Harmony analysis
Ayliva – Wahrend Du: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Dm and ends on G. Its chords belong to both C major and Am, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
A minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = F (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = G (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because Am is heard 24 times while C never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from C 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 C or to Am; 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 C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 6 different chords appear 66 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. D acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- F Am CIV → vi AmVI → iVI → i ×21
- Dm Am Cii → vi Amiv → iminor plagal ×1
The move to watch is F → Am, heard 21 times. From the Am side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the C side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- C major pentatonic and A minor pentatonic are the same five notes (C – D – E – G – A): start from C for a brighter phrase, from A for a bluesier one.
- Over Am, land on A, C, E — 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 G, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Am, F, G, Dm; read them as vi–IV–V–ii in C or i–VI–VII–iv in Am. D adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to G. Keep an ear on F → Am (IV → vi in C, VI → i in Am): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is G; the ear comes to rest in C.
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.
