Deftones - Smile (Eros)

[pony_01]

REST IN PEACE CHI! SMILE EVERYBODY!

[UrZ*]

Really surprised this isn't being talked about more. People must abandon this site when there isn't a new album on the horizon lol. Thanks for the rip Luisch

Or when then aren't updates from the band or live shows... Not much to talk about right?

[Martin]

Amazing. I did not see that coming at all. Amazing. Love it. Cried too. RIP Chi.

[White Wrist]

RIP CHI.

Great action...one year after his death.

[Caín]

Thank you, Chino.
Touching song, great move.

RIP Chi

[Penicks]

good stuff, sad stuff

[Freedomsoldier17]

feels good to have new deftones track....awesome song......was there any studio version of melanie...released other than the live version...that song rocks too

Sadly not.

When was the vocals recorded ?
It's a demo ? A final version ?

The one thing we do know is that all the instrumentals were recorded and about half the vocals before Chi's accident. Whether any mixing was done or not, I don't know. I would assume so because recording was going on for about half a year

Someone rip this shit.

Here ya go.

[normsteez]

good song

[jciraheta]

yes i have the same doubt about the vocals, but to me sounds pre D. E ...

[luisch]

...

Yup, you're right, Romain.

[peterdigiacomo]

Bridge reminds me of Fist. Still like the song, I was a little hyped yesterday when I first heard it, but its definitely a grower.

[Deadradio]

love this song! Glad we got to hear it!

Smile

We move together
We cruise till the end
Screwing and shooting our way out

You want to know what it's like?
then watch this
You want to feel again?

You wanted this
Welcome to my world
Now
You want feel again

Smile
You're born again (x2)
Do you feel wet? do you feel love?

We've sailed through hell knows
They've sank but we float on

You want go for a ride?
It's over
You want to feel it again?
You've always said that you know my worth
And now you want to feel it again

Smile
You're born again (x2)
Do you feel wet? do you feel love?

We cruise together
It's me and you till the end

Smile
You're born again (x4)
Do you feel wet? do you feel love?

God bless you.
It's a really beatiful song, as some of you said, like the next step from SNW, like a perfect continuation on the way of the evolution of the band, and very emotive on how it was released.
I really hope they will release more stuff like this, even if it's not entirely produced. It sounds perfect to me. I love it already.

[buddyboy101]

it's perfect old-school deftones.  only chino could make the phrase "smile" work and sound sinister

[dangerballs]

Finally got an opportunity to sit still and listen to this without any co-workers buzzing around.

What a great song! I absolutely love the false ending at around 3:10...something I have been missing in Deftones songs for a while now.

[Diplo]

Exactly ! Love the way he sings, really old school, calm and melancholic.
Also, I'm really enjoying the bass of Chi.

[laurapalmer]

Didn't see this coming at all and its by no means an earth-shattering song or anything but I'm on board for many different reasons

[Freedomsoldier17]

I think it's great how this song was released, but I don't feel Chino should do it again. Just getting songs progressively without an official album would be kind of a mood killer for me.

[illthrowROCKS@U]

The only reason I would support an actual album over releasing the songs over time is for the money to go towards the band or Chi's family.  Also, official album art would be nice.
