I dunno. It's an interesting idea, I guess? I can't remember the ones from the other three bands but Understanding In a Car Crash by Thursday is a very fascinating song, lyrically.

mat kearney also has a song about this, but hes not an screamo singer

Glitch's Photostream


He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there, He is pleased even with their stumbles.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.
Every New Day - On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

I was just about to mention him. XD That song (about how a friend's experience in a car crash helped him solidify his trust in God) is REALLY good.

Didn't ZoEgirl make a song on a similar subject, too? I want to say it's "Forever 17", but I'm not sure if that's the right one...

At the moment I can only think of one song I've heard that involves a car crash and it came from the 1960's: Tell Laura I Love Her. Very sad song... ;__;

Other than that, none come to mind.

One must not forget "Last Kiss", originally recorded in the 1960's, but brought back to life by Pearl Jam.

Yeah that Forever 17 song by Zoegirl is about a car crash. Glass In The Trees by Dead Poetic is one of my most favorite songs ever and stuff.

How about "Fiddler on the Green".

Kali...Your avatar frightens me very much...If I saw it on the road I'd have a car crash worthy of a song.

Totally the one I was thinking of.

A car crash plays prominently in the music video for Coldplay's "The Scientist" as well.

Well, having been in a car crash....I can say its a pretty big thing. Its a very emotional event. You can feel about 10 different emotions during and after a wreck. So its a pretty relateable thing to most people. That, and it makes for ultra cool music videos man. Like whoa.

I'm pretty sure that the song that you're talking about is from their "Changing Of Times" CD is it not Zam?

Oh where, oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to Heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world


Oh yeah, "Tell Laura I Love Her" is also quite tragic.

Ah! That's the name of the song by Pearl Jam! I love that song. It always makes me want to cry.
That's the only car crash song I can think of right now,
