My only complaint is that it doesn't have a super hard drop, but the rest of the song makes up for that. Though in the end the quality is nice, and it sounds very legit. Transitions are all nice and smooth, nothing really sticks out ( in a bad way)

We should totally collab on some house sometime, which FL do you have??
I'd be up for a collab sometime. Just know that I'm very erratic with my attitude towards making music; I can only do it when I'm in the right mood.

Yeah, I saw sunless daybreak in the batch and was pleasantly surprised. I'm glad you like my work!

As for the song: one of the first things that caught my attention was the song length -- a great full length song is very hard to come by.

A few thoughts that came to me as the song was playing:
- at 0:30, I personally felt like the (electric?) piano should have been slightly filtered to build into that choppy effect that is sitting there now, so that when you reach at the hi-hats at 1:00, you will have had a nice and smooth buildup. It still sounds great as it is -- the chord build-up for the second repeat of the piano is great.
- 1:26 to 2:48: gorgeous. I could listen to this part of the song over and over again.
- 2:49 to 3:20: interesting synth addition; it actually melds with the rest of your song very nicely in my opinion.
- 4:20: ok I'm just going to listen from 1:26 to 5:14 over and over again

Honestly, aside from my one little PERSONAL nit-pick, this song is something I could listen to again and again. It's very smooth, soothing, and just sounds naturally meld together.

It's awesome to see how far you've gone in terms of making music; you're great now!
Looking back, it's pretty amazing how far I've come since my first attempts at making music. It took a lot of work, but it's people like you who keep me motivated to make music.

I know what you mean about the piano part, but I personally liked it better the way it is. The filter didn't sound great beyond that point. I'm glad you pointed that out though.
