The Northern Norwegian band
Judith is a hybrid of four young men from Northern Norway with a different set of musical influences.
It is all rock - could be emo, could be stoner, or more popishlike rock - but the sound is all Judith. Will be avalible on last.fm by the end of 2006.
The American goth rock band
Christopher David made face with Requiem in White throughout the early '90s, making himself one of goth rock's rising stars around his native New York City. By 1995, he hooked up with bass player Damian James and drummer Brian Veit for a new project, a darkwave experimental group they called Judith. They made their debut that April at CBGB annual event, Night of Misanthropy, and Judith's first album Föhn was out by December. Since goth rock was still cult and fan-based throughout America, Judith challenged European audiences. Judith's infectious post-punk sound of lush choruses, heavy bass lines, and worldbeat percussion was strikingly similar to the likes of Die Krupps and Rosetta Stone. A deal with Neue Aesthetik was set by 1998 and Judith issued the beautiful chaos of La Reveuse. Monica Richards and William Faith of Faith & the Muse invited Judith to play the Blackout A.D. tour in 1999; this was Judith's first major tour of North America and dates in the U.K. and Germany followed the next summer. Having spent the latter '90s on the road and recording, David, James, and Veit took a well-deserved break before writing for a third album. Play of Light was issued in fall 2001.

If Paradise Is Half As Nice
Judith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who needs paradise I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars
But I needn't sigh because it's so far
'Cause I know it's worth a heaven on earth
For me where you are
A look from your eyes, a touch of your hand
When you are around my heart always pounds
Just like a brass band
If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise I'd rather have you
Oh yes I'd rather have you
If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise I'd rather have you
Oh yes I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars
But I needn't sigh because it's so far
'Cause I know it's worth a heaven on earth
To me where you are
A look from your eyes a touch of your hand
And I seem to fly to some other land
In the lyrics of "If Paradise Is Half As Nice" by Judith, the singer expresses a personal and profound connection to their romantic partner. The opening lines convey a sentiment that if paradise is indeed as wonderful as the heaven this person brings them to, then they would choose their partner over any idealized paradise. This suggests that the love and companionship shared with their significant other is more valuable and fulfilling than any imagined utopia.
The song continues to explore the idea of paradise being located in the stars, a distant and unattainable place, yet the singer debunks this notion by asserting that their partner's presence creates a heavenly experience right here on earth. This reinforces the theme that true happiness and contentment can be found in the love of another person, rather than in a far-off, mystical location.
The lyrics also vividly describe the physical and emotional reactions the singer experiences in the presence of their loved one. A mere look from their eyes or a touch of their hand transports the singer to a different world, igniting their heart and causing it to pound like a brass band. These descriptions underline the intensity of the emotional connection and passion shared between the singer and their partner.
Overall, the song beautifully captures the idea that true paradise and fulfillment can be found in love and companionship with a significant other. The lyrics convey a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for the joy and bliss that the singer's partner brings into their life, suggesting that true happiness lies not in grandiose notions of paradise, but in the simple yet profound moments shared with a loved one.
