Harmony analysis
Güney Marlen – Önce Seni Sonra Kendimi: 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.
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 17 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). 5 different chords appear 59 times in total; 3 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. C# acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- F# Bm DV/vi → vi BmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×8
- Em Bm Dii → vi Bmiv → iminor plagal ×5
The move to watch is F# → Bm, heard 8 times. From the Bm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the D side it reads V/vi → 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 C#, land on C#, E#, G# — 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.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Bm, C#, Em, G; read them as vi–V/iii–ii–IV in D or i–V/v–iv–VI in Bm. C# is the interesting twist: in D it is a chromatic chord (V/iii), while in Bm it becomes the dominant (V/v) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F# → Bm (V/vi → vi in D, V → i in Bm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on Bm, the song seals Bm as home.
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.
