Harmony analysis
Ari Barokas – Nafile: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Cm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
C minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = B (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it both starts and finishes on Cm, Cm is heard 25 times against 10 for Eb and the major V chord points straight at Cm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 4 different chords appear 60 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Cm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Eb, the same G is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Cm.
Chord movement
- G Cm EbV/vi → vi CmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×10
- Fm Cm Ebii → vi Cmiv → iminor plagal ×10
The move to watch is G → Cm, heard 10 times. From the Cm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Eb side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over G, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Eb, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When G comes, swap the scale's Bb for B: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Cm, G, Eb, Fm — vi–V/vi–I–ii from the Eb side, i–V–III–iv from the Cm side. G is the interesting twist: in Eb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Cm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on G → Cm (V/vi → vi in Eb, V → i in Cm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Cm, letting the Cm side have the last word.
