Harmony analysis

Kygo – Firestone (Conrad Sewell): key and chord analysis

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

Major view

D major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = C# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = G (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

B minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = A (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it both starts and finishes on Bm and Bm is heard 30 times against 22 for D. 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). 5 different chords appear 120 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

G A DIV → VIV → V BmVI → VIIVI → VII ×26
A Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×15
A D DV → Iauthentic cadence BmVII → III ×11
Em Bm Dii → vi Bmiv → iminor plagal ×1

The move to watch is G → A, heard 26 times. From the Bm side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the D 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

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 A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over G, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are A, Bm, G, D; read them as V–vi–IV–I in D or VII–i–VI–III in Bm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on G → A (IV → V in D, VI → VII in Bm): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. Ending on Bm, the song seals Bm 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.
