Creating Harmonies!

I'm still very new to creating lovely ear-tingling harmonies. Alot of the time, my direction turns out sounding flat and I have to try all sorts of things to make the harmony in a song sound like it fits.

I don't like copying the original harmonies from the Japanese versions for some reason...
I prefer 3-part harmonies; which means, 3 tracks of harmonies that meld together to sound more like 1 1/2 tracks~ haha

I've gotten many tips about how to create harmony but I suppose it goes with being partially tone-deaf that I wouldn't be able to figure out what sound is 'flat or sharp and only one half step above or below the melody'. That is just too difficult for me! No thanks! XD

I just posted Motherland the other day~ now I'll post a version with the harmonies louder than the melody so that you can hear how they sound clearly. Some parts don't sound as fluid as others- but I feel like it was a pretty good attempt and really reflects my own personal style.
Enjoy!

English Lyrics by: kolidescope - YT i.d (Christie)

On the day I saw you walk away,
I just smiled and let you go,
Told you I would be waiting....
Everyday believing there's a way,
That you and I would someday meet again.

So I'm here and trying to get by,
Have to trust in love, until my wish comes true.
Until then, all I can do is smile,
While I wait at night, underneath the light,
Of the stars above, But I will be here for you!

I wish I could be your sky forever always watching over you,
Be your comfort, be the shelter from your pain!
And whenever I look up I want to know that
You're looking with me.
That I'm not alone, though you are far away.....

Let this be the place where you'll come home to stay....

EVERYTHING IS BROKEN! YARR!

Both of my computers got the same nasty virus... not sure how! I'm still investigating!
At any rate~ the computer I use to mix died last week. I mean 'died' as in...I booted it up and it beeped at me and said it was dead.
haha
My laptop is still functioning for now, but I can tell there's still something wrong with it. It needs some medicine or a hot water bottle or something!! That's what I take when I'm dying and it usually helps. Then again, I'm only half robot and a computer is 100%, so I guess the same methods wouldn't apply.

As for projects~ everything is on hold for now.
I'm sick, but getting better and hope to get a head start on a few things before the start of May.

Are some people on a break from school?! WHAT?! The break is over?! DAMN!
Hope the break was good to y'all~ and anyone who didn't have a break-- too bad for you! Do something productive! Like... uhh... sitting on the computer and watching season 3 of Roswell on Netflix... -__-, no, wait... that's what I'm doing and it's not productive at all...

Where is my brain today?!

Bye! <3
