Nice work here! And awww im sorry for your loss. Making music I think is one of the best ways to remember somebody.
As far as the song production my only tips would be to EQ a few of the different layers so they can be slightly softer.
Thats just production shizzle tho.
This song is very enjoyable.
Wow! F-777! This is a YUGE honor. Thanks so much for the praise!
Sorry to hear that dude!
The tune itself is quite hard hitting, definitely feeling some deep vibes.
One thing you could do is add some more delay or reverb tail, at 50 seconds. So basically have that synth increase the wet mix and down the dry mix about 2 or 4 bars before, so it sounds spaced, then add some stereo phasing / shape to it and have that pan off to the sides then have your bass come in from the middle. Perhaps even low pass it or high pass it just befre the next section. Chuck some reverse cymbals or a nice riser and you'll glue it really nicely into the next section.
Getting the transitions between sections is what you should focus on a bit for the next track.
Other than that dude, melody and arrangement is grand! Some great work there.
All the best :)
