Joshua Tree era.

[fallimentiquotidiani]

I have climbed highest mountains

I have run through the fields

Only to be with you

Only to be with you

I have run

I have crawled

I have scaled these city walls

These city walls

Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips

Felt the healing in her fingertips

It burned like fire

This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels

I have held the hand of a devil

It was warm in the night

I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come

Then all the colors will bleed into one

Bleed into one

But yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds

And you loosed the chains

Carried the cross

Of my shame

Oh my shame

You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

“Where The Streets Have No Name” opening — piano reduction arranged by me; transcribed from The Joshua Tree recording via dictation

I do not want to talk about how late I stayed up dictating the Streets opening ! ! I believe it has been described as a “wall of sound” which makes sense, as all these individual pitches blend together so seamlessly in the recording it really does just sound like one all-encompassing Noise. This is a great thing in my eyes, as it further proves the point of the Roman numeral analysis I’m working on. Of course, the actual chord progression happening here works to obscure the song’s home key, which ties in with the whole album’s discussion of place and belonging. BUT the voice leading and organization of pitches, the adding and omitting of certain pitches, etc. also play a huge role in the emotional appeal of these chords—individual pitches, too, are obscured. UGH I love it! It made the process of picking out notes one by one and putting them onto a piece of sheet music all the more thrilling.

Consider this a sneak peak of the aforementioned Roman numeral analysis. I wanted to be sure I provide an audio reference of the transcription I’ll be using to analyze Streets, but didn’t want you all to suffer through the crispy MuseScore MIDI piano audio. Besides, I think much of this particular song’s emotional impact comes from the interaction between person and instrument. So, I recorded myself playing it.

I’ve got a few more things to put into MuseScore and some evidence to gather from an essay on TJT, and then I’ll be putting my analysis together!

I should mention: piano is NOT my primary instrument, so if there are any piano primaries watching this, I apologize, haha.
