Deniz Seki – Nereden Bileceksiniz: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Bbm and ends on Fm. Its chords belong to both Db major and Bbm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Bb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Gb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Ab (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm and Bbm is heard 11 times while Db never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 42 times in total; 4 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
- Ab Bbm DbV → videceptive cadence BbmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- Gb Ab DbIV → VIV → V BbmVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
- Fm Bbm Dbiii → vi Bbmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
- Gb Bbm DbIV → vi BbmVI → iVI → i ×2
The move to watch is Ab → Bbm, heard 4 times. From the Bbm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Db side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Db, lands on Bbm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Db major pentatonic and Bb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Db – Eb – F – Ab – Bb): start from Db for a brighter phrase, from Bb for a bluesier one.
- Over Gb, land on Gb, Bb, Db — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bbm, land on Bb, Db, F — 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 Bbm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Gb, Bbm, Fm, Ab; read them as IV–vi–iii–V in Db or VI–i–v–VII in Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Bbm (V → vi in Db, VII → i in Bbm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Fm, the song seals Db 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.
