Here’s a link to the YouTube video:
In this video, Ricky Molina reviews the use of pedal note suspension chord progressions in 4 of his favorite songs:
Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp,
Evergreen by Barbra Streisand,
Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out to Dry by Frank Sinatra (orchestration and arrangement by Nelson Riddle), and
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera.
Ricky shows how pedal notes can be used to anchor a song while giving a sense of meandering – that ultimately seeks to resolve to the tonic chord, usually a major chord.
