Overall I am really happy with my composition. I'm proud of myself for writing my own lyrics instead of using another songs and I really like my melody. It has the potential to be a really great song. I like it being a soloists song with just the piano, but if I were to change it, I would have chosen an acoustic guitar with a gentle drum beat. If I were to add harmonies, I would have added them around the end of the verses, the oooo's, Bridge, and parts of chorus, along with a possible echo in the chorus. I definitely would have liked better recording quality so you can hear the dynamics in the piano, which are hard to pick up in this recording.
