A Flight and a Crash
Hot Water Music · A Flight and a Crash [2001]
Here's one of time passed of a flight and a crash, over and again,
In Boulder and San Francisco, a halfway house pack home
Back out of his head.
Out searching, for the escape. for an answer, or a reason that his poison has deleted,
Anything worth all that's wasted now,
finds no difference where he's standing 'cause he's standing with a shotgun and a needle.
Arms reaching and head pounding from the screaming.
Says: "I don't know what I am doing anymore.
I raced all night again, I just want it over."
Heart racing.
Head pounding from the screaming.
Heart racing now

A Flight and a Crash
Hot Water Music's 2001 self-titled album features the title track, a defining piece of their mid-90s indie rock output. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic pop sensibilities with gritty, lo-fi production aesthetics that became central to their sound. Recorded during a pivotal era for the group, the track captures the raw energy and emotional vulnerability characteristic of their discography. It stands as a testament to their ability to craft catchy, hook-driven songs that resonated deeply within the alternative music scene of the early 2000s, balancing catchy choruses with a distinct, unpolished texture.
