I think I might have removed the hats a bit earlier to allow the track to play out.

Nice pad. I think you low passed too much highs. You should try to use filter to add build up in intro and to create move movement just by slowly modulating that low pass and bring some highs till the first break.

I was thinking that this will be break when it hits climax and introduce main beat and main theme but instead there are just too much compressed synth bass. This compression is even visible without hearing anything.

Some nice ideas. Mix need bit more balance. Stage need refinement because it is top narrow, almost mono. Don't be afraid of panning.

I like this arp. Nicely flows above the percussion and other parts.

a nice song.  I like the "out of tune" pad sound.

There is a solid basis for a song here. but I'd like to hear more than arps over chords. a soaring lead sound making a slow melody over the top would be interesting.

Sorry I am late to comment on your comments. I want to thank the people who gave helpful advice to improve my song. Additionally, I want to thank the ones for commenting what you like/love about the song. Lastly, thank you for taking your time to listen to my song.
