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

Didn't you want to hear the sound of all the places we could go
Do you fear the expressions on the faces we don't know
It's a cold hard road when you wake up
And I don't think that I
Have the strength
To let you go
Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
There goes my ring... it might as well have been shattered
And I'm here to sing about the things that mattered
About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long
About the things that kept you on my side
When I was wrong
Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
And someday, I promise I'll be gone
And someday, I might even sing this song to you
I might even sing this song to you, to you, to you...
And I was crying alone tonight
And I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you
So just come back we'll make it better
So just come back I'll make it better than it ever was
I'll make it better than it ever was...
Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
[I want it all]
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
[don't leave right now]
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
[I want it all]
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
[don't leave right now]
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
[I'll give you everything, I will give you everything, I will give you everything, I...] x 2
Maybe it's just me
