SPARK
 
I’m a spark, dear, I have become a ghazal 
my soul welcomes in what it finds beautiful
to the poured lead, and the evil eye it repels
woe be to a system like this 
 
it feels like there is a festival in my head
a number plate secured, a jug in my hand 
my nose says west but my heart is for the east
yet the dark invasion in the east wears a cowboy hat 
 
for how many generations have we failed the same class, unaware
our maths variable yet geography our fate
we dance, we sing folk songs to find our essence
yet the assembly call grabs us by the neck
 
well done to you
you’ve ruined me
and my youth has faded away
 
I’ve set my heart on this path
so is my freedom
not worthy of any mention here?
 
I’m a spark, dear, I am now scattered like broken leaves 
my soul welcomes in what it finds beautiful
to the poured lead and the evil eye it repels
woe be to a system like this
 
my soul’s eye never stoops to the ill-gotten
it walks the long path by foot
and there are many who damn
this mad instrument which speaks the truth
 
I neither curried favour nor did I feel regret
I was outcast I dressed myself in love
yet none hate the loudmouth 
who always gets the greasy bit
 
justice has become a weapon in man’s hand
we neither have a tale to tell, nor a room to tell it in
I hope god sends us some salvation with gratitude
my homeland! I hope you see the light of day! I really have had enough!
 
condemned to eat mere onions in my bread
what we need is peace and on a universal scale for that
you know how Rûmi said ‘come whatever you are’
the rest would be a lie, so humanity, resign!
 
my love is none of your business, alright?
once burnt by you
I am now forever shy 
 
don’t even have a gipon and there is a hole in my pocket
and sweety, I, too,
was born of a mother

Harmony analysis

Mabel Matiz – Uçkun: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Cm and ends on Gm. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Bb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = A (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Eb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

G minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = F (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it comes to rest on Gm and Gm is heard 22 times while Bb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb 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 Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 4 different chords appear 54 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

F Gm BbV → videceptive cadence GmVII → iAeolian arrival ×13
Cm F Bbii → Vii → V Gmiv → VII ×12
Dm Gm Bbiii → vi Gmv → inatural-minor cadence ×5

The move to watch is F → Gm, heard 13 times. From the Gm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Bb side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Bb, lands on Gm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Gm, F, Cm, Dm carry the song: vi–V–ii–iii relative to Bb, i–VII–iv–v relative to Gm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F → Gm (V → vi in Bb, VII → i in Gm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Gm, the song seals Gm 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.
