用网上的人们说，就是听到感觉不到麻木
John Vesely, the Northern California singer-songwriter who's better known as Secondhand Serenade, has quickly gone from MySpace phenomenon to prospective Top Ten artist, with TRL airplay and a growing legion of teenage fans. Too bad he comes off like a cornier version of Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba: a tattooed love junkie who wears his heart on his sleeve, his chest and both pant legs. Vesely's second album distills emo to its most heartbroken elements, dredging up huge, pained choruses and very little punk: Mostly, A Twist in My Story sticks to acoustic backing, with some shimmering Coldplay-esque grooves tossed in on tracks like "Fall for You." Vesely has big pipes, but paired with these slickly produced, melodramatic ballads, he sometimes comes off as whiny or ingratiating, and his lovelorn lyrics can take on a certain stalker quality that borders on creepy: On the title track he wails, "I'll give up all that I had just to breathe the same air as you to the day that I die." Yowsa.
Secondhand Serenade - Your Call
Waiting for your cal I'm sick
call I'm angry
call I'm desperate for your voice
I'm 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
'Cause 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 yours
What's yours
'Cause 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
And I'm tired of being all alone
and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
And I'm tired of being all alone
and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
And I'm tired of being all alone
and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
'Cause i was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to
'Cause i was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to
Stay with me tonight
