Here are a few patterns to play with: i → iv → VII → IIImaj7 in E♭ minor; iv → VII → IIImaj7 → VImaj7 in E♭ minor; VII → IIImaj7 → VImaj7 → iiø7 in E♭ minor. Think of Roman numerals as chord names you can take into any key. Uppercase is major, lowercase is minor; in minor keys, we count from the natural-minor scale.

Yes! In E♭ minor: The minor circle-of-fifths progression (i → iv → VII → III → VI → ii° → V) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and the verse at 0:20. Each chord hands off to the next, giving this long minor-key journey a strong sense of direction. The minor ii–V–i progression (ii° → V → i) shows up in the intro at 0:12 and the verse at 0:32. The jazz route home in a darker shade, with a diminished chord adding extra tension.
