Harmony analysis
Murat Kekilli – Turnam: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Gm and ends on Gm. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.
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 both starts and finishes on Gm and Gm is heard 30 times against 8 for Bb. 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). 8 different chords appear 63 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Ab, Abmaj7 are borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
Chord movement
- Cm Gm Bbii → vi Gmiv → iminor plagal ×8
- F Gm BbV → videceptive cadence GmVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
- Eb Gm BbIV → vi GmVI → iVI → i ×2
- Eb Bb BbIV → Iplagal cadence GmVI → III ×1
- Dm Gm Bbiii → vi Gmv → inatural-minor cadence ×1
The move to watch is Cm → Gm, heard 8 times. From the Gm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Bb side it reads ii → vi. 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 Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- On Ab, follow the chord's notes (Ab · C · Eb) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Gm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Gm, Cm, Bb, Ab — vi–ii–I–bVII from the Bb side, i–iv–III–bII from the Gm side. Ab briefly darkens the picture: bvii — borrowed (mixolydian / parallel minor). Keep an ear on Cm → Gm (ii → vi in Bb, iv → i in Gm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is Gm; the ear comes to rest in Gm.
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.
