DEREK SALLMANN – All Seasons
Is life an adventure? The answer to this question is, yes. Life is an unpredictable adventure according to an unsigned pop singer-songwriter out of Waukesha, Wisconsin named Derek Sallmann. This thoughtful pop singer-songwriter sings heartfelt songs about being afraid of failure, staying close to one’s roots, and coping with a broken relationship while sounding similar to Counting Crows with his gritty vocals and rustic pop melodies that sound like children who are happily playing in a large pile of leaves on a crisp fall day. Derek Sallmann will release his debut CD “All Seasons” featuring ten soul stirring tracks that will tug at one’s heart strings.
The unpredictable adventure called life begins with uncertainty looming in the tension filled track “Afraid to Fall.” This track features soulful vocals and fluttering pop melodies that sound like mourning doves are singing a sad song on a rainy day. This track is an anxiety ridden tale about a man who is a little bit of a perfectionist. The thoughtful man wants to put his best foot forward and is afraid to make mistakes. The thoughtful man is afraid that if he makes mistakes he will be made to feel like an outcast in society. Meanwhile, the unpredictable adventure called life continues with deep reflection occurring in the passionate track “Storm.” This track features gritty vocals and rustic pop melodies that sound like a blizzard is about to occur. This track is a heart wrenching tale about a man who wants to come back home after a series of rough life experiences which happened outside of his comfort zone. The man is longing to spend some quality time with his family and friends.
Finally, the unpredictable adventure called life ends under a blanket of clouds in the heartbreaking track “Broken by Words. This track features sorrowful vocals and weeping pop melodies that sound like a person’s heart has been shattered into one million pieces. This track is a sad tale about a once loving couple who has deeply hurt one another’s feelings by the painful words that they have said to each other. So now, the couple’s broken relationship suffers in a cold silence.
