Harmony analysis

Nev – Sükut-u Hayal: key and chord analysis

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

Major view

D major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

B minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = A (natural-minor colour)
#7 = A# (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 B minor side because it both starts and finishes on Bm, Bm is heard 15 times while D never appears and the major V chord points straight at Bm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D 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 D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 7 different chords appear 48 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Bm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from D, the same F# is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Bm. Bb is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.

Chord movement

Em Bm Dii → vi Bmiv → iminor plagal ×5
A Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
G A DIV → VIV → V BmVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
F# Bm DV/vi → vi BmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×3
Em A Dii → Vii → V Bmiv → VII ×2
Em F# Dii → V/vi Bmiv → Viv → V ×1

The move to watch is Em → Bm, heard 5 times. From the Bm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the D side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
When F# comes, swap the scale's A for A#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.
On Bb, follow the chord's notes (Bb · D · F) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Bm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Bm, A, Em, G carry the song: vi–V–ii–IV relative to D, i–VII–iv–VI relative to Bm. F# is the interesting twist: in D it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Bm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Em → Bm (ii → vi in D, iv → i in Bm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on Bm, letting the Bm side have the last word.

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.
