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

Please forgive me if I seem forward
But I've never been in front of anything like you
It's the last place I ever thought I'd be
When I woke up this morning
Is it true that you're always this breath-taking?
And you're smart and you're willing
My God this is killing me
Tell me all the things you never said
We could lie here and talk for hours in my bed
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
You're starting to see right through me
And I'm loving every minute of it
It's like I'm born again, every time I breathe in so...
If you're curious, my favourite colour's blue
And I like to sing in the shower
If you like I'll sing to you
Tell me all the things you never said
We could lie here and talk for hours in my bed
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
Tell me all of your hopes, all of your dreams
I want you to take me there
(take me there)
Tell me all of your hopes, all of your dreams
I want to take you there
(take you there)
Tell me everything, every breath
I want you to know I'll be there
There's just one more thing, one request
I want you to take me with you
Take me with you
I will never let you down
I will love you now and forever
Take me with you
I will never let you down
I will love you now and forever
(now and forever)
Take me with you
I will never let you down
(now and forever)
I will love you now and forever
(now and forever)
(repeat x4)
