Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm and Bbm is heard 4 times while Db never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 5 different chords appear 25 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
- Gb Ab DbIV → VIV → V BbmVI → VIIVI → VII ×4
- Fm Bbm Dbiii → vi Bbmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
- Ebm Ab Dbii → Vii → V Bbmiv → VII ×2
- Gb Bbm DbIV → vi BbmVI → iVI → i ×1
The move to watch is Gb → Ab, heard 4 times. From the Bbm side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the Db side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). 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 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.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Bbm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Gb, Ab, Fm, Bbm; read them as IV–V–iii–vi in Db or VI–VII–v–i in Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Gb → Ab (IV → V in Db, VI → VII in Bbm): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. It closes on Fm, letting the Db side have the last word.
