" I’m a professional actor, but I’m not a professional musician, so I wanted to do the whole thing really not professionally. So I spent all my own money to make the video and I had to rent the mermaid costume, which ended up being incredibly shitty, but in a way that I think is really funny. (Maya's interview with pitchfork)" I love the whole on-a-low-budget feel the MV has. It reminds me of those early 2000s bands who had amazing music but had no record label who would release this self-made music videos. It adds to the nostalgia To Love a Boy already has, and it makes it feel more personal than it already is. I love this song way too much. So jealous, it looked like so much fun filming and i love all the involvement Maya and her friends had in this MV.

[@rakuinn26]

You can see Maya's personality shining through the whole video. She's bubbly, creative and can have a goofy sense of humour too! She explores the idea of naivity of love through her mermaid persona. She is left alone in the "real world" to explore and she is confused and curious and scared and amazed. the real world is loud and confusing. So by the end of the video she comes back to the beach and strips her mermaid persona and goes back to the ocean. I take it the city is a metaphor for love (or the idea we have of it 'cause it can be simple and messy, scary and thrilling), the mermaid is her naivity before falling in love which is why she goes back to the calm and peaceful ocean as a human and not a mermaid. She loves the ocean, she is more mature now yet she wants to recover her naivity. Aesthetically is far from perfect, but the concept is there and she delivers her message. It's a cute video imo, I liked it a lot ❤️ I love Maya, she's so talented and has such a lovely voice 😍

To Love a Boy Maya Hawke TO LOVE A BOY LYRICS [Verse 1] I want to love a boy The way I love the ocean Wish I was not afraid Of all I have that's broken I know I must behave To contain all my emotion But I want to love a boy The way I love the ocean [Verse 2] Like a hidden cave I am always open I hold the space you made I'm empty but still hoping I have a feeling A terrible fear encroaching That' I'll never love a boy The way Iove the ocean [Verse 3] I ask why It's better to speak than it is to die One more try It's better to laugh than it is to lie I thought I had a man Someone who could hold me But nobody can I wish someone had told me I was born yesterday And I'm still wet, still soaking And I want to love a boy The way I love the ocean The way I love the ocean The way I love the ocean

[@eruditewitcheverdeen]

The lyrics are quite brief and straightforward but the way she delivers it is so moving.

[@dannyalc4556]

" I was just filled with this intense jealousy and desire be in love and feel that way. (Maya after watching CMBYN)" This is exactly how i felt after watching CMBYN, wanting to overwhelmed by someone else in an all consuming way. Too bad we'll can't just be mermaids loved by the ocean.

Fun fact: Maya almost played Ariel in live action The little Mermaid, with Sophia Coppola directing.

[@adrianascime9130]

[Verse 1] I want to love a boy
The way I love the ocean
Wish I was not afraid
Of all I have that's broken
I know I must behave
To contain all my emotion

But I want to love a boy
The way I love the ocean

[Verse 2]
Like a hidden cave
I am always open
I hold the space you made
I'm empty but still hoping
I have a feeling
A terrible fear encroaching

That' I'll never love a boy
The way Iove the ocean

[Verse 3]
I ask why
It's better to speak than it is to die
One more try
It's better to laugh than it is to lie
I thought I had a man
Someone who could hold me
But nobody can
I wish someone had told me
I was born yesterday
And I'm still wet, still soaking
And I want to love a boy
The way I love the ocean

The way I love the ocean
The way I love the ocean

Maya and I are on the exact same page. I went through all the lyrics of her songs. And I think I understand how she feels. There are some songs which I can relate to so much. Loving someone from distance, wishing on, then fighting with own fears, preferring dreams over reality everything she has written in the lyrics. Thank you so much for these songs, Maya.
