Secondhand Serenade part1 "Like a Knife"

[mclaws1992]

Haha the drummer at 2:32 looks like hes hitting the drums with his head:)

[princessden98]

He's kinda cute :">

[azB435]

i am a fan of secondhand serenade...

 this is my favarite song..

[AmirMaggot1358]

i love SHS! but he sounds shit live!!

[toxicsociety20]

no one can beat "secondhand serenade"

who think i'm right???

[narutolee1318]

why am i here -.-?

[DoctaLove21]

I FUCKING LOVE HIM

[OppeltDrums]

He sounds sick, or too strained.

[TheAstigboys]

@OppeltDrums Are You DEAF??

[OppeltDrums]

@TheAstigboys Are you? His voice is really scratchy and frail-sounding at some parts, and he has problems hitting the high notes. Common singing problems when you're sick or strained.

[ViLLAiNprinceofrock]

What kind of guitar does Alex Sier used in this video ?

[TheBluerosedemon]

nice.....

[WTFPOIFTW]

2:28 lol the drummer is like bangin his head to the drums

[OZYnal]

@WTFPOIFTW wow. haha! opotical illusion. haha. well spotted dude. :)

[nightultimatestar8]

I rather the album version Makes me cry harder :'C

[ashlynn5625]

@nightultimatestar8 that is true

[LEFTY91335]

He may not have the best voice live, and his music may be auto-tuned, but he sings with emotion and passion and he's still amazing

[kimnylrinasin]

nice but he didnt sing my favorite line "stay with me or watch me bleed?"...

but still i like it....

[thelarvalamp]

i love how he's so emotional (: he's so mesmerizing to watch.

[ArvinRean020]

The BEst Tlaga!! kEA IdOl ko yan ee!!

[Eremess]

He didn't say "I need you just to breathe" :(

[anthonyjohnston23]

We All Love You John!

[EpicallyInsane]

I love him and all of his songs! They all have something to do with my life, some make me cry, some make me laugh. But they are ALL amazing!!! :) <3

[p0lice999]

I LOVE THEM MAN! Secondhand serenade FTW

[kaiharryitlog13]

[dylonkc24]

i LOVE SECONDHAND SERENADE ^_^

[dylonkc24]

i LOVE SECONDHAND SERENADE!!! ^_^

[tynaka123]

what an awsome drummer!

[fachrinxavier]

good song ever!

[CJgerrardkop]

'Cause today, you walked out of my life

'Cause today, your words felt like a knife

I'm not living this life.

[1NotEvenFunny1]

This is him WITHOUT autotune? Sad.

[zombiesbride]

@1NotEvenFunny1 fuck off fucking hater lets u do what he does

[TBSistheshitt]

amazing voice. :]

his music makes me so happy, i could listen to him all day. <3

[claunchen]

^^ damn GOOD ^^

[hyperdanoze]

Most beautiful performance i've ever seen. He means everything he says which make it so fucking aswesome to listen to <3 i fucking love secondhand serenade and all of their songs are perfect and makes sense, and tbh, i like the way he sings live, you go , john !

[PieterRomario]

greattt!!!!!!

[TheSoccerPlayer101]

he writes the most amazing songs and they all have something to do with what had happened to me in the past..i can really relate to him..who agrees with me'?

[k3v1ntorres]

@TheSoccerPlayer101

I feel like that a lot of the time too

[papakevs26]

your the man john good job idol!!!!

[Denisa287]

John has its own wonderful way to say in song what he feels! This is really unique to him but he is all!!

[Denisa287]

Awful I like this video, see how it survives John is amazing!!!!!!

[Always4got10]

i am a fan of SHS but i think john must work on his live performance..

sorry for the fans.. but i think he sucks on live..

[nevermoregg]

lmaooo the drummer looks like hes rocking out even though his parts are like one of the easiest drum parts ever

[secondhandserenade44]

I love Secondhand Serenade, but sometimes live, he try to sing too high.. and it's so ...

Either way, Secondhand Serenade is the best music EVER!

[Rudyandstuff]

he sings like fucking crap. but i love secondhandserenade(STUDIOVERSI­ON)

[Denisa287]

I can not even express how I would like to meet them!!

[orangesweetcarrot]

He's really forcing his vocal-cords too hard. Sounds painful :o

[aaronlou91]

3:10 did i just saw "ohhh computer lag"

[H0lySchnike]

I get shit all the time because I'm a metalhead and I absolutely love Secondhand Serenade. It's a wee bit frustrating that people aren't more accepting of others' musical tastes, but whatever.

[Spacecowboyy]

he sounds like he lost his voice a little. still sound good though.

[taffy411]

He shud make his songs a little lower so that when his vocal cords get tired it won't put such a strain on his voice. This may not b his best performance but he's n amazing singer/songwriter.

[countrywifeyy24]

the words are so deep and meaningful. i love how everyone can relate to john's music in some way. he isn't getting the credit that he deserves.

[Rgak44]

I really love secondhand serenade, but this song like a knife... i don't like this live version. The part of "Stay with me, or watch me bleed, I need you just to breath" I love this part, but in this song he don't sing

[lilDEVIL4ever]

I rlly like his music but honestly he sucks live, he's just trying too hard.. He should try singing more instead of yelling and trying to show off. No offense but that's my opinion...

[MrBryndell]

I Really Love This Band...

Though I Hate Emo...(hope not to offend you!!)

They Change The Way I Think About Emo Songs!! =D...

I Love Their Songs!! =D

Very Very Much!! =D

[MissiMie]

Kind of disappointed :| His vocals aren't as good live. And if he can't reach these notes, he probably can't hit most notes in all of the songs :|

Someone prove me wrong plz!

[klcbarton07]

@MissiMie This was recorded at the end of a 4 month tour. Try singing like this every night for 4 months. Your voice would end up raw like this too. :)

[Ace2705]

@MissiMie when a band goes on tour for a long period of time like secondhand serenade does real often it gets really hard on the voice. especially when your songs are all so very high and demanding from the vocalist. think about it, how often does he really get to rest his voice. eventually its gonna get real hard to reach those ridiculous notes throughout the tour because all of the songs have them. hes a great singer and those top notes were just too much for him on this day because of tour

[MissiMie]

@Ace2705 yeah you're totally right =D I take back my pretty stupid comment ^^

Thnx

[xchan222]

waaa ang ganda ng song....weeee.......



[turatsoy77]

sometimes i hate bands.....theyre only good in recording but sucks when singing live....

[ownagebroncos]

i get to see him july 19th! i cant wait! XD

[hapisesxD]

i love acoustic version, but this is amazing! =D

[sanjamacdonald22]

john u r awesome so intense n passioante i c y my friend loves ur music u rock totally awesome completely awesome

[0hBr0therProductions]

i love him so much, but his vocals arent the greatest live, sounds too high for him

[pizzahawtlips]

i love secondhand serenade..im waiting for a new album

[dejose33]

Your the Best EVER ! your Songs are all IN to ME.....Make more song john love it so much...will stay for your song forever!

[pumas44441]

I love this song, makes me cry everytime i hear it since I lsot the love of my life. She died adn i miss her, this song reminds me and i cry Nice job guys i love it

[angelaartuso2009]

john is really amazing!!! i love when he sings live!!! <3 ahh i love him! :]

[MusicologoImperfecto]

Out of all of the songs he played here.. THIS IS THE BEST!!! in my opinion... MY FAVORITE ;)

[theredlightpledge]

he messed up a bit on the vocals, he so stiff when he sings. looks almost like he has a hard time doing it. maybe his throat is just dry.

[theredlightpledge]

[buxadonoff]

i think the guy who's controlling the sound could up the volume of his microphone

[Reqiuem45]

He sounds good on his album BUT he must work on live performance he sounds ARGH...........SORRY to the fans!!

:(

[PoLaRIV]

He's a great singer, even live he has no problem staying in key.. but it seemed like he had trouble keeping a constant volume singing in the mic? But he got it after a bit. This song is fucking stellar!

[LaDolceDily]

I'm italian and I love all the songs of secondhand serenade!!!! =D john you're the best!

[krisallenfan1304]

Well you know what @catgoober good bands sound good live and in the studio and john vesely (seconhand seranade) sounds amazing in both....

[catgoober]

alot of bands suck live. secondhand serenade is one of them. i love them to death but this made my ears bleed.

[chepeach]

I love the way he sings whether live or studio!! John is awesome!!!!

[blink3daysgrace]

live he sucks... u-u

but I sill love the songs. *-*

[SecondhandTwilight1]

He's so amazingly adorable! i love the cd, his songs, him and what the songs stand for, he is AMAZING to say the least :)

[crypto2704]

GREAT song!! lovit!!

[Arcangelnegromortal]

the best ¡¡¡¡

[TheAlittlestar]

l love this song :D

[montela1980]

amazing voice ...

[RTRgomusicXD]

they're alright

but maybe they could write a song like that's what you get??

turn a painful story into a happy song??

[weirdkorey]

you want that kind of music i recommend Bowling For Soup's song I Dont Wish You Were Dead Anymore its a great song!! and bowling for soup is one of my favorite bands

[miguelmf]

watch?v=EaPon8jWKEM&feature=re­lated

Check "Try your hardest to remember" (03:50) Just awfull...

[empressndar]

his song's sounds

like similar in terms of tune...

but still i value what he's pointing out...

gud job...:I

[Rayza09]

I think at 3:25

[Rayza09]

lol I hit tab then space bar and it posted the comment :p whoops

yeah I think at 3:25 the crowd was meant to say it. You know like he would've pointed to the audience and been like GO!

[miguelmf]

@Rayza09 Crowd...? It's a TV studio gig... lol He bailed, that's just it...

[LeftOverCrackx3]

im disappointed, he screamed the high notes, and bailed on the part when the music stops for a second and its just supposed to be his voice

[miguelmf]

@LeftOverCrackx3 "stay with me or watch me bleed, i need you just to breed" Dissapointing, yes...

[alfredhijosa]

he made it a bridge...

[emogurlmaterial1]

Secondhand Serenade Will Always Be My #1 Band Forever. I know it's not a band but i don't want to call it pseudonym. Man, i wonder how he comes up with these AWEsome lyrics.......

[wenzjayy]

awesome lyrics and awesome music too!!!!!!!!! love them!

[emogurlmaterial1]

in 3:25, he was about to say " Try your hardest to remember." but i guess he forgot that it was one of the vocals when he made the song. But i still luv this song no matter what.

[sensesfaileo]

John Vesely is the fucking shit (L)

[RaPogi72]

what are the bass tab for this song??? cause you can see that there is someone playing the bass guitar. TNX :D

[damnitlammy]

chords? what are the chords that john is strumming? thanks, my favorite song by SSH :)

[ericyapboy]

ilove john..

great songs..

big WOW..

your songs..title goodbye makes me cry..

ilove you much T_T

[ericyapboy]

john s my idol..

i love his songs..

he makes me cry honesty..

always if i lisen all of his songs..

i hurt too..T_Tilove you john..

[thisisazn]

honestly i wish the drummer would stop playing that weak ride, cause you can barely hear it and it sounds so empty at time when they play with it...

but other than that, this it one of secondhand serenades best performance over

[mwarnock55]

hell yeah... the show must go on... i bet he about shit when he lost his voice half way into this song..lol

[Aviebaybe]

didnt sound to good that night.....

[bangbob45]

john rocks

[BilllOvergabi]

theaLfath,

He was sick..

He freaking couldn't help it !!!

Because normaly he's really really really good live !!

So.. what the heck?

[mRcDs18]

OMG!!

i love secondhand serenade <3 :D!!

& this song </3 is so good :')

[WeOldSchool]

i can perfect the drums to this song :) yay me xD

lol

[PsychicAzn]

And these words they have no meaning

If we'll never find the feeling.

The drummer's style doesn't fit in with the music their playing.

[theaLfath]

i like the song and the lyrics..

but i (or we?) have to admit that Jhon had a terrible voice when singing on live..

it's different than the records.. he can't reach the high tune..

But i love Secondhand Serenade..

can't wait to see them on JavaRockingLand 2009 @ Jakarta..

[miguelmf]

Where's the "stay with me" bit...?

[arserules]

Cozz todaaaaayyy.... Your words cut LIKE A KNIFE!!!

Amazing song, amazing voice!! Can't wait to see him in Jakarta!!!

[angelaartuso2009]

i love this song.....john has a great voice!!!

[ssssdeep]

Great show.

[Kessa6809]

[xXDecemberCoxXx]

Wtf is the drummer doing!! Annoying as hell.

But good song... a song has never fit me and my bf so good.... =/... we broken up, but you know.. i still miss him

[SoaPurple]

well the drummer is doing his job playing his part well ur dumb

[xXDecemberCoxXx]

[jejar77]

Very good song. I like it so much.

[LeMbOy01]

i love this song..

[AshleeDiamond]

amazin song !! i totally love it !

he is awesome (:

[MaiaGuitar20]

best song

[babylion25]

cool!!!

[Ebayrocks99]

hes way better with the whole band!

[jerroldSubire]

nice keyboard Lucas

[xDilemmachinex]

His voice sounds weird in this video. Also, what's with the full band thing going on? He is better with just him and his acoustic.

[felixcain]

i'm agree with you, acoustic version is so much better, and more original.

[tmanfender]

well secondhand serenade is a band!

[sinister420]

yes it's a band. and he's a one man band if he dont go live. ^^

[MacoiXxIII]

and he took out the best part of the song...

[PinkFloyd12]

I agree

[helicopter1996]

what are you going to do with out your computers lol but that was awesome!

[khrysse123]

john vesely rock!!! great voice..

LovE it!! awesome and cooL..

[keyblade09]

a telecaster..

[rafazinn]

hey 'DeepRockDriveVault',

can i download this apresentation including all the 10 songs? Thank you

[Guosto]

secondhand serenade, yellow card, dashboard confensional,and faber drive,same voice but cool..

[undertecket]

my baby <333

[ImTheUnforgivenII]

well I like all his stuff, but you got to see some variations in his preformance.

one day he sounds like on the records, the next even better, and some days he actully sounds like crap.

Which actulyl sums up to a REGULAR artist. He's not God lawl.

just a statement for those who would say he can't sing live just cus he has one or two bad performance.

[lilsweetky]

i saw john in concert and it was awesome. john is so sexy!!!

[hojobojo]

hmm wonder what was up with his voice.. :S

[linkinfarrar]

he was sick and had like a throat infection or something,,

[jd162]

stop mocking him, you try doing that...

[jimghareeb]

Wow.. he blows live

[masonar]

"Goodbyes are meant for lonely people, standing in the rain" <3

i fucking love you john!

[nb24494]

i <3 love this song

+ the singers t-shirt

DISCO SUCKS !!!!!

[Searloskier06]

Secondhand Serenade 4 Life <3

[o0oMelindao0o]

I love him :)

[modestmousegirlx]

i miss his old style of singing, when it was just him and his guitar and his piano. I do love this though.

[serenadeprince]

i play all his songs in the guitar...

lovin' it

[moments12]

ahhhhhhh! he didn't sing my favorite parts! poor boy!

[BushidoBen]

Can't believe I never heard of this band until now, then again i dont watch that mtv crap. I

been listening to this song about 40 times today and still going. amazing band.

[mercek1]

it makes me tears..almost whole day i listen to dis songs..

[FuryFighter007]

Hmm.. Never heard of this band before. This sounds kinda cool- The singer is so good.

[amyx32]

it really is such a shame he had a cold durnig this

his voice is so amazing when he's healthy

i love how you can see how strong his emotions are when he sings

[alancarlosms]

you are the retarded in this whole story as you are saying exactly what I said. I said he is NOT singing well live,no matter what reason, that's the truth.And another thing is that on his CDs the Backing vocals are amazing, but as a small band he's not having musicians who can play and sing with him. And I know he still kicks ass as I said I really love theirs songs. So you shud learn how to read and understand before replaying to a comment.

As a person who has studied music I know what I said

[StalePhish]

he sounds like he has a cold in this recording... but i saw him live last night and i was right up front and it was AMAZING

[elfaromeo]

he really puts his heart and soul into singing.. you can just feel it. wow.

[Ryuten]

Ah, every singers worst nightmare, a cold. He really is awesome live, but you can tell his voice is kinda raspy.

[alancarlosms]

I fucking love all his songs...

but he is not singing well live.

[confus3dHeart]

wooaaar i love it so damn. it is so fucking amazing. *__*

[edrick44]

did he get new members for his band though??

[arben0916]

hmmmm.. i listen and watch secondhand serenade every hour... every minute... every second..... and every milli second.... number 1..

[rTirTor]

I can't wait to see Secondhand Serenade again!..Secondhand Serenade = AWESOME =My Favorite!!!

[kikyoh8r]

love this song!

[jimthecardinal09]

...omg even better than i was expecting and believe me i was expecting a godly performance
