[Music]
their intros are just so
[Music]
good I have G
highest
mountain I have
run through the fields only let to be
with
you all L to be with
you I have
run I have
craw I have
scal the city walls this city walls
[Music]
only let to be with
you but
[Music]
still
looking the cor progression
is 4 1 54 1 you know they're not
Reinventing anything here and yet it's
so excellent to my ears and it moves me
and I must know why
um okay so this one's in CP
[Music]
major
sorry okay but the intro this kind of
like intro Fad in which I feel is the
same for where the streets have no name
it doesn't just start on the downbeat it
kind of feels like like the song has
always been there and you just like
walked up to it when whenever you happen
to walk up to it is when you start
hearing it and so um that's part of the
spaciousness and the vastness you know
in this album was inspired by their like
basically love of America touring so
much in America um so you know it
definitely is a celebration of that and
um I think given the title given the the
the cover art you know them being the
desert uh this does feel almost vast in
the way a desert does
um tambourine very Tastefully used here
I don't always love the sound of the
tambourine but this works really well
it's more in a folky way I think that I
like but isn't the edge just playing one
freaking note and it's so
good
yeah so
good I believe there is a emphasis
pattern that he's
playing
duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck
what a master class in just like accents
you know um and delays delays Rule and
and this is the note this is the Cs this
is establishing our key Center and then
the other guitar comes in with just to
you know really drive it home but the
sound of the guitar that comes in sounds
like it has some really nice harmonics
on
it either it has a lot of harmonics on
it or they're literally playing
A fifth or a fourth or something but it
I don't know what do you
[Music]
think four love that no flashy fill just
a snare on four to go like and here we
go it's perfect these drums are so again
very like kind of uh sparse pulsating
four on the floor kind of drums what he
does though between the fours on the
floors is just fantastic
the he'll he'll do these like faster
eighth note kicks in between and then
sometimes he'll put a snare on like a
like a right before the beat and then we
also have
that which is just
sorry which is the home home of the kyin
and the fifth which is kind of like it's
the yin to its
Yang and this is a perfect setup for
anything it's almost like the skeleton
of a song The
Bass is again it's sort of moving with
the kick
drum feel
man and I love how he puts a kick with
the SN
[Music]
no hat only to be with
you only to be with
you there was one of those
snares also I want to point out that
this has kind of a blues progression I
wouldn't say that scales being used are
bluesy but the one 41 541 is kind of a
blues progression and the base is kind
of doing something that I would
associate with blu's base figures which
is he takes
this exact figure and then just starts
it on the root of the next chord which
would
be this
one
sorry see exact same thing Bono is kind
of giving
the he's filling in the uh the hearts of
the chords that are sort of being left
open by the rest of the
instrumentation that's the major third
of this
chord that sixth feels so free to me
it's it's such a it doesn't have this
strong tether to any other note it's
it's kind of got this loose Placid
feeling to me and so I love how free it
sounds when he sings
that really sounds like a
[Music]
mountain hang
[Music]
on you another sixth of this
chord but you notice that even though
this isn't technically called a
suspension it still has that same sort
of like above where we want to resolve
kind of feeling of like I'm swinging out
and then I'm coming home I love that be
with you and the repetition of the lines
at the end of these phrases are really
cool be with you only to be with you but
this time
the is now relating to this chord cuz
that's where it lands and it has a
little bit of a different meaning this
time it's not a sixth from the root it's
a second which is really dissonant and
that's that ninth sorry seconds and
ninths are the same thing basically
[Music]
but that is a
[Music]
suspension looser only
two more
tender it hurts a little
bit and then after another repetition
then we get uh the chorus which is going
to go to the five but I still haven't
found what I'm looking
for and I like how quickly these chords
the harmonic Rhythm of the chords cuz
everything's been moving very
slowly I have
CRA I have
scal these C walls these C
wall
beautiful I'll let to be with notice how
he sings the you know the city walls the
city walls he's got definitely more
power behind the delivery of those lines
so that he can kind of pull back on only
to be with you it's beautiful there's so
much push and pull in terms of the
expression and Dynamics uh in this album
so
far but still
found what I'm looking for vocal
harmonies but I still haven't
found what I'm looking
for and I think I figured this out
before um Still Haven't Found fth What
I'm Looking
For yeah all the things that normally
make me go are like missing and yet it
makes me
go how beautiful there is another artist
who can do this to me so I know it's not
just
Nostalgia uh kishy bosi fiddle player
and electronic Looper
[Music]
genius it's so it's interesting to hear
something so homey meaning like so
harmonically gratifying and yet the line
is I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For so it's like there's almost
a feeling of he's saying that he's not
home but he is some people interpret
lyrics I interpret chord progressions
and intervals I make up a whole story
about those NS all right let's get to
the bridge because there's some really
cool stuff that happens there I have
that's a folky thing isn't
it or country
[Music]
thing this F
Des I have smoke with t
Angels i h the hand of a devil was one
the
night I was go as a stone
vocal harmonies on that are so
pretty looking
for but I
still
have
[Music]
okay oh okay is that a tremolo or
something
or the layering of the guitars here is
just oh and
then oh it's not
yet it's later okay it's at the end um I
love that this is kind of what they did
with like the bridge essentially is they
just kept the train going right no huge
drastic changes the core progression is
the same the drums are the same they
just sort of took out the
vocals and maybe
the and kind of let the other layer
shine a bit and they're all so Exquisite
to me you have the um I mean I
definitely hear an acoustic oh gosh
maybe I don't I don't know but there's
some guitar that I think is an acoustic
guitar that's muted and it's creating
these subdivisions and that's what he
did that's what the Ed did with the
other track I don't know why I can't
seem to remember the name of the song
which is ridiculous where the streets
have no name yeah um of just kind of
hitting
the you know he kind of did that with
the other one which was
faster
um and creates a a rhythmic um
subdivision with the guitar as opposed
to something
harmonic and but the texture that he
chooses is always so unusual to me I
don't know something about it's really
cool so he's got that one going on then
I kind of hear a guitar that's
like like maybe a tremolo or something
sounds really cool and then there's one
that's doing
like really pure tone kind of singing
almost theramin like over everything and
then I think there wasn't even another
layer okay so we got the acoustic going
J and just straight up playing the these
chords
suspension again ooh okay starting to
pick up on a
theme but then there's the other
guitar and there's
a we got these
and I love
it and there's almost like this organ
swell kind of sound that comes in right
at the very end of this as like a
transition element that like kind of uh
gently uh grows into the next verse
little details
man are you the cutest cat in the
world
yeah you the kingom come then all the
col
bleed into war bleed into
war but yes I'm still
running you br the BS and lose the
chain chains I love
[Music]
that lots of vocal harmonies on this I
there's another KNE you know you know I
[Music]
believe so
beautiful
still
found what I'm looking
for oh nice symbol crash right there
on the
[Music]
four the way he I I don't know I love
these details the way he plays the snare
in
between something is it the snare and a
kick tck tick did you hear that such a
tasteful cool
[Music]
feel
[Applause]
oh oh that's what it is Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For that's the
vocal Harmony Line I invented what I'm
looking for because I liked it but
that's not what they do Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For beautiful um
so this is the part where yeah the main
vocal line kind of joins and doubles the
Harmony and makes it the melody
something about it that it feels like
they them coming together feels even
more like homey and like like this is
the part where he would look you
straight in the eye and say like I still
haven't found I'm looking for there's
just like something so focused about
it but I
still I'm looking for
[Music]
at the very end of this Fade
[Music]
Out oh
wait slide and
then I love that
[Music]
oh my God I could listen to that outro
for however long they they actually
played I wish that would just go on and
on and on but again fading it in and
fading it out makes it feel like you
walked past the song right like you
walked into it you experienced it and
then you kept moving forward which also
gives it that feeling of like you're
searching right you haven't found what
you're looking for it's just beautiful
okay well that's the end of this video
