Skyana Rava 928 Posted Sunday at 07:00 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:00 PM I still haven't processed how well Judas is doing right now 17 year-old me is quaking in the boots her mother bought her for college I.... I loved Judas so much, and the video a work of art. The absolute trauma of Gaga's public rejection and even rejection by my friends has made it emotionally difficult to listen to Judas for years. Finally people are recognizing the importance of this song and it's chorus of love, forgiveness, ecstasy and revolution, the bridge that is a poem that should go down in history: "In the most biblical sense, I am beyond repentance, Fame hooker prostitute wench, Vomits her mind. But in the culture sense, I just speak in future tense, Judas kiss me if offensed, Or wear ear condum next time." I didn't even understand the power of the song at the time -- but I felt it. It felt like a rebuke of all I was taught as a child, a celebration of something other than the good christian girl. The girl I never had a hope of becoming. And now people are streaming it... It doesn't just feel like vindication for Gaga. It feels personal. It feels like people are ready to recognize the power and beauty of difference. The consuming power of love. The power to be oneself under the scrutiny of the world. I just. I just I was so alone, we little monsters were so alone in the BTW era. And it was a different time for LGBTQIA+ folk, I mean gay marriage was still under debate in the United States. People thought trans people didn't exist. That time was so hard... And when Gaga said "I just speak in future tense", I did not believe her. I did not believe the world could change that way. And here we are, people finally listening. 1 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagini 1,728 Posted Sunday at 08:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:40 PM It's wild seeing straight people hear Judas on the radio/sing it at the gym. Why can't do this for Mayhem tracks? Honestly if I were president I would make it a law to stream Gaga's music and I swear to every god that ever existed that I would sign that executive order.
