"Judith" is a song by American rock band A Perfect Circle. It was released as the lead single from their debut album, Mer de Noms, on April 10, 2000.
Maynard Keenan explains on the Amotion DVD how the song is about his mother Judith Marie Keenan. She had a stroke and was reliant on a wheelchair for much of her life yet maintained her Christian faith, which he found incomprehensible.
"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.
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. Allen Daviau was the cinematographer.
