“Love's Like Numbers”

With “Love’s Like Numbers,” Michael Behm delivers again. He has earned an international reputation as a pure pop singer/songwriter par excellence, and this dazzling new single ups the ante. A slice of pop nirvana, it features a melody you just can’t or won’t want to shake, and a clear and compelling message.

To Behm, the language of love is “very basic. Be clear in your mind about the type of experience you want to have with a person, and all your actions line up with that intention. ‘Love’s Like Numbers’ is about the simplicity of love.” With the perfect precision of a Japanese haiku, Behm makes his point in just 1 minute and 42 seconds.

“The optimum length is the one the song needs in order to convey the necessary energy,” he explains.

To drive his musical point home, Behm fully utilizes his multi-faceted skills as a singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He records all his material at a state of the art home studio on Vancouver Island, and makes no apologies for the classic ‘60s and ‘70s feel of his production. “That’s when the best ever music was created,” he says. “My brain has retained many different approaches to music over the years, and this is where I end up. I’m grateful for that, as I love that style of music and those techniques.”

It may have retro roots, but Michael Behm’s music possesses a contemporary relevance that has earned it a welcoming response from radio in North America, Europe and Australia. His previous single, “If I Could Learn To Fly,” recently topped both the Pop and Power Pop charts in Australia on mp3.au.com alongside No. 1 (Vancouver) and No. 2 (Canada) positions on the Reverb Nation chart.

The title track of Behm’s 2008 album Saving America scored notable airplay and media attention in the U.S., with its pointedly political subject matter confirming the breadth of his lyrical vision. His U.S. publishers, Rumblefish and Scorekeeper, are earning significant success in placements from his deep catalogue of song titles south of the border. Closer to home, B.C. adult contemporary radio station 99.7 The River is using Behm’s “Take Me Down To The River” as its theme, while Vancouver’s Rock 101 selected another Behm original as the theme for its popular Bro Jake Show.

Michael terms “Love’s Like Numbers” “the first of a new generation of songs of mine. I’ve been refining a simpler approach to songwriting, coming up with strong themes and focusing on them.” Here’s a song and an artist that really count.
