I'm amazed that some people don't hear the third C# chord as being the resting point towards which the first two chords are leading to. Freddemillo, this song sounds like a major key to you???
I was giving a traditional view from the notes given. If it's an a and not an a#, then VI-iv-i in C# minor would indeed be the correct "classical" answer.

Hi Liero,

I was just going quickly, did not pay much attention to the youtube clip and based on the A# combined with the other sharps, I quickly thought of B and did not take the time to think about the relative minor.
