After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade. (Secondhand, because his wife, Candice, hears all his songs firsthand.) He rented a studio for 8 days and recorded his 10-track debut album "Awake." Through self-promotion through MySpace and PureVolume, he began to build a loyal fanbase and sold his album and merchandise via his MySpace profile. He quickly rose to the MySpace "Top Unsigned Artists" list, and even entered the iTunes Top 100, a feat for an unsigned act.
He has since signed a deal with new label Glassnote Records, founded by CEO Daniel Glass. In total, Secondhand Serenade has sold about 73,000 digital tracks and more than 10,000 copies of his album "Awake," according to Nielsen SoundScan. After the album was released on Glassnote/ILG on Feb. 6, 2007, with two additional songs, it debuted on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart at # 16.
Vesely was featured on MTV's "You Hear It First," along with spots on AOL Music's "Breakers" and on Yahoo! Music's "Who's Next?".
Another album, "A Twist In My Story," has since been released and a band effect was added digitally. He is on tour, now with a band.
Fall for You
Secondhand Serenade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It couldn't be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear its true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible to find
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
The lyrics of Secondhand Serenade's Fall for You speaks about a man who is begging for another chance in a relationship with the woman he loves. He notes that the best thing about the night they are presently sharing is the fact that they are not fighting. However, he acknowledges that the relationship, in the past, has been tumultuous, and although he is trying now, he is aware that she does not believe he is trying enough. He is pleading for her not to make him change his mind because he knows he will not survive without her. He then reassures her that falling in love with her again tonight is something that he knows will happen. The second verse then speaks about the man's intention to never fall apart and how the woman has always believed that he was stronger. Nevertheless, he admits to failing but reminds the woman that he has always loved her from the beginning.

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
It's great that we're not arguing tonight
It couldn't be that we have been this way before
It's unlikely that we've been in this situation previously
I know you don't think that I am trying
I'm aware that you think I'm not making an effort

I understand that you're emotionally exhausted
But hold your breath
Get ready for something big
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Tonight is when I'll completely fall in love with you
Over again
As if for the first time
Don't make me change my mind

Mean what you say
'Cause talk is cheap
Words alone aren't enough
And remember me tonight when you're asleep
Don't forget about me even in your dreams
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Tonight is when I'll completely fall in love with you
Over again
As if for the first time
Don't make me change my mind
Please don't give me a reason to reconsider

I'm being completely sincere
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're truly one of a kind
You're impossible to find
You're truly unique and special
