Harmony analysis
Elyas ve Taha – Şehrimin Işıkları (Alperen Özbay): key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ebm and ends on Db. Its chords belong to both Gb major and Ebm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Eb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Cb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Db (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb minor side because it opens on Ebm and Ebm is heard 12 times while Gb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 3 different chords appear 40 times in total; 3 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
- Db Ebm GbV → videceptive cadence EbmVII → iAeolian arrival ×11
- Bmaj7 Db GbIVmaj7 → VIV → V EbmVImaj7 → VIIVI → VII ×8
The move to watch is Db → Ebm, heard 11 times. From the Ebm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Gb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Gb, lands on Ebm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Gb major pentatonic and Eb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Gb – Ab – Bb – Db – Eb): start from Gb for a brighter phrase, from Eb for a bluesier one.
- Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bmaj7, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Ebm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Db, Ebm, Bmaj7; read them as V–vi–IVmaj7 in Gb or VII–i–VImaj7 in Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Db → Ebm (V → vi in Gb, VII → i in Ebm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Db; the ear comes to rest in Gb.
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.
