a good song is

in nashville they say

three chords & The Truth

That phrase, most often credited to legendary songwriter Harlan Howard, has echoed through writing rooms, recording booths, and late-night conversations for decades. It’s both a motto and a manifesto that crosses genres from country music to punk rock. Songs built on three chords and the truth aren’t always tidy or perfect, but they’re grounded, gutsy, and full of soul.
