	This song is so good -- I love the melody. The line "bright lights they flash across the sky / may be the reason why we're all insane" is one of those song 'moments' you wait for...love it.

	Fucking incredible song. Surely an anthem for any kid who likes UL and lives in CA, and any kid that can relate to loving music - especially with other people - ("it's magic to see their minds filled with the music we feel"), and making some sort of connection with the place we grow up. A lot of people hate their towns but a lot of people like where they grow up because of the people around them and the way unwritten laws are rulers, not controlling bullshit or segregation or competition. These types of communities are rare these days but do still exist. I think this song is indirectly referrencing them. UL speaks of where they grew up and how it will always be home because of the people, places, and unwritten laws - the chemistry of it all.
