I like this!
It sounds so happy and uplifting

Good Job!

I like the dreamy atmosphere at the beginning and the instrumentation. The progression is a tad slow, and the transition at :45 could use some smoothing over. That said, I really like the prominent arpeggios at :45, despite the fact that they’re a bit too far forward in the mix once the melodic content at 1:16 comes in. It’s a feel-good track, albeit a bit generic. I also think you could’ve done a lot more creative things with the drums, especially during the refrain. Speaking of the refrain, I think it lasts too long without much variety. The breakdown section at the 2-minute mark was a welcome change, and the transition back into the refrain at 2:45 was solid. I think there are some balance issues in the piece. For example, the refrain at 2:45 feels jarringly louder compared to the earlier climactic content. In a way, I’m tempted to commend you for creating a strong sense of directionality and resolve by saving the “best for last,” so-to-speak. But I’m afraid the volume levels are a bit too extreme for it to mirror the feel-good vibe the piece gives off. At the same time, I think more subtle changes in the volume levels and automation/filtering alike would help fix some of these abrupt transitions. Overall, though, I was captivated by the blissful mood and melodic content of the piece, and my compositional complaints (other than the transitions, perhaps) are mostly small details. Keep up the good work, Dukebartje!
