'''By Your Side''' is the 5th track in the official [[soundtrack]] of ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]''. It is [[Mari|Mari's]] theme, and plays during cutscenes with her and about her.

== Musical description ==
The track features a piano playing a sweet and gentle melody, with chords in a syncopated rhythm played by the left hand. As it continues, other instruments begin to fill in the texture, including a synth pad and a flute. It is 32 bars long and has a symmetrical structure, with the latter 16 bars being a repeat of the first 16, with differences in instrumentation such as the piano melody being doubled by a synth. It can be divided into four bar phrases, which in turn can be divided into two bar phrases, which all have a similar melodic contour. The chord progression repeats every two bars and uses the chords bVII - vi - V, with some variations with extensions as the piece continues.

== Analysis ==
''By Your Side'' makes use of chromaticism, which adds a bittersweet feeling to the music. The strong beats are not greatly emphasised, which can be seen in how the melody starts on the off-beat after beat 1, and in the syncopated elements in the accompaniment and main melody. This, along with the instrumentation, helps to create a gentle sound. The track prominently uses a flattened 7th (A♮), mostly as the root note of the A chord but also in the melody, giving it a mixolydian flavour. Here, the modal feel emphasises the more melancholic aspects of the music.

== Motifs ==
''By Your Side'' is Mari's theme. The theme also appears in [[Dear Little Brother...|Dear Little Brother]], played slower and without the left hand accompaniment.
