I really love this! How on earth did you get David orr to comment on your song?

Honestly just an improved version of End of the Road. I love that it’s shorter than that one and less attempt to be grandiose, more so just a fun one. Minor criticism, I really like the cymbals but the constant instant panning can get a little disorienting, especially with headphones. Getting better at outros, really feels like a giant about to fall off a cliff but luckily avoiding that at the last minute. I wonder how this would have turned out in minor key? That’s interesting to think about.

Thanks for sharing this track, and the shoutout! I really enjoyed the core ideas; the melody throughout is quite memorable. I love your involvement of the full orchestra, as well as your soloistic moments at the beginning and ending. A lot of great intuition and design here!

Onto the points of thought: it felt a bit overly recycled to my ears -- consider exploring some ways to create a sense of progression in the music. Some ideas would be to modulate, change up the chord progressions, change meter, change tempo, or find different combinations of the instruments at your disposal to create new textures. You've got a great sense of overall structural arch, but transitions are a little abrupt (i.e. the ending).

As you continue your orchestral writing, consider ways to move away from chordal writing and explore interweaving melodies and countermelodies to create a more flowing and seamless texture. This is something I have personally struggled with, as it does contrast the writing principles of many other genres. Some exercises to work on this would be to try to write melodies and chord progressions that aren't even bar lengths (3, 5, 7, etc.), or try taking a melody and harmonizing it several different ways. These aren't necessarily principles to follow when writing music, but they're great exercises to expand your thinking and musical vocabulary.
