Harmony analysis
Sıfır KM – Zalim: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Cm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.
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 both starts and finishes on Cm and Cm is heard 16 times against 2 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.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 8 different chords appear 49 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Dm step outside the scale as colour chords.
Chord movement
- Gm Cm Ebiii → vi Cmv → inatural-minor cadence ×7
- Ab Cm EbIV → vi CmVI → iVI → i ×6
- Fm A# Ebii → Vii → V Cmiv → VII ×2
- Fm Bb Ebii → Vii → V Cmiv → VII ×2
- A# D# EbV → Iauthentic cadence CmVII → III ×1
- Bb Cm EbV → videceptive cadence CmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
The move to watch is Gm → Cm, heard 7 times. From the Cm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Eb side it reads iii → 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 Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Cm, Fm, Ab, Gm — vi–ii–IV–iii from the Eb side, i–iv–VI–v from the Cm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gm → Cm (iii → vi in Eb, v → i in Cm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. 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.
