"
Understanding in a Car Crash" is a song by American
post-hardcore band
Thursday. It was the band's debut
single and the
lead single from their second album,
Full Collapse, in late 2001. "Understanding" was chosen for release as a single and shot by
Victory Records during the band's tour with
Saves the Day without Thursday's consent. The
music video gained rotation on
MTV2 and
MMUSA upon its release in early 2002. The simple presentation features concert footage of the song's performance with shots cascading on top of one another.
