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".

[@markgrant5396]

Thank you

[@UndercoverNormie]

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.

[@78_CmroZ28]

Dude that's so awesome!!!

[@davidb6927]

She was Kyla Willowbrook in Smallville

[@LiquidusTalon]

@@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.

[@whalewaffle2771]

I remember the first time I listened this song, riff hooked me up instantly. Koi No Yokan its one of their FINEST works IMO.

[@davidmacleod247]

Yes, definitely their best albums

[@bhaskarville]

Koi No Yokan is a modern masterpiece! Every song is a gem!

[@kevInFlames]

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.

[@reedturner9574]

This is my 3rd favorite album from them and that means A LOT!

[@cesarmr111]

Absolutely, for me is the best Deftones Album!

[@ilianaxavier1587]

listening to deftones always gives me a certain feeling. i have no idea what the feeling is, but i love it

[@mak3397]

The melody is so surreal and hypnotizing

[@wishes_._]

[@macabre2899]

[@boykidmanboykidman5420]

Its the feeling of pleasure i think :)

[@verblvik]

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

[@DoomsdayDisciple]

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]

Weak and soft? Wait, are they not hearing the same opening? Fucking dynamics on this track, beautiful.

[@jdkhaos4983]

@@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]

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. :)

[@loudnphx9986]

Best Consistent LIVE performances I'll ever see...

[@d0m0b40]

This album is phenomenal, one of my favourite from deftones

[@milimaximus1624]

Yeah, I love this album too - there's such a lovely feel to it!

[@whogavehimafork]

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

[@ObjectionHearsay]

It's a trip for sure! Beautiful.

Fucking A homie'

[@johnhall298]

+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.

[@Caminante7SSS]

[@randallguyton1663]

Koi No Yokan is easily the pinnacle of early Deftones. This is the vibe and crunch.

[@retrogaming8647]

"Early" Deftones?

[@spunkrok13]

Please Deftones NEVER stop creating music!!!!!!!

[@davidgarcia-rv3fs]

New album this year

[@victor_.]

Koi no yokan is a masterpiece, up there witth the Tool albums

[@yoshiofdeath]

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.

[@JamminWithJer]

They’re fueled by their rhythm section for sure but chino is definitely part of their uniqueness

[@loser3089]

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.

[@mwg911hk]

She likes horses and he likes cars. They travel through the air and swerved into each other. Boom.

[@vzryt]

this song being the opening to koi no yokan sets the tone for the rest of the album perfectly.

[@Barry_C00p3r]

One of the most underrated songs by Deftones 🤘

[@denverdoerrer1678]

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.

[@murf1201]

Deftones have to be top 5 for consistency. One of very very few bands where you can repeatedly play albums from start to finish.

[@darrion508]

Yay the ending part of the video!

[@rexroy8930]

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

[@sartreismartre]

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.

[@NicoleSams]

The desert is present emptiness. Life and death.

[@mitchrblx631]

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

I think the music videos for Swerve City and Romantic Dreams got switched around.

[@SempiternalVoid]

No because the lyrics of this song speak of horses.

[@browndbeanz7446]

haha true. I guess I meant more about the song titles matching the music videos.

[@browndbeanz7446]

song title switch I meant. haha

[@AMcCann1178]

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.

[@ArtDeranged]

Romantic Dreams is right on the spot as is, videotrack of my life..
