Are addictions healthy? Is it possible to just have addictive behavior?
This man made me wonder all these questions.
Orville Peck 😛
Shocker I know, but he’s a country music artist. I never thought I would find myself in this genre at all. No offense to any country lovers out there, but the communities it draws in aren’t always the best…but then my brother tells me I just HAVE to hear this new person he found. I barely agree until the song starts.
I could sit here and try and type out how smooth and enchanting his voice is, but that just wouldn’t do any justice to him.
On the initial listen, his voice is deep and instantly transports me to this rodeo fantasy moment, and I’m just riding with the bulls. All the while, Orville is serenading me before he comes to rescue me because I didn’t realize I couldn’t wear red while riding the bulls and I’ve been trampled. He doesn’t stop singing while running towards me and shooing the bulls away like they’re just flies on a piece of juicy watermelon on a park bench in summer. Then, through swollen eyes and a broken wrist I try and reach out to him. He hands me a rose, and I don’t even care the thorns pierce into my hand. He picks me up (still singing) and then next thing the hospital machine is beeping. There’s a note that says O.P. and a phone number. I turn to look out the hospital window and see a masked man riding a horse away. What he doesn’t realize is that I went into shock and on the verge of death I lost any memory of him. That way I get to experience him for the first time all over again.
That’s how it felt when I heard Orville the first time. I was totally blown away. Head over heeled boots. Once learning more about him everything just made sense, and made me even more interested.
- Ever since his debut in 2019 he still hasn’t publicly shown his face. He always wears a mask that covers his eyes and fringe that dangles over his lower face. It’s so freaking mysterious. I get flutters when the dangles move and you can see a jaw or a lip. You just never see it coming…LIKE THIS!
- He’s gay. Yes, folks! We have another secured! Orville is openly gay and we’re all here for it! It was actually him that made me and my brother realize there is an entire gay rodeo association which…who wouldn’t to go to a gay rodeo??
- Orville is from Canada. This was just shocking because like, excuse me if I’m just not getting something here, but he has like the Southern American accent. He’s from Canada though. Do they have a South that talks like American south too? Or do we talk like their South?…
- Orville loves drag queens. I think that’s so cool because…same! He even did a whole music video and it follows a queen going through a pageant rodeo. It’s just everything and has one of my favorite songs of his in it, “Roses are Falling.”
I have just become completely consumed with his essence. I love the artistic expression through the mask. He is just too cute for his own good! I found immense pleasure in finding out about him, and I hope maybe you can too. I’ll even throw in another video or two for ya. 😉 Be wild, be free, and have fun ♥
