††† (Crosses) - op†ion 

I fell I love with a girl in high school when i was 15 years old. We both went out and lived our lives until we reconnected when I was 32 years old. Now we are married and the happiest we have ever been. This song definitely makes me think of the time we were apart. I would dream of her so often. I NEVER stopped loving her. I was just afraid to tell her back then. So much time lost. I wish I had the confidence back then but I figured her to be WAY out of my league. I am so extremely happy that she felt the same. Damn...always speak your mind folks.

I cried like a baby when I first heard this song, my favourite vocal work by Chino !

I dream a day that God will surface To retrieve his nails and open your heart You'll say you're mine for the ages Just open your heart And say "I swear on the cross" Can you promise this to the grave You'll take my name? Can you promise me? Overseas and over mountains A thousand years I've waited for her To say the lines "from this day forward" Just open your heart And say "I swear on the cross" Can you promise this to the grave You'll take my name? Can you promise me? All this time I've prayed for this day to come true No one knows how deep the waves we waded through I wish I could take your hand and make it true 'Cause no one knows how far apart we've stayed to get through I wish I could take your hand and make it true Cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through Can you say "I swear on the cross" Can you promise that to the grave You'll take my name? Can you promise me?

Call me weak but this song is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. I can’t wait to see my bride and play this song one day. 2021 and still listening to it🔥

Saw them last night at the sold out show in Houston. This was my wedding song and to hear it as the encore was MAGICIAL

All this time I've prayed for this day to come true, No one knows how deep the waves we waded through. I wish I could take your hand and make it true. Cause no one knows how far apart we've stayed to get through

For years I limited myself to just the epilogue and ignored everything else from crosses... Damn I was missing out big

Currently overseas for a year away from my wife and children. This song is what I needed to hear.

This song always reminds me a past love that couldn't be. It was so sad, but finally, I'm good now :)

The most romantic song chino moreno has to offer

Never get tired of this song, every time i come back to it, it is like the first time all over again, fresh breath of air.

"Option" is my favourite song off the ††† album for sure. The bridge part of the song from 2:15 onwards is almost in-describable in words. The way Chino's melodic voice is absolutely beautiful and has brought me to tears many times but in a good way and I can't really explain it but it goes right to my soul and times when I haven't even felt upset or like I've needed to release emotion, A certain Deftones "Saturday Night Wrist or "Koi No Yokan" section of a song can make me almost have a mini breakdown out of nowhere that lasts only about 5 minutes but I always feel amazing afterwards. Sorry if that sounds weird to anyone it was for me the first few times but anyway I guess the Love is too much some times. Everybody dies alone but my Love for Deftones and my Love For Music in General, can't ever be taken from us and will be coming with me to the grave and I can take comfort in knowing that.

This song encapsulates marriage beautifully

Been blasting this track since 2015. Chino Moreno's music is absolutely timeless.

Played this to my girl one and a half years ago…. Loud as hell. She never heard anything like this. Thank you Chino and Crosses.😔

2019 and still listening this piece of art

This song has always made me cry. It embodies exactly the feelings, the emotions and everything that you want so much when you have found your true, real love. His soulmate ... I miss you...

Do you feel what the world is telling you... its all about what makes our moments so unique and special at the same time... music is only a hand that opens that door to that other dimension and wherever you are .. you are the king of your own little world.

The only reason this doesn't have millions of views is because people just haven't heard it or know about it. Crosses and palms, basically anything Chino does is a hidden gem.

I was late listening to the Deftones and Crosses but my God when I heard how versatile and talented Chino Mareno is it blew my mind.Awesome musician not to mention phenomenal writer

this is their best song, hands down. the bridge is amazing and it's awesome how the guitar continues the bridge melody through the final choruses (Shaun doesn't play it in this performance). It complements the "I swear" lyric beautifully.

Objectively the greatest love song ever written

3:10 i LOVE this part chinos voice sounds so heavenly

Pure emotional art. The chorus and bridge in this song are beautiful - I can never stop the tears for trying.

The end makes me want to cry... so beautiful !

this song is so powerful and give me an unexplainable feeling i love it

I just seen these guys in Seattle 3/11/24 at the Moore Theatre, it blew my mind! It was the last show of the tour too. They sounded amazing, Chino's voice sound just as good live as it does on the album if not better. Option was the last song they played too, a memory I will never forget.

went to their show in hollywood on 11.15 and this was the most beautifully performed song ive ever heard in my entire life. it was my ex-boyfriends anniversary and al the memories came flooding through at once when he started singing. we never married. but i wish we did. i wanted to.

I've listened into some tracks from Crosses before, few times here and there, but for some reason I never really gave them a proper try to take the time and go through their songs. Few months ago I have stumbled upon this song from them on my recommendation. Hearing it for the first time, at the time being in a sort of vulnerable state in my life, I can't describe the intensity of emotions this song has brought out from me. Expecting a somewhat grungier track from the intro of this, then being masterfully swayed into the ever intensifying trip of powerful, sentimental and absolutely beautiful, but somehow still bitter parts of the song, this experience has put me in a state for days where all I had on my mind was "op†ion", and somehow suddenly everything felt... monochrome. It was exactly what I needed. I would say I wish I found this song earlier, but the perfect timing of me hearing it for the first time makes this song feel heavensent and really important to me. Months has passed since, but I still believe this to be my favourite song.

This song gives me goosebumps

This song is timeless. And a true representation of emotion. The only way Chino writes. He paints with lyrics. California Classics

This song should get 2.47 million likes. It’s so deep & beautiful! Masterpiece.💔🔥💫✨

Repeat on repeat on repeat 🔁 This song is dynamic and more than anyone else has said. Just the words express exactly what Chino is saying. Just listen….

this song reminds me of my first love, cant stop crying but i hope i never forget her

Makes me happy seeing new people show love to this band. Deftones is my jam always but Crosses has my heart 💜💜

Chino’s voice hits differently all the time..

He wants this to be our wedding song. ❤

One of their best songs in my opinion damn song made my heart cry lol

no one knows how far apart we stayed to get through

Why'd this take me so long to find. I love it!! Just like Maynard, everything Chinook touches is gold

Always count on Chino's vision to captivate listeners with lyrics and a sound that etches itself in your mind. Honestly, Deftones X Crosses, is a genre all in it's own, a sound that can't be replicated or superseded. They own that shit.

This song takes me back to a certain point In time and it’s honestly bittersweet but I love all the vibes this gives of

July 2022...still think Chino's voice is so haunting in this song....2:15 on.....Is like angels welcoming you into heaven...

This world needs more Chino Moreno.

2021 Still a masterpiece

This song always get me thru it. Whoever is still here. 🥲 I’m glad you all know this song like me. I appreciate you.

How can no one like this? This is absolutely amazing. I love Crosses. Quit your yappin, there's people enjoying music here.

keep up the good work Chino ive been here from the start and im loving your solo, you rock chino

Best song on the album am I right?

This song takes me places.

Hearing this song live is something else 💚 Sa.Tx 2024

I've listened to a few of these songs now and compared to Chino's past side project, Team Sleep, I actually like this more. Not that Team Sleep was bad, not at all, but the music with this band is more fitting to his voice.

Just . . . simply . . . sublime. Wish they'd make more music.

I always listened to this song because of my aunt and honestly I’m glad I found it again I used to be scared asking her the name of the song lol.

Need more Crosses in my life!!

Hay siempre una triste felicidad, una sonrisa con lágrimas, una dulce pena en cada paso de saliva y una etapa de nuestras vidas que se ajusta perfectamente en cada obra que Chino Moreno nos regala.

This song means so much to me. ❤

This song makes me think of my best friend, who committed suicide two years ago. I cry everytime

Love you Jillian Richard 7-16-2023

The first time I heard this song was with a crush I wanted to fall in love with but the feelings weren't reciprocated..but he reached for my hand at this part "I wish I could take your hand and make it true" I held back tears.. he never knew how I felt.

невероятно влюблена в эту песню. голос чино всегда завораживает, но здесь возможность почувствовать все известные эмоции взлетает к небесам

forever will be one of my favorite songs ❤
