I Felt This Anger Deeply… First Listen to A Perfect Circle “JUDITH” (Reaction)

This is my first time hearing A Perfect Circle’s “JUDITH.”
As a man of God, this was a challenging yet deeply moving listen — but as a creative and artist, I believe in honoring artistic expression without judgment.

Maynard’s raw emotion, anger, and honesty hit hard, especially knowing the pain behind this song. I also personally resonated with the grief, having witnessed a similar loss in my own family that shaped our relationship with faith at a young age.

In this reaction, I share my honest thoughts, my respect for the strength it takes to make a song like this, and how my Christian walk remains grounded while still showing grace to those processing pain differently.

🎶 Art can be angry. Faith can still be strong. Both can coexist.

Edit: I realize that she was still here in this song and he's speaking from a younger, angered son. I realized that after I watched it over but at that point i was finished with it all. Besides that, my pov still remains the same, opposite of it being grief in this moment. Anger still, yes ! But not grief in the moment.

I want to make this clear — this reaction comes from a place of grace, not judgment.

As a Christian, my faith is solid.
As an artist, I respect raw emotion, pain, and honest expression.

“JUDITH” is powerful because it doesn’t hide the anger that can come with grief, and I tip my hat to Maynard for having the courage to create from that space. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, loss, or questions you didn’t have answers to — I hear you.

Respect man. Your ability to empathize and respect other folk’s pain is very apparent.

You got a good head on your shoulders, bro. You got an open mind, you stuck to your principles, but you worked to understand his context and you didn't judge the dude for the way he dealt with his anger and grief. If all Christians could be like you, the world would be such a better place.

I'm glad you got the real context later on. This is some angry Maynard here lol. I think he was just sick of watching her suffer while clinging to a faith where the congregation blamed her for what happened to her.

His mother was a devoted Christian, Maynard was angry that the church kinda wasn't there for her when she was paralyzed. He wrote some Tool songs " Wings for Marie pt1 and 10,000 days pt2 as a Tribute to his mother, They are powerful song and need to be reacted together when you check them out.

That's the line. "You're such an inspiration for the way I'd never ever be." That's a cold opener as any.

this was after his mother was partially paralyzed by a stroke when he was 11. grappling with her remaining faithful. kind of like Job. 10,000 Days and Wings for Marie were after she died, after 10,000 days (27 years) paralyzed.

His mom was devout in her beliefs and her church treated her like dogshit. That's why he's so angry, angry on her behalf, not at her, per se.

Wings for Marie will blow your mind, I think...

This man lost his faith in Christ because he loved his mother so much, how could Christ not heal her? Sad and relatable. Heavy 🔥

My mother had surgery to install a pace maker just hours ago..her faith always perplexed me, but I really think it helped her through this most trying day. Hug your mother everyone!!

As a kid I cursed God for taking my dog, so I understand the feelings when it’s your mother.

@SeantheShrekk 9 months ago (edited)

I respect how emotionally and spiritually mature you are in context of songs like this.

As you go further in your metal journey, there's stuff out there FAR more blasphemous, so I'm glad you're prepared.

@jmathieson15 9 months ago (edited)

You’re right. Continue the story and listen to Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days (Wings part 2). Judith was before his mother passed and Wings 1 and 2 are after she passed. His anger and raw emotion are fresh and his lyrics are amazing as always.

Great reaction man. I really enjoyed your breakdown.

I recommend listening to four songs. The first song is Jimmy(Tool), Judith(APC) and Wings Pt1 and Pt2. They express his mom’s faith. Very powerful set of songs. Maynard is one of the best lyricists of our time.
