. I have no idea how they do it, but however they do, they're musical geniuses
It's called a soundscape (:
I feel the same.♡
+tonesofdef00 It's called chino's voice exploding your ovaries
+Sophie O'Donnell LMFAO
i just get sad whenever i listen to deftones except for theyre heavy stuff like elite or my own summer
The clouds pass in perfect time to this song.
I can't explain why, but this song cuts right through me. Makes the neck hairs stand up over and over. But then again that's what Deftones do ❤️
There's a big beautiful statue of Minerva (Goddess of war and wisdom) in my hometown Guadalajara, México and this song always reminds me of it. This name is awesome like the song!
For four minutes and twenty seconds, I get to feel more alive than I usually do
HAPPY 420 !!!! dis song hits even more after u Baked
I love how you can't predict when Abe hits the snare drum. Underrated drummer for sure
So God bless you Chi, for the song you sang...
SuttonSantiniPaulo b
He looked so cool in this video
I was 17 and was so underwhellmed when this album came out, but as a major fan i stil listened to it every day. Now years past and it hits on another level. Life is very strange. First time in history the future is dawning with unknown on every single of us, and all generations are united in the era of lucid nostalgia, empowerment and emotional chaos. Their music has carried me through and im glad to be alive in this moment in universal timeline. Have a great day everyone.
What can I say, man. This track is sooo soothing and heavy at the same time. *Transcendence*
Just received my DEFTONES WHITE PONY t shirt in the mail today...NOW I feel I BELONG!
Kicking in 2020, put your hands up!

"God bless you all on the earth." Beautiful ❤
brings back memories of summer 2003,just grad high school,and having fun. Good times...
great summer 2003 :'(
I agree, what a rocking band!
jajajaja pienso lo mismo. buenos recuerdos. wow
+jorge maciel exacto. tenía 14 añitos, crecí con bandas mexicanas y extranjeras gracias a mi hermano, me lleva 8 años y me enseñó todo lo que sé (lo poco que sé más bien) era buenisimo, antes ser "rara" si era raro, ahora ya cualquiera es "diferente" 😂😂😂😂 tengo 2 bebés pero siempre hay tiempo para escuchar buena música.
that summer sucked for me, I graduated HS that year too, I had to work early morning shift on a dairy farm..it sucked.
My sons favourite band. I listen to this song so much now he's moved out of home, because I miss him. I've always listened to similar but somehow missed these guys along the way.
Deftones songs make me feel high.
Indeed
you aint never been with a man like me !!!! i'll make you feel better then just high. i'll make ya'll feel in love
***** I swear I'm clean lmfao
Gog bless u
+daleinen Never mate. Nothing beats being sober and listening to Deftones. I had the privilege of being able to see them live and had the choice of either being wasted or sober. I have absolutely no regrets of being sober that night.
This is so emotional. His voice, the nostalgic wave the song gives off. Just enough to bring a tear to someone's eye. Deftones is and always will be my favorite band.
I just listened this yesterday..First time hahaha
that one is perfect for depressed times, give me chills
I get goose bumps all over when I hear this song, by the end I'm dancing like a child utterly lost in the pure bliss of music. Thank you Deftones. You save us.
Deftones "Self-Titled" was an amazing follow up to White Pony -- just felt the groove slow a bit, but very underrated!! Amazing record
I get chills listening to this. It's like that feeling you get when you're in the shower and it's the right amount of warm and you get goosebumps everywhere cause it just feels really amazing. That's what I associate Deftones with.
That riff gets me every fucking time.
Me too.
Can't tell if I love or hate that kids are fanboying a band I listened to as a kid. Is this what our dads felt like when we started wearing pink floyd shirts?
I love deftones for one reason, and that reason is the fact that I always hate their songs at first. After a couple listens, you can start feeling the vibe and you find the true beauty of every one of their songs. Many of my friends have the same reaction, they hear one of their songs and go "it just sounds like random noise". After they listen to it more and more, they completely turn around and go "you know what, this song is pretty dope". Keep doing your thing deftones, I have yet to be disappointed
What the fuck are you talking about? Deftones are borderline pop music. How can you say they sound like noise at first lol?!
you have hit the nail on the head dude. i remember trying to listen to a whole ablum and hating it then i listened to them and i love it now
Still remember the overwhelming sense of awe this song left me feeling back when it came out when I was in 7th grade. Not really the biggest Deftones fan, but this song will always have a special place in my heart and my ears.
same!
The first Deftones song I ever heard was Change (In The House Of Flies). It was on Big Shiny Tunes 5, and even though it was a watered-down radio edit of the song, I thought it was pretty amazing, but it wasn't enough to really get me into the band. Then I heard My Own Summer (Shove It) on the soundtrack for The Matrix, and I thought to myself, "This might be a band worth looking into more", but for whatever reason I just never got around to it. Then a few years later, one fateful day I randomly switched on the radio and I heard Minerva on the airwaves for the first time, and I immediately fell completely in love. It's to date still my favourite Deftones song.
Are you literally me? This is weird as hell.
big shiny tunes 5? i used to have that CD and that's how i came across Deftones
The first time I heard a Deftones song was Change (In The House Of Flies) at the end of the Dragon Ball Z Cooler movie, and I've been a Deftones fan ever since.
@@timscott6793 yo what? they have Deftones on DBZ? How did I not know this? lmao
There's no better way to explain how mesmerizing, beautiful, and hypnotic this song is, except for one word: PERFECT. It feels like you're in a trance in another dimension or something.

How can a song be so powerful and so oddly soothing. The first 2 minutes are like muscle cars bursting trees along a country road then 2:25 hits and I'm like relaxed and I calm down just to speed up again for that last chorus.
Whenever I hear Sade playing in some furniture store or as I walk past a little lounge club, I think of these guys, think of that amazing voice and that juxtaposition between heavy and angelic
True story: the first time I heard this song I was at a Best Buy and they were promoting this song/album and I look up and all of the tv’s had this music video playing and I thought “wait is that….” And I get closer and hear the music and thought “Deftones?” And I hear it clearly and I’m blown away by this song and immediately had to hear it over and over and over again
Deftones makes me feel something I never felt with any other band.

Whenever I'm flat and need cheering up, I always come back to this clip/song. The ultimate energy boosting song!

This video reminds me of when i moved from Mexico City to Los Algodones (a border town in Mexicali) 🏜
When i would drive back home from other towns near there it looked just like the image of the second 0:06 with the dunes and the mountains on the horizon..
I started listening to deftones when i got there and being isolated in a tiny desert town plus the heat🌡☀️ wasn't the best experience but their music helped a lot to not loose my mind and i became a big fan ever since
god bless you all
For the song you saved, us. Us.....
Aidan Cullen every time u moan :3
Aidan Cullen aw than you!
Thanks*
as a 16 year old going through a lot of mental issues at the moment, i can tell you, that these guys really saved me.
Music is what saved my life, twice. Mental issues suck balls. You got this, dude
Buckle up, the moment turns into the rest of your life
@@soy.rodolfo keep rocking!!
Keep ya head up homie. Time heals.
Remember, your problems won't get smaller, but you will become wayyy stronger 💪
The true hero of this video is the guy who had to clean all the sand out of the kit after the shoot. Thanks, it was worth it.
Such an epic song. I'm 54 and always loved metal plus good melodies and these guys are just on another level. Nu Metal bands dream they could ever be this good.
does anyone else...not just listen to deftones once but binge for days and weeks lol
Been doing it 20+ years
Right now
Currently been binging deftones for a week... Great memories from this band and timeless music! #Deftones #Forever
1:10 is poetry without words
How come I love all their fuckn songs???
