If you know one thing about the country musician Orville Peck, it’s probably that he wears a mask. Peck has long kept himself shrouded in mystery, shielding his face from the public and revealing few details about his past. His music, however, is full of emotional honesty and vulnerability — he told the Modern Love podcast that most of his lyrics are about his life — and his songs are imbued with a deep sense of longing.In this episode, Peck talks about why country music uniquely captures our complicated feelings about love, and why love and pain are so often intertwined. He reads a Modern Love essay, “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/11/fashion/sundaystyles/11love.html" target="_blank">Strung Out on Love and Checked In for Treatment</a>” by Rachel Yoder, about love addiction, and discusses what it takes to pull yourself from its distressing grip.Here’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/how-to-submit-a-modern-love-essay.html" target="_blank">how to submit a Modern Love essay to The New York Times</a>Here’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/19/style/modern-love-tiny-love-stories.html?pgtype=Article&action=click&module=RelatedLinks" target="_blank">how to submit a Tiny Love Story</a>
