Any feedback is appreciated! Haven't spent much time on mastering it yet, but all the basics are there!

Hey man, cool production. I think the mix and arrangement/ sound design is on point. As far as a production goes this is nice. Something that really bugs me about the track though is the actual music behind the production. Don't get me wrong, the melody and chords are pretty and work decent with the vibe of the song, until they start to get redundant for how long the song is. The same progression is going throughout the whole song and it would be nice to hear some type of varied structure over what you have here. At around 41 seconds in I would like to hear a chord progression that counters what has been going on, and maybe even filter those chords to build some tension. This song would be amazing if it had a roller coaster like development, it just stagnates too much. Hope this helped

So do you mean add a counter chord progression that plays at the same time or at a different time as the one at 41 seconds?

I only ask because I introduce the first chord progression at that time mark.

Any other other suggestions on how to vary the song up a little bit would be awesome!

But otherwise, this is some of the best feedback I've gotten so far, thank you so much!
