Secondhand Serenade es el proyecto personal del cantante y compositor John Vesely, nacido el 5 de febrero de 1982 en Menlo Park, California. Antes de adentrarse en el mundo de la música como solista, Vesely estuvo involucrado en varias bandas locales, donde cumplió roles como bajista y cantante. Sin embargo, fue durante estos años formativos que descubrió su verdadera pasión: la guitarra acústica, que se convertiría en su principal herramienta de expresión artística.
El nombre "Secondhand Serenade" tiene una historia interesante detrás. Vesely lo escogió para sugerir que sus canciones eran serenatas indirectas a su audiencia. Originalmente, eran dedicadas a su entonces esposa, pero con cada interpretación y grabación, el público recibía una serenata de segunda mano. Esta idea encajaba perfectamente con la forma íntima y emotiva de su música.
En 2007, Secondhand Serenade lanzó su primer álbum, Awake. Grabado de manera independiente, este disco es básicamente un conjunto de canciones acústicas cargadas de emociones crudas y honestas. Temas como “Vulnerable” y “Your Call” se convirtieron rápidamente en favoritos de los fans, mientras que la plataforma MySpace ayudó significativamente en su promoción. El éxito de Awake no pasó desapercibido y llevó a Vesely a firmar con la discográfica Glassnote Records.
El segundo álbum de Secondhand Serenade, A Twist in My Story, lanzado en 2008, catapultó a Vesely

Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in
Because it's cold outside (cold outside), it's cold outside
(it's cold outside)
Share with me the secrets that you kept in
Because it's cold inside (cold inside), it's cold inside
(it's cold inside)
And your slow shaking finger tips show
That you're scared like me so
Let's pretend we're alone
And I know you may be scared
And I know we're unprepared
But I don't care
Tell me, tell me
What makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure
Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable
Impossible
I was born to tell you I love you
Isn't that a song already?
(isn't that a song already?)
I get a B in originality
And it's true I can't go on without you
Your smile makes me see clearer
If you could only see in the mirror what I see
And your slow shaking finger tips show
That you're scared like me so
Let's pretend we're alone
And I know you may be scared
And I know we're unprepared
But I don't care
Tell me, tell me
What makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure
Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable
Impossible
Slow down girl... you're not going anywhere
Just wait around and see
Maybe I'm much more
You never know what lies ahead
I promise I can be anyone, I can be anything
Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed
I can be anyone, anything
I promise I can be what you need
(I can be what you need)
Tell me, tell me
What makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure
(I can be what you need)
Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable
(don't tell me I'm the only one)
