This is some well carefully composed contemplation music!
I like how the song cycles from a few different types of feelings, such as distraught/torn thought back to more hopeful thinking as the song goes on.

I would love to use this in a animation.
If you are okay with it, would you mind if I downloaded this song and put it in NG Movie someday?

Regardless of your answer, this is some great ambience.
Keep up the great work!

Thoughts while listening: Hmmm...nice chords used there...build-in at 00:39 was nice. Very nice. And now the piano pulling a little into the lead. Good melody...perhaps it would stand out a little better an octave higher? Love the rain-pad...I'm a sucker for rain-pads.

Thought after listening:

Some Improvements;
-Yeah, the piano solo needs to be an octave higher. The reason being that the guitar is playing in the same musical space as the piano, so the two just blend together, and it's very difficult to hear the solo. That's why the lead guitarist always plays so high up the neck!
-Needs some rhythmic variety. Good drum beat, but it could use some fills. Also, the chord progression is pleasant, with some interesting chords in there, but again, repetitive rhythm.
-Guitar sound is a little harsh. Lessen the attack to make it sound a bit more mellow.

Some Good Things;
-Chord progression uses some great minor 7th-sounding stuff. Not many composers here make it out of major/minor. Appreciation.
-Well mixed. Good volumes.
-Great atmoshperic sound. Again, I'm a sucker for rain-pads.

Overall, not bad. This can certainly be developed more, and has the potential to be fleshed-out into a pretty epic track. However, the repetitiveness of it might lend itself to a more loop format, rather than a full song. It might make a decent video game backtrack, for example. If you want it to be more of a full song, I'd suggest adding in some more in-depth structure, and if I may be so bold as to suggest, a string section could tie the atmosphere together a little more solidly than it already is.

3.5/5, R4R
