Another great track O.O
I didn't really listen to the original, and since I'm a lazy person too (Aren't we all...), I'm not gonna go listen to the original :P, but honestly, this is really good. You have a great chance on winning that contest, I'll give you that ;).
The melodies are amazing, but I suppose you didn't make them, so I can't credit you for them, but I can credit you for the instruments, and they are just awesome and fit so well together. I especially liked the piano parts you did here, they were epic.
The transitions were out of this world, especially the one at 4:56, but I can't expect any less from you when it comes to transitions :D. I liked the reverbed reverse cymbal and the drum rolls too, they were some of the best I've heard in a while. Good job on the structure too, and there were some really great buildups, especially the piano buildups, although I think you introduced some saw synth melodies a little too suddenly, so sometimes you should try and fade them in instead of let them come in so abruptly. Still, the variety here is great and the melodies never got repetitive or boring. Really amazing piano intro, with a nice buildup after, and the ending was great too. Piano endings don't usually come out that good, but this one did, and I enjoyed it.
The drums were excellent, with nice-sounding samples, and I liked how you used that drum hit for the final note of the ending. Still, you should vary your beats a little more when it comes to that kick. The drum beats here are excellently varied and never got boring, but I think using a kick every beat in almost every drum beat you have did get quite annoying. Also, I think the drums were a tad bit too soft, and the synths and piano sort of drowned them out. Other than those two defects, the drums were superb.
Overall, it's another awesome song from you. You definitely worked hard on this and it shows, since the outcome is fantastic. I've got nothing else to say except; GREAT JOB! :D.
