Judas (#17)



   Judas is the new song by Lady GaGa. It's about a girl who's dating a man that betrays her. It also represents different, bad things that have happened to her in her past; things she couldn't escape. The composition of the song, in general, is really no different than many of her other ones, but it still manages to bring a creepier feel to the subject matter. The song is also named after Judas Iscariot from the Bible. Judas was one of the 12 apostles that betrayed Jesus.
   This song, I feel, can be very relatable to society. Everyone, at some point has been betrayed. And when someone's betrayed, they want to somehow get rid of the hurt or anger they're feeling. Creating art can be a good way to do that. It also helps artists to become more creative and unique in their artwork.
   I find this inspiring because Lady GaGa did something different once again. It's still a pop song, but it's not like any of her others. She stuck to a genre and warped it to her liking, but was still able to grasp the positive attention of the majority. It makes me realize that most categories aren't strict. You can still honour them, but make your work original.
