Interesting note about this song. In March of 1997, the members of an alien cult named "Heaven's Gate", which was based out of San Diego, committed mass suicide because they believed an alien spacecraft was trailing the Hale-Bopp Comet and the group thought their souls would be taken up in the ship. The bald guy shown a few times in this music video was the group's leader, Marshall Applewhite. Well, Unwritten Law is a San Diego band who recorded "California Sky" in the summer of 1997. Putting these things together, I assumed that Scott Russo and the band were inspired to make this song based on the cult suicide...but a couple years ago I tweeted Russo and asked him if this was the case, and he told me no. I just can't imagine this song _not_ being about Heaven's Gate.
The lyrics really make sense to be about Heaven's Gate. With Applewhite appearing in the music video, it's weird that it's supposedly about something else. But sometimes songwriters deny the commonly believed inspiration for the song, even if it's obvious what the song is about.
Russo is an alien enthusiast, it had nothing to do with it. Definitely a coincidence. But I mean I’m sure maybe the clip of the bald guy was relevant in some way when editing the video. Also, take a close look at Russo’s sleeve. I got a personal in depth explanation from him on it and we share the same beliefs and we had an awesome chat on ancient aliens lol.
Gosh.... 28 now discovered these guys when I was in H.S. Started randomly singing this song the other day and couldn't find the CD anywhere. Had to jump onto youtube and so glad it is here!
From the moment I heard the songs off their first and second record I instantly loved them but for whatever reason it took me a while to get into their third. Now that I've gotten into it I realized this is definitly pop punk at its finest!!!!!
hey,this song is like from the stone age of playstation games,and i still fuckin love it.damn,bring back my junior high times,with that playstation one
There was a girl I went out with one time who knew the drummer for Unwritten Law, she said she would introduce me to him...she never did return my phone call for a second date....I was more disappointed by the fact I would never get to meet him V_V
@@UFOSeekers are you still trying to meet up with him he is still all about aliens and extraterrestrials! I’ll get you in touch with him if you’re still interested
ehhh...then again Marilyn Manson's "Dope Show" and The Offspring's "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" worked well between audio and visuals. but what i can forgive is that maybe at the time Unwritten Law didn't have nearly as lucrative of a budget to pull it of and this was the best they could do then.
This reminds me of nailing TJ Lavins ultimate BMX when I was a kid. Happy days!!!
That game was underrated
Same reason here, love to think about the gameplay when hearing to a song like this!
me too:( I miss my childhood
Hell yeah! That's what decades later brought me here. xD
I think everyone is watching it from that
most underrated UL song....so good still, nearly 20 years later..
ages like a fine wine
I love this song
2020 Active, Im still rollin Blue Room in my Tesla bitch!! Word!!
@@casualacquaintance1100
San Diego shit neighbor. Remember these guys playing soma?
Underrated? This is a classic
Imagine
The dreams we had since we were children
Are real
It's magick
To see their minds filled with the music
We feel
Well here's your message from above
And if you want to push come to shove
Alright
This ain't no lullaby
We're right at home in the California skyIllusions
Are taking part of the confusion
In me
Tomorrow
There'll be no heroes left to follow
You'll see
Bright lights that flash across the sky
May be the reason why we're all insane and I
I don't want to get away and
We're right at home in the California skyLive from the mansion on the hill
Reminds me of the way we used to feel right
Orion's aligned now
Turn back the time
The California sky
I've been looking for this for the last 15 years. I can't believe I found it.
Just played TJ Lavin's Ultimate BMX earlier this morning. It's still as fun as ever.
Twenty years and I'm still unable to resist the urge to yell "live from the maaaansion on the heee-illl".
Got this song stuck on my head since 1999, when I played TJ Lavin BMX
tj lavins.. nostalgic feelings from Brazil
Twenty years from this day nearly, still one of my favorite songs (and records) EVER.
One of the best bands I've seen live.
one of the best songs of unwritten law in absolute
I used to bmx to this back then, I was 21. Now, I'm 32 still riding. Stick with the great jams, and Ride on brotha!

This song brings back so many memories it's crazy
I saw them play in Providence, RI back in the day. Cool band.

This was one of my best friend's favorite songs back in the day. Whenever I think of it my mind goes straight to him lol

ayyy lmao
i wonder,is there any living person,other than myself,to know this song?
Tony hawk
Like si estás aquí por ultimate BMX de Playstation
: )
only complaint, this was a pretty weak music video for such a mystic, and trippy rock song.
In their defence this was 1998
ehhh...then again Marilyn Manson's "Dope Show" and The Offspring's "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" worked well between audio and visuals.
but what i can forgive is that maybe at the time Unwritten Law didn't have nearly as lucrative of a budget to pull it of and this was the best they could do then.
The lyrics are kinda dumb, but the video always gave me chills for some reason.
Sounds like Breaking The Habit by Linkin Park.
admit it, you are old
Ahead of their time. Nostalgia
best U L song
