Harmony analysis
Aslı – Su Gibi: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Cm and ends on Cm. 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 both starts and finishes on Cm and Cm is heard 16 times against 4 for Eb. 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.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 6 different chords appear 36 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Db is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
Chord movement
- Bb Cm EbV → videceptive cadence CmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- Bb Eb EbV → Iauthentic cadence CmVII → III ×2
- Ab Cm EbIV → vi CmVI → iVI → i ×2
The move to watch is Bb → Cm, heard 4 times. From the Cm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Eb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Eb, lands on Cm). 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 Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- On Db, follow the chord's notes (Db · F · Ab) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Cm, Bb, Ebm, Eb carry the song: vi–V–i–I relative to Eb, i–VII–iii–III relative to Cm. Db briefly darkens the picture: bvii — borrowed (mixolydian / parallel minor). Keep an ear on Bb → Cm (V → vi in Eb, VII → i in Cm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Cm.
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.
