“If we had a daughter I’d watch and could not save her” has made me sob on multiple occasions

[@Zillah128]

Yay! I saw on her tiktok how she had taken recordings of hundreds of women screaming, chanting, singing, harmonizing, anything else you could think of and put them all together. I believe that's the part where ALL the layering is. It was originally a trend on tiktok as female rage and grew to be a couple others. I'm so glad you reacted to this because everytime I listen to it my body fills with chills.

[@britneyramsden-barlow3919]

She literally has a version called the Labour- the Cacophony. It includes all those womens voices on the track. It's incredible.

[@courtneym75]

The Cacophony is SO POWERFUL. I feel the rage of my maternal line, even if I'm not being treated the way they were. I feel the weight of 1000 generations hit me all at once

[@shaedgirrl99]

The line that hits the hardest for me is the "so he never lifts a finger", which could be taking care of the house and him, or so that he doesn't"lift a finger " and hurt her

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

Yes, this line has always made me think of the options!

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

"weaponize the false incompetence; it's dominance under a guise" he knew what he was doing, he just figured she wouldn't have the strength or self respect to leave

[@little_pixie_nerd]

I once read somewhere that this song awakens the generational anger of women and I absolutely agree with that statement. I luckily have a very healthy relationship but this song makes me feel that anger. The double meaning of the „so that he never lifts a finger“ line hits me every single time I hear it. Great reaction, guys! ❤

[@shanajeangedeon9060]

Especially since that line has a double meaning; "never lifts a finger" also refers to not wanting to be hit as well as him doing no work😣

[@Pupsii_Cola]

I feel like people don’t talk about this either, but “it’s not an act of love if you make her,” really makes me think of sex too, and how a lot of men expect it in relationships solely because they’re in a relationship while do nothing to contribute

[@galnyxie2545]

If anyone recognized the fruit, it’s a pomegranate. It’s commonly associated with fertility so it’s great imagery but it also reminds everyone of Hades & Persephone (depending on the version of the tale) and how Persephone went from a dutiful daughter to a strong and beautifully strong queen of the Underworld.

[@SweetestPain1991]

There are so many tiny things in this video. The candles for example too.

[@mackaylacook148]

Incredible

[@breemartinez2701]

this song is very much a woman’s rage song and i LOVE it.

[@firefoxelle]

It's common to see/hear women's stories around things like Thanksgiving when it's all the men that watch the football while the women cook. And then after the meal, the men go and lounge on the couch because they're so full and sleepy and the women (who are also full and sleepy) will go and clean everything up and do the dishes. Once you start watching for these things, you'll notice more and more.

[@pinsandneedles3]

Yes!!! This often also goes for the children present. Girls are expected to help cook and set the table and do the dishes, boys can run around, play and relax. I remember starting to notice this in my family when I was around 10 years old. I would ask my mom and grandma why my brother and boy cousins weren't helping and they would just be confused like "why would they???" It's so sad and so, so frustrating.

[@thealmightybucket5930]

even just a family dinner. we invited some family to our house. i noticed that after a big meal i would get up to help my aunts and my mother clean up while my uncle lounged on the couch in our living room.

[@SomethingHereIsAbitFruity]

My grandfather (bless him) is the only man I’ve ever seen helping the women cook in the kitchen during Thanksgiving. The other men go straight to the living room to talk and watch tv until the food is ready.

[@thealmightybucket5930]

@@SomethingHereIsAbitFruity that's exactly what happens in my family, except my dad is the only one that helps

[@ginster458]

I think it is even worse with barbecues. The women buy everything, marinate and prepare meat, fix salads, side dishes, maybe even desserts, set the table, carry everything out, and clean everything afterwards, but then the man will pat them on the back and ask benevolently if it wasn’t nice they didn’t have to cook for once since he put the meat on the grill ans turned it a couple of times. Watched it too often. And I’m not saying these men are asses on purpose, it’s just really literally unseen labour.

[@requiem-girl]

I'm gonna nerd out about the lyrics a bit because so many of them have double or hidden meanings or are just well done in general. "The capillaries in my eyes are bursting". This is the first one that caught my attention, because one thing I can never get out of my head is the statistic that showed abusive men who strangled their partner were very likely to kill them at some point. There are very few scenarios in which capillaries burst, but getting strangled is one. It's a very strong start to the chorus, not many people catch it on a first listen, but it implies this extreme level of physical violence without outright saying it and sets the tone for the rest of the song. "For somebody I thought was my saviour, You sure make me do a whole lot of labour". This is just a line I love on a personal level. It's so devastating. The hope that is being lost here. It also symbolizes the unfortunate reality that many people who are in abusive relationships often get out only to get abused by their new partner too. "Labour" in itself can mean two things, as you pointed out. It's work, but it's also childbirth. With later lines like "24∕7, baby machine, So he can live out his picket fence dreams" it's clear that the double meaning is intentional. "Live to attend him, So that he never lifts a finger" is another double meaning. On one hand it means "Attend him so he never has to work", but it also means "Attend him so he never hits me". And just like the start of the chorus subtly hints at domestic violence, "It's not an act of love if you make her" hints at sexual violence as well. On the surface level it can stand for all the acts of care performed in a relationship, as you two discussed, but the placement of the line is intentional: When the chorus and bridge overlap it aligns with "And the silence haunts our bed chamber". Linking a forced "act of love" with the bedroom shows what the lyric is talking about. It's such a good song, and every single woman I've talked to about it says the same thing: It resonates. Deeply. Not everyone can relate to every single thing in the song, but everyone has at least one line that reflects their lived experience. For me personally "All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid" hits the closest to home. It's just a really good song with incredibly clever lyrics and an unfortunately very present and real message.

[@margaretconnor5623]

That capillaries in your eyes can also burst from giving birth. It's another double meaning lyric. The capillaries in her eyes are bursting, but is it from abuse or is it from childbirth? both could be true.

[@ashleyronquillo102]

@@margaretconnor5623 I believe it's abuse. The character doesn't have any children with him yet. Take note the tense used in "if we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her." Many women who are in relationships that are abusive before children purposely do everything they can NOT to get pregnant. (Were the village witches back in the day actually witches, or did they just know which herbs kept abused women from getting pregnant and the men didn't like that.)

[@TeeBagGee]

It can be applied to actual child birth labor. 24/7 baby machine. Men making the rules about a woman's choice in this aspect. "You make me do too much labor"

[@paulina332]

It’s such a good song, there are so many lyrics with double meaning

[@cairothetiefling_]

"so that he never lifts a finger." is a double meaning. Never lifts a finger to help, but never lifts a finger to harm her.

[@thealmightybucket5930]

oh my god i just realized that

[@jamiesilver7401]

As a woman this song just rings so true. I grew up watching the lyrics of this song play out with my own parents. My mother is a stay at home mom, and raised / is raising, myself and my three younger siblings. She did almost all the cooking and cleaning, took care of the kids, ran a successful small business for a few years, home schooled myself and my siblings, etc, and my dad still had the nerve to tell her she didn't contribute enough to the household and needed to get an outside job on top of all she was doing. Never mind the fact that our poor financial state was due to him not being able to keep a job longer than two years, making stupid business decisions, moving no less than 11 times, etc. Because the only family responsibility he wouldn't let my mother take was taking care of the finances, cause power and control and all that jazz.

[@vanilla6326]

It’s the generational trauma song!!! Also Paris is eating a pomegranate in the video, a fruit associated with femininity and Persephone, a goddess of both spring and death. Just a little bit of video storytelling there

[@tigerrlilystudios3525]

Please more Paris Paloma songs, this is the only major one that gets recognized but she has so many other good songs worth listening to

[@amberhoward7807]

Drywall is my favorite and I am excited to hear the new song she is about to drop as I have heard snip bits of it and it sounds good!

[@tachi4ever]

I have not stopped listening to Notre dame in like a week

[@ivy3134]

This song is healing and also kinda F's me up. I'm 24 in September. My childhood got fucked when my parents separated when I was 11, and later divorced. I became "Mom". My siblings were 4 and 5 at the time, with one being autistic with significant developmental difficulties. She was in pull-ups and mostly nonverbal - she was mentally about 2 y/o, and faced a lot of challenges growing up. I'm autistic too, but can care for myself. The older I got the more ungrateful my dad got, and the more I saw why my mom left. "You make me do, too much labour"

[@magnum_cx8805]

Her song “Notredame” was one of my most played songs last year and for good reason. But this one, the lyrics hit so hard for so many people and women. Wives, girlfriends, mothers, daughters, sisters… there are so many people who are just casually expected to do so much more domestic work and emotional support and managing to little to no praise.

[@badwolfwhovian63]

This hits different with the overturning of Roe in America. 😢💔

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

Mhm

[@zazoo5557]

"Your false incompetence, it's dominance under a guide" is absolutely one of my favourite lines in this song, and that's a tough decision, because this song is packed with bars.I enjoyed your reaction and analysis of this song!

[@tallieoverred7]

This song speaks to me on so many levels. Even though I have not been in an abusive relationship, i know so many of my friends who have.

[@rebeccad4098]

I have heard this song many times before but today I’m angry and overwhelmed at work and it was almost too much to hear. Choked back tears. It’s a true experience for women, especially as the fabric of the country crumbles and we can see a clear route to legal challenges of our rights as people.

[@FreyaMeows]

You guys should react to Labour (the cacophony) and The fruits by Paris Paloma!! Those are my all time favorites.

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

Yes! Labour The Cacaphony is my favorite

[@Cin_Was_Taken]

Chills every time their cacophony of voices kick in.

[@TheSolarSystemx]

This song is so so powerful to me, thank you so much for listening to it on the channel ❤

[@musicnchocolate]

I was so excited when I saw that you guys reacted to this. I saw her in concert last year and it was one of the best nights of my life. That haunting/ Jolly sailor bold aspect of her voice is so captivating live. I would recommend listening to 'the fruits' and 'as good a reason' next. Or even 'yeti'.

[@AmandaJewellsC]

I found this song over a year ago, love it! As always sending love to all from Memphis ❤

[@traechurch8657]

Heck yeah! Fellow Memphian here.

[@AmandaJewellsC]

@@traechurch8657 Gtsy! Stay safe!

[@rosebelova7139]

There's a Cacophony version of this song, using a lot of voices from when it was trending on TikTok. I highly recommend that version, it's incredible.

[@thegothfolk]

I think the line about his "weaponized false incompetence" says it all. Love your faces through the whole thing because as ugly as the story is she's telling, it is a beautiful song with definite groove.❤

[@cassandranicole7909]

ALL day EVERY day!!! 💜💜💜

[@azmotochick]

I kind of interpreted it taking place only in that room as her feeling trapped and confined, unable to escape. Then at the end she was finally able to get out.

[@marybeougher2953]

This is the first time I’ve heard the full thing. It’s great

[@Hi_Im_Lee]

would love for you guys to listen to The Fruits by Paris Paloma. also a very powerful song, i absolutely adore it.

[@StarStuffGal321]

Yay! Paris! She is so talented. Notre Dame!

[@oliviaknight1502]

I would recommend ‘The Fruits’ by her as well.

[@FairwishChanzeBreytenbach]

I've been WAITING for this reaction! I actually cried, because this song is so powerful and I can feel it bubbling up inside me every time I listen to it😭

[@lka9900]

This song awakens the rage of the feminine ancestors. The weight of expectation to play so many roles is exhausting.

[@rimesfan11]

I’m in a happy and loving lesbian marriage now but in the past I’ve been with men and one thing in the song speaks to me the most . “Nymph then a virgin” is sooo real. We are so often pressured into sexual activities. If we don’t give in, we are told we are prudes, teases, fickle, or emotionally exploited (ex:” I feel like you don’t love me.” “I don’t think you are serious about this relationship.”) If we do give in we are called every name under the sun either from them bragging to people or towards us the second anything goes awry. So many of us get pressured into sending pics and them the first threat we get when they get mad is “I have these and I could send them to anyone you know.” This is not all men (and it is a few lesbians as well, anyone can be toxic). But it is more men than it should be.

[@centauriA1pha]

This song had me in angry tears. I played this for my mom and she felt that way too.

[@laraibahmed3090]

Something incredibly satisfying, moving but also troubling in how much this song resonates with myself and practically tells the story of generations of women in my family. Every line was far too accurate!

[@Sebambi]

I love her and this song. So glad you guys were so engrossed & enjoyed it. She's truly an artist.

[@animalunaris]

People are talking about the pomegranate representing Persephone as a strong female Queen of Hell, but also there’s the subtext that Persephone was actually abducted and r*ped by Hades. She didn’t consent to being made his Queen. She was given to Hades by her father without even asking her opinion, but Her Mother was so distraught she nearly destroyed the Earth trying to find (‘save’) her.

[@Zeilea1161]

the fruit is a pomegranate which is associated with fertility and basically is deemed a fruit that represents women. also if you look closely at the candle she lit earlier at the end it goes out because she was over the relationship and the guy had a candle as well that was tall and unlit as he was not putting any effort into the relationship and the girl was which is why it was small and way she lit it at the start, in all the music video is amazing and super creative with all the things that are used to represent something else.

[@mozzy3510]

Oh my goodness I LOVE Paris Paloma so much!! I don't know if you guys have reacted to it already, but I noticed how much you guys are fans of Sleep Token (my favorite band hahaha) so I'd like to recommend a song of hers called "the fruits" that I put on a playlist full of nothing else but Sleep Token. There is a reason behind that to do with the song's meaning but I don't want to spoil anything haha

[@melements24]

I am so thrilled for this to finally come across reaction radar ❤❤❤great reaction guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@meringutann1896]

yesss!!! im so glad to see you reacting to her, I am a community moderator for her and I loved watching your reactions, definetly would recommend the rest of her music, new album coming out soon as well!

[@georginaalbanis2859]

This is an anthem for all women who have experienced some form of gender inequality, and this kind of behavior from men! All women can relate to this song, because all women are expected to behave and act and dress a certain way from childhood. it’s about the patriarchy as a whole, forcing women to keep having babies, and being subservient and submissive to men, so that they can have a slave labor force in the future. The line, “It’s not an act of love if you make her” is so important! It’s about control of women and gender inequality! THAT IS what this song is about. She said so, herself.

[@Juhmis]

There's a version of that song with all woman around the world singing the song through the internet

[@Rr-rR216]

Do more Paloma songs please❤

[@destiny8794]

I've been waiting for this one!

[@jlgrasso93]

Being played out in one room… behind closed doors is where it happens. This kind of treatment is so covered but so accepted.

You guys should react to ‘The Fruits’ by her sometime! 😊

[@cinemacodey]

I love this song so so much!

[@devlinfoyston5522]

Much love from Sudbury Ontario Canada

[@edwarddougherty-youp2051]

I wondered why this song sounded so different from the version I listen to, just realised I listen to LABOUR - the cacophony which has a completely different tone but in my opinion has a stronger sense of female rage

[@AliceI7764]

It isn't a stereotype, gentleman. I lived it for 25 years. This song is an indictment of the patriarchy and how it has damaged women. This is a reality that almost all women have had to contend with throughout time, including today. This song has become a battle cry for women all over America as our rights and freedoms are systematically being stripped away. If you are genuinely interested in what this song means, you should watch h the cacophony version of this song. When you do, stop the video to read what women all around the world have to say about their treatment at the hands of men.

[@remchwan]

Please do Memphis May Fire. Start with songs with The Challenger album like Vices, The Sinner, Alive in the lights or Red in Tooth & Claw. Pharisees, Sleepless Nights or No Ordinary Love from Unconditional album. Anything from the album Remade with Misery will do, too.

[@serpaservicess1568]

Please listen to “i choose violence” and “Victoria’s Secret” by Jax!!!

[@MaddiesMilkshake]

Does anyone else notice how the candle next to her was lit till the end while the one next to the man was never lit making me think she was kinda in love till the end unlike him who was never in love with her?

[@moonwolf3658]

You should do "Dry Wall" by Paris Paloma as well. Its like the sequal to labour

[@ezrathing]

Yes! Woman rage song!

[@jessiemay5040]

Super emotional. The feminine rage it brings up is wild. Thanks for the reaction. I cry every time.

[@princessjava42]

So glad you reacted to this song! It gives me chills every time I listen to it. Sadly it is a very relevant song. And these sort of very rigid gender roles only serve to hurt all people.

[@daneliokamidane-chan872]

You guys gotta listen to her song "As good a reason" if you haven't already And if you want some more feminine rage and vindication I would recommend you look up EMELINE (Cinderela's dead, Everything I'm not, what it means to be a girl, are some good ones to begin with)

I recommend you listen to HOT TO GO! By Chappell Roan

[@Missmarie10]

I showed this to my mum , it hit her so hard bless her. Her parents split up when she was 10 and she had to look after all of her siblings and her father, so many men say it’s a woman’s job I’m not doing that 😡 we are all equal at the end of the day but unfortunately in some cases that is not the way , it’s about time it all changed 😊

[@gamergirl209]

I know this is such a feminine power ballad, but it is really interesting to hear how you guys brought up the idea that the men dont know that theyve been taught to be like this. Its a refreshing view to know it can help men reevaluate their own upbringing.

[@TimbreWuulf]

This song perfectly embodies "quiet female rage" to me.

[@Winter29734]

Not sure if you will see this as I'm not a patron, but I think you would like "not all men" - Morgan St. Jean. Very similar to this song. (Also Labour has a newer version where Paris includes her fans voices singing along with her that you might enjoy, it's called "labour (the cacophony) - Paris Paloma

[@chayasorabella4581]

You should check out her recording of this song called Labour- The Cacophony. It's so powerful and involves so many of her fans.

[@bchambliss264]

I've had a relationship that it would have been easier to leave if he hit, but it was all words sharp as daggers daily. That is what that song is about for too many people, men and women.

[@ashleylaforest4961]

I don't know who she is but u may have gotten me into a new artist

[@TempestGamingVODS]

i think definitely the most heartbreaking part of this song is that you can hear what sounds like children singing along with her, because the scary truth of the world is that it doesn't matter how old you are. it is all women, whether the men (perpetrators or 'innocent') want to admit it or not. every woman you know, young and old, has a story.
