My most recent song of the week selection comes from a band that is currently supporting A Day to Remember on the Game Changers Tour. Although I saw these guys at the Warped Tour last year and enjoyed a couple of their songs, I was never really into them until I saw them recently at the Palladium in Massachusetts. At first I felt that their lead singer came across as whiny and they seemed to be trying to hard to create music that was both catchy and heavy at times but ever since I saw them the second time I have began to listen to them a lot more. This band, hailing from San Diego, California, is none other than Pierce the Veil and their song "Bulletproof Love" is my song of the week.
"Bulletproof Love" comes as a weird pick to me at first, not hearing the song until I heard it at the concert a mere week ago, but I instantly fell in love with the song. This is the song that really helped me to understand how great of musicians that Pierce the Veil are and has really gotten me into them. Although not one of the heavier PtV songs, it is still just as enjoyable live as any other song. Lead singer and guitarist, Vic Fuentes, really sings his heart out, communicating the emotions of a breakup with a girlfriend using a variety of metaphors. I also enjoy how they composed the instruments together. Lead guitarist, Tony Perry, really steps up for this song, creating many catchy high-end riffs, to only further enhance the song. The rhythm section of Pierce the Veil is also great, offering a great mid-tempo beat to keep the structure amongst Perry's sometimes offbeat riffs.
"Bulletproof Love," although not Pierce the Veil's strongest song, definitely proved to me how great of musicians they really are, and began to get me hooked on them. Although I have already scene them twice in concert, I definitely can see myself seeing them again and look forward to what next musically for the band. Posted below is the song of the week, feel free to let me know what you think about the song. Also be on the lookout for my concert review of the Game Changers Tour, I should hopefully have it up within a week or so.
Pierce the Veil-Bulletproof Love
This is a fairly catchy song. I wasn't much of a fan of it until the second time I listened to it and read the lyrics. I can relate to a good number of the lyrics too. The part "My love for you was bulletproof, but you're the one who shot me," is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteYea I really like that line. I love his use of metaphors. But you should definitly check out more from them, they are really good. Most of their songs are about love and things of that nature.
