Harmony analysis
Emre Aydın – Sürpriz (Teoman): key and chord analysis
The song opens on E and ends on Am. Its chords belong to both E major and C#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
C# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = A (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = B (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E major side because it opens on E and E is heard 8 times against 6 for C#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from C# minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to E or to C#m; 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 E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 7 different chords appear 46 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Am, C are borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
Chord movement
- B C#m EV → videceptive cadence C#mVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- A B EIV → VIV → V C#mVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
- B E EV → Iauthentic cadence C#mVII → III ×3
- F#m B Eii → Vii → V C#miv → VII ×3
- Am E Eiv → Iminor plagal C#mvi → III ×1
The move to watch is B → C#m, heard 4 times. From the E side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected E, lands on C#m); from the C#m side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- E major pentatonic and C# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (E – F# – G# – B – C#): start from E for a brighter phrase, from C# for a bluesier one.
- Over B, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- On Am, follow the chord's notes (A · C · E) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on E, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is B, A, E, Am — V–IV–I–iv from the E side, VII–VI–III–vi from the C#m side. Am briefly darkens the picture: minor iv — borrowed from the parallel minor. Keep an ear on B → C#m (V → vi in E, VII → i in C#m): deceptive cadence — expected E, lands on C#m. The final chord is Am; the ear comes to rest in E.
