Harmony analysis

Özer Atik – Yalan Sanırım (Tolga Çevik): 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)
#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 both starts and finishes on Bm, Bm is heard 9 times while D never appears 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). 4 different chords appear 21 times in total; 3 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

F# Bm DV/vi → vi BmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×6
Em F# Dii → V/vi Bmiv → Viv → V ×4

The move to watch is F# → Bm, heard 6 times. From the Bm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the D side it reads V/vi → vi. 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 Bm, land on B, D, F# — 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 Em, land on E, G, B — 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 opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Bm, F#, Em, G — vi–V/vi–ii–IV from the D side, i–V–iv–VI from the Bm side. 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 F# → Bm (V/vi → vi in D, V → i in Bm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Bm, letting the Bm side have the last word.
