Harmony analysis

İmera – İmera Fera (Gün Işığım): key and chord analysis

The song opens on Gm and ends on Gm. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Bb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = A (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Eb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

G minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = F (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it both starts and finishes on Gm and Gm is heard 31 times against 22 for Bb. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Bb or to Gm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 5 different chords appear 100 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

F Gm BbV → videceptive cadence GmVII → iAeolian arrival ×13
F Bb BbV → Iauthentic cadence GmVII → III ×11
Cm F Bbii → Vii → V Gmiv → VII ×11
Eb F BbIV → VIV → V GmVI → VIIVI → VII ×8
Eb Gm BbIV → vi GmVI → iVI → i ×2

The move to watch is F → Gm, heard 13 times. From the Gm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Bb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Bb, lands on Gm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Gm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Gm, F, Bb, Cm carry the song: vi–V–I–ii relative to Bb, i–VII–III–iv relative to Gm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F → Gm (V → vi in Bb, VII → i in Gm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Gm, the song seals Gm as home.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
