[@EvaC9421]

[@mcgarryamais]

Yes, unfortunately :/

[@golfammissaghian2817]

Yes it does 💔

[@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

Now the land of post-election "your body my choice" misogyny. Shameful! 🤬🤬🤬

[@Redorgreenful]

😭😭😭

[@mehlanie13]

why is NO ONE talking about her voice? her execution is PERFECT

[@MountainTess]

Her voice is also just like honey. Beautiful.

[@Wormz-nc8pu]

@@MountainTessI think it’s more like powder milk or sugar (in a good way)

[@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 ❤

[@DianaLundin]

You are so right, this song has haunted me for a year. Each one an exquisite sting.

[@zanedrake5709]

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

[@lacrimis_solis]

❤❤❤

[@marielemonnier1036]

The world needs a Paris Paloma - Hozier duet.

[@gorebunny]

SJKLDGJHIGHOIWJHG YES PLEASE

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

YESSSSSSSS

[@yourmidwestprincess]

YES

[@timetravelingjukebox]

THAT WOULD BE EVERYTHING

[@DepthsOfBlues]

Heaven would fall from the skies

[@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.

[@fastandpraywithleonie]

💚

[@mehlanie13]

what is one out of threes?

[@LBelacquax]

@@mehlanie13 It's referring to the fact that about 1/3 women experience sexual assault, I think x

[@snubnosedmonke]

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

[@ThatOneNerdGirly]

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

[@Christine-yl2zx]

Exhausted rage is the prefect descriptor

[@veritypurdy6664]

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

[@DeluluIsTheSolulu]

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

[@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf]

The last generation of yours...no children.

[@DeluluIsTheSolulu]

@@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf Good. I don't have or want kids myself so to me it's a positive. :)

[@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf]

@@DeluluIsTheSolulu No, it's not a positive, it is a terrible tragedy...you will die alone. You have been brainwashed.

[@xXEGPXx]

@@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf You are creepy, do you know that? You scare women, and girls, mostly girls

[@marybell9513]

Love you sisters. We will stick together until the end. We are POWERFUL, we are ONE. ❤

[@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 ❤

[@Meromerodie]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@NanDemoniya]

May i ask why did it not work out

[@hardt9150]

Good for you!!

[@ffacade8391]

​@NanDemoniya didn't she tell you in the comment

[@rachelann724]

I had to laugh at this because it’s just funny how men are.

[@mayjailerxx]

@@rachelann724funny like a Greek tragedy😭

[@Toxilyn]

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" ?

[@sashal1493]

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

[@casriaAmarel]

This one is ESPECIALLY ethereal

[@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! ❤

[@clairer342]

Your comment explained I feeling I had and didn’t know exactly what it was. You described it so beautifully that it gave me chills. ❤

[@arielenergyhealer3705]

OMG. Yes. I had a farmer in West Virginia leave me because I wouldn’t have more babies. This song says it all.

[@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.

[@FinalBand222]

can't stop playing this, especially at a time like this.

[@Urfavoriteblonde47]

We need more people to understand this song

[@dyodoleu]

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

[@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.

[@lucifersalas5369]

You sound like an angel

[@JustLocal]

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

[@Be0BoY-z3o]

and look like one too

[@PrincessInDTower]

I have no doubt in my mind I wouldn't have left my abuser as quickly as I did if I hadn't heard this song on TikTok and added it to my playlist. The chanting of "if our loved died, would that be a bad thing?" was pretty revolutionary to me at the time

[@Thefadedfairy]

NEED ON SPOTIFY ASAPPPP

[@ChelseaBotha27]

So obsessed with the timbre & register of her voice 😫

[@roselover411]

It's too bad she had to skip the second verse (I'm assuming it was time constraints). It's my favorite part of the song with both the weaponized incompetence line and the fear of her daughter becoming the same as she's become with that man as her father.

[@valtameri915]

I love that part too, it's sad it's not in this version.

[@emperorspenguin8235]

1:27 the anger in her face is so livid and I love it

[@ninan9772]

The moment when you realise you have a daughter and you want her to have a better life... I nearly died by the hands of the man who should have loved and protected me. We left, no contact, police, court, everything, but I am broken beyond repair. I would never let a man in my life again.

[@adelecloughcoaching]

Sending you an abundance of love. I promise you aren't broken beyond repair but feeling that way right now is understandable. I promise it gets better. I promise good times are ahead. Just hang in there. I know it's so hard right now. I'm so proud of you for getting out.

[@EvaC9421]

I am so proud of you! Sending you light and tons of love ❤

[@sofiatsiakalou1405]

i've been listening to this the last week non stop. listening to this version made me cry even more.

[@riaria1559]

4B movement.

[@britneyserrano8908]

Thank you!! I feel so seen and heard

[@Gut985]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@xxRememberWhen]

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

[@izanblancoqureshy]

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

[@oolgadiez]

i dont even have words anymore. I’ve cried so much to these lyrics

[@lisaliteration2552]

I've watched this so many times and it still blows my mind. The effortless control of her gorgeous voice, the stunning dress, the backup vocalists and cellists, the location, the guitar.... I mean. This is an iconic performance.

[@lonelyhuman98]

Gives me chills every time

[@golfammissaghian2817]

Same here in America

[@RiseCourage]

THIS NEEDS TO BE ON SPOTIFY

[@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

[@phoenix-qq3ok]

the words "for someone who I thought was my savior" and "Nymph then a virgin" idk why just hurt me so much...Nah the whole song hurts

[@runire4804]

This resonates so strongly, I love that you're using your voice to spread such strong messages! Truly, it's not an act of love if you make her.

[@siir3659]

1:15 literal chills.

[@dasdas-p4y]

This song and marina's "man's world" are my favorite feminist songs, always bring tears to my eyes ans fill me with adrenaline and rage! Always and forever standing for women and in particular the women of Gaza at these times ✌🏼❤

[@talia1868]

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

[@sarvolkskaya]

I thought that too!!

[@lingpesha]

This song gave me the courage to keep on. Build myself back from the ashes he left.thank you so much, I'm free, free!!!

[@can1687]

The ashes he left arise to a phoenix. Stronger and beautyfull ❤

[@mariamariafujoshiinurarea2524]

I literally got goosebumps when she started singing

[@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.

[@annalouise_x]

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

[@Ekkkkkk]

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

[@notthegoodgirl]

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