precious seconds of life drift away

Opeth - “Bleak” 

© Brian Helm

Marshalltown was a great place to grow up and a lot of amazing people live there. I don’t think I ever intended to mythologize it, but I did want to represent where we come from in a very vivid and specific way. I’m not as critical of it as many people are led to believe. When you are a confused young person in a dark place…that perspective(or lack thereof) affects the way you see everything. Singing about cheap rent and hell’s exhaust pipe (at the Meat Packing Plant) is an intention to be descriptive of my surroundings while talking about what I am going through personally. It was my setting for my poetry and stories… It is a unique place and the working class, smalltown mindset and lack of art and culture influenced me in positive and negative ways. - Jeffrey Eaton (x)
