WE are music lovers here and not musicians, we cant offer tips and critiques in the form you want
WE either like or dislike music, if we find it appealing, we like it, if we don't, we wont like it, its that simple
I suggest that if you require commentary on the actual specifics and techniques involved in what you have done
then all i can suggest is that you seek out a musicians forum, post your material there and receive the proper
constructive comment you desire.

Ok thank you very much, i though that this forum is for musicians.
Happy to see that there is someone normal here who writes a normal comment, and not just trying to be mean...
Thanks

ET MUSIX, really nice work! But I think it was wrong to use full original video. You should compile your own clip. TY

Ok, I'll give you a serious answer.
I should preface this by letting you know that I played in some bands in my youth, so I have more than just a passing knowledge of music and its inner workings.
I played drums to start, which led to my dabbling with guitar (still do, kinda), and keyboards.
Secondly, when I'm listening to a new song, I never, neverwatch the video.
The music has to stand on it's own, live or die on it's own merits, without the window dressing to sway my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, I like music videos as much as the next person.
They have the capability to do a great job of visually conveying an emotion that may deepen the meaning of a song.
I just think it's kind of a shame that being visually pleasing is as important, if not more important, than the song itself.
So, with that long-winded, self aggrandizing, pseudo-intellectual preamble out of the way...
I listened to this cut a handful of times, and honestly, nothing really jumps out as setting itself apart from any other techno pop cut.
It's got a full sound, but it's borderline over-busy, especially during the vocals.
Everything is going on the entire time. Strip it down some, dude.
Fool around with it, experiment. Leave some hollow spots behind the vocals, see if it adds something by taking something away.

im the same Salty...
I obviously have to click on the YT clips,
but I don't watch them first time round,
if I like the sound of the track im listening to I then go back and watch the clip after.
