Artist:Secondhand Serenade
Song: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 ambitious1, 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 solitary2 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
加州男生John Vesely的父亲在演奏了20年的爵士乐,从小耳濡目染,难免也对音乐产生兴趣。John 从12岁时开始迷上吉他,并且开始创作歌曲。2005年,John为自己想好了一个艺名——Secondhand Serenade(二手夜曲),毛遂自荐到独立厂牌Glassnote,于是处子专辑《Awake》诞生。虽然Secondhand Serenade标榜自己是Emo,然而他却不如那些Emo乐队那么阴郁、黑暗。这一点从John Vesely的外形就可以窥见一二,John绝对称的上Cute Boy。有别于一般Emo乐队成员喜欢把自己打扮得像要去参加葬礼一样,John Vesely干净健康的外表很有可能会让你误以为这是一个商业流行男歌手。不过千万别以貌取人,John Vesely音乐中激进的速度感和他极具爆发力的演唱绝对能让你热血沸腾。
《A Twist In My Story》是Secondhand Serenade在独立厂牌Glassnote的第二张专辑,距离上一张《Awake》还只有短短的一年时间。顶着首张专辑获得的成功而产生的巨大压力,John Vesely在新专辑中有了很多新鲜的尝试。John Vesely邀请了几位重量级的摇滚制作人作为专辑的幕后推手:为摇滚天团Nine Inch Nails制作过专辑的Danny Lohner,以及超级Emo制作人Butch Walker,他曾为已经功成名就的Emo乐队Fall Out Boy创作了诸多好歌。如果说《Awake》还偶尔能温暖一下,让人心情平和,那么这张《A Twist In My Story》则更适合随着节奏摇头晃脑。John Vesely在谈到这张专辑的时候说,他的创作方式实际上延续了首张专辑,只不过这个过程变的更加复杂,包括音乐的层次和歌曲表达的意境都更加成熟。新的创作环境,新的创作过程,促成了Secondhand Serenade这张更加激情更加好听的《A Twist In My Story》。
Secondhand Serenade的音乐具有Emo的速度感和旋律感,但歌曲意境却没有大多数Emo乐队那么怪异、阴郁。对于一个摇滚男歌手来说,他的嗓音还略显稚嫩,可以说是介于男人与男孩之间,算是特色之一。另外Secondhand Serenade歌曲都比较流行化,对于看重旋律的摇滚乐迷应该很受用。
