Harmony analysis
Ufuk Beydemir – İnsanlık: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Cm7 and ends on Gm7. 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)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it opens on Cm and Cm is heard 8 times while Eb never appears. 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.

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 27 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
- Gm7 Cm7 Ebiii7 → vi7 Cmv7 → i7natural-minor cadence ×6
- G# Cm7 EbIV → vi7 CmVI → i7VI → i ×1
The move to watch is Gm7 → Cm7, heard 6 times. From the Cm side it is v7 → i7 (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Eb side it reads iii7 → vi7. 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 Gm7, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm7, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Cm7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Gm7, Cm7, Fm, G#; read them as iii7–vi7–ii–IV in Eb or v7–i7–iv–VI in Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm7 → Cm7 (iii7 → vi7 in Eb, v7 → i7 in Cm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Gm7, the song seals Eb as home.
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.
