By example, please accept these, (in place of even more words trying to describe the details of building the harmonies in various ways as the songs go, and/or for backing examples along with double tracking the lead, with or without harmony in spots):

"All Over Again"

"Lennon, More Than A Memory"

"Love All There Is"

My rule is to try to make it all interesting, with some twists and turns. After the lead, I'll follow up with any double tracking. Then, I'll experiment up and down with the lead and any backing parts with any notes at first, until the final sounds excites me. (always open for 6th's, 7th's and 9ths). Usually, I'll save something for the later part of the songs. My falsetto gives me a wide range, which I'll try counter melodies with it while in a steady two or three part backing vocals.
