Harmony analysis

Ali Baran – Kapındaki Narmidur: 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.

Major view

Bb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = A (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Eb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

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 28 times against 14 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). 4 different chords appear 56 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. C step outside the scale as colour chords.

Chord movement

Cm Gm Bbii → vi Gmiv → iminor plagal ×12

The move to watch is Cm → Gm, heard 12 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 Bb, land on Bb, D, F — 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.

The song's harmonic story

The opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Gm, Bb, Cm, C; read them as vi–I–ii–II in Bb or i–III–iv–IV in Gm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. 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.
