Orville Peck - No Glory in the West (Official Video) 

always lead with kindness, even if you don't know where you're headed. lovely things will follow

Red Peck Redemption

It took me some time to recognize what this song meant. The older I get the more I feel it. The cowboy traveling through his adventure only to come to a hollow empty home. A lot of us are feeling this way. We try so hard to get there, wherever it is. We think it will fix our problems. We think it will make everything better. But the joy in life comes from the journey. We love in a world that will most likely disappoint us. And it's hard and lonely yet we wander away.

This is giving me high Johnny Cash vibes and I’m HERE for it.

As a straight man, i have no shame loving this man. Straight tugging at my heartstrings. I would go to war for this gay lamp.

The song and video are pure art but I'm here to talk about how adorable it was when he waved to his horse when he was by the lake.

Still my favourite song of yours Orville, Let Me Drown close 2nd. Perfect echo of melancholy & contempt. So beautiful ❤

its like he's rehearsing all these bombastic stories to tell someone and then they're gone :( ...and maybe the stories aren't even true, because "there's no glory in the west," and it's just him, alone the whole journey, talking to his horse

His voice is like being spooned by a big muscleman who smells like whiskey and a camp fire and all he want is to make you feel safe

Yesterday was the first time I've heard this song. My gosh, it is so good that I felt like it hit me somewhere in my soul. What a talented singer Orville Peck is. I am very glad that this music exists. This is my new favorite song.

Oh. You sing country AND western music both? ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎 Amazing. This song exemplifies exactly what’s wrong with entertainment from Hollyweird to Nashvegas: we have to dig deep to find the real talent out here. If music and movies were “fair” this song would win Best Original Song at the Oscars, Mr. Peck’s arms would be overloaded with awards at the next CMA’s, and if I wanted to see him perform live I wouldn’t have to do a 5 day cruise outta Miami-I can’t cruise anymore-too old. Anyway…you’re amazing, #OrvillePeck I can’t wait for my husband to come home from work so I can let him listen to you. He’s gonna love your music, too. We will celebrate Valoween 2024 kitchen dancing to your music! Thank you.

This guy is awesome!!!! Who cares what he chooses to do in HIS life! Anyone starts shit with Oroville, starts shit with me! ✊✊✊✊ got your back hos!

This reminds me of my favorite Chekhov short story. An old cabbie's son died and he tries to talk about it with his passengers and passers-by, but no one listens. Finally he breaks down and tells everything to his horse. Like Orville here, riding through the wilderness, talking and singing to his horse because there's no one else.

ANOTHER BANGER FOR THE COWFOLK AND THE GAYS IT NEVER ENDS

I've been trying to figure out what makes Orville's music so special, and I think it's because every song of his sounds like a classic. They're songs I've somehow known and loved before, songs that will be remembered decades from now, even when I'm hearing them for the first time. I've never experienced this with any other artist.

Our king, tattooed and tasseled, bathed in gold and grey on the back of a shaggy brown pony, sings us songs of the dying old and sparkling new against the backdrop of a tumultuous, freezing world.

This is the perfect combination of philosophy, song craft and cinematics.

I'm a cowboy and I'm straight as fuck and I love this shit I love the fact that hes making music for everyone straight or gay

Gonna rent a theater and watch this on the big screen and cry all by myself in the seats

Who dislikes; weak. Listen to this man. If this id new wave music its the best...no, there aint no glory in the west...just the last men. Love the fire Dance!

I really believe these are some of the best lyrics Orville's ever written. And such a vulnerable vocal performance... it reminds me of Johnny Cash's last days, but at the same time is distinctly Orville. There is such a profound loneliness to this song. It's absolutely incredible.

“I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” - J.B. Books

When all this quarantine stuff is over, I'm gonna book a ticket to one of Orville's show And if I get the chance to meet him, I wanna hug him as hard as i can and cry. This man single handedly changed my perception of country music and I respect that. No one has ever had that effect on me before. He's just so amazing.

Growing up gay and trans in the Appalachias I used to hate country. But hearing your music feels like a lonely but sweet coming home. It makes me believe I don't have to hate that side of myself. I can love it and who I am.

This looks straight out of a video game cinematic

Well this is a new kink

I have seriously not ever in my life been as blown away by someone since Siouxsie Sioux!

That is some serious social distancing

I want an Orville Peck and Lord Huron mashup.

He is just so cool and mysterious but at the same time so goofy

those are some glorious canadian ass rockies. maybe a tiny bit of glory

holy shit that first “nowhere left to go/going’s all we know feels like my soul is being hugged

Living out an intense internal life and telling stories to no one, waiting for the chance to perform this perfect narrative you’ve been preparing for when you finally have someone to talk to, waiting and thinking and being stuck inside your head... and then finding that you’re still alone... I shouldn’t be surprised that others can relate but damn it always hits me hard when that feeling gets portrayed.

Wasnt givin a penny until I heard ur voice. Tought country was dead but you sir is resurrection itself

anybody who enjoys the cinematography in this video should watch The Revenant (2015) and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), the latter being my favorite film of all time. almost every shot here is clearly inspired by one or both of those films, and some shots are direct odes.

You made me love country. ❤️

Orville is the king of cinematography

LORDY he is one purdy man....

Saw Mr Peck tonite at Massey Hall in Toronto, there was plenty of glory in Massey Hall tonite ....

Somber, touching, simple and sincere. What else is there really to say... One of my favourites by Orville!

As a little gay boy out in bumfuck who always felt disenfeanchised by country music. I love seeing an openly gay man becoming successful trailing a path forward

Orville Peck should be bigger than Star Wars by now.

They say Paris is dead Lived through London and drank through Memphis The things you live by were once just a guess And there ain't no glory in the west No there ain't no glory in the west Hard to think on your feet Tired of begging them just to compete Shoot to win can feel so bittersweet But you take what you can get 'Cause there ain't no glory in the west Blazin' on ahead, burning through it Coming down the bend Nowhere left to go, goin's all we know Ridin' past the best And there's still no rest And there's still no rest There ain't no glory in the west What's a boy to do? Hit the road with a dollar or two Haunted by what he knows he can't do Gets it off his chest 'Cause there ain't no glory in the west Burnin' on ahead, blazing through it Running blind again Nowhere left to go, goin's all we know Ridin' past the best And there's still no rest And there's still no rest And there's still no rest There ain't no glory in the west Count your blessings they'll say And after each midnight begins a new day But don't place your bets on a word that they say They'll put your life to rest 'Cause there ain't no glory in the west No there ain't no glory in the west There ain't no glory in the west

My little brother (9 years old) might be the biggest Orville Peck fan. When he found out about the release date he ran around the house dancing and screaming. We watch the video the minute it dropped and he literally started crying and sang every word.

The Revenant 2 is looking pretty cool.

I love it! I don't assume to interpret art properly, but it makes me think of a cowboy doing everything he can to make it home to someone or something only to find the house empty and cold. But who is he coming back to? Family? A lover? An entire settlement abandoned? Intriguing.

'Haunted by what he knows he can't do...'

I don't give a shit what any of my friends say, this man makes better music than 98 percent of what you hear on country radio nowadays.

If Johnny cash, morissey and a unicorn made a baby and that baby grew up to make a baby with a French model, that 2nd baby would be Orville 🖤

We are now in the Orville Cinematic Universe

Scale of voice Orville Peck holds his breath.

I won't claim to interpret it truthfully, but only what it made me feel. It was about choosing a path for yourself, however lonely may it be, a path that will one day end, and there might not even be glory await at the end, but despite all this, this is the path you choose, and for a moments of riding along this path, you are happy, and that's all that matters. I'm a person who cry very easily but this made me feel such beautiful thing that I can not cry at that. It is a good feeling, it is comforting, somehow. This song is as beautiful as the time I heard it live back in Brisbane, Australia

My guilty pleasure! I want him to sing to me and only me for eternity!

WITH EVERY SONG HE RELEASES HE GET BETTER AND BETTER

I grew up on country music and grew to hate it. Orville Peck is the only country artist I can stand now a days. Im so glad Brad Leone showed me him.

Been spending this quarantine trying to get my whole family into your music. It's working. 😏 It's an Orville house now.

ORVILLE PECK IS MY ONE TRUE FATHER YOUR MUSIC IS EVERYTHING I NEED IT FOREVER BRO

Orville has the most gorgeous vibrato.

I really like that this song works on multiple levels. Like he could be talking about the Americans west or he could be talking about occidentalism and western society as a whole

Orville Peck sounds like a bit like Elvis and Johnny Cash. I like his voice! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This so perfectly captures the essence of media about the end of cowboys and the wild west era as time moved on and technology progressed until they could no longer live the glory days life style that cowboys came to represent. From the long journey on horse to coming home to an empty farm house, where the family you once knew has moved on to the big city and left that life behind. Those days may be in the pass but music like this keeps the essence of the wild west alive

Yukon territory!

I cannot die without seeing him live at least ONCE in my life

This is a postcard from a country called Pain. He writes to say: “wish you were here”. It’s harsh there, you can even hear the blackheart wind, but the scenery is lush and beautiful, despite all the thorns. He writes to us all, us here in the country called The Wasteland.

You sure know how to pull at my heart fringe, Pa'dner.

There Ain't No Glory In Hate ! ✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼 #UnconditionalLove

kinda want to ride my horse in red dead redemption listening to this on repeat

Gay Canadian cowboy rep. This is like listening to classic country, but being comforted by the sweet video.

Openly Obsessed with Orville over here ❤️

2000-2010s is really the era of sad cowboys, between this, red dead and brokeback mountain, not to mention all the western inspired media like logan

"Nowhere left to go / Going's all we know" ~ Love that That little part took me by surprise and made me cry for some reason

TJ brought me here. There might not be any glory in the West, but there certainly is here.

I like when he waves at the horse :)

Canada bekons thee GOOD SIR! Deffinitly KINGSTON OR OTTAWA, But I'd happily nomad myself to MONTREAL OR TORONTO, heck even my birth town EDMONTON, or nearby CALGARY Many of your songs have helped me through some incredibly dark times, I won't get into too much of the variety of details that caused the numerous black clouds, which seem to stalk me as of late. Although i will share the one this song specifically has helped me keep on going, despite caregiver burn out and heavy depression. I had been the primary caregiver for both my parents until covid restricted the hell out of their isolated community. At this point, I've also become their power of attourney. When my father retired from CND Military, they moved north in Ontario. Nice rural area, deer, wild turkey, hawks, porqupine ect regularly visiting their yard for my dads feedings, he used to hunt and trap pest animals and volunteered his non military time as a deputy conservation officer, in C.F.B Wainwright Alberta and C.F.B. Borden Ont. to catch poachers. His isolated retirement choice was stunning for living off the land and fully feeling a part of nature. (The nearest village 700 people in and around) All the personal support workers and nurses who came regularly to the house helped me try to keep them home as long as possible but their health got so bad my fathers doctor talked them into trying an independant care home in the nearest town with hospital. He was an older soldier, yet a true gentleman. When covid started peaking out, they were preparing for the indepent living center, auctioned almost everything, including car, snowmobiles, polaris side by side vehicle, freezer, furniture, etc. (except my 22 lever action rifle that he taught me to shoot with) My estranged brother was gone from their lives for over 20 years and is an abusive and neglectful older brother. He showed up like vultures do and talked mom into staying for the winter, even though he has no experience paying bills, cannot drive, never has had a job, no even welfare so bad person to give access to their line of credit and bank cards. He didn't even try to help them, only himself. My father then chose to attempt to stay out of worry for my mothers safety and well-being. Brother faked getting them grocceries so neighbours might drive him to the village (liquor stores across from groccers) and was misappropriating over $300 every 3 days on brandy, champagne ect. He began trashing an immaculate house, stealing family heirlooms and belongings that were not his. Elder abuse both physical and mental. Sadly, I had to accept moms and dads choices as adults. All i could do was sit and wait, sick with anxiety. This is when your music, and especially this song, became a major healer and helped more than words can say. I was working on peer support and outreach work with a local harm reduction clinic in my city, an hour train ride from their nearest station, then hour to hour n half $100+ cab from train. Right away, i kept getting calls from the nurses and PSWs who go in the home to shower them and things about the abuse and neglect, etc. (Bless those women and men for putting their jobs at risk by keeping me informed, though the local police took their concerns like jokes) Dads doctor put him into an emergency hospital bed and refused to let him return home after approximately 5 months of the crap treatment and after almost daily ambulance visits. Those 5 months were destroying me, knowing what was occurring, yet being unable to do anything to help them into a safe place. My brother tried putting a "Do Not Resuscitate" order on dad against his will and was overdosing mom on oxygene so she seemed like she had dementia By Oct 2020, the hospital got the skeleton that once was my hero, my dad, into a care home. My brother stopped answering the phone or letting mom. Your music reminded me that at least dad was safe and to just focus on him. He's done so many U.N. peacekeeper deployments, dealt with genocide, and deserved what little glory i could give him considering covid restrictions. By the upcoming rememberance day that year, no one at the house was answering or returning his or my calls asking to have his medals, formal blazer, and beret brought to him for the care home veterans event. I was livid, as that has been a special day for he and I to attend a ceremony in the town that my grandfather, who was killed in WW2, is from, although his body was MIA. To dad and I, it's more important than any other holiday or event in the year. I refused to let him go without his well-earned pride and glory on such a special day. I grabbed your music onto my phone and hopped the late earliest train on the 10th, took the cab to house, not knowing if mom was alive, and what level of drunken rage or aggressive brother would be there. Got out my keys, went straight to dads army stash, and grabbed it all. Stayed the night in his hunting/trapping cabin ironing, polishing boots and medals, & and getting each item perfected. I am proud to say he was beaming with pride when nurses from all the different wards and administrators were taping his full history as it was read out. Many residents thanked him for his service. Your song helped me give him glory that he truly deserved the one last time. By the next year, his mind was a bit too gone to know it was remembrance day, but the drum major in him recognized the pipebands, and the drum major in him tapped along to the snares. He passed peacefully on Oct 22nd this year, and yet again, this song empowered me to give him the send-off and honorable wake he always wanted. I was able to get a detailed and unredacted copy of his full military history from 1959s enlistment until retirement in 1996. I brought in his drum major mace and pace sticks, which are displayed in a custom-made shelf with deactivated bomb shells. It was made by the men he trained and worked with while a royal electrical mechanical engineer, and it is beyond unique. We displayed countless items from his career as a soldier, conservation officer, search and rescue volunteer, and an outdoor sportsman raised to treat nature as a mother, in true aboriginal nature. Numerous people, military, civilian, and the heads of our local legion branch attended. Everone agreed that the displays and slideshows honored a man who truly deserved it, although he always acted selflessly and never sought glory. Sorry for the length of this but THANK YOU ETERNALLY! So many empowering songs have poured from you. This one especially helped heal me enough to keep going at the countless moments glory felt unreachable. And it brought glory to a man who built his career in the west and peace to his daughter that was born in the west.

This one makes my heart ache

it’s my favourite music, she is a beautiful

Nowhere left to go, but goin's all we know

Beautifully haunting and wildly enchanting

Well, after this, I needed to sit down too. Honest, melancholic, and so heartbreakingly wholesome.

having moved from new jersey, to new york, to memphis, to austin in the last three years taught me this

If Johnny Cash & Elvis had a baby, he'd sound like Orville ...

Orville Peck is for the people.

There's some Roy Orbison influence in the vocal...stunning

THIS IS THE BEST DISCOVERY I'VE MADE . This reminds me so much of Cash's "Hurt"

Orville, You NEVER cease to amaze me! Saw you Live in Tampa for Pony. One of the BEST shows I've EVER SEEN! You continue to Raise the Bar, and THAT is something to be proud of! RIDE ON MASKED SINGER! RIDE ON! And those Lovely Words you spoke a couple Days ago COULDN'T be More Prudent at a time like this.. We Need Unity... And the Kindness Of MEN! Amen Orville, Amen..

He has a bearing of profound nobility.

tHIS IS ART

Homeboy is criminally underrated, I've been listening to him for a few years now and absolutely love him. For some reason in my head I call him "Orvy"

O MOI BOG! he is so handsome, beautiful and gallant, his voice is honey to my ears

Who else is here because of Legendary Legends? This dude is cussing awesome, just the kind of music i was looking for

Orville, your voice haunts me, never stop singing please

Guess I'm an Orville Peck fan now.

It isn't like a movie to me; it's a memory. A memory of living in THAT West. Where the tall trees & winds are your constant company. LOVELY take of the place that taught me how STRONG I am.

Johnny cash vibes.

Thank you for changing country music... your contemporary, diverse, imaginative, and unique style of honoring legendary artists like Dolly and Johnny Cash is breathtakingly beautiful. ❤️🌹

I discovered Orville through the Willie Nelson song but every song I've listened to since has been killer

I just this mans voice and all the things he goes just to sing.

He's always had that Johhny Cash vibes, but in this song is just, wow! The rhythm, the lyrics, the simplicity of the song, the voice

Very interesting video for a haunting song--Peck's lone cowboy becomes the spectral star in his own ghost story.

This sounds like it's begging to be in a Cohen brothers movie
