There has never been, nor will there ever be, a band that can touch Deftones. They can play fast, heavy, and loud then turn around and play slow, light, & melodic and still sound like it's from the heart better than anybody. All hail DEFTONES \m/ RIP Cheng. Thanks for all the moments you gave us to smile.
Chris Ellison Agreed. I was lucky enough to grow up listening to them. And they have yet to let me down like a lot of other bands have. Chinos other bands are pretty awesome too. Love Crosses.
I feel like if they released this album it would be the greatest thing they ever did. This is Chi Cheng's last shit man. People need to hear it. It has so much meaning.
Ethanride I agree. But chino felt that having sergio learn and or write parts wouldn’t feel right to do to Chi. But they should release what they have for a b-sides kinda thing
Ethanride, La Fuerza Blading, if you haven't heard, they're in the studio right now working on Eros. It's coming either by the end of this year or sometime in 2020. I'm just finding out about this and if the internet is trolling, I might have to kill some people 😠
@@jobmeyer4442 I saw a meme that said all the old bands were coming back and they were in the list so I googled it and all the links that pop up are all about them being in the studio finishing up Eros as their new album
@@brandenwelday7172 I thought I read other articles saying that they were making a completely new album (I think Chino said it was reminiscent of White Pony), and that they just recently finished all the instrumentals and are working on vocals now. Maybe they're doing something with Eros as well, though. That would be awesome
@@cassl7001 yeah absolutely gotta love those, sextape is just so magical song! I really can't decide, my favs would at the moment probably be smile, sextape, swerve city, pink maggit, beware, battle-axe and minerva!
Ive seen them live 2 times and it was a amazing show. Deftones is like fine wine theyve been getting better over time. Also these live videos are all shot with some crappy sound from a fan... Of course its going to sound awful in a video however its hard to compare a Video to actually being there. And if your such a good drummer why havent we ever heard of you... Get off your high horse.
@@thexer0projekt Yeah but at least 2 of the songs on Eros were turned into other songs. The song Dallas was turned into Beauty School, and another song named Trempest was turned into Tempest. So we'll likely never get the album unless they add in new tracks.
I'm still in awe, in a state of high. This song evoked so many emotions at once. Everyone around me (including myself) was brought to tears, instantly. The heart and soul were lifted - together at the same time... Deftones are still healing 🖤 🌌
Anyone else blown away at 2:00 with the way he says "You wanna go for a ride?" I know it's small but the way he belts out "Ride" sends chills down my spine every time. God damn I love Chino's vocals.
Can all agree Deftones is the greatest fucking band out there??? I been a fan since I first heard adrenaline back in the 9th grade. Dont care what anyone thinks. They impress me more than any other band in the world and this song is a good example of it....just when you think there sound cant get any better.
My girlfriend committed suicide a month ago, like all couples we had our fair share of problems. When we were apart there was a conversation that i remember very vividly and the line you've always said that you knew my worth came out from my lips and she agreed and comforted me. The first song that I made her listen was Cherry Waves and for the love of god I swear that I would have swimmed down to the depths of hell if it meant that she would still be alive today. I don't even care if we would be together or not I just wanted to be there and help her achieve her dreams and be happy.
@Juniper_Wippersnache I've faced lost before and for the same reasons but it is something that's on a different level of feeling and comprehension. The good thing is that the event has pushed me forward to better myself in a way that nothing that had happened to me before. I am aware that currently I am destroyed trying to pick up the pieces of myself that are scattered around but I am not defeated, I need to push through and thrive because I am accountable not only to myself but to her too and the promises that we made.
This song breaks my heart just knowing its chi's last work, such a beautiful armony behind all those complex sounds and notes put together, what a gorgeous jewel of a song
Yeah that would be nice but it's never going to happen record labels are spiteful fucks and besides too much time has passed for it to be what it was intended to be back then
@@electricalgamer7151 it is still unfinished only a few songs were fully complete such a smile here so we could probably only get eros as an EP or something
I miss Chi. I remember being in college like 3 years ago when they were fund raising. I didnt have gas money but I put $20 on my charge to help Chi. This song is awesome
AttilatheThrilla absolutely you can. no one dominated 4 strings like Chi! And he looked like a savage badass while doing it. Fuckin dreads everywhere. Sergio Vega is still a certified beast on bass though.
Because how could you hate Deftones? It's my top 5 if not top 3 bands of all times, they would probably share the spot with Tool. Such an amazing bands!
This song sounds like when you and your partner fall in love, start doing heroine together, then lose each other and can never get that feeling back. Lol Deftones having always been haunting that way
@@allthelittleworms lyrically the song is all over the place, pretty obvious he’s also talking about the whole nu metal thing in verse 2. That’s Chino for you lol
@@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh Damn, that gives me the same type of melancholic feeling as when I listen to Red Hot Chilli Peppers “Otherside” or “Under the Bridge.” I never thought of this song that way until I read your comment. Except, I think the drug in this song is really just love itself. The pain and grief from the ‘withdrawal’ you get when it is taken away. Both are dead, rotten, cold, and unjust.
This band forever gives me chills each time I hear a new song. They've been my favorite band for such a long time, and have made such a huge impact on my life. Deftones will always be one of the best in the business.
Today is my first time hearing this, Ive been listening for a couple years, wow this is good. Wish I had some weed to really enjoy this for the first time. Chills is an understatement
@@SN4K3P1T000 Abe said it would probably happen and Chino said it probably wont. Saying too much time has passed, When they get together they just make new music and never go back like "oh man remember that song that didnt make the cut for KNY or Dimond eye? Yeah lets try and make that work for the new record" Plus he said the album wasnt even finished. regardless I'd like them to release the unfinished album, keep it raw and exactly they way it was before Chi left us
You gotta love a song that just captures every essence of death and rebirth like "Smile" does. Chino picked the perfect song to honor Chi, I mean at the end of each chorus you get this.... climactic end, then... once again, starts soft and goes back into the verse, chorus and end.... repeat. Death and Rebirth, Chi will live forever in our hearts, every time we smile, cause death is never the end. Its only a beginning.
"Chino picked the perfect song to honor Chi" this just makes no sense man. Chi was alive when they wrote and recorded this. This song just happened to be leaked.
@@Ionut2682 The band wasn't allowed to release the album by their record label. But the band wanted to release it. Rumours said that the band itself leaked it. And you can honor a person with a song that he worked with. it is about the feeling, the message and the memories and we all know the band will always remember him when they worked together on this song. And from all eros songs it is the best to honor him. Cuz the sound, feeling, lyrics fit perfect for this kind of role.
My friend died couple days ago bcs of pneumonia.🥀 It is hard to believe that she left us far too soon. I would never forget her and all the love and kindness she spread. I really hope we'll meet again in another universe, in another life, let's be friend once more time, but for now, rest easy. You did well, You did very well, my dear. Goodbye my little friend🖤❤️
Sacramento's local heroes couldn't make a bad song if they tried. deftones piss excellence. I'm hella proud to be from the same town and to have walked the same streets as the almighty deftones. Mad respect my Dudes.
I can't imagine what this album completed would've been like. From the few songs I heard I think it would've been one of their best. You can definitely feel where Koi No Yokan came from.
The run of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th LP's are just insane. Such high quality stuff, kept getting better, and now this. I had no idea Eros was a thing. This song is insane. I hope we get to hear it all some day.
I've been listening to Deftones since they were promoting their self-titled, when I was 8. I heard Change on a Dragon Ball Z tape, of all places. Now I'm 20 and they're still my favorite band and they still continue to amaze me. I cried the day I found out Chi had passed, a decade after I started listening to them. I felt like I lost a close family member, because they made me who I am. RIP Chi. Smile. You're born again
I definitely need to be with someone who loves Deftones as much as me because me and Deftones are a package deal. If I have a kid, fuck little Einstein, I'll sit him/her on my lap and loop white pony.
I think that Smile is a hidden brilliant of Deftones. For me it is unlike every other songs they made. They are all great, but THIS. This gives me feeling of love. This gives me happiness. I feel like they were on their peek of musicianship, and they were healing their relationship with each other, especially Chino and Steve. It is so sad that Eros wasn't released, but I guess it's better this way. RIP Chi Cheng.
I lost mine too, I hope you have a strong support system of friends and family, life ain't a bed of roses, let this music be a void,and enjoy life,I hope your doing well
I am just now listening to this in retrospect of ohms. Very powerful. Chi spirit reigns within the new album. Chi unique bass style will forever sound in the history of rock and roll.
I listen to this every day because it’s so beautiful and fits every mood. This band has done nothing but beautiful work in my opinion. I saw them in concert last summer and I was right in front of Chino and it was the most heavenly experience I’ve had so far and may ever have. Deftones forever. ❤️
We move together, we cruise 'til 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 to feel again Smile, you're born again Do you feel wet? Do you feel love? We've sailed through hell knows They've sank but we float on You want to go for a ride? It's over you want to feel again? You've always said that you knew my worth And now you want to feel it again Smile, you're born again Do you feel wet? Do you feel love? We cruise together It's me and you 'til the end Smile, you're born again Do you feel wet? Do you feel love?
Let me make you think about something - this song is from the last album that Chi would work on. They played this song live for the first time during their Dia De Los Deftones concert, which was their last show before pandemic.
The best way to describe the deftones sound is being parked at midnight by the sea and watching the waves rise calmly then crash on the seawall while blurring out the city lights.
Na. Ocean scares me. I play Deftones while I’m camping in the Rocky Mountains and staring at the Milky Way at night. Sometimes hear an animal call in between that music. Not a single human for 100 miles.
I need this song at my funeral , I feel it will touch people in ways they take life granted for. This song reminds me of my uncle & grandpa who left my life before even reaching 21. RIP CHI 🕊️ forever & may all the deftones fans see them live / reach thier full potential. 🤘🏼
I had the chance to watch Deftones two times. Once with Chi back in 07. It was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had in my life. Changed me forever. One Love for Chi! RIP!
this song makes me want to rip my heart out and throw it in the trash, the emotion it invokes in me is unbearable. I love it so much. i will forever love deftones
Beautiful. To me it sounds like it would've fitted in very well on Diamond Eyes. Imagine Smile coming on after Sex Tape, or even if it was the last track after This Place Is Death
Thank you Chino, thank you deftones, team sleep, and, crosses for 30 years of music I can't stop listening to. There have been many great bands to come into my life and go. Yall have been a staple since the first time I heard "bored" back around 91 to now (22). Yall still putting out good music and I'm still listening. Keep it up. I bought cassettes, I bought CDs, I bought the iTunes. You make it, I'll buy it. I don't care what platform that I need to get it from. Best band ever!
'Smile' is the first deftones song that made me feel like im really connected mentally with this song - lyrics, rythm, guitar, drums, all. throws me back to my first love times which were the best. this nostalgia, feeling that i am 'born again' and visualising in my head this fresh and cold sunrise in the middle of summer with unique scent. also knowing that this song wasn't released and was connected with this eros album makes me feel like this track is really special and deep.
my only mother figure in my life recently committed suicide and i feel so lost and confused without her. my heart bleeds for her as i listen to this. i will smile that she once existed on this earth, and i was lucky enough to know her
Its amazing that they started as a sac town nu metal band and let themselves evolve naturally into their beautiful unique and iconic style that they are now known for. Not many bands who started around that time, in that scene, have had that kind of staying power.
i always come back to this song… it’s one of a kind.. one of those i wish i could see live, a song i cant listen to without crying, one that resonates deep in my chest. this song rlly is one of a kind. hard to describe and impossible to recreate. all time fav deftones song, what a gift from these musical geniuses :’)
+CountdownSmiles they've been working on this album for fucking years Idc if it isn't done. I would also legitimately pay $50 as well, these songs and the album is like a treasure chest of secrets yet to be heard by hardcore Deftones fans across the world.
I wouldn't say they've been working on it for years, to me it doesn't sound like they've touched it. Especially since they were working on GORE. But yeah i would for sure want whatever they DO have finished released as a mini-album
very underated as artists IMO. From the musicality of an 8 stringed guitar to the sweeping, scooping vocals their music is like a soundtrack to real life. Like a modern Four Seasons this would be Autumn. It is the pain of fleeting joy. nothing moves me more except October Rust.
I don't know if they did it intentionally,but this song is very near to 528 hz frequency- The love and healing frequency. I was just listening to frequencies and 528 reminded me of this song, which I love.❤
There has never been, nor will there ever be, a band that can touch Deftones. They can play fast, heavy, and loud then turn around and play slow, light, & melodic and still sound like it's from the heart better than anybody. All hail DEFTONES \m/ RIP Cheng. Thanks for all the moments you gave us to smile.
Check out Sydonia. If you like Deftones, you'll like Sydonia.
Specifically their song "No Womans Land".
Hum.
Cory Y I unliked your comment just so I could like it a second time. Go Hum.
Chris Ellison Agreed. I was lucky enough to grow up listening to them. And they have yet to let me down like a lot of other bands have. Chinos other bands are pretty awesome too. Love Crosses.
The best way to describe Deftones is Calm Chaos. Such an amazing band and they make it seem so effortless
Bittersweet
I've heard "beautifully chaotic" before
Well said
A wet draught hmmm ❤🔥
Chino Says they are 'moody' but i think 'Calm Chaos' Sounds like a cool band name!
TEN years later, and it STILL hits
Patiently waiting for the release.
wdym 10 years? Closer to 17
I feel like if they released this album it would be the greatest thing they ever did.

@@PeMeYo Absolutely! I can’t pick, but the ‘smitten’ ones are just so good. Sextape, entombed etc

i dont know if id say its one of the best. Its good but i like every song on Koi better than this.
It's really got a mix of the "Saturday night wrist and diamond eyes sound", you could tell that this was in the time of their dark days.
Koi no Yokan from chino imo

How is he not good?

I'm still in awe, in a state of high. This song evoked so many emotions at once.
Everyone around me (including myself) was brought to tears, instantly.
The heart and soul were lifted - together at the same time...
Deftones are still healing 🖤 🌌
I was in shock when they played it. Took me a second to realize what was happening and then I freaked out lol
I was there too. I literally got chills when they played it.
I was waiting for them to play it all night, totally worth.
It was so good
Anyone else blown away at 2:00 with the way he says "You wanna go for a ride?" I know it's small but the way he belts out "Ride" sends chills down my spine every time. God damn I love Chino's vocals.
That line always reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkins song Zero! I know Chino is a fan of the pumpkins so it may be a bit of a nod to them. ;)
“You wanna feel it again” is better
@@КаринаТворожок It's completely true
“It’s over” HIS VOCALS THERE ARE AMAZING
Chino staggers his vocals with the bars so the guitar melody follows it directly after the line
I wish Eros could see the light of day
you and every other Deftones fan! :)
Skin Head Hopefully.
They postponed it because Chino want this to be the last album of Deftones... Al least those are the rumors...

RIP Chi Cheng. One love bro. Your bass still slaps
I can't imagine what this album completed would've been like. From the few songs I heard I think it would've been one of their best. You can definitely feel where Koi No Yokan came from.
The run of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th LP's are just insane. Such high quality stuff, kept getting better, and now this. I had no idea Eros was a thing. This song is insane. I hope we get to hear it all some day.
This is one of the best songs of the band. I have it as a tribute to Chi Cheng, as a farewell in style.
RIP Chi
I've been listening to Deftones since they were promoting their self-titled, when I was 8. I heard Change on a Dragon Ball Z tape, of all places. Now I'm 20 and they're still my favorite band and they still continue to amaze me. I cried the day I found out Chi had passed, a decade after I started listening to them. I felt like I lost a close family member, because they made me who I am. RIP Chi. Smile. You're born again

3/11 Day.
I definitely need to be with someone who loves Deftones as much as me because me and Deftones are a package deal. If I have a kid, fuck little Einstein, I'll sit him/her on my lap and loop white pony.
hahahaaha yessss. White pony for breakfast, Around the fur for lunch, and Saturday night wrist for dinner hahah
And Adrenaline for an afternoon snack lol
Damn! When he sings "OUT" I get Major goosebumps!!! Wow Deftones know what they do to us!!
10yrs anniversary!! i still cant get over how perfect this track is
They played it live. We lived to see this moment
I think that Smile is a hidden brilliant of Deftones. For me it is unlike every other songs they made. They are all great, but THIS. This gives me feeling of love. This gives me happiness. I feel like they were on their peek of musicianship, and they were healing their relationship with each other, especially Chino and Steve.
It is so sad that Eros wasn't released, but I guess it's better this way. RIP Chi Cheng.
Listened to Deftones for a long time. I think this is my favorite one by them. You can almost feel Chi's presence through the Eros material.
This has to be, hands down, one of the best deftones songs EVER.... i need this album!!
Haven't loved a Deftones song this much in years
bro i've been listening to this song a LOT lately.. its so good
My mother just lost her battle to cancer, and I stumbled soon this master piece, I think it found me
I'm so sorry your mom is gone. I hope you are doing well
I lost mine too, I hope you have a strong support system of friends and family, life ain't a bed of roses, let this music be a void,and enjoy life,I hope your doing well
Rip to your mother, godspeed
Rest in peace
Lost my pops to Alzheimer’s. Crushed me. Deftones music on rotation got me through. Especially Risk. Praying for you.
I am just now listening to this in retrospect of ohms. Very powerful. Chi spirit reigns within the new album. Chi unique bass style will forever sound in the history of rock and roll.
ohh. This "You wanna feel it again?" its magic
I need to hear this on an endless uninterrupted loop
Me too. Sometimes this band is literally the deepest feelings I've ever felt. On tape
16 years have passed, and I am still waiting for this.
I listen to this every day because it’s so beautiful and fits every mood. This band has done nothing but beautiful work in my opinion. I saw them in concert last summer and I was right in front of Chino and it was the most heavenly experience I’ve had so far and may ever have. Deftones forever. ❤️
We move together, we cruise 'til 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 to feel again
Smile, you're born again
Do you feel wet?
Do you feel love?
We've sailed through hell knows
They've sank but we float on
You want to go for a ride?
It's over you want to feel again?
You've always said that you knew my worth
And now you want to feel it again
Smile, you're born again
Do you feel wet?
Do you feel love?
We cruise together
It's me and you 'til the end
Smile, you're born again
Do you feel wet?
Do you feel love?
I just listened to this song 50 times in a row
With this comment you have gained my respect
Let me make you think about something - this song is from the last album that Chi would work on. They played this song live for the first time during their Dia De Los Deftones concert, which was their last show before pandemic.
The best way to describe the deftones sound is being parked at midnight by the sea and watching the waves rise calmly then crash on the seawall while blurring out the city lights.
Very accurate
Na. Ocean scares me. I play Deftones while I’m camping in the Rocky Mountains and staring at the Milky Way at night. Sometimes hear an animal call in between that music. Not a single human for 100 miles.
Just recently discovered this. Amazing. Easily in my top 5
I need this song at my funeral , I feel it will touch people in ways they take life granted for. This song reminds me of my uncle & grandpa who left my life before even reaching 21. RIP CHI 🕊️ forever & may all the deftones fans see them live / reach thier full potential. 🤘🏼
I had the chance to watch Deftones two times. Once with Chi back in 07. It was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had in my life. Changed me forever. One Love for Chi! RIP!
this song makes me want to rip my heart out and throw it in the trash, the emotion it invokes in me is unbearable. I love it so much. i will forever love deftones
Idk why but I thought I was the only one. It evokes such a bittersweet heart wrenching emotion that I can't name
SAME you put it better than I could've!
2021 and I can still only hear this on TH-cam. I need this on my playlist!!!
That’s exactly why I use TH-cam premium/music. TH-cam has everything
Beautiful. To me it sounds like it would've fitted in very well on Diamond Eyes. Imagine Smile coming on after Sex Tape, or even if it was the last track after This Place Is Death
Thank you Chino, thank you deftones, team sleep, and, crosses for 30 years of music I can't stop listening to. There have been many great bands to come into my life and go. Yall have been a staple since the first time I heard "bored" back around 91 to now (22). Yall still putting out good music and I'm still listening. Keep it up. I bought cassettes, I bought CDs, I bought the iTunes. You make it, I'll buy it. I don't care what platform that I need to get it from. Best band ever!
Deftones, it’s your turn to give us your greatness. I NEED a new album from you guys. I got TOOL’s after 13 years.
Brett Marbes - early 2020 I’m hearing, brother
2021 and eros still needs to happen
I'm taking my 9 year old son to see Deftones in philly in 3weeks.... It'll be his first concert, and he 7th time I'm seeing them live. Chino is God.
Melissa GT I hate you as a Patriots fan. But I love the fact you and your son got to see the Deftones live. Hope it was a memorable experience.
Was this the one at festival pier?
Mike Ryan Yup! It was!
Fucking A right I'm proud to be a Mexican American hail to Chino Moreno !!!!!!
Their 2016 tour was amazing! I caught that in Phoenix AZ! Check out my channel for live vids of deftones
'Smile' is the first deftones song that made me feel like im really connected mentally with this song - lyrics, rythm, guitar, drums, all. throws me back to my first love times which were the best. this nostalgia, feeling that i am 'born again' and visualising in my head this fresh and cold sunrise in the middle of summer with unique scent. also knowing that this song wasn't released and was connected with this eros album makes me feel like this track is really special and deep.
Deftones have found best balanced bass guitar sound i know.
Not too quiet either too loud, probably meant to add some deepness and spice to guitars
+19ThreeLions97 That's the sound of a legend, Chi Cheng. He is certainly one of the greatest bassists ever.
+SGRev1 Yeah ;p
+SGRev1 And the sound engineers too. Let's not forget them!
+19ThreeLions97 Their sound reminds me open sky, landscapes, ocean etc

Sometimes I need to cry, sometimes not. But tears or no tears this always heals.
Hands down my favorite band, always and forever.
I love Frank's synth fading into Steph's riff. Shit, I love all of them!
Nothing will ever compare… We all miss you Chi… We love you, adore you and we’ll see you soon… -Chi-
The universe needs this song. The world needs Deftones. For Chi
Had Chi not been in that accident we could’ve had more great music than just this unreleased gem. Rip Chi Ching
R.I.P Chi. Your spirit will live on.
my only mother figure in my life recently committed suicide and i feel so lost and confused without her. my heart bleeds for her as i listen to this. i will smile that she once existed on this earth, and i was lucky enough to know her
Hey buddy sorry to hear that my condolences stay strong
Its amazing that they started as a sac town nu metal band and let themselves evolve naturally into their beautiful unique and iconic style that they are now known for. Not many bands who started around that time, in that scene, have had that kind of staying power.
This is one of the most beautiful deftones songs ive ever heard. And ive heard almost all of them, since like 15 years ago
i always come back to this song… it’s one of a kind.. one of those i wish i could see live, a song i cant listen to without crying, one that resonates deep in my chest.
this song rlly is one of a kind. hard to describe and impossible to recreate. all time fav deftones song, what a gift from these musical geniuses :’)
They did it live as part of their Dia de los Deftones concert if you would like to look it up👍
Amazing that Deftones can go from screaming headbang style to beautiful emotional material such as this.
i hope they release this album
That's upsetting. Although if the 75% of an album is as fuckin good as this I would legitimately pay $50 for four songs
+CountdownSmiles they've been working on this album for fucking years Idc if it isn't done. I would also legitimately pay $50 as well, these songs and the album is like a treasure chest of secrets yet to be heard by hardcore Deftones fans across the world.
I wouldn't say they've been working on it for years, to me it doesn't sound like they've touched it. Especially since they were working on GORE. But yeah i would for sure want whatever they DO have finished released as a mini-album
Gore was a bit underwhelming for me. Maybe the next one will resonate with more of an eros type sound, I hope.
Menoetius. I'm confused how do you know the sounds of Eros? it was never leaked or released
Wow what a great song...as a lifetime Defrones fan I cant believe Ive never heard this
Recently born again and still smiling every time I think of Deftones, Team Sleep, Palms, and Crosses hallelujah 🙏
What a masterpiece of a song, and to a band that never gave up.
listening this on late night drives is literal heaven
This is one of their best songs. I wish this was on an album!
Wow... the song, the lyrics, the video, everything is amazing. Well done good sir and thank you for exposing me to this!
My very favorite Deftones track. Gets me in the feels every time 🖤
genuinely one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard
very underated as artists IMO. From the musicality of an 8 stringed guitar to the sweeping, scooping vocals their music is like a soundtrack to real life. Like a modern Four Seasons this would be Autumn. It is the pain of fleeting joy. nothing moves me more except October Rust.
I don't know if they did it intentionally,but this song is very near to 528 hz frequency- The love and healing frequency. I was just listening to frequencies and 528 reminded me of this song, which I love.❤
