Harmony analysis
Emre Nalbantoğlu – Nuh'un Gemisi: 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 52 times while F never appears 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.

Analysis
The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 3 different chords appear 116 times in total; 2 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 A is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Dm.
Chord movement
- Gm Dm Fii → vi Dmiv → iminor plagal ×36
- A Dm FV/vi → vi DmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×14
- Gm A Fii → V/vi Dmiv → Viv → V ×6
The move to watch is Gm → Dm, heard 36 times. From the Dm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the F side it reads ii → vi. 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 A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When A comes, swap the scale's C for C#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Dm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Dm, Gm, A carry the song: vi–ii–V/vi relative to F, i–iv–V relative to Dm. A is the interesting twist: in F it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Dm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Gm → Dm (ii → vi in F, iv → i in Dm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on Dm, the song seals Dm 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.
