Harmony analysis
Ertunç – Mahşer (Erdem Kınay): key and chord analysis
The song opens on Cm and ends on Cm. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
C minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it both starts and finishes on Cm and Cm is heard 7 times while Eb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 4 different chords appear 19 times in total; 4 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# Cm EbIV → vi CmVI → iVI → i ×4
- Gm Cm Ebiii → vi Cmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
The move to watch is G# → Cm, heard 4 times. From the Cm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the Eb side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — 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.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Cm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Cm, G#, Fm, Gm carry the song: vi–IV–ii–iii relative to Eb, i–VI–iv–v relative to Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on G# → Cm (IV → vi in Eb, VI → i in Cm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is Cm; the ear comes to rest in Cm.
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.
