When you use a chimey piano the pad has to be fat and the bass strong to keep it from sounding hollow. Reverb and a better pad could help, as well as some counter-melodies and fills. The drum sound could be better and is mixed a little too dry, especially since you lead with it. The occasional discordant notes and tunings don&#8217;t work for me, but some people might enjoy them.
