The soundtrack cover song for “Mary” unfolds the emotional story of the young Mary in Nazareth with an impressive fusion of orchestral and electronic elements. Delicate string orchestral sounds trace her childlike purity and hope, while deep double basses embody her inner strength and determination in the face of adversity. The powerful tympani beat like an urgent heartbeat, reflecting the threat of Herod's tyranny that constantly hovers over her life. In contrast, immersive synthetic textures reminiscent of Jens Buchert create a spiritual, almost timeless dimension that hints at Mary's connection to something greater. The orchestral instruments, combined with the pulsating, lively electro beats in the style of Jean-Michel Jarre and St. Germain, paint a powerful soundscape that captures the deep emotions and dramatic tension of the young love between Mary and Joseph. This interplay creates a multi-layered, atmospherically dense sound experience that tells the captivating musical story of Mary's development under the burden of oppression.

Voice of Curators & Labels
| Curator / Label | Response |
| Mindscape Melodies | Thank you for sharing Mary. It’s a well-crafted track with a unique blend of orchestral and electronic elements, which I can tell took a lot of thought and effort. |
| Brooklyn Music Experience | Cool chill track with varied lead instruments. Nice vibe for a relaxing scenario. Feels like a journey/narrative. Nice groove. |
| Cinematic Soundscapes | I liked the drum section a lot here. Very cool bassline and sound design as well, however, I found this might blend a bit too many genres in one song compared to what we typically share. Great composition though, we wish you the best with this. |
| Argy Karis | This is an amazing electronic composition, with dance and downtempo elements and an atmosphere that mirrors the hypnotic aspects of ethnic music. |
| Nordic Atmosphere | Really cool track! Unfortunately, I dont have drums or beats on my playlist. Well done though! |
