simple riffs, no ego, masterpiece of a song. thanks stephen, thanks maynard, thanks chino.. deftones all the way.

[EvgenyVinnik]

I like how Stephen creates special effects by strumming behind the bridge and before the nut.

[LordParticle]

Their voices go so well together, like chocolate and peanut butter

[starrysouI]

I’ve been absolutely waiting to see a play-through of this song, Maynard and Chino vocals switch so seamlessly. It makes the perfect atmosphere

[Chrisdoesntlikenoisecore]

i never even noticed how long the song is 😭 it’s just that good

[bradleyt]

The atmosphere on this song is off the chart. There are plenty of duets in music but I don't know if you will find a song that exemplifies two singer's talent better than Passenger. Plus Stephen's creative use of harmonics really add to the atmosphere of the song. This is perfection.

Stephen's picking techniques throughout the entire track is fucking 🤟

He is brilliant. Not everyone can create an atmosphere with just one guitar.

As a guitarist and a big fan of Deftones, I want to thankyou for all these official playthrough videos. They mean a lot to people like me. Happy new year!

[ColeYudelson]

Pretty sure this was the first Deftones song I heard. All these years later and they've become my fav metal band and I've even covered a song from this album live with my band.

[Southeastern_trucker]

The songs of this band are a work of art

[aaronpotton]

Seeing this played live was one of the greatest moments of my life 🤘🤘🤘

[antonio]

Okay the whole song and the playthrough is masterpiece. I’m speechless.

[charlierodgers]

An absolute legend that created his own, unique sound.

[hyperbolekid]

Massive just massively awesome track. Love that guitar too. Hope to see and hear more of Stef in 2023!! 🎉🎉

[SouthFloridasRestaurantGuy]

Two of the best modern heavy metal voices in one song! Crushed!

[dansev]
