Lyrics:
How i’d kill
to see you again
Love’s a game
I played the fool
I was wasted
on your perfume
Yeah you turned me into a mess
But I must confess
That I’ve never felt so alive
Well that’s a lesson learned
(You showed me love)
No, you taught me how to hurt
Was it worth it? No
Cause now I’m coast to coast alone I roam
searching for solace and comfort
and I don’t know if I can carry on
They called me crazy
and they’re right
I had a multitude of sickly dispositions
you didn’t mind
Instead you taught me how to dance
but not alone
If love is a game
then I only played
to lose
Because empires will rise and fall
like tides and I’ll live through it all
But it won’t mean a thing
without you

helloooooo, I wanna share some details about the video! Firstly, the two halves are ENTIRELY independent productions which I then stitched together! The first half was directed by Jack, and we worked with a talented crew of friends. We shot a bit of it in a studio, but mostly at a graveyard (which we fortunately got council permission for). The second half was recorded by just Jai and I. In fact, the second half was planned, AND shot in only one day. You can see the first shot is at sunrise and the last is at sunset (it's entirely chronological). We drove all around Sydney in a crazy rush to catch every last bit of sun!

[@LordCoffeeFTW]

BRO THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

[@andreeamcpufi3688]

no way! the second half looks so professional. I totally thought that you had a whole crew for the entire mv ! ...To be honest, i really liked the first part, but i absolutely love the second half! (*＾▽＾*)

[@cayyb6516]

AHHH THIS IS SO GOOD

[@annnaaa4337]

What an amazing collaboration of artists and dreamers this was, kudos!

[@claudiabTV]

Yo babe... absolutely unbelievable work! Agreed, literally a MASTERPIECE. Your mixed music styles + signature operatic vocals are a stunning combo, I could have ditched the grave shenanigans + just watched your head solo up top the entire time, but guess it set up your rise for sunrise + sounds like you had fun shooting it. Second half is so Funny + über🆒️ camera moves, too. Hope this vid gets well-deserved massive traction. Clearly livin' in the USA is working for ya, come say hi for a latté by the ocean next time you're in Australia (if you can push thru' the paparazzi following your every move by then lol). I'm so happy for you, what a ☆star! Lotsa love, respect + good vibes... your Bondi sis 4ever, Claudia x ❤

[@D10xTaco]

the 1st half 💀 the 2nd half 🕺🌴

[@gabrielmoreira3453]

The 2nd half: 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@rylenstuffsv2]

I jig with the first half

[@MadamJester]

Thus kind of feels like that moment right before you come out of your deepest grief, but then you start trying to heal again, and life starts becoming warm again.

[@LightLock]

You summed it up perfectly

[@_littleangel_]

EXACTLY !

[@tingledinkle]

That perfectly describes the conflicting emotions that I can’t put to word myself.

[@user-mw5ez3wz2t]

IHH but I!9$*?$!.!*.!it’s h in

[@LANDE33]

Lmao

[@thesnophoria]

This official video definitely does the song justice.. 😌 the way all the different moods are represented in such a contrasting yet related way. It's beautiful!!!!

[@cowboymalfoy]

thank you!! that 's exactly what i was going for

[@gabrielpineda9760]

​@@cowboymalfoythe different moods are just so good

[@JayPixelz]

OMG I love how it turns from Classic Horror to Bossa Nova to straight up Mario Kart vibes 🔥

[@cowboymalfoy]

i do love mario kart...

[@jacksingermusic]

Perfect description

[@rat_cheese_ball_00]

guys this song has a literaly CHOKEHOLD on me i love it sm

[@dylak4560]

🤚🤨📸

[@juanferloayza5261]

The only bad thing about this song is that it is not longer. I love each of the three songs, it would be great if we could get an extended version, or maybe a full version of each.

[@I_Dont_Really_Know_]

What a good idea, with the same concept of directing each half independently by two directors.

[@depressed3826]

​@@I_Dont_Really_Know_ thats an amazing idea its completely unique if this guy makes all his songs 2 different parts it would be great like this one

[@cowboymalfoy]

THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING TO THE PREMIERE!!!! i wish we could have chatted more it cut off way earlier than i expected eep

[@balkanknight4484]

As someone who writes hap hazardly (poetry mostly) this made me feel a shiver, in what felt like, all my bones... I don't comment often, but as I noticed you respond to comments, i felt a need to leave some motivation. The same way you mptivated me to write more!!! This is beautiful, thank you.

[@cowboymalfoy]

never stop writing!! don't put too much pressure on yourself, i think writing hap hazardly is being truest to your thoughts anyways

[@remyoo]

The 'NoouUoo~' at 1:19 gave me CHILLS BRO

[@hayray1616]

You and laufey need to collab fr man.

[@rachelcarvalho4505]

this is not a song, this is an experience that lasts 2:33, and I love it

[@rienavoir8250]

Wow I didn't realise it was only 2.5 minutes long. So much happening!

[@kay_eliza9021]

omg i- it’s gorgeous it’s perfect the song the cinematography the actors everyone looks amazing and omg!!!!! i’m through the roof this is so cool so glad i can be here for this

[@cowboymalfoy]

thanks to the the lovely actors who joined in! and lad you loved it!!

[@laobozu549]

Honestly I need a full version of both of these to listen to according to my current mood. Because like. Phase 1 is perfect for when I feel emo but then phase 2 would cheer me up any other time

[@hanzempaces6707]

Legit!

[@BringMeTheChildren]

'Emo' 😭 😭 😭

[@alishataeyang8440]

i wish this was 5 hours long

[@mintpanda1747]

This sounds like a perfect song for a murder mysteries theme. I can't stop looping it help 😭

[@maurawillis9875]

He is the male version of laufey

[@arlin811]

Yeah , i was listen a laufey playlist and i foud this awesome song ❤

[@chrismerritt1204]

My wife played this song in the car just casually one day and I told her to play the song again and send it to me... The song gave me a goose bumps and I have been playing this song on Spotify on repeat trying to see if I can match your vocals and vibrato. You just wicked talented I'll tell you that for sure.

[@bokuwa_mango5852]

Best mix of Latin and bossa nova jazz I’ve ever heard

[@smile9806]

This is actually sooo good, it's like if they said "oh, let's make a song that includes every music genre I know" and then proceeds to make a great song :') love it

[@jessicamacias57696]

Your vocal range is the work of gods

[@matthewcarabin2677]

Absolutely hooked on this song, gives me a feeling of looping love, realizing that not everything was good or perfect but the grief keeps leading back to the happy memories, and realizing that nothing feels the same without them, as much as that may hurt.

[@KayenCole]

I'm kind of curious what the songwriter thought of while writing this song. The storyline is just so perfect

[@_piss]

1:08 this part is so majestic af that's the part i felt so inlove w the song. I saw the video on insta and hell it's good

[@marianacabeca2076]

Truly beautiful, different moods different feelings all in one single song. Max, you really are special and I hope to be able to enjoy every future project of yours! Really worth the wait!!

[@keago2]

This is one of the most creative and melodically pleasant songs I’ve ever heard, and I’m a very tough critic. I sincerely hope you get the attention and recognition your music deserves :)

[@thegecko2095]

Came here from Cherri

[@ygyyyyhyb]

i feel SO lucky to discover this.

[@jaasielvalbar65]

Omg! I discovered this song in my weekly discovery playlist on Spotify and I cannot be happier! It's awesome!

[@esperanzaguevara8227]

This… this style. The music, the voice, the art. You are into something spectacular here. Keep this ball rolling, you got the sauce.

[@animartist9236]

✨✨✨ Dude imagine this song @ the end of a movie, the first dead part of the song representing the end of the movie (like imagine a resurrection scene or the characters found a missing note that will be useful to them in the next movie or there’s an implication that the main character’s missing lover died or something) [just a very dramatic, little to no talking scene] and then it rolls the clip sound and then shoots straight to the credits “well that’s a lesson learned” 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I would watch it, that would be such an amazing transition

[@chatpol117]

Where am I last year ago, to miss a wonderful song like this. I'm falling in love with your song now.

[@Yoursweetgrammy]

This song randomly came up on my fyp and I’m so glad it did, it’s so unique and explores different feelings and different settings reflecting alternating mentalities.

[@emilyjones9787]

I remember when this was first making the rounds on tiktok and my heart shattering everytime I'd remember it was only the intro. This is BEAUTIFUL

[@potatop172]

I edge to this song on a spiritual level

[@depressed3826]

Im fucking choking on water reading your comment 😂😂😂

[@chileanyways_urtrash]

I STILL GET TEARS IN MY EYES AT THE BEGINNING!! The music video is such a vibe though :D

[@cyberfailing]

I need a full version of the first half so badddd

[@LetsPlayGeometryDash]

This song it's just PERFECT! 💖 I love your sweet voice and RIDICULOUSLY GOOD melody changes. Lyrics are creative, beautiful and honest. You are one of the best artists I've ever heard! Keep working 💪💪

[@amenotani]

I found you randomly through Spotify and my god do I feel like I stumbled upon a treasure. Love the sound, the aesthetic, your voice! Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱

[@tangerinefalcon]

dear god the “nooOOOoo” sends me to outer space

[@brenna2138]

I just want to say that I think this is shockingly beautiful and that it perfectly captures what music should be - storytelling art. I wish more people could see this, I really think it would be amazingly popular because it's just so charming.

[@Test_Tube_Boi]

This is a compositional masterpiece.

[@HuskySam-ur9fr]

I love this song because it feels like a person working out feeling from a relationship past or future getting into another relationship.

[@hiddenone-111]

actual perfection. i cant believe how underrated cowboy malfoy is and all the songs released, rockabye has been all i hear in my head for a week. This song is a masterpiece that deserves so much more recognition, as does all the other cowboy malfoy songs out there. great job on the video!

[@tableofteaspoons]

this has the vibe of an original prose poetry.. dont know how to like, explain this, but a common theme is murder, and the notes that drag just sound SO GOOD and fit that vibe

[@Zendarolin]

This scratches all the itches in my brain

[@kerrymercury6583]

discovered this song by accident. for a metal head. I'm loving this too much.

[@whotfareyou152]

The male version of Laufey!!!

[@ankicat]

found this on instagram and now i've played it in the car and showed this to my girlfriend. currently listening to it right now. this is seriously a piece of art from the cinematography to the lyrics and the vocals. it's so perfect!

[@Alguienenunlado]

I remember way back in covid years when you made a tiktok audio and you asked "Should i make this a song?". I was so obsessed with your audio and was hoping you'd make an official song of it!!! Im so happy to see this unfold!

[@Dexobite]

Oh I can’t get over this song it’s so beautiful

[@Grace-bv4ri]

I’m so obsessed with this. The sections of the songs match the video perfectly.

[@castoxity]

man ive probably streamed this song on spotify way too many times, i was expecting the yt vid to have atlast 5 mil, im mad at how underrated it is

[@svt-energyskincare5188]

i have been listening to this song on repeat for 2 weeks, can't wait to hear more from you!

[@toadfrend3490]

I cannot stop thinking about this song, and the music video for it. It’s amazing how well the contrasting film styles work together to tell a story. I look forward to seeing what you create in the future!

[@nismasdiary]

The beginning hits you so harddd

[@b4ckup2024]

this needs more recognition; i've had this song on loop for 2 hours now it's like ear candy for me bro 😭😭

[@EthanShepherdMusic]

I love this song and singing it to people, its so fun! The many different different styles and dynamic, lyrics and difficulty, shows your attention to detail. Bravo to everyone involved

[@Dev911helpme]

[@rahulchoudhry417]

The song is Breathtaking Max…you’re Breathtaking.

[@howlsfilthycastle]

been listening to this on repeat and i dont think im going to get tried of it, like ever

[@f.megawati]

im so obsessed with this song and video i can't stop coming back to it..... love it so damn much

[@kazuhascatto]

I've been streaming this non-stop on spotify. I wanted to see the wonderful mv again, and after months, I just realized this channel has so little views. It should be illegal to not watch this masterpiece. You deserve the world for your art. Never ever stop making music. As much as I would like to gatekeep you, I won't because you deserve so much recognition and so much love

[@ex0lc488]

[@sleepyyghostt]

clicked on this vid in my recommended bc i found the name cowboy malfoy amusing, but quickly got this sudden inexplicable sense that you were from sydney- which later shots of locations ive been to before confirmed, how the hell did i know that??? dfjkg just sitting here a little baffled. like a bizzare gut feeling that i'd walked past you on the street or something before- who knows. really great music though! i loved it! and i love the cinematography esp that first shot so nice

[@audrey9129]

i don’t think i’ve ever loved a music video more
