Discovered a new song.
The feeling that young people enjoy.

I found that this song has a constantly repeating note from beginning to end.
B A D A

The four notes of B、A、D、A are constantly repeated, but the chords are changing.

How do you usually find these repeated notes? It can accommodate different chords, but it's still very comfortable.

One can usually play notes 1, 2, 3, 5 or 6 over any major chord without conflict, or
notes 1, 2, b3, 4, 5 or 6 over any minor chord without conflict,
so provided the notes A, B and D are one of the above in each chord, they'll usually work just fine.

Of course one can play any note one likes, it depends upon how much dissonance/tension one is happy with.

thank you. The major chord 12356 mentioned here

Minor chords 1, 2, b3, 4, 5

I'm not quite sure if you're referring to the tonic scale or the notes above the root note of this chord?

Can you explain in C major and C minor?

I only made it a little farther than that before I heard chords, and I'm still not sure there is more than one here. The notes (not in the order you named them) are just a motif.

Well, I listened to it all the way through. Not my jam, but...

Online sources suggest the chords are Bm, Em and G. The notes B, A and D "fit" over those chords while creating a repeating kaleidoscope of tension and release.

To your question of "How do you usually find these repeated notes?"...

I find motifs by listening to the harmonic movement and overlaying my musical ideas. Sometimes the motif will not change, sometimes a note or two will change to provide a musical twist that I like.

The idea of a repeating melodic line has a lot of contexts, not all of them modern. Springsteen's "Born in the USA" is basically one melodic line played over two chords. Worked for him.

Good luck!

Sorry. Notes from the root of the chord.

I listened to it and I will steal Notes' famous line, "that is music for someone else's ears"!
