Harmony analysis

Derya Uluğ – Kanunlar Gibi: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

Db major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

  • 7 = C (leading tone, pulls home)
  • 4 = Gb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

Bb minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

  • b6 = Gb (the minor's melancholy)
  • b7 = Ab (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db 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 Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 29 times in total; 4 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

  1. Ebm Bbm Dbii → vi Bbmiv → iminor plagal ×6

The move to watch is Ebm → Bbm, heard 6 times. From the Bbm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Db side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

  • Db major pentatonic and Bb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Db – Eb – F – Ab – Bb): start from Db for a brighter phrase, from Bb for a bluesier one.
  • Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
  • Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
  • Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song on the circle of fifths

  • Played in the song — chord of the key
  • Played — the minor's harmonic V or a secondary dominant
  • Played — borrowed or outside chord
  • Home region: IV–I–V and ii–vi–iii

Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.

    The song's harmonic story

    Starting on Bbm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Ebm, Bbm, Db, Gb; read them as ii–vi–I–IV in Db or iv–i–III–VI in Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ebm → Bbm (ii → vi in Db, iv → i in Bbm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Ebm; the ear comes to rest in Db.

    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.
