Harmony analysis
Bülent Ersoy – Aşktan Sabıkalı: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Bm and ends on F#m. Its chords belong to both D major and Bm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
B minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = A (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = A# (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 B minor side because it opens on Bm, Bm is heard 13 times against 7 for D and the major V chord points straight at Bm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D 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 D or to Bm; 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 D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 7 different chords appear 98 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Bm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from D, the same F# is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Bm.
Chord movement
- Em A Dii → Vii → V Bmiv → VII ×14
- F#m Bm Diii → vi Bmv → inatural-minor cadence ×9
- A D DV → Iauthentic cadence BmVII → III ×7
- Em F# Dii → V/vi Bmiv → Viv → V ×2
- F# Bm DV/vi → vi BmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×1
- A Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×1
The move to watch is Em → A, heard 14 times. From the Bm side it is iv → VII; from the D side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When F# comes, swap the scale's A for A#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Bm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Em, A, F#m, G; read them as ii–V–iii–IV in D or iv–VII–v–VI in Bm. F# is the interesting twist: in D it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Bm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Em → A (ii → V in D, iv → VII in Bm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on F#m, letting the D side have the last word.
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.
