"Space Cowboy", from Kacey Musgraves' critically acclaimed album Golden Hour, is already considered one of the year's best country songs. Now the singer has released a new video to match the song's somber yet hopeful lyrics.
Filmed in Mexico City and directed by Courtney Phillips, the video features Musgraves spending time alone in a shadowy house. We see glimpses of her partner strolling in and out, as well as an intense argument between the couple before the soon-to-be former flame rides out of town as a watercolor grey sky casts over him. By the end, the darkness surrounding Musgraves gives way to a beam of sunlight, symbolizing the freedom and hope in letting go of a doomed relationship.
