The best part is that in the game these were probably all songs Mari would play.
OMORI is that perfect emotional blend of wholesome and pain. This trait extends to its music. Thus, for maximum emotional pain, here is a compilation of my favorite OMORI piano covers. Enjoy!

0:00 - Title (Ryan Lafford)
I really like the old-piano style of this. It sounds a touch creepy, but very welcoming. Just like the game OMORI itself!
1:37 - Hero's Song (PianoBin)
A song I love, despite it neither having an appearance on the official soundtrack or even having an official name. It's just beautiful... What Hero and Mari had really was special, huh?
2:01 - My Time (にひきの住処)
This is what would play when... Well, when the pizza arrived. A very skillfully performed arrange!
6:05 - World's End Valentine (Edwin)
I'm happy a couple piano arranges of these boss themes exist, they're awesome and add a completely different feel to already great music!
10:04 - By Your Side. (koral)
There's something about this old, slightly detuned piano, that adds so much emotion to this song. It really does feel like walking down memory lane!
11:40 - Do You Remember? (Narokath)
This song... Oh man, there's so much emotion in even just this cover. This is the kinda stuff which motivated me to put this together.
14:00 - A Home For Flowers ~ Daisy (PianoBin)
I'm gonna be real, I like this more than the actual Daisy version of Home For Flowers. The more realistic piano really sells the emotion. Like I know why they went for the more VGM-y headspace piano in game, but this is just really nice.
15:29 - See You Tomorrow (NeYU Scores)
When I first heard this in game, it sounded so familiar yet distinctly original. It gave me feelings resembling a lot of stuff I liked - sweet, Yasunori Mitsuda-y acoustic guitar and strings, but with some interesting vibraphone action and flute sounds. It gave it a distinct, original feel, while resembling the songs of both RPGs and memories past. Thus, you translate that to piano, and oh boy is it one heck of a masterpiece. It reminds me a lot of "Another Fair" - an OCReMix of one of Mitsuda's many masterpieces from the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. You may not know the source but if you like this cover I highly recommend giving it a listen since they give me the same feels.
17:52 - White Space (franatix0)
Today I uploaded a playlist of awesome OMORI piano covers. Everything was okay.
19:12 - You Were Wrong. Go Back (Edwin)
Space Boyfriend is probably my favorite of the Headspace characters, so this arrange is highly appreciated.
22:04 - OMORI (PianoBin)
As if this piece wasn't already emotionally damaging enough!
The OMORI boss fight is very interesting. As someone put it, it's "the concept of an instrument which will never be played versus it finally being played". It's almost idealism versus reality, but at the same time both sides represent idealism and reality in different ways. Sunny wants to dream away but finally is realizing that escaping reality doesn't save him from it. Meanwhile, Omori's ultimate goal is to keep Sunny away from reality, yet he chews into Sunny for being too weak to even face it. It's the most extreme kind of cognitive dissonance and I love it.
26:26 - Final Duet (kei k)
This has another "old piano" quality that I love. I really love these detuned piano covers. It has a nostalgic sound to it, and seeing as Final Duet is itself about reliving and accepting memories, it fits quite well.
28:52 - Good Morning (PianoBin)
One more day...
I need to learn the rest of the lyrics!
Jokes aside, great song, even better cover. This game, fittingly, has music perfect for piano.
Happy Holidays!

![Evangelion - Classical Music Mix
Notice: This video contains songs from the original series & End of Evangelion only. No songs from Death/Rebirth or the Rebuilds are in this mix. The songs from Ep 24 & EoE are the actual ones used, but the Ep 15 & 22 tracks are simply my closest approximations to the versions used in the show.
So I watched Evangelion recently - that being, the original series, End of Evangelion, and all the Rebuilds. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I found its psychological message to be something I rather needed to hear at this point in my life - it is a good reminder on how escapism cannot substitute the beauty of human interaction.
Evangelion has a lot of interesting aesthetic choices - of course theres the obvious religious themes, from the angels (which more resemble what would be called in todays terms a biblically accurate angel than anything else), to artifacts like the Spear of Longinus (which is totally badass), to the presence of cross & crucifix motifs, but most of all I find the inclusion of classical music to supplement many scenes a very interesting touch.
I decided Id either do a Chrono Trigger soundfont cover or make my first Eva playlist - I decided it would be more fun to make a playlist to start, though!
I have ordered each song by its source episode/movie.
Episode 15:
0:00 - Wedding March (Felix Mendelssohn)
Used in the wedding Misato, Kaji, & Ritsuko attend.
5:08 - Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, Prélude (Bach)
Used as the song Shinji practices on the cello.
Episode 22:
7:14 - Hallelujah (Handel: Messiah)
Used to signify Araels psychological attack on Asuka.
11:19 - Worthy is the Lamb (Handel: Messiah)
One of two melodies used (Worthy is the Lamb... Amen is how its credited in official sources) for the sequence towards the end of the episode, where Rei retrieves the Spear of Longinus from Lilith and uses it to destroy Arael.
15:11 - Amen (Handel: Messiah)
The second of two melodies used (Worthy is the Lamb... Amen is how its credited in official sources) for the sequence towards the end of the episode, where Rei retrieves the Spear of Longinus from Lilith and uses it to destroy Arael.
Episode 24:
19:35 - Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 (Beethoven)
You know why this is here. He really did have a point that this was the highest achievement of Lilin culture.
The End of Evangelion:
42:44 - II Air [Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major, BWV 1068] (Bach)
Used for Asukas battle against the Mass Production Evangelions.
46:09 - Jesus bleibet meine Freude [Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147] (Bach)
An absolutely beautiful performance to wrap up this mix.
Also, shoutout to the guy in the front holding Rei & Asuka plushies.
Notice: In a few countries, (Cyprus, Georgia, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Türkiye), the video is blocked because of the use of II Air [Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major, BWV 1068] from the End of Evangelion OST. I chose not to trim it out, because I felt that would be removing an important & memorable piece of the score. I suggest you use a VPN to watch this video if you are in one of those countries.
Support me on Patreon if youd like to fund both this and my original projects (like my upcoming RPG Divine Purpose... A game that will definitely be taking some notes off of Evangelion, mixing religion & psychology!)
