Harmonies are what carry the song. I am new to this thread and also to songwriting. A friend of mine let me go with her to an actual tracking session in Nashville. The songwriter was a professional songwriter by the name of Todd Ashburn. He and Glen Duncan the fiddle player were talking about the art of harmonies and how they pertain to the song. I was listening in pretty heavily and learned a few things while there. I have written some songs in the past that were pretty good but not great. Learning by listening to others if you get a chance, I believe, is very important and I will use this in the future. Thanks for the thread!! My new song I will enter in the contest. Maybe?
