I like the main melody and arrangement. but everything was really weak db wise and sounded over compressed.
If you listen to your track and reference it your fav song currently you can see how much quieter your track is in comparison. everything sounds squashed . idk maybe a limiter or compressor is working too hard
You def know what your doing arrangement wise, but i think the entire track could benefit from being re-mixed and mastered. I'd use the advice you gave me, work on your eq'n each individual sound so each has its own lane and doesnt clash. then master so your drums and everything else can cut thru the mix
nice work
