Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F major side because F is heard 8 times while Dm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from D minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; 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.

The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 3 different chords appear 21 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. G acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is C → F, heard 8 times. From the F side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Dm side it is VII → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The first chord is C; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is C, F, G — V–I–V/V from the F side, VII–III–IV from the Dm side. G adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to C. Keep an ear on C → F (V → I in F, VII → III in Dm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. The final chord is C; the ear comes to rest in F.
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.
