there's darkness behind everything. everything has ambivalent qualities. It's our narrow sighted view of one or the other that determines what it becomes. Declaring the patriarchy as "dark" is no less valid as pointing out the matriarchy has it's dark torturous elements as well. There's a reason why mother nature is a matriarch that destroys and creates. Just because something isn't perfect, doesn't mean its dark. It means what we are looking at, or how we are looking at it, makes it dark. Don't get stuck in the ideology of thinking how something seems is the only thing it is.

@@frankiemillcarek6976 how is patriarchy good? Well, for starters, are you currently running on a treadmill to generate electricity to communicate right now? Are you using technology that youd never in your entire life be able to manufacture on your own? Are you currently possessing the ability, if someone were to assault or steal from you, something humans have suffered from since before we could speak, would you be able to call an entire structure of law to defend you and your property at a moment's notice? Are you able to spend money to get things you want? Are you able to send someone who tries to kill you, to jail? Patriarchal qualities are, order, security, wisdom, courage. Matriarchal qualities, are compassion, liberty, truth and freedom. Theres a reason why the statue of liberty is FEMALE and the founders are FATHERS. What examples do I have of tyrannical matriarchy? How you seen the show Mean Girls? Have you been raised by a narcissistic single mother and two older sisters? Have you seen the movie Cruella or the Devil wears Prada? Fiction, yes, based on real types of woman. The same types who would construct a tyrannical matriarch, as they do by default with their personality disorders. The same tyrants of Mao and Stalin and Hitler, exist within the female population. Unless you're under the sexist impression that woman are harmless.

You destroy the patriarchy by first recognizing it and it’s sins, then you expelled those sins and those who seek to continue to commit them, through education, law, entertainment, and yes anger social consequences and unbridled passion for the cause. Your obsession with women being happy or indifferent to our suffering is the patriarchy, the patronizing tone you take to the Rae male side of your species you were born from is the patriarchy, your arrogance and blatant ignorance or disregard for women’s feelings and what can come from our anger is the patriarchy. For example feminine rage has killed and yet you don’t can’t grasp how this could lead to change. You devalue women so heavily you see our rage as something to poke fun at and not fear, you embody the patriarchy clearly in just that one comment but like always you feign ignorance of how the power imbalances throughout history effect modern life for women.

From a precipice that I tripped off long ago "You're so pure", he says Does he know, I'm forsaken?

@@empressofdragons18 unfortunately religion is about the worst thing that humans have released on each other. It's done more damage and killed more people than pretty much anything else. Especially when someone thinks that their 'god' is more important than the 3500 or so other gods that have been invented over tens of thousands of years. It's all just a method of control and thankfully more people are starting to be educated to the point that fear is not the guiding factor in their life anymore.

I love just how the video is using carefree motives and colours that scream innocence, and yet you can feel the darkness. It's amazing and just how it captures perfectly this surface - level feeling of happiness and innocence, but there is this unsettling feeling oozing from the video that below this illusion of innocene and hapiness there is this darkness, evil whisper that gets stronger. A masterpiece.

This hits really hard as a feminine bodied person. What got my attention though was that the dancers looked as if they were in the process of being overcome by flora. It reminded me of the Greek myth about the nymph who begged the gods to turn her into a laurel tree to escape Apollo. It's as if the dancers would prefer losing their lives/humanity over the trauma assault brings

I rarely watch music videos because so many are storyless dancing that just doesn’t appeal to me but this, once again, resembles Hozier vibe of otherworldly magic, unapologetically calling the church out while showing what could be if they weren’t in the seat of power.

This is so captivating! The purity and sweetness juxtaposed with the somber, almost ominous quality really draws on the feeling of struggling to break through the confines of the patriarchy and religious oppression. Thank you for creating this brilliant piece of art 💕

The timing for this release couldn't have been better I swear. Amazing song.

We talk about how this represents women from past generations, but this still happens today... My mother lives exactly like this... And I love her so much for doing everything she can to help me avoid her situation, even though she can't even work a job because of all the labour she has to do. It's a full time job.

It's simply one of the best songs I've ever heard, so perfect

I'm late to the party, but I am utterly entranced by this song and video. I had just discovered Labour recently and am firmly now a fan. Your music and the themes of your videos speak directly to my Pagan, traumatized-but-healing soul, and your music will be a firm fixture in my life. ❤

it's giving midsomar in a good way this is beautifull!

Just realized this gives huge Midsommar vibes and I LOVE IT

I first heard her song “labour” now I’m here, her music is breathtaking, the lyrics and the style is so beautiful. wow. I know she’s going to blow up someday.

The symbolism in this is so subtle and good, I really had to comment. At the end, it's the women with other flowers in their hair adding the first white flower to her crown of laurels. An acknowledgement, the sadness and mindlessness to the women's faces when they dance around her, because they know it is something that just keeps going on and on and on. So upsetting.

This song sounds like a response to Hozier's Take Me To Church in my personal humble opinion.

Doing trauma therapy for CSA and SA right now, this song has been my anthem and my comfort

This song has awakened my soul, given me clarity from my religious background. Not everything is at it seems. Absolute genius ❤

This is fully giving me Greek myth Pleiades vibes. Absolutely love this song and it’s power.

I'm obsessed with this song! It's like a subtle waltz that calls for revenge in a sweet tone

I think she sings about Lilith, the very first woman before Eve. Just like Adam, she is made from loam and therefore equal to him. But Adam wanted her to serve him, she refused and fled from the garden of eden. God tried to bring her back with the help of three angels, but Lilith refused. This made god angry and he cursed her. Later when she met Lucifer, he made her into a demon. And ever since Lilith was painted as an evil woman, who eats children and is the godmother of all witches.

I heard your song labor so I was like “let’s try some more of her songs “ I do not regret it. This song is pure gold

Love this so much. The visuals and atmosphere is everything ♥️♥️♥️♥️

There's such a quiet sense of rage and anger in this and I feel it so deeply. A still, whispered fury over a long history of crime and oppression that still marches along today; in the too-clean, polished suburban streets and the white marble halls of hypocrisy. Where they speak of justice like it's a finely wrought blade with a jewel-encrusted pommel, instead of the roughly hewn stone blades and whittled-to-a-deadly-point sticks; they think justice is a delicate system of skewed laws and rules that favors them at every turn, but it is not. Justice is the breaking point of desperation and survival. Justice is the finality of too much, too long and all the horror and bloodshed and toppling of empires that comes after. They mourn the bloodshed of this correcting scale, never understanding that it is merely the fruits of their own labor; the inevitable harvest of all that they have sown for so, so long.

So, I'm a bit late, but this song is so beautiful and I only now found the MV?? Anyway, it's giving me literal shivers, even after months of listening to it! It has a very 'Midsommar' vibe to it and from the dancing I'm getting 'The Rite of Spring' by Strawinsky. I have a feeling I will return to this quite a lot

This was mesmerizing! I was looking forward to seeing what feelings you'll be able to express visually and I was nothing short of amazed, beautiful!

For some reason, this song makes me think about the woman Hozier is singing about in Take Me To Church
