"Light Up the Sky" is a song written and recorded by the American rock band Yellowcard. The song was the lone single released from the band's sixth studio album Paper Walls (2007). The live acoustic version was first heard on March 30, 2007, at their concert at the Troubador in West Hollywood, California. It was then played electric in later shows. On May 15, 2007, the fully mixed album version was put on their Myspace page. The song impacted radio on June 5, 2007.[1] It was released on iTunes on June 5, 2007, and it was the most added single to US Alternative/Modern Rock radio stations for the week ending June 8, 2007, and peaked at number 41 on the BillboardModern Rock Tracks chart. The song also reached number 32 on the Adult Top 40 chart.[2]
The video, directed by Lisa Mann, premiered on Yahoo! Music on July 10, 2007. It shows the band playing in a dark abandoned wasteland. However, as the song continues, an orange rain starts and makes the sky above bright for people who live in the gloomy world, bringing life into something that was once desolate and dark.
