Hi again.

I recently finished a song and I'm wondering if I could please get some thoughts on it? What needs to be improved? There must be at least one thing. Like the repetition, for example. I think there's too much repetition in this song.
It's a sad little progressive house song. It ended up sounding a lot like _5 so I decided to wrap it up.

Thanks in advance.

Hallo. I'm new. heh

My question is about melodies. The way I make melodies is this; I find a chord progression, then compose a melody that compliments the chords as they play. It's worked for me a little, but I feel like there could be a "better" way to compose melodies...You could say I'm looking for way to make the melody blend with the chords so they aren't conflicting with each other. When I choose a chord, I seem to end up using mostly the tonic, mediant, and dominant. I'd like to use the other more often than I do, but without creating unnecessary tension during the song.
So how do you make your melodies? I'd like some remarks on the method I use, but I'd also like to hear how you do it.

Oh, and sorry if there's already another topic for this in the forum. I looked but I didn't find anything quite like what I was looking for.

I might add some resources to the OP for other people who are experiencing this issue. I don't know.
Anyways, thanks for your help.
