Zach Hood's Single “How to Change a Tire” Weaves a Heartfelt Tale of Loss and Unfinished Lessons

There's a tangible fragility that wafts gently from Zach Hood's "How to Change A Tire," a melancholic sigh in the air between regret and sorrow. The narrative of the song unspools like a slow confession, with Hood's plaintive voice threading through these fragile memories and moments of loss. His delivery is unhurried yet burdened with the weight of unspoken communication—every note a trigger from down memory lane, to a father’s absence, a brother's missings, and loose ends in coming of age without guidance. It is the type of song that catches you from its very first chords, an understated heartbeat of sincerity and tactful emotion that is too raw to overlook. Hood taps into the quiet human tragedy of botched teachings, as Artemis struggles to execute an action so rooted in practical reality—changing a tire, her father never taught it right—but struggles with larger existential holes that parental absence inevitably leaves. His lyrics carve out a narrative, moving seamlessly between intimate and universal themes, making us all share the sting of what was lost while acknowledging what remains to be learned. "How to Change a Tire" is more than just sound—it’s soulful spoken word delivered through real pain, capturing those chance moments of life’s unpredictable encounters.
