Listen

I was involved in recording guitars and arrangement process of the main song Ocean Deep Blue

The composer says: “The main original song I wrote for the first scene (played by an old vinyl player) and for the title scene, is a classical 60s style song as the ones that our parents could listen to. It stands for the memory of the youth, the only clear memory that Ophelia has and uses to keep contact with reality. Memories are like an ocean, a deep blue ocean.”
