This song makes my heart so heavy. It sounds like a warm hug. But that's what makes it so god damn sad. Something that I think is genius is how By Your Side is utilized throughout the game. In Headspace, it plays nearly every time you see Mari, so obviously, your mind will start to associate it with her presence. But in the real world, it's used to remind you of her *absence*, and oh wow, does it hit. Putting all the Mari photos back into the album while this song plays, the feeling of loss is tangible and it's so god damn sad. And the best and most heavy hitting example is the graveyard scene on day 3, where the slowed down version plays. I sat still through the entire song when I got to that graveyard part, just to soak it all in. What a beautiful and moving moment.

I remember when I first heard it and found it so heartwarming and comfortable, then later in the game it just felt like a knife right into my chest, but at the same time it still had the same feelings of comfort and happiness, almost like you we're facing the truth and accepting it, needless to say I started crying my eyes out in the photo album part this plays and THAT made me realize that this game was one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had, truly a life-changer (almost cried reading your comment and writing this while listening to it god dammit omori)

Omori is just too much 😭😭 the amount of tears I've shed for this game could probably fill at least a few gallons. I'm such an emotional person I LOST SLEEP in the beginning after I first beat it because of how god damn sad it made me and I couldn't stop thinking about it. the most beautiful game i've ever played
