Harmony analysis

Duman – Seni Kendime Sakladım: key and chord analysis

The song opens on C# and ends on C. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Ab major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = G (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Db (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

F minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
#7 = E (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because Fm is heard 11 times while Ab never appears and the major V chord points straight at Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab 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 Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 4 different chords appear 41 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Fm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Ab, the same C is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Fm.

Chord movement

C Fm AbV/vi → vi FmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×11
A#m C Abii → V/vi Fmiv → Viv → V ×2

The move to watch is C → Fm, heard 11 times. From the Fm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Ab side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over C#, land on C#, E#, 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.
When C comes, swap the scale's Eb for E: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

The opening C# lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are C, C#, Fm, A#m; read them as V/vi–IV–vi–ii in Ab or V–VI–i–iv in Fm. C is the interesting twist: in Ab it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Fm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on C → Fm (V/vi → vi in Ab, V → i in Fm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on C, the song seals Ab as home.
