Howdydoo everyone.
I've spent a couple days working on this song and I've finally made it to the end of the song. However, before I go any further with this, I need some fresh ears to have a listen. I'd very much appreciate some criticisms/advice/anything you wanna give me to help me out with this. =3
Also, just a heads-up, I'll also be making a PMV for this when I put it up on youtube so I want to keep some leeway within the song for some video clips.

EDIT: Updated it. Made a few changes here and there. Pretty happy with it except for the ending. It just seems too abrupt.

0:45 oooooo i lovez the arpeggio. :D but im kind of a sucker for arpeggio. its simple but sounds great. and 2:00 sound great too! sounds all majestic-like.

the only thing i aint fond of, is that its a bit repetitive. and it could probably use some more bass. maybe. might not work but it might. idk. lol

Take my advice with a grain of salt as i too am learning how this music stuff works
English is my native language but it is defiantly not my forte.

Yeah, it is rather repetitive, isn't it? I'm gonna have to work on that. =P
I'm kinda reluctant to adding in some more bass since I don't want to bring in too many instruments. That and I've had bad experiences with it. Things would sound fine on my headphones but terrible on everything else I play them on.

The ending felt a little abrupt. That's really the only thing I got out of it that hasn't been said. I dunno if you have anything more planned for it, but, some resolution would be nice.

Unless it's supposed to be unresolved.

I realize it's pretty abrupt. I've worked on it since I posted it here and added the opening notes of the MLP theme to the end to sort of give it that finished feel. It sounds alright but I think I gotta work on it a tad bit more.

New updated version. I tried my best to address the issues you pointed out (and a few of my own). Tell me what you think! =D
