After their catchy but subliminally unsettling first video single Feel It and the unapologetically cocky video for They Call Me The Devil, MARFA MOTEL celebrate their album release with another visually stunning performance video for their gut-wrenching track How Much It Hurts today:

Lyrics
You know how, You know how much this hurts
You know how, You know how much this hurts
You're leaving me out
Thought you had it all made up in your mind there was no doubt
You got me ill now, got me ill now you got me aching for your heart
But baby find yourself first, find yourself now
Because you've been running all along
And I hope that you don't mind
I really hope that you don't mind
Yeah I hope that you don't mind
Oh I hope that you don't mind
You know how, You know how
How much this hurts, how much this hurts
You know how, You know how
How much this hurts, how much this hurts
Away now, away now with this aching inside my soul
I want you gone now
Want you gone now
Baby, please come on back home
And I hope that you don't mind
I really hope that you don't mind
Yeah I hope that you don't mind
Oh I hope that you don't mind
Oh is this love that I'm feeling
She's to hot for this season
The way she's walking in them heels and
She's making me believe it
Now she's to cold to be fire
She's just what I desire
She's just what I admire
She's just what I admire
You know how, You know how
How much this hurts, how much this hurts
You know how, You know how
How much this hurts, how much this hurts
Oh is this love that I'm feeling
She's to hot for this season
The way she's walking in them heels and
She's making me believe it
Now she's to cold to be fire
She's just what I desire
She's just what I admire
She's just what I admire

To translate this story visually, the band worked with filmmaker Mirko Witzki at Witzki Visions. Chess remembers that “I wanted to combine a more popular kind of performance with a real back to the rock roots one to build a bridge between these two styles. I felt like I needed a huge room in this video to have the emptiness I felt in my heart and soul stand out when that woman an I waved goodbye. And even though the colors give off a cold vibe, the visuals are so alive because they’re full of truly-felt emotions.”

About Marfa Motel
MARFA MOTEL’s wild guitar riffs, insanely tight rhythm sections, and raw human emotion offer "a lot of stuff to wrap your head and heart around,“ Taylor Chess comments.
For more than two decades, MARFA MOTEL’s Taylor Chess has been seasoning his brand of ravishing rock music with an eclectic mix of sonic and visual influences. Since their debut EP Inside Out in 2019, MARFA MOTEL have evolved from a rock band heavily influenced by skate punk into truly uncharted territory:
With 2021’s stand-alone Give Me Fire, MARFA MOTEL established themselves as the contemporary incarnation of the Rock’n’Roll gods living on Mount Bling, with the ability to make you sweat profusely one second and stare deep into your soul the next. Their visceral songwriting is fueled by raw, uncensored lyrics, thick and warm rock’n’roll riffs, and energetic straightforward drumming.
The band has released two EPs and one stand-alone single since their inception in 2019. WILD LIFE STRANGERS, including stand-alone singles Give Me Fire, Feel It, recent They Call Me The Devil and the most recent celebratory release of How Much It Hurts, was recorded by Markus Born, Dirk André and Jakob Morschewski at AZF studios, mixed by Tobias Schirmann, and mastered by Howie Weinberg in Los Angeles. The artwork was made by Kamil Wilde at Heart Taped Designs. Each of the singles’ electrifyingly vibrant videos was created by Mirko Witzki at Witzki Visions.
