I also wanna learn it, so you dont hafta lug it around and stuff, you can just keep it in your pocket. And also it keeps you away from boredom! How do you even learn harmonica? Do you just look at where to place your lips and stuff?

Minority is really easy.
Theres a bend in Hold On and I really do not know how to do those.
B means blow as in to blow the air in and D means Draw as in to sort of suck the air in just in case you dont know.

On your harmonica all the holes are numbered 1 is the lowest note and 9 is the highest.
For minority its :
5B 4D 5D 5B 4D 4B
4B 3D 4D 4B 3D 3B
So with the first note you would cover hole 4 and hole 5 with your lips and blow the air out.
Then with the next note you would cover holes 3 and 4 with your lips and draw the air in. Which is what the Bs and Ds mean blow or draw.

Is that any clearer?

well try playing it with just one hole at a time
5B 4D 5D 5B 4D 4B
My theory is on the song he plays the riff with using one hole then again using the 2 and theyr sorta layered on top of each other cause I can hear both.

... but then again I might just be crazy.

I can't actually play (tried, failed, little sis broke my harmonica, never bought another).

Howevern, I know that to bend notes, you have to pull your tongue down into your throat, if you get what I mean.

If you relax your tongue, then imagine trying to pull it down your throat by the base of it, as though you're trying to push the bottom of you mouth into your neck with your tongue. It kinda gets drawn into the very back of your mouth lik that, and if you get it right, it bends the note downwards.
