man is it just me or do alot of bands(mostly screamo) have songs that referr to car crashes i name at least 5 (ok maybe not namt the songs but the bands)

Chasing Victory
kidsintheway
Dead poetic (glass in the trees)
Thursday

well theres four and i can't think of anymore at the momment but there are some. why do these bands use car crashes so much.

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.

so that genre is back? You used to hear a lot of "Kids in cars getting killed" songs on oldies stations

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

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.

"Dead Man's Curve" was another. There were others but I don't know the titles

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.

"Untitled" by Simple Plan.

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.

Heck yes..

Underoath does one but i forgot what it was called...

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.

It's a Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door..

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,

Also, let us not forget The Otherside of the Crash/Over and Out (of Control) by Thursday and Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck by the Blood Brothers.
