Well I think I have figured it out! All of this time I didn't know why "Harmony" was so powerful but it seems that my take on the song is this: Gord wrote that song about himself and his aging voice which he refers to as Harmony. "Have you gone away, have you gone to stay. And if you pass me by I will miss you" Sounds like he is looking for something within himself, searching for his "Harmony". "If you pass me by I will miss you" meaning that he will be lost when the day comes that he can no longer sing. "I'm holding on tight, do you read me write" Well this line refers to Gord's ability to sing the words that he writes. " Where have you gone, what have we done" That just sums up a lifetime of a man and his "Harmony". Well that's just my interpretation of the song.
