"Modern Day Tragedy" New sonic high water mark!
As I was into the last hours of a mix that started last Friday I did not know if this track was crap or not. I finished it last night at midnight I was all alone. I thought about all the many people who have made this track what it has become and was grateful.
The song has come a long way from writing it with Ralph Murphy at my dinner table with an acoustic guitar. To tracking the drums with Randal Stoll and my production team at the Warehouse with my long-time friend and partner Delwyn Brooks, an amazing talent! The song took me back to my studio, recording bass and keyboards with John Dryden and Andrew Lorimer. Finally the string arrangement by Christian Howes was done at Berklee.
We removed, edited and revised the arrangement to stay on point. “It’s all about the little girl”
Delwyn returned to mix the track with me for a few two days sessions.
Here I am sending it to you all I have to say is “I can stand behind it and now own it”

About Me

- Michael Behm The good times are rolling for Michael Behm four months after releasing “Saving America,” the first single off his forthcoming album of the same name. One major cause of celebration for the singer-songwriter and concerned citizen: Barak Obama has been elected to the White House and Americans have begun the job of saving their own bacon following eight years of the Bush presidency. On a personal level, Behm is absolutely pumped over the response to the meticulously crafted “Saving America” – a stirring, guitar-fuelled call for change, renewed optimism and fresh hope from a Canadian to his friends and neighbours south of the border. Positive reviews, on-line streaming via services like Australia’s mp3.com and Reverb Nation, and now a rush of adds from U.S. community radio stations are building momentum for a melodic original bristling with memorable hooks and a historic sample from one of John F. Kennedy landmark speeches. “Bless the man, he delivers,” writes Notlame Music’s Bruce Brodeen in comparing Behm to such U.S. rock-pop icons as Jason Falkner and the Rembrandts. “Really smart power pop,” adds a reviewer for Sweden’s Melodic.net
