Bulls in the Bronx by Pierce The Veil


Yesterday, May 7, 2013, Pierce The Veil released a new music video to a single off of their newest album, Collide With The Sky. The meaning behind the song its self is very deep. Bulls in the Bronx was written after PTV was emailed by multiple friends of a girl from Australia. All the emails explained how their friend took her own life and how she loved the band. This hit the band very hard especially since the band remembered meeting her. The music video was a disappointment to me and others. The video featured a girl who looked like a perfect student that many would consider a nerd. The girl comes home as a nerd and says hello to her dad then goes upstairs. As soon as she goes inside she completely changes from a nerd type style to a very provocative type. A boy sneaks into her room and then it goes to a fantasy/ dream where the boy is a bull fighter and then gets hit by the bull which then switches to the girl’s father. The boy is then chased out of the house by the father. This is the gist of the whole video. The video has absolutely NOTHING to do with the lyrics. There was so much potential for this video and PTV advertised the video heavily for about a week. Everyone was amped up for it then when it finally came it was a huge let down. The angles and the cuts of the video went with the lyrics and the music though. The videography was good and done very well; there were a few questionable cuts, but overall it was well done. PTV is a very artistic band though and they were doing something different. The song has such great meaning and it is still very close to my heart, but the video just did not live up to it.
