Early history, first release (2004–2006)

John Vesely formed Secondhand Serenade in his home town of Menlo Park in California, USA, in 2004. Vesely was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area in a humorous family and as the son of a professor, commenting that "getting into music was a tough and heavy thing" for him. He started getting into music at the age of 12. He spent 8 years playing bass in local bands, featuring in a number of acts ranging in style from ska and hardcore to rock and pop.One of the bands he played in, Sounds Like Life, included fellow Bay Area artist Ronnie Day. After years of playing bass, he opted for an acoustic guitar. Vesely follows in the tradition of John Ondrasik's Five for Fighting. Vesely was also the son of a Czech immigrant.

Vesely began writing his own songs when he met his wife Candice Vesely. She had wanted him to play a song and "serenading her with a bass guitar was out of the question." He has admitted he found his "true calling" when he picked up the guitar.The pseudonym Secondhand Serenade is a reference to the way in which his songs were "serenades" sung to his wife Candice, with whom he has two young sons. People around the world are merely getting to hear the songs "second-hand". While Vesely continues to market the affectionate biography, the couple broke up in 2008. Vesely was heart broken as can be seen in many of his songs. He released A Twist in My Story as a reference to the divorce.[7][8]

While some artists may fear the rawness of playing with just an acoustic guitar, John welcomes the honesty it comes along with. He claims "in some ways a band is more powerful, but in other ways there are things you can do with one voice and one acoustic guitar that you couldn't do with an army of musicians behind you."[9]

In 2005, Vesely released his debut album titled Awake. It was recorded as a demo, after booking a few days at a San Francisco studio earlier in 2005, "using just an acoustic guitar and his multi-tracked vocals."[10] The album was promoted through the Secondhand Serenade MySpace page and by playing local shows. The CDs were originally sold through mail order with a PayPal account by Vesely, eventually he signed up with distributor TuneCore, making Secondhand Serenade's songs available on music portals including iTunes.The album experienced tremendous online support, and by the end of 2006 Secondhand Serenade had received millions of plays on MySpace and had been the social-networking site's No. 1 Independent Artist for months. Financially, he was said to be bringing in up to $20,000 a month from downloads and merchandise sales out of his home.[10] He sold over 15,000 copies of the album on his own,[12] and on the strength of these sales and the support, naturally, the labels came knocking. Secondhand Serenade was signed by longtime label executive Daniel Glass, on his new label Glassnote Records, which is distributed through Warner's Independent Label Group.[11] In 2006, Rolling Stone announced Secondhand Serenade as #3 in the magazine's reader's poll for Best MySpace Artist.[12]

Awake re-release (2007)[edit]

In early 2007, Awake was reissued by Glassnote Records with an additional two songs. It was released on January 31 and gave Vesely his first chartings, debuting at #16 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart.[11] Added success lead to it peaking at #164 on the Billboard 200, #3 on the Top Heatseekers and #19 on the Independent Albums chart.

In support of his first label release, Vesely was featured on MTV's You Hear It First, AOL Music's Breakers Yahoo! Music's Who's Next?[11] and appeared on talk show Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[10] He also played numerous shows, including tours with the likes of Hawthorne Heights and The All-American Rejects and at music festivals South by Southwest and alongside My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park at The Bamboozle.

Secondhand Serenade released only one song as a single from the debut album, "Vulnerable". The song spawned a music video, which was created by Frank Borin who was responsible for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' video for hit single "Dani California". "Vulnerable" peaked at #83 on the Billboard Hot 100, #64 on the Pop 100 and #56 on the Hot Digital Songs charts.

A Twist in My Story (2008–2009)

A Twist in My Story was released on February 19, 2008 and features songs from Awake such as "Maybe" and "Your Call," but reproduced with a full band. The bulk of the album however is a list of new songs written by John Vesely and recorded with a full band. Two tracks on A Twist in My Story were produced by famed producer Butch Walker, while the others were produced by former Nine Inch Nails member Danny Lohner. The first single, "Fall for You," was released January 21, 2008. The album was leaked, and was made available for download one month before its official release. On January 28, 2008 the music video for the first single from the album "Fall for You" premiered on the MTV show TRL.

Setup rules, filters, or labels

All e-mail programs and online e-mail services today have rules, filter, or label system that enables you to automatically move and otherwise organize incoming e-mail. Using this effectively can help organize your e-mail and get to what's most important first. Below are some suggestions for rules we'd suggest setting up first.

Move important and unimportant e-mails to a folder of their own.

Highlight or set priority to certain addresses. For example, a rule could be created to highlight any user that's found in your address book.

Filter out common spam words that get into your inbox, e.g. Viagra.

In programs that support it setup a rule to mark messages that may not be important as read. This can help eliminate the stress you get when opening your e-mail and seeing hundreds of unread e-mails.

If you're getting a lot of spam filter your e-mail through Gmail. See Tip133 for additional information.

Don't be afraid to delete

After reading e-mail always take action on that e-mail. Don't save it for later or move it into a folder to be forgot about. If you're unable to take action on the e-mail, delegate it to someone else, or postpone it for later that day delete it. Every e-mail doesn't need a response and there is no reason to save an e-mail that's going to be deleted months later.

SAYAP-SAYAP PATAH

Wahai langit .... Tanyakan pada-Nya Mengapa Dia menciptakan sekeping hati ini .... Begitu rapuh dan mudah terluka .... Saat dihadapkan dengan duri-duri cinta Begitu kuat dan kokoh .... Saat berselimut cinta dan asa .... Mengapa Dia menciptakan rasa sayang dan rindu di dalam hati ini .... Mengisi kekosongan di dalamnya Menyisakan kegelisahan akan sosok sang kekasih Menimbulkan segudang tanya .... Menghimpun berjuta asa .... Memberikan semangat juga meninggalkan kepedihan yang tak terkira .... Mengapa Dia menciptakan kegelisahan dalam jiwa .... Menghimpit bayangan .... Menyesakkan dada .... Tak berdaya melawan gejolak yang menerpa .... Wahai ilalang .... Pernahkan kau merasakan rasa yang begitu menyiksa ini ? Mengapa kau hanya diam .... Katakan padaku .... Sebuah kata yang bisa meredam gejolak jiwa ini .... Sesuatu yang dibutuhkan raga ini .... Sebagai pengobat rasa sakit yang tak terkendali .... Desiran angin membuat berisik dirimu .... 

Bukan ku tak berusaha keras. Sudah banyak coklat yang kubeli. Banyak buku romantis yang ku baca dan ku jadikan kado. Sayap-sayap patah Kahlil Gibran adalah buku kesukaanku. Banyak bunga yang kuberi. Semua itu tak mampu meluluhkan hati setiap gadis yang ku puja. Aku adalah lelaki normal yang butuh perhatian dari lawan jenis.

Namun ku tak juga mendapatkannya. Hingga ku lulus kuliah. Tetap saja sendiri. Melangkah meninggalkan jejak masa lalu tanpa pendamping. Ketika ku wisuda,tak ada seorang gadis yang mendampingi dan mengucapkan selamat. Tak ada yang spesial dalam hidupku. Seperti malam tak berbintang.

Dan kini, ada seorang gadis yang begitu memikat hatiku. Dia ku kenal sebulan yang lalu. Dia teman kerjaku di sebuah perusahaan swasta. Tutur katanya sopan dan lembut. Sikapnya baik dan ramah. Parasnya ayu. Di kantor, aku sering ngobrol dengannya tentang pekerjaan dan lain sebagainya. Dia mungkin lebih menempatkanku sebagai sahabat dan teman satu kantor. Tidak lebih. Tapi aku punya perasaan lain. Aku ingin menjadi penjaga hatinya.

Dan aku pun mulai memberi perhatian- perhatian yang lebih. Dan sejak itu, dia berubah. Menjauhiku. Langit yang tadinya berbintang,menjadi hitam tertutup awan. Sampai tiba saatnya, dia menikah dengan pria lain, yang dicintainya.

Aku tak putus asa. Tetap ku jalani hidup ini. Tetap ku tulis seribu puisi. Sebagai pengobat sepi. Umurku baru dua puluh empat. Jalan masih jauh. Aku harus tetap melangkah. Menjalani kehidupan. Mengambil satu peranan.

Sebagai pelarian,ku alihkan perhatianku untuk menulis. Apa saja kutulis. Puisi, cerpen, artikel. Meski tidak kupublikasikan. Ku tetap menulis. Dengan menulis,sgala yang mengendap dalam hati terasa ada penyalurannya. Seperti sebuah sungai yang jernih. Tempatku membuang limbah yang mengendap di hatiku. Ku ingin berenang menyusuri likunya. Menikmati kesegaran airnya.

Malam meliputi Lebanon Utara, dan salju pun menyelimuti pedesaan di tengah Lembah Kadisya, menampakkan panorama bagai lembaran perkamen putih, dan di atasnya, sang Alam yang Murka sedang merekam tindak-langkahnya. Orang-orang bergegas pulang, sementara kesunyian merayapi malam.

Di sebuah rumah terpencil pinggiran pedesaan, tinggal seorang wanita, yang sedang duduk dekat tungku perapian, memintal benang bulu domba; di sampingnya anak tunggalnya, yang menunggunya sambil memandang api dan ibundanya berganti-ganti.

Gelegar halilintar yang dahsyat mengguncang huma, dan si kecil menggigil ketakutan. Dia merengkuhkan lengan pada ibunya, mencari perlindungan pada kasih-sayangnya, dari amukan Alam. Si ibu mendekapkannya ke dada dan mengecup dahinya; lalu mendudukkannya di pangkuan, sambil berkata, “Jangan takut, anakku sayang, Alam hanya mengukur kekuatan dengan kelemahan manusia. Tetapi ada Yang Maha Kuasa di atas hujan salju dan gumpalan awan di balik sapuan badai dan petir taufan, Dia Maha Tahu akan kebutuhan bumi ini, sebab Dia jua yang membuatnya, dan si lemah pun dipandang-Nya lembut dengan mata iba.

“Kau harus berani, Nak. Alam tersenyum di musim Semi, dan tertawa di Musim Panas, dan menguap di Musim Gugur, tetapi kini dia menangis; dan dengan air matanya dia menyirami kehidupan, yang tersembunyi di bawah bumi.

“Tidurlah, sayang; ayahmu mengamati kita dari tirai Keabadian. Salju dan guntur di saat demikian, lebih mendekatkan kita padanya.

“Tidurlah, kasih; sebab selimut salju putih yang dinginnya menggigit tulang ini menghangatkan benih yang bakal melahirkan bunga indah, ketika Nisan datang.

“Demikianlah, nak, orang tak mungkin panen kasih, sebelum perpisahan yang membuka pengertian sedih, kesabaran yang menghimpit dan perngorbanan pedih. Tidurlah, sayang; mimpi indah akan mengunjungi jiwamu, yang tak gentar menghadapi malam geram dan cuaca kebekuan yang mengiris sendi tulang.”

PANDANGAN PERTAMA

Itulah saat yang memisahkan aroma kehidupan dari kesedarannya.

Itulah percikan api pertama yang menyalakan wilayah-wilayah jiwa.

Itulah nada magis pertama yang dipetik dari dawai-dawai perak hati manusia.

Itulah saat sekilas yang menyampaikan pada telinga jiwa tentang risalah hari-

hari yang telah berlalu dan mengungkapkan karya kesadaran yang dilakukan

malam, menjadikan mata jernih melihat kenikmatan di dunia dan menjadikan

misteri-misteri keabadian di dunia ini hadir.

Itulah benih yang ditaburan oleh Ishtar; dewi cinta, dari suatu tempat yang

tinggi.

Mata mereka menaburkan benih di dalam ladang hati, perasaan

memeliharanya, dan jiwa membawanya kepada buah-buahan.

Pandangan pertama kekasih adalah seperti roh yang bergerak di permukaan

air mengalir menuju syurga dan bumi. Pandangan pertama dari sahabat

kehidupan menggemakan kata-kata Tuhan, "Jadilah, maka terjadilah ia"

Hmmm… kutarik helai nafas panjang di pagi itu. Udara terasa sejuk saat mentari mulai mengedipkan sinarnya ke bumi. Saat itu pula aku berfikir bagaimana cara untuk memulai hari. Huuuhhh…. sudahlah, dan akhirnya aku berangkat dengan langkah kaki yang pasti menuju bangku tempatku meniti kehidupan yang lebih baik. Disana, aku menemukan teman, sahabat dan kenangan. Dan disanalah aku juga menemukan apa arti kasih sayang yang tulus dari sebuah cinta.

Sesaat sampai di sekolah, aku melihat sesuatu yang membuat otakku seolah berhenti untuk berfikir dan hanya tersenyum saat melihatnya. Tanpa kusadari dia adalah teman baru sekelasku dan saat itu pula dia duduk tepat di sampingku. Namanya Dinda, saat dipanggil oleh wali kelasku yang baru. Manis, tak banyak ngomong, perhatian, anggun dan peduli, itu adalah kesan pertama yang kudapat dari dinda.

Di parkiran sekolah aku bertemu dengannya dan mengajak berkenalan, ternyata dia adalah pribadi yang welcome dan menyenangkan. Waktu ke waktu selalu kuhabiskan dengannya di kelas begitu juga dengannya. Dan aku semakin mengerti, apa artinya memberi tanpa harus diberi. Bercanda bersama, makan bersama di pinggir jalan, naik gunung bersama, naik sepeda bersama, sampai kehujanan berdua pun telah kita lalui.

In 1971, Roger and Carolyn move into a dilapidated farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island with their five daughters. During the first day, their move goes smoothly, though their dog, Sadie, refuses to enter the house and one of the daughters finds a boarded up entrance to a cellar.

The next morning, Carolyn wakes up with a mysterious bruise and finds Sadie lying dead outside the house. Over the next several days, various instances of paranormal disturbance occur, one of which is Carolyn noticing all clocks in the house stop at exactly 3:07. The activity culminates one night while Roger is away in Florida. After hearing various clapping, giggling, and seeing the picture frames shattered on the stairs, Carolyn is locked up in the cellar. Right after this, Cindy is awakened after sleepwalking into Andrea's room and is horrified when she sees a spirit at the top of a wardrobe in the room, who attacks Andrea.

Carolyn contacts noted paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren for help. The Warrens conduct an initial investigation and conclude that the house may require an exorcism, but they needed authorization from the Catholic Church and further evidence before that.

While researching the history of the house, Ed and Lorraine discover that the house once belonged to an accused witch, Bathsheba, who tried to sacrifice her children to the devil and killed herself in 1863 after cursing all who would take her land. The property was once 200+ acres but has since been divided up into smaller parcels. They find reports of numerous murders and suicides in houses that have since been built upon parcels that were once part of the property.

The film opens with Super 8 footage depicting a family of four standing beneath a tree with hoods over their heads and nooses around their necks. An unseen figure saws through a limb acting as a counterweight, causing their deaths by hanging.

Months later, washed-up true crime writer Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) moves into the murdered family's home with his wife, Tracy (Juliet Rylance), and their two children, Ashley 7 years old (Clare Foley), a gifted artist who is allowed to paint on her walls, and Trevor 12 year old (Michael Hall D'Addario), who begins re-experiencing bizarre night terrors upon moving into the home. Only Ellison is aware that the house they are moving into was the crime scene. Ellison intends to use the murders as the basis for his new book, and hopes that his research will turn up the fate of the family's fifth member, a 10 year old girl named Stephanie who disappeared following the murders.

Ellison finds a box in the attic that contains a projector and several reels of Standard 8 mm footage that are each labeled as innocent home movies. Watching the films, Ellison discovers that they are snuff movies depicting families being murdered in various ways: having their throats slit in bed (Sleepy Time '98), being burnt to death in a car (BBQ '79), being drowned in their pool (Pool Party '66), being run over by a lawn mower (Lawn Work '86), and the hanging that opened the movie (Family Hanging Out '11). The drowning film proves especially disturbing for Ellison after he notices the face of a demonic figure watching the drownings from the bottom of the pool. Ellison eventually finds the figure observing the murders in each of the films, along with a strange painted symbol; inspecting the lid of the box containing the films, Ellison discovers childish drawings depicting the murders, along with crude sketches of the demonic figure, identified as "Mr. Boogie." Consulting a local deputy (James Ransone), Ellison discovers that the murders depicted in the films took place at different times, beginning in the 1960s, and in different cities across the country. He also learns that the families were all drugged before being killed; and that a child from each family went missing following every murder. The deputy refers Ellison to a local professor, Jonas (Vincent D'Onofrio), whose expertise is the occult and demonic phenomena, to decipher the symbol in the films. Jonas tells Ellison that the symbols are that of a pagan Babylonian deity named Bughuul (Nick King), who would kill entire families so that he could take one of their children into his realm and consume their souls.
