I like the pensive mood at the beginning. Those dance plucks are super fun, and the wobbly bass that comes in at :13 was a nice addition to the texture. There’s a good sense of climax into :41, and the build-up continues from there. The melodic content sounds really blissful, too. I think the drums might’ve been a tad over-compressed. They almost sound punchier than is appropriate for the piece. That said, I like the re-intro at 1:36 and the filtering work on the lead building up to 2:10. The bass at 2:10 is a little heavy, but I liked the emotional climax of the second refrain at around the 3-minute mark. I think you could’ve varied the main melody a little more, and also the ending is a little sudden. The arrangement is a little generic too, but there’s still a lot to like in this piece. Solid production quality and melodic content, fun sound design, good mood and atmosphere. Strong work, Cesarinmono! ^_^
