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
Ver BiograFia Completa
I met you by the pool so free and careless
That evening didn't go as we had planned
But I knew I had to bring you out to see me
I was a selfish boy in love
With half a heart in his hand
We were dancing on
Not caring who was watching
Live like that there was nothing we could lose
But I was wrong
And there is nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To relive every moment spent with you
I'd never lost it all 'till I lost you
But I was too much to reckless
And I broke your heart in two
A million bits of hope
Now you'll never know the truth
You're part of every single thing I do
Now you're gone 'cause I forgot about loving you
As time went by I was driven by deception
But you always stood beside me and you prayed
And I'd see the pain I caused
But I chose to look right through
I let you down and watched you slip away
I'd never lost it all 'till I lost you
But I was too much to reckless
And I broke your heart in two
A million bits of hope
Now you'll never know the truth
You're part of every single thing I do
Now you're gone 'cause I forgot about loving you
I never lost it all 'till I lost you
But I was too much to reckless
And I broke your heart in two
A million bits of hope
Now you'll never know the truth
You're part of every single thing I do
Now you're gone 'cause I forgot about loving you
