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.
It's Not Over
Secondhand Serenade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I'm not the one to blame
It's you or is it me'
And all the words we never say
Come out and now we're all ashamed
And there's no sense in playing games
When you've done all you can do
But now it's over, it's over, why is it over'
We had the chance to make it
Now it's over, it's over, it can't be over
I wish that I could take it back but it's over
I lose myself in all these fights
I lose my sense of wrong and right
I cry, I cry
A shaking from the pain that's in my head
I just wanna crawl into my bed
And throw away the life I've led
But I won't let it die, but I won't let it die
But now it's over, it's over, why is it over'
We had the chance to make it
Now it's over, it's over, it can't be over
I wish that I could take it back
I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart
Don't say this won't last forever
You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart
Don't tell me that we will never be together
We could be over and over, we could be forever
I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart
Don't say this won't last forever
You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart
Don't tell me that we will never be together
We could be over and over, we could be forever
It's not over, it's not over, it's never over
Unless you let it take you
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over
Unless you let it break you
It's not over
The lyrics of Secondhand Serenade's song "It's Not Over" express a sense of regret and sorrow over a failed relationship. The opening lines, "My tears run down like razorblades, I know I'm not the one to blame," suggest that the singer is deeply emotional and possibly feeling a sense of guilt over the end of the relationship. The refrain, "But now it's over, it's over, why is it over?" reinforces the idea that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship.
The second verse provides further insight into the singer's emotional state, with lines like "I lose myself in all these fights, I lose my sense of wrong and right, I cry, I cry." This suggests that the singer may have been struggling in the relationship for some time, perhaps feeling conflicted about what they want, and that the end of the relationship has been particularly difficult for them to cope with.
The song's chorus ends on a more hopeful note with the lines, "It's not over, it's not over, it's never over, unless you let it take you, it's not over, it's not over, it's not over, unless you let it break you." These lines suggest that the singer is determined not to let the end of the relationship define them and is encouraging themselves to move on and not let the experience hold them back.
