Music video
The music video for "This Is Gospel" was released on August 12, 2013, coinciding with the song's single release, through Fueled by Ramen's YouTube channel.[4] It was directed by Daniel "Cloud" Campos.[5] As of May 2023, the video has 219 million views on YouTube.
The video features Brendon at the moment when surgeons check his injuries. As they almost start to open his body, he removes the air mask and begins to fight, but tortured. A few seconds later, he is tricked by people and dressed up nicely; however, he is buried alive (with water) and tries to swim in the endless water and break a cardboard wall. Eventually, the scene returns to the surgery, and the surgeons discover that rope is in his body; they used it but he runs away, but pays a life due to suffocation and losing breath from the ropes on his throat. The music video for the band's song "Emperor's New Clothes" is a direct continuation of this video, just as the music video for the band's song "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" is the prequel to this video.
The Music video to the Piano version consists of Urie sitting at a piano in an empty lot and performing the song while streamers, confetti, and ribbons are dropped on him and the piano. Eventually large amounts of water balloons, milk, eggs, noodles, pickles, chicken, and various other discarded foods are dropped onto the piano. As Urie walks away at the end of the song, buckets of blue and purple water are dumped on him. The video was uploaded to Fueled by Ramen's YouTube channel on May 14, 2014.
