Like the story, the music of Omoide no Marnie (When Marnie Was There) speaks of loneliness and fear of being unloved. Anna’s emotions are reflected in the melody and lyrics of the song. The OST was mostly created and performed by Takatsuku Muramatsu, but the last song was sung by Priscilla Ahn.

Fine On The Outside by Priscilla Ahn
The movie When Marnie Was There (Omoide no Marnie) ended with Ahn’s song. It has soft melody, accompanied by the acoustics of a guitar. The lyrics tell of a friendless person. She’s alone and sad on the inside but shows that she’s fine on the outside. You can’t help but think of Anna when listening to it.

So I sit in my room
After hours with the moon
And think of who knows my name
Would you cry if I died?
Would you remember my face?
