"Having Maynard perform on the record wasn’t something that we planned on doing. We didn’t plan on having any guest on the record. But being a fan of Tool and A Perfect Circle, once Maynard was involved, it was just a magical thing for us. Honestly, when he first started working with us, he wasn’t supposed to sing with us. He was just working on the arrangements, riff structures, time signatures, and things like that. I don’t know if you’re a big fan of Tool’s music, but they’re really mathematical. I’ve been to their rehearsal space, and there’s this big chart that just looks like calculus-the way they write songs, it’s just crazy. It was good to have someone else who has different ways of writing songs, ‘cause everyone has a different way of doing it. He came in and we started working on this one song in particular, and he just grabbed the microphone and started singing along to it, and my jaw just dropped. All of a sudden our band sounded like Tool; it was just crazy. Then, probably two months later, we went in to record the album, and I went in to record the vocals on it, and I just kept hearing his voice, this recurring melody with his voice coming over it. So I called him and asked him if he wanted to come down and sing on the record, and he had no problem with it. Once he came in, I gave him sort of what I wanted the song to be about, and he wrote a couple of ideas down, and the next day he came in with all the lyrics written all out with blank spaces where my lyrics were supposed to be. He’s very professional like that. He wants everything set perfectly, which is the complete opposite to the way that I write, so it was cool. And then I went in and did my vocals over it, and it just seemed that our voices blended together pretty good." - Chino Moreno, DeftonesWorld

anyone else went like "wtf, isnt this maynard?" when first listening to the song? Such a unique voice and style, love it

I think it has a really cool effect when Maynard intentionally hits that one high note slightly flat. It creates a bitter spicy dissonance that I really enjoy.

Maynard and Chino are *literally* musical peanut butter and jelly. Maynard is like the chunky BP to chinos jelly I can't explain it it's just such a magical mixture

White Pony has aged like a fine wine. 👌😎

I envy the person listening to this for the first time and is just elevated by the song and all that shit.

Deftones are the type of band I can listen to on repeat and full blast and never get tired of it.

My best friend in the world died a week ago. This was our favourite song to sing on long drives, him singing Chino's parts and me singing Maynard's.

I know everyone says the same thing but this song is just perfect for a late night drive.

It's so ethereal and I love how their voices blend together but you can still tell them apart It's absolutely amazing how lovely and dirty this song is.

Here I lay Still and breathless Just like always Still, I want some more Mirrors sideways Who cares what's behind? Just like always Still your passenger Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces These and other lucky witnesses Now to calm me This time won't you please Drive faster Roll the window down this Cool night air is curious Let the whole world look in Who cares who sees anything? I'm your passenger I'm your passenger Drop these down Then put them on me Nice, cool seats There to cushion your knees Now to calm me Take me around again Don't pull over This time won't you please Drive faster Roll the window down this Cool night air is curious Let the whole world look in Who cares who sees what tonight? Roll these misty windows Down to catch my breath and then Go and go and go just Drive me home and back again Here I lay Just like always Don't let me Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Take me to the edge

ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN, THIS COOL NIGHT AIR IS CURIOUS!!!!

WARNING: It is incredibly easy to start speeding while this song is playing in the car

Maynard's voice is so clean. I could listen to that chorus for hours

One of the most powerful choruses is history. It's given me chills for over 2 decades. Almost brings tears every time.

It’s so badass when the guitar kicks in and the horse starts running. I could watch that horse trot to that riff all day long.

Working club security in 90s at Deftones shows was fucking epic! The pits were sick !! Stage dives Chino in crowd. I still have a Deftones crew Shirt ripped up destroyed in a frame on my wall. It was combat working the shows but the Band and crew would smoke n drink with us after. They really appreciated us keeping the stage fun but safe too. I went on to tour with bands all over the world as personal security or bodyguard and these early shows made me fall in love with the live experience and make a career of it.

This song is so immersive, i love the vibe so much

This songs been stuck in my head non stop for like 3 days straight.

Leaving a comment so i can come back to this video anytime someone likes

I remember when I introduced this song to a guy I was going out with... Should've dumped him right when he said he was not into it.

The song is perfect, everyone knows that. But who expected a visualizer 20 years later to make it better?

Chi was seriously such a good bassist. I always felt like his playing was emotionally charged. Like his touch was heavy but attack light

3 years ago I underwent a massive surgery in a final attempt to stop a bacteria that had eaten away 3 of my ribs, a clavicle, half of my pec muscle and finally reached one of my lungs. I signed a DNR and asked the surgical team only 1 favor. Have this song playing in the surgical room before I went under. I will never forget staring up at blinding white lights hearing it play as i counted back to about 8. 2 days later My Surgical Nurse told me in the ICU that they left it on loop the entire duration of the 9 hour surgery.

Can we have a Deftones Tool tour please

They need to put “Featuring Maynard J. Keenan” in the song title, that dude deserves credit for this!!

I’m a new Deftones fan. (So far I’ve only made it to the White Pony album). And I’ve got to say, this song is just so wavy. The atmosphere is just so eerie and sensual. Perfect for what the song is talking about.

Deftones seriously takes me on a mental journey without the drugs, that's how much I love them lmao

Chino and Maynard.... get Patton in the mix, and just let god take me

2021 and this song still makes the hair on my arms stand straight up. My fav bands of all time.....together. This is better than sex, money, and fame. I might be 51 now, but when i listen to this, I'm feeling 20 something!!! thanks Maynard Thanks Chino

Who's also listening in 2024

When I first heard this song, 20 something years ago, it sent chills down my spine. Then, being high af, started analyzing the lyrics... White Pony is still one HELL of an album, even after all these years.

A Perfect Deftool!

A masterpiece. Every single word,tone makes me shiver. A freaking masterpiece.

One of my favorite songs to jam to after a long shift at work and driving home at night. Not much traffic on the road, windows down, volume at 11.

Found this yesterday and when I heard Tool's singer in there I felt like I was in heaven Both voices fit perfect 2022 Im finally digging into Deftones and Im loving them

fucking perfection. it's been almost 20 years since this album has been released and it still holds up flawlessly. Deftones have the rare ability to make aggressive music beautiful and hypnotizing

This album is nothing short of a masterpiece

I swear I'm sexier when i listen to deftones.

106 years later and i'm just noticing the delicacy of the production. Brilliant song, brilliant album.

Can't listen to Deftones now without feeling sad & happy at the same time!! My big bro was such a fan!! A true fan! Had been for yearrrrs!! He creepily looked like Chino. Especially in the "You've seen the Butcher" video. Wish I could post a pic.. My brother passed away on Oct. 9th, 2015, 4 days before his birthday!! He was such a fan, Deftones was played at his service. So, good & bad goes along with this, but I love it!! Thanks fellas for years of awesome music!!!!!

22 years later & this song is still perfection.

Goosebumps from wrists to ankles….so amazing

I wish I knew more people who love Deftones as much as me, the first song I ever listened to by Deftones is diamond eyes ^_^

This still sounds fresh and virile like it drank from the fountain of youth.

I used to get so high and hop on the freeway in the early morning hours when nobody wanted to party ( because it was probably a Wednesday morning lol) and drive for hours until the sun would come up from LA to IE to San Diego and back home. this song was like a spiritual high like no other. Every time I hear it I still get goosebumps.

13 million? That's it??? I 75 @ 20 yr old @ 85 mph after 3rd shift was a vibe n apparently unique fr 💯💯💯 timeless

been here since "around the fur" and I will never leave or abandon this band .

Maynard and chino go together like peanut butter and jelly

Ughhhhhh this does something to my body listening to this,,, hits all the right spots I suppose.

This album was my go-to back in high school around 2000-2003 when high and driving at night in Oklahoma City seeing the street lights blurry in the distance

One of the most haunting songs ever made, and the visualizer makes it even more so.

Easily two of the best voices recorded together, ever. Chino and Maynard are made for eachother vocally.

I used to listen to this song right after I got my fent pony and it was take off from there. This song hits so perfectly. And now that I’m listening to it sober it has a whole new meaning.

Two of my most favorite vocalist come together for a song, nothing cooler than this.

Maynard voice in this song is just perfect. Huge track, one of my favourite from White Pony.

High school. On ecstacy. In the passenger seat of a car. This blaring. A memory that will never leave me

Lyrics: Here I lay Still and breathless Just like always Still, I want some more Mirrors sideways Who cares what's behind? Just like always Still your passenger The chrome buttons buckle on leather surfaces These and other lucky witnesses Now to calm me This time won't you please Drive faster Roll the windows down this Cool night air is curious Let the whole world look in Who cares who sees anything? I'm your passenger I'm your passenger Drop these down Then put them on me Nice cool seats There to cushion your knees Now to calm me Take me around again Don't pull over This time won't you please Drive faster Roll the windows down this Cool night air is curious Let the whole world look in Who cares who sees what tonight? Roll these misty windows Down to catch my breath and then Go and go and go just Drive me home and back again Here I lay Just like always Don't let me Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Take me to the edge

Probably one of the greatest features we take for granted

This album changed my life. They became their own genre. Tail end of my teen years. Thank you.

This song with Chino and Maynard are pure gold 💗

I still remember going to the store and waiting to buy this cd when it came out. (Still have it!!!) Still my favorite band. Still one of my favorite songs on the album. Thx for the memories Deftones! 🤍

This is one of my all time favorite albums

Can’t believe that it’s been 20 years!

I used to play this on repeat when playing Gran Turismo, good shit

Believe it or not but I knew deftones before tool. This song was my introduction to Maynard James Keenan, my favorite singer.

What a beautifully morbid connection we ALL Have

This song broke my matrix.

Officially loving it for over 20 years. One of the most amazing records ever. It's timeless.

DEFTONES AND JAMES MAYNARD KEENAN?!?! I can die now, lulled into the afterlife by this transcendent collaboration ❤.

I have been listening to these guys for years and I've always

My two favorites came together! Both of their voices are so sexy and can change in a second to something totally different. We call this talent!

White Pony is still running strong

Chino and Maynard this track is GOATED!!!!

Spend alot of my teens listening to deftones. This song in particular always got me. Now post 2 Tours of Iraq and 2 tours of Afghanistan, its my go to feeling song.

This is the definition of genuine music

This is such a great song and maynard with those wicked raw vocals love the way it builds it’s become one of my favorites

One of my best memories from my childhood was listening to this while traveling and letting the wind blow through my hair. Made it easy to put things behind me.

I love this band! They are on of my all time favorite no matter what album

This song is my all-time favourite. I loved it when I first listened to it. I love it now. I want this to be played on my funeral. The best duo ever. Мурашки каждый чертов раз. 🤍🐎

Chino and Maynard singing together is incredible. Then the guitar riffs from Stephen, the bass playing of Chi, Frank on synthezier & turntables and the powerful banging of the drums of Abe. Makes for one fantastic metal song.🖤🤘

My absolute favorite song since I discovered it! Its so beautiful and impactful. A late night drive with the windows down with the cool wind this send nostalgia rushing through me as it is what I love to do :)

Never gonna stop loving this song too.

I'm honestly surprised I've never heard this song before. This song is pure bliss!

YES. DEFTONES FOR FUCKING EVER! I never get tired of their music. It hits somewhere deep in your soul. And brings out that part of your mind you didnt realize you had.

This song feels, it's so good, one of my favorite songs in the history of music and this incredible band... I love it.

I saw this album yesterday at a record store. Now after hearing this song I’m going back to pick it up today.

When the white pony never slows down, you know its gonna be good. Deftones forever 🤘

It's so good. I just love the raw emotions conveyed in their singing. I can listen to this song on repeat for hours. Ughhhh

All these years later, this album still puts a lump in my throat. ❤️❤️❤️

I conceived my first child to this song

So clutch to have two sickasskickass bands collaborate so eloquently. White pony is absolutely a classic

Im a hiphop fan, definitely love some rock songs but Chino Morenos feature on Trippie Redds album made me search him up. Heard of this band before, never listened until now. This shit is crazy!

It's incredibly easy to melt....

their best song imo

One of my all time Favorite Songs!!!!!! Love how Chino and Maynard just play so well together

Still in my playlist. Still listening to it when I drive. One of my favorite albums of all time. Maynard + Chino = Awesomeness!!!

Both voices go well together much love keep it up 🤘🤌🫡🥹 rock on

brilliant.. art at is finest i felt everything from the lead singers breathy poetic words to the strum of the strings of the guitar. being a vocalist i look up to you guys

Here I lay, still and breathless Just like always, still, I want some more Mirrors sideways, who cares what's behind? Just like always, still your passenger Chrome buttons, buckles, and leather surfaces These and other lucky witnesses Now to calm me, this time, won't you, please Drive faster? [Chorus 1: Maynard James Keenan] Roll the windows down This cool night air is curious Let the whole world look in Who cares who sees anything? I'm your passenger I'm your passenger [Verse 2: Chino Moreno and Maynard James Keenan] Drop these down, then put them on me Nice, cool seats there to cushion your knees Now to calm me, take me around again Don't pull over, this time, would you, please Drive faster? [Chorus 2: Maynard James Keenan] Roll the windows down This cool night air is curious Let the whole world look in Who cares who sees what tonight? Roll these misty windows down To catch my breath again And then go and go and go, just drive me Home then back again [Outro: Chino Moreno and Maynard James Keenan] Here I lay just like always Don't let me go Take me to the edge
