Minor view
C minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it comes to rest on Cm and Cm is heard 32 times against 3 for Eb. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 4 different chords appear 69 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
- Fm Cm Ebii → vi Cmiv → iminor plagal ×21
- Bb Cm EbV → videceptive cadence CmVII → iAeolian arrival ×10
- Fm Bb Ebii → Vii → V Cmiv → VII ×1
The move to watch is Fm → Cm, heard 21 times. From the Cm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Eb side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — 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.
- Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Bb, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Cm, Fm, Bb, Eb; read them as vi–ii–V–I in Eb or i–iv–VII–III in Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Fm → Cm (ii → vi in Eb, iv → i in Cm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Cm.
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.
