The panning is interesting but to me distracts from the more chilled, beautiful vibe you established in the intro.

I like the foundational parts of this - the piano, the chords, the melodies. I think that the percussive element could have added to the development of the song but here it just overwhelms everything to me. From the other comments is sounds as if you would have done more mixing work if you had time.

Like others, I really think you did not need the percussion. Some lovely melodic elements.

i enjoy how this bassline comes in and gives it a bit of funk

This has  such a nice soul-like feel to it !  The piano sounds really nice when not playing to high.  Btw, unlike others, I think the hip-hoppy percussion in itself is great and adds interest to the track. I do agree that it is too prominent, but reduced levels and less extreme panning could surely have fixed that.

Beautiful organic piano and strings.  This would make a sweet song as it is.  But you made the brave choice to add the lofi drum loop.  I admire that.  And a strange panning choice made me think my headphones were broken.  Makes it unique.  I like that.  Unusual decisions.  Good.

I'm going to disagree about the percussion - although it could have come in and out to create energy ebbs and flows , maybe coupled with some other backing parts, but overall a lovely piece.

I do like the track but do wonder if it might have been improved with a section minus the drums and maybe make the drums a little more interesting by filtering them to give them some a melodic tone.

The last 7 minutes are very slow ambient which isn't popular in OSC and of course it's long. Feel free to skip if that's a problem for you, although just to be clear, I love it. 

Thank you Jas (white noise), TSOM (cymbals), Exponent (exophase!) for sound design help.
