"The Crystal Lake" is a song by American indie rock band Grandaddy from their second album, The Sophtware Slump.

It was released as a single on 29 May 2000 by record label V2,[1] and was re-released in several formats in early 2001.

Grandaddy frontman Jason Lytle described the song as "that age-old story, repeated many times in country music, of the wayward soul who leaves a small town with hopes and dreams of the unknown and winds up full of regret in some horrible little apartment in an unfriendly city".
