Antje Duvekot - Judas

Not mine. Just posting so that every one can hear this beautiful artist.

Antje Duvekot - Judas

---------------------------------------

Judas Iscariot is kicking up seashells and he is cursing
He's being tortured by the roaring in his mind
That won't surrender the scene
And even here alone in the dark, a thousand eyes are burning
Holes into his heart
Holes into his heart

Jesus, he was the schoolyard martyr
Was every mother's perfect son
Not like Judas In the back of the schoolbus
Invisible to everyone

Well, there was lots of love in between
Joseph and Mary
Joseph was the head coach at the high school
And they were living down on Judas' street
They'd be pitching Sundays in the grass
And usually Judas' father would be drunk off his ass

Jesus, he was the schoolyard martyr
Was every mother's perfect son
Not like Judas In the back of the schoolbus
Invisible to everyone

Last night Judas' father
Threw his son against the wall
And that's how you learn to become invisible

And it may well have been any day like the rest
But the tape shows him moving
And he's standing in the hall
He's never felt this alone before
He's walking through the door and it's springtime

Judas Iscariot is kicking up seashells and he is cursing
And if he stands here long enough maybe
He will turn to stone and wash away
He won't find the bullets
On that fated morning
And he will wake up from this dream

Jesus, he was the schoolyard martyr
Was every mother's perfect son
Not like Judas In the back of the schoolbus
Invisible to everyone

Jesus, he was the schoolyard martyr
Was every mother's perfect son
Not like Judas In the back of the schoolbus
Invisible to everyone

Love this one, too! Do you have "Anna"? Would be great to hear it again.

[Godwillcome]

I have 'Anabelle'...

And boys grow out of the rust

Spin their wheels and turn to dust

On Black Bird Lane, I can hear my mama singing,

Like that?

Most amazing, haunting song ever.

[PedroiaTurns2]

been a fan since 2005. recognition long overdue. even if it does consist of 16-year-olds searching itunes for "Merry Go Round" because they saw some Bank of America commercial...*sigh*

wow...double wow

There isnt a song by this artist that I dont like. She really is fantastic. If you are lucky enough to get to meet her, you should take the opportunity to do so. She played in Charlotte, NC a few months back and I got the chance to meet her. It was fantastic. Currently she plays mostly openers; she said she's not popular enough to do her own tour. I can't wait until she is though!

Antje Duvekot sounds so amazing performing this song live I can't wait for her new album to come out in the fall. saw her live recently w/ anais mitchell and it was unbelievable. when her new album comes out definitely check out coney island, love that song.

Thanks for this information gevansmd. I like all those Gs in a row...Gedda, Gleiwitz, Germany...especially since I'm married to Gerrit from Groningen! We both love Antje's voice and her songs.

The song is about Antje's grandmother, who's real name was Gedda and she was from Gleiwitz, Gemrmany, not Lousiana. Antje explains on her CD "Live at Eddie's Attic" that she changed the name and location because it sounded better. Her grandmother had alzheimer's and that's what the songs is about.
