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

I got the Monday blues on a Sunday afternoon
Your coffee cup is empty and your bills went through the roof
Cause looking at the good life isn't in the cards for you
You need a cheat sheet on this never ending test
You got the key and lost it and now you left a second guess
Waiting on the love that hasn't found you yet, no
If you feel so alone, let it go
Come on
Just shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta wake up
Show them what you're made of
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta stand up
Gotta throw your hands up
Just shake it off
She's a dynamite girl and she smiles as she waves
You take it as a compliment then take a double take
Her eyes are on the guy a few tables away
When your dollar give a friend for telling you're around
Catching up cannot in this senseless college town
Bet you wish you knew what they were doing now
If you feel alone, now
Come on, let it go
Just shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta wake up
Show them what you're made of
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta stand up
Gotta throw your hands up
It's only phase
Walking on a thin line you're gunna see
That these are the days
You got to take a second, remember to breathe
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Just shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Just shake it off
(Go!)
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta wake up
Show them what you're made of
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta stand up
Gotta throw your hands up
(You've got to shake it off, shake it off)
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta wake up
Show them what you're made of
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
Shake shake, shake it off
You gotta gotta stand up
Gotta throw your hands up
(You've got to shake it off, shake it off)
Just shake it off
