Maynard Keenan explains on the Amotion DVD how the song is about his mother Judith Marie Keenan, who had a stroke and was reliant on a wheelchair for the rest of her life, yet still believed in Christianity.[3][4]


Composition


"Judith" features guitar riffs sliding over complex rhythms and breakdowns. The song's lyrics are deeply personal and express palpable anger. They touch on Maynard's mother, who became reliant on a wheelchair following a stroke, and have him conveying incredulity that she could still maintain her belief in God despite her suffering.[4]


Music video


The music video for Judith was directed by David Fincher, the director of Fight Club, Se7en, and music videos for Aerosmith, Madonna, and the Wallflowers.[5]

«Judith» es una canción compuesta por el grupo estadounidense de rock alternativo A Perfect Circle. Fue publicado en Norteamérica como un sencillo en CD de 1 pista, y en Australia como vinilo y sencillo en CD de 4 pistas. La canción se utilizó para la promoción de Mer de Noms, su primer álbum, publicado tres meses antes. En una entrevista a la banda, el guitarrista Billy Howerdel señaló que "Judith" era "verdaderamente una canción única en la manera que se hizo -de principio a fin- en una sola sesión". Según Howerdel, había partes de Judith ya terminadas antes de conocer al vocalista Maynard James Keenan, pero cuando Keenan se unió, la canción se volvió más contundente.
