Harmony analysis

Göksel – Denize Bıraksam: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Em and ends on D. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

G major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

E minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = C (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = D (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between G major and E minor because it opens on Em and G is heard 6 times against 4 for Em. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 5 different chords appear 40 times in total; 5 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

Bm Em Giii → vi Emv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
D Em GV → videceptive cadence EmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1

The move to watch is Bm → Em, heard 2 times. From the G side it reads iii → vi; from the Em side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

G major pentatonic and E minor pentatonic are the same five notes (G – A – B – D – E): start from G for a brighter phrase, from E for a bluesier one.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Am, land on A, C, E — 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 Em; the ear learns where home is within a second. Bm, Am, G, Em carry the song: iii–ii–I–vi relative to G, v–iv–III–i relative to Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bm → Em (iii → vi in G, v → i in Em): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is D; the ear comes to rest in G.

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.
