Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 8 different chords appear 53 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bb acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×5
- Eb Fm AbV → videceptive cadence FmVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
- Bbm Eb Abii → Vii → V Fmiv → VII ×2
- Cm Fm Abiii → vi Fmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
The move to watch is Eb → Ab, heard 5 times. From the Ab side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Fm side it is VII → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Fm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Cm, Ab, Fm, Eb — iii–I–vi–V from the Ab side, v–III–i–VII from the Fm side. Bb adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to Eb. Keep an ear on Eb → Ab (V → I in Ab, VII → III in Fm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on Cm, the song seals Ab 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.
