Harmony analysis
Candan Erçetin – Annem: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Gm and ends on Gm. Its chords belong to both B major and G#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = E (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F# (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = G (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 G# minor side because the major V chord points straight at G#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B 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 B or to G#m; 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 B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 5 different chords appear 28 times in total; 0 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of G#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull. D is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
Chord movement
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
Improvisation tips
- B major pentatonic and G# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (B – C# – D# – F# – G#): start from B for a brighter phrase, from G# for a bluesier one.
- Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When Eb comes, swap the scale's F# for G: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.
- On D, follow the chord's notes (D · F# · A) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Gm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Gm, Cm, D, F carry the song: bvi–bii–bIII–#IV relative to B, #vii–#iii–#IV–#VI relative to G#m. Eb is the interesting twist: in B it is a chromatic chord (III), while in G#m it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. It closes on Gm, letting the B 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.
