Harmony analysis
Deniz Tekin – Hep Oturup Bekledim: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Db and ends on Db. 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 Db major side because it both starts and finishes on Db and Db is heard 27 times against 14 for Bbm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from Bb minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 5 different chords appear 73 times in total; 5 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 Db DbV → Iauthentic cadence BbmVII → III ×16
- Gb Ab DbIV → VIV → V BbmVI → VIIVI → VII ×16
The move to watch is Ab → Db, heard 16 times. From the Db side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Bbm side it is VII → III. 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 Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Gb, land on Gb, Bb, Db — 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.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Db; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Db, Gb, Ab, Bbm; read them as I–IV–V–vi in Db or III–VI–VII–i in Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Db (V → I in Db, VII → III in Bbm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on Db, 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.
