" 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.
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 😍
You’ve so made me realize who I am. That I was just trying to be someone I wasn’t. But this is who i am. Thank you Maya. Your music has showed me that love doesn’t always have to be the way it is in the movies. You’ve taught me that love doesn’t always have to be with girls and boys. Thank you. ❤️
" 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.
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
Nico yeah Disney was very adamant that they didn’t want her. But it’s for the better, every live action Disney remake has been absolute dogshit so far. I don’t want Maya associated.
Everytime I can’t sleep, i have anxiety, just had a bad grade, or people laughing at me. I go somewhere alone and i just listen to this song! You’re voice brings me so much peace and it makes me calm!!❤️❤️ I love you Maya!❤️❤️
am I the only one who is crying?? i just found her music and even when she regularly speaks I love her voice, but when she sings? its possibly the most beautiful thing ive ever heard. god i'm so gay
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.
I can't explain, the way I love this song, it hurts me, it heals me. I just can't do it completely. Since the first time I listened to this song, my heart just, I don't know. I always cry while I listen to it...
this song is unexpectedly sweet and cool! i love your voice and your universe, i hope you will sing more, because your voice is so pure and unique, good luck for the rest!
This speaks to me, the lyrics are so lovely and refreshing, it really makes me think of the ocean and my beloved. Plus the video is awesome, hilarious, cute and artistic.
I loved this, it seriously gives me very early MTV vibes and that's hard to pull off nowadays without it feeling overdone, but this was really cool and the fact that Maya put in her own money for this really makes me respect more than I already did.
she has such a unique beauty it brings me so much joy when I see her on screen cause is like everyone else looks the same and then Maya comes and she’s gorgeous in like a really unique way (plus she’s so talented and seems like a nice person)
Maya your voice is like something i can't explain.So pure,beautiful,charming but expecially true.Just keep going to do new songs cause everyone needs to hear it:)
Love the concept and all of the metaphors surrounding what it's like to be a fish, or in this case, a mermaid, out of water. It's like finding true love is really the mythical notion here, not the existence of the creature. Impressive song and video debut, can't wait to see what will follow. Good job, Maya!
I've been searching for Maya's music since her dad talked about her being a songwriter, but I couldn't find a single thing. Now, this is here, and it's beautiful.
This feels like a Nostalgia Late 90s MTV Music Video and I’m loving it.
Dudebros are Broflakes I am totally feeling the vibe too!

wowwwwwwww I didn’t even know it was her singing this until I looked at the channel, I’m suprised
woah this info makes the video 943858475x cooler
I literally just said this music video reminded me of the year 2000. Glad we agree.
There’s so many music videos like this man, I’m glad it’s made a return because these low quality unprofessional videos really do set the aesthetic.
"I spent all of my money" Wow.. So this costed like.... A billion or something? Shes the daughter of Uma Thurman lol
What an incredible year this young lady is having. Stranger Things, Tarantino, and now a gift in music. Maya Hawke, we’re proud of you.

Oh you smart smart
Tammy Thomson is watching this wishing she noticed Robin.
Bi And ready to cry but she is taking about a boy
Giulia. your point?????
Giulia. Yeah what’s your point ?
“i’ll never love a boy the way i love the ocean” ☹️
this song reminds me of the past time,simple melody,simple lyrics.
The simpler the song, the more the essence of the saved music.
its official, Maya hawke is not only a talented actress but also a talented singer. 🥺
This reminds me of Lana Del Rey’s videos before she got signed to a big record deal. This song is sweet, reminds me of something I’ve heard before
I Don't Know Elisa it kinda reminds me of mariners apartment complex
mermaid motel
The skinny dip at the end of the song...I wasn’t prepared.
Ezra May 😂 same
Have her face overlayed to obscure her ass and it feels like judging me for looking hard too lmfaooo

You’ve so made me realize who I am. That I was just trying to be someone I wasn’t. But this is who i am. Thank you Maya. Your music has showed me that love doesn’t always have to be the way it is in the movies. You’ve taught me that love doesn’t always have to be with girls and boys. Thank you. ❤️
I want to love a girl the way I love Maya Hawke
this makes me feel like I’m floating. her voice is so marvelous 💛
her voice reminds me of feist
This is so early 2000s and I LOVE IT
This should be on the Steven universe sound track I feel so floaty and dreamy when I listen to her voice it’s so pretty
YESSS
as soon as i heard the song i thought of steven universe!!

"I want to love a boy, the way I love the ocean."
And I'm instantly a fan.
Here for Fred😭
I LOVE HER VOICE
As soon as she started singing my heart fluttered, she’s so good
gosh i miss this era of maya hawke :(( happy 26th maya

I love that she was standing next to Pulp Fiction posters.
this is such a comphet song even tho i don't think it was her intention when she made it. anyway, crying to this tune a lot
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
The lyrics are quite brief and straightforward but the way she delivers it is so moving.
fred looks so good
Fun fact: Maya almost played Ariel in live action The little Mermaid, with Sophia Coppola directing.
): I would have love that! That makes me feel sadder.
Nico yeah Disney was very adamant that they didn’t want her. But it’s for the better, every live action Disney remake has been absolute dogshit so far. I don’t want Maya associated.
@@teddypattinson5772 True
It’s not a “fun” fact because she didn’t get the roll.
that sounds like my dream film, too good to be true
i definitely can relate to the implications
The ocean is not just water. The sky is more than air. Words are not just instructions.
Everytime I can’t sleep, i have anxiety, just had a bad grade, or people laughing at me. I go somewhere alone and i just listen to this song! You’re voice brings me so much peace and it makes me calm!!❤️❤️ I love you Maya!❤️❤️
i love how her and fred are here together and a few years later they both star in an amazing movie
Who knew Heather and Simon were buds outside of Shadyside
from the start of the video I was like "wait why is Simon in here I thought he died" LMAO
am I the only one who is crying?? i just found her music and even when she regularly speaks I love her voice, but when she sings? its possibly the most beautiful thing ive ever heard. god i'm so gay
This song makes me so unbelievably happy it’s insane, I truly adore Maya’s voice so much
She did little women as a teenager, she smashed stranger things and now all this music and performing and videos are online and I'm like, HOW
This song and her vocals remind me so much of Norah Jones in her early days, so calming and sweet
she has such an angelic voice omg
god her voice is so angelic. I SO hope her and joe keery collab!
I love Maya’s voice so much
your voice is so soothing and calming, i love it so much. this is gorgeous, please keep making music 💖
A singer, an actor, and a beautiful amazing person.
Maya Hawke, you have it all.
The lyrics are so beautiful and then mix it with her voice and you have perfection❤️❤️
I’ve never heard this song before but it gives me so much nostalgia
This is really sweet. Love the vocals, lyrics and the sound
I LOVE FRED SO MUCH ITS INSANE
The end is everything i need
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.
I love the simplicity of it all. Looking forward to more of Maya's work!!
Why is this so funny but serious at the same time
MAYA YOU ARE SO PRETTY YOUR MUSIC IS SO PERFECT LIKE YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL
I've never heard such a beautiful voice. You have great potential. It is magical. Good luck Maya Hawke 👏👏💗
This director Tess Lafia is soooo talented. I love her sensibility.
I can't explain, the way I love this song, it hurts me, it heals me. I just can't do it completely. Since the first time I listened to this song, my heart just, I don't know. I always cry while I listen to it...
This is such a beautiful song, thank you for sharing this message with the world 🌈
I can't explain how much I love this song
Wow, she can sing really well, she's a talented actress, and she's beautiful

This speaks to me, the lyrics are so lovely and refreshing, it really makes me think of the ocean and my beloved. Plus the video is awesome, hilarious, cute and artistic.
i love all her music but this song will forever be my favorite 💕 i always sing it when i go to the beach and it just feels so dreamy
why did this video cloud my mind so much. I feel like I didn't comprehend anything I just watched, yet I loved it.
Happy birthday Maya🥰💞
this is so beautiful on so many levels, proud of u Maya!
I'm officially obsessed with this song. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️💜💜💜💜💜

Everybody respect her parents,.. and this girl is a gift too. Amazing

Maya is quickly becoming a national treasure.

Maya is so underrated its criminal
Still shook that she's Uma Thurman's and Ethan Hawke's daughter, with those genes it's impossible for her to be anything less than a SLAYING QUEEN 😍😍😍
ive been listening to this song for so long not knowing that she was the one singing it
ily maya oml how is no one finding this channel I L Y SM ur my fav person in the whole world ly💞
she has the prettiest voice
