Fazıl Say – İnsan İnsan: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Dm and ends on Dm. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
D minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = C (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = C# (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 D minor side because it both starts and finishes on Dm, Dm is heard 23 times against 2 for F and the major V chord points straight at Dm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F 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 F or to Dm; 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 F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 5 different chords appear 45 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Dm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from F, the same A7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm.
Chord movement
- A7 Dm FV7/vi → visecondary resolution DmV7 → iharmonic-minor cadence ×8
- Gm Dm Fii → vi Dmiv → iminor plagal ×8
- C F FV → Iauthentic cadence DmVII → III ×2
- Gm C Fii → Vii → V Dmiv → VII ×2
The move to watch is A7 → Dm, heard 8 times. From the Dm side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the F side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: A7 resolves a fourth up to Dm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- F major pentatonic and D minor pentatonic are the same five notes (F – G – A – C – D): start from F for a brighter phrase, from D for a bluesier one.
- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over A7, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When A7 comes, swap the scale's C for C#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Dm, Gm, A7, C carry the song: vi–ii–V7/vi–V relative to F, i–iv–V7–VII relative to Dm. A7 is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on A7 → Dm (V7/vi → vi in F, V7 → i in Dm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Dm, letting the Dm side have the last word.
