Harmony analysis
Merve Özbey – Kül: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ebm and ends on Bbm. Its chords belong to both Gb major and Ebm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Eb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Cb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Db (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb minor side because it opens on Ebm and Ebm is heard 4 times against 2 for Gb. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

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 Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 6 different chords appear 31 times in total; 6 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
- B Gb GbIV → Iplagal cadence EbmVI → III ×2
- Abm Ebm Gbii → vi Ebmiv → iminor plagal ×1
- Bbm Ebm Gbiii → vi Ebmv → inatural-minor cadence ×1
- B Ebm GbIV → vi EbmVI → iVI → i ×1
The move to watch is B → Gb, heard 2 times. From the Ebm side it is VI → III; from the Gb side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Gb major pentatonic and Eb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Gb – Ab – Bb – Db – Eb): start from Gb for a brighter phrase, from Eb for a bluesier one.
- Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Abm, land on Ab, Cb, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over B, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Ebm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Bbm, Abm, B, Ebm — iii–ii–IV–vi from the Gb side, v–iv–VI–i from the Ebm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on B → Gb (IV → I in Gb, VI → III in Ebm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. The final chord is Bbm; the ear comes to rest in Gb.
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.
