'''Title''' is the first song in the official soundtrack of ''OMORI''. It was composed by Pedro Silva (Slime Girls). The opening theme is thirty-seven seconds long that features a slightly out-of tune piano playing while a high pitch that starts and ends the theme as well as a distorted shifting sound as almost as there is a microphone under water. This high pitch note is around a F-sharp six, creating a dissonant note not found in the key (i.e the tritone or augmented forth). The piece is in C major, has a slow tempo of quarter note equals fifty-six beats per minute, a time signature of four-four, and has a pickup and seven measures. The track also borrows chords from different keys. '''Title''' will keep repeating on a loop when on the title screen.

Musical analysis
== Musical analysis ==
The two iconic starting notes is a major sixth, perhaps one of the most beautiful intervals. This interval appears in the most lyrical and passionate themes in music, such as Star Wars (Leia's theme), Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2 in E-flat major, Debussy's Clair De Lune, and many more. It is often called the interval of yearning, some say childlike joy and innocence, there may be different interpretations, but it is generally agreed it is sweet and pleasant. These interpretations follow striking parallels with OMORI and its themes. The theme in '''Title''' appear throughout the game at crucial moments to represent possibly numerous interpretations about '''The Truth'''. I like to the of Title as if as a foreshadow to what's in store in the game, the seven bars with it's melody and harmony tells a story. The story goes as "All's good" (Bar one, C major, before truth), "Something wrong" (Bar two, C-sharp diminished, Truth), "Now I'm sad" (Bars three and four, period of 4 years after Truth and before the game's events), "But Everything is going to be okay... right?" (Bars five through seven, G major to C major) The melody and harmony on the out-of tune piano provide the same story as OMORI and the ringing throughout the whole '''Title''' with the muffled sounds adds suspense and uncertainty as it's unclear what will happen.
The two starting notes is a major sixth. This interval is widely used to convey lyrical and passionate themes in music with examples ranging from ''Star Wars (Leia's theme)'', ''Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2 in E-flat major'' as well as ''Claude Debussy's Clair De Lune''.<br>
It is often referred to as ''The interval of yearning'' and is often associated with childlike joy and innocence. While there may be different interpretations it is generally agreed it sounds sweet and pleasant.
