In music, harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches (tones, notes), or chords. The study of harmony involves chords and their construction and chord progressions and the principles of connection that govern them. Harmony is often said to refer to the "vertical" aspect of music, as distinguished from melodic line, or the "horizontal" aspect.Counterpoint, which refers to the interweaving of melodic lines, and polyphony, which refers to the relationship of separate independent voices, are thus sometimes distinguished from harmony.
In popular and jazz harmony, chords are named by their root plus various terms and characters indicating their qualities. In many types of music, notably baroque, romantic, modern and jazz, chords are often augmented with "tensions". A tension is an additional chord member that creates a relatively dissonant interval in relation to the bass. Typically, in the classical Common practice period a dissonant chord (chord with tension) will "resolve" to a consonant chord. Harmonization usually sounds pleasant to the ear when there is a balance between the consonant and dissonant sounds. In simple words, that occurs when there is a balance between "tense" and "relaxed" moments.
As I watch you slide away
I cannot let you slip away
But I know now nothing I say
Will make you come back to me
Baby it's you
Who I'm devoted to
Please don't go away
Cause I don't believe that deep down
You really don't wanna stay
And as I watch you slide away
I cannot let you slip away
But I know now nothing I say
Will make you come back to me
Baby it's me
Who's always loved thee
Come back to me
Cause I can't believe for one second
That you're gonna leave me
And as I watch you slide away
I cannot let you slip away
But I know now nothing I say
Will make you come back to me
Baby it's you
Who I'll always be true to
Just say you'll stay
Cause if you go away I'll lose my mind
And I will go astray
And as I watch you slide away
I cannot let you slip away
But I know now nothing I say
Will make you come back to me
As I watch you slide away
I cannot let you slip away
But I know now nothing I say
