Hi,
First thing to fix. Don't tell the listener what he or she is supposed to imagine. That is the listener's job. I didn't bother reading your long comment so I can give you a unbiased description of what I thought of this song.
Nice thunder and rain fx and a good fade in to start the song. The drums work well in this song. The pads and background instrument does bring a calm oasis feel. I like your tremelo or panning delay effects to some of your instruments.
The concern I have with this song is that the piano isn't playing a intriguing pattern. Its playing like one note with no complex chords or arpeggios. Now I can see simple piano patterns in trance music because of the excessive reverb, but in this oasis type song there needs to be more.
I like how you ended the song. Most of your song is good. I'm looking for the lead part (the piano) to take a bigger role, but other than that you did a good job. As for what I pictured, it was like I was in a beautiful garden with a creek nearby. The drums may have took away some of the tranquilty, but I was always a fan of the dance drum beats. 5/5 and 9/10 review.
Bye for now
