about

Pictures asks the question, does a photographer's lens capture the multi-dimensional nature of human beings; their colours and shades, the subtly of expression, the nuances of mood, the spectrum between light and dark and all that exists in our interiors and edifices or are we reduced to a series of directed pleasantries with each click requiring the force of a blemished smile.

lyrics

Pictures

I'm open to closure
Exposure
When the grey breaks
The light wakes us
When hopeless comes creeping closer
It's over
And here am I
Caught in sorrow

I don't remember
I saw it
He shot it and soon forget who it was

These are
Pictures of me
Look into it
This is what you will see
These scans show
Pictures of another
And I don't know why they ask me to smile
Laughter's only natural

This one looks something like that (Does it Really?)

The motion feels slower
Emotion
When the pain aches
The dull takes its toll
When hopeless comes creeping closer
It's over
And here am I
Captured in sorrow

I don't remember
I saw it
He shot it and soon forgot who it was

These are
Pictures of me
Look into
This is what you will see
These scans show
Pictures of another
And I don't know why they ask me to smile
Laughter's only natural

These are
Pictures of me
Look into
This is what you will see
These scans show
Pictures of another
And I don't know why they ask me to smile
No one would believe I felt this alive
So he set-up
I told him again
Laughter's only natural

These are pictures of me
Look into
This is what you will see
These scans show
Pictures of another

These are...
Pictures of me
These are...
Pictures of me

1982

1982 is the solo project of musical artist, Scott Kesner.

The music of 1982 surges forward in time while retaining the trademarks that defined an era. ... more
