This 70 yr old sister is so proud that our girls are aware at such a young age 💞

[@alize7689]

💕🥹

[@riverdeep399]

I bet the accoustics were killer in that building. Enough to give you goose bumps.

[@stabenheimer]

I get goosebumps everything I hear this song.

[@xyeona9624]

The song does that well enough on it's own tbh

[@michellemeyer8225]

Wish I'd been there singing with them-😍🤩

[@LauraMLane]

i got goosebumps rn

[@cairothetiefling_]

Every. Single. Version. Of. This. Song. Is. GORGEOUS.

[@zanedrake5709]

the way i INSTANTLY clicked when i saw this... instant chills... your music is amazing!

[@lacrimis_solis]

❤❤❤

[@LmphLmph]

Absolutely beautiful version, each new edition of Labour is like the different emotions felt and described in the song itself. Hurt, anger, frustration, desperation, disappointment, and everything in between. This song has a power that can't be explained ❤

[@snubnosedmonke]

i need this version on spotify its SOO GOOD, so haunting and soft yet still raging

[@coatknee]

“It’s not an act of love if you make her” are words that I desperately needed. Succinct, poignant, powerful, gutting. To my fellow One out of Threes, I see you and I’m with you.

[@DeluluIsTheSolulu]

This is THE song of our generation. I love it so much.

[@dyodoleu]

1:27 the way goosebumps was gradually building all over my body from my face to my toes as the words progressed

[@MeElleCee]

Me too!

[@nukkapukka5959]

The chills when the choir kicks in ❤

[@dallasflynn5200]

Oh to have been hiding behind a column listening at The Tate while you and these ethereal women performing LABOUR. I wouldn’t have known whether to cry or go screaming in the streets at the absolute oppression. You have created an anthem, @ParisPaloma I am full of gratitude and awe when I hear this song. Thank you to @TateBritain for allowing the use of their amazing building for this performance! ❤

[@briannasnyder1309]

This song will be written in the history books. Our power and fight for our freedom from oppression is building and bending and it will send shocks through the world when it finally breaks to shore.

[@lucifersalas5369]

You sound like an angel

[@JustLocal]

What does an Angel sounds like? You would be dead😂

[@cuongquoc7510]

and look like one too

[@sashal1493]

This song is such a phenomenal tribute to women. Beautiful and powerful. Heartbreaking and rousing. I can’t get enough of it.

[@Randomstuff31415]

I LITERALLY WALKED PAST THE TATE MODERN TODAY BECAUSE OF UNI IN MILLWALL AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T HEAR THIS. I'M SO SAD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@coolpersonwithcake98]

It probably wasn't filmed when you walked past as it takes a while to edit videos!

[@casriaAmarel]

This one is ESPECIALLY ethereal

[@veritypurdy6664]

She is flawless, her voice, her message and her composure, the true voice of our generation

[@ThatOneNerdGirly]

Cacophony is rage, but so is this, this quiet, exhausted rage. Just beautiful.

[@ArockTheDemonic13]

This song fills me first with so much rage. Then that rage turns to power. It's stunning. It sends ripples through the world for every woman and feme-person who hears it.

[@switchbladestrawberry4777]

The fuck is a "feme-person" ?

[@sqacebaby]

I need you to know that there is not a day that's passed since this song came out that I haven't had it stuck in my head.

[@notthegoodgirl]

My favorite song for all the rage reasons every woman has ever felt. This was hauntingly beautiful.

[@Ekkkkkk]

its been over a year but i still get chills with this song

[@Meromerodie]

love the girls on the back their harmonies are on point !

[@dyodoleu]

2:35 aaa that last labour was beautiful, it was so crisp

[@terryjstroud]

As someone who has been deeply hurt by men and patriarchal standards, I find myself enraged by the fact that my experience is only a tiny fraction of what women have had to deal with in their lives and relationships. To have seen so many friends and family in these positions is beyond moving--it calls for action. Conversations with other men to hold them accountable, supporting others to get out of those toxic relationships, and loving and respecting the women in our lives with the utmost care and human decency--those are the first steps to making valuable changes.

[@ChelseaBotha27]

So obsessed with the timbre & register of her voice 😫

[@minayesh8012]

paris palomas music, her lyricism and her voice, touches me like florence. shes soo good im obsessed

[@0stkreuz]

wow this is so beautiful, the building is so aesthetic, she sounds so awesome and the song is obviously brilliant

[@xxRememberWhen]

Every single version of this song is just perfect! Can’t get enough!

[@annekeane9863]

We can accomplish anything together! We, the women of the world, are United. #EnoughIsEnough

[@nlin9197]

absolutely!!❤❤❤

[@aigaf]

All the jobs she names are so essential to society and yet so unappreciated. ❤

[@sowo7136]

Although the drums and the rage in the original version has its place, this version expresses a deeper sense of pain, suffering the acoustic compliments her words, and the very atmosphere of the hall beckons you to listen to every single thing she says. This more than a song, it's more than a story...it's generation of words hidden in the consciences and spirits of so many women and it's finally being brought to light...the silence of each lady in the past to present now echoes and blooms.

[@quackystayresse1885]

I know it's gonna be good before clicking when I see Paris Paloma💜

[@Commenter339]

Lyrics: Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day (the capillaries in my eyes) Therapist, mother, maid (are bursting) Nymph then virgin (if our love died) Nurse and a servant (would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage (for somebody) Live to attend him (I thought was my saviour) So that (you sure make) He never lifts a finger (me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7 (the calloused skin on) Baby machine (my hands is crackin') So he can live out (if our love ends) His picket fence dreams (would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love (and the silence) If you make her (haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour

[@crazyasalways9272]

I cannot explain the process of emotion that I have gone through since the first release of this song. It is now in my head to the point in Whit's randomly. I will start like coming along or murmuring along while dealing with my son. Who will repeat the words back And try to sing along. He's 2

[@cady.moriarty]

This song will go down in the history books

[@annalouise_x]

I can’t wait for the album, every song you release is always incredible! ❤

[@oolgadiez]

[@izanblancoqureshy]

The way excitement builds in every version of this song no matter the version honestly speaks to how amazing it is

[@baruisnothingbutmythsnow]

[@talia1868]

Does this red dress refer to the handmaid's tale ? Such a powerful song and version ❤️‍🔥

[@sarvolkskaya]

I thought that too!!

[@IBSSnapey]

I'll be disappointed if Labour isn't in the next Handmaid's Tale season.

[@WamBambie]

thank you for sharing your voice and art and becoming the voice for so many. This was a beautiful performance, you should be very proud

[@lynnmcduffie8252]

I kicked my Husband out after 39 years of Marriage, I found him an apartment then he was pissed that I didn't set the apartment up & decorate it.

[@saraswatipoudel902]

Gorgeous performance, Paris. I loved seeing you perform on the Kelly Clarkson show, so pumped for Cacophony :)

[@miiiiaaah]

Speechless

[@apriljordan1749]

I stumbled across this song by accident and it just resonated too much. It's like a quite peaceful anthem but pissed. Yes I picked up my guitar and am trying to play it. I haven't been practicing much so thank you

[@JESpivey]

I wish the strings were heard more. They really disappear except for when the camera is focused on them in the middle for a second. I love how they come out in that moment with the vocals

[@Helgatwb]

I absolutely love this arrangement.

[@raffaeragxxx15273]

Amazing performance.素晴らしい。I love you from Japan!

[@marielemonnier1036]
