What's with all the low scores?...
...I don't see why this got so many 8's and 7's. I, for one, really enjoyed it, and although it does have its weak points, you portrayed the feel you were going for in this song excellently. So, in other words, it's time for another kick ass review! XD
The melodies are probably some of the best things about this piece. Piano played such nice melodies, which stay inside your head. I actually had a similar melody in mind before I heard this, and I was going to try and turn it into a song until I found out a similar melody had already been taken :P. Not only the piano melodies are nice, but even the other instruments. I liked the strings' melodies, and I also liked the part at 1:35, since it was a great break from the main melody.
Instruments, as aliaspharow said, were perfectly chosen, and complimented each other very well. They were good quality, and the flute was a great addition to the song. Still, I don't know if it's just me and my awful hearing, but I think some of the flute's melodies had chords in them, and flutes can't play more than one note at the same time :P. Also, I agree with aliaspharow, the instruments, mainly strings, were too bland. Add some more reverb, and give them a little more fullness.
The song's transitions were very well done. I couldn't find any rough transitions, except that I'm not too sure about that transition at 2:39. The flute sort of came out of nowhere, maybe you could fix that by slowly fading the piano out and the flute in (while playing the strings in the background). Other than that, the song flowed smoothly. New instruments were introduced really well; I liked the introduction of the flute quite a lot.
The structure is OK, a little simple, but did the trick. Variety wasn't that bad either, and although I think you could've done a piano solo with a different melody somewhere in the middle of the song, I can't say the song got repetitive, since just when I thought the melody was being repeated too much, it switched to a different melody.
The intro is lacking a good buildup, IMO. I'd rather you'd start it with the strings playing one note that lasts for 4 bars, then at bar 3 another note that harmonizes with the first one plays until the end of bar 4, and then at bar 4, another note is played and finishes at the end of bar 4. While this is all happening, you can fade the piano on like that. Ending, on the other hand, was rather good. I think you could've kept the last flute note last a little longer, but other than that, it was a good way to end the song.
This is a really nice song, and although emotional songs like this rarely get me interested in them, you actually managed to make me download it, and that shows you have a lot of talent. Keep up the great work! ;).
