Secondhand Serenade

Secondhand Serenade est un groupe Rock Acoustique originaire de Menlo Park, en Californie. Il n'est formé que d'un seul membre, John Vesely, qui chante et qui joue de la guitare ainsi que du piano.

Histoire
En 2004, Vesely quitte le groupe rock alternatif "Souds Like Life" pour commencer son projet personnel. Il a commencé à écrire et à jouer ses chansons sous le nom de Secondhand Serenade. Il a loué un studio pour 8 jours et a enregistré les 10 chansons qui figurent aujourd'hui sur l'album "Awake". Ensuite, Vesely a fait sa propre publicité sur MySpace et PureVolume et a commencé à vendre ses premiers album via son profile MySpace. Il a vite atteint la list des "Top Unsigned Artists" (meilleurs artistes non signés par des maisons de disques), et même le Top 100 d'iTunes.
Depuis ce temps, il a signé un contrat avec Glassnote Record, créé par Daniel Glass. Au total, Secondhand Serenade a vendu environ 73 000 pistes digitales et plus de 10 000 copies de son album "Awake".

• Titre : Maybe
• Album : Awake
• Année : 2007

Paroles :

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
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 x2

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

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

• Titre : Your Call - Secondhand Serenade
• Album : Awake
• Année : 2007

Paroles :

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
Call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet

I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
When you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
(What's your, what's your...)

I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
x4
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to
I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)
