I just wrote this song, still working on more for the melody...
I did practice Guitar for a while after about more than 10 years (stopped playing).
So, Just practicing the tune that I played (live) Solo Guitar in Pop Ballad.
First part is Nylon/Acc Guitar and the second part is Electric/Jazz Guitar Solo.
Other instruments are Piano, Strings, Pers, Bass, Synth and Woodwind...
Mastering - Rough Mix by the Optimaster + Scope board...
Edit: Added the Finished Melody Track.
Thank you for listening. Comment is welcomed!

you got to get the progression straight so you can write melodies that "sit" better. IMO the melody as it is sort of floats around while the progression struggles to flow.
The overall sound is good, and I like the piano sequences.
things to think about improving:
1. Run away from the mediocre accompaniment. Grab it by the neck, and shoot it with a gun.
2. V to a V (G to G->F#->G->A->B))doesn't cut it for me. You can go V to II->III->IV->V->VI (G to E->F#->G->A->B)
3. Again, avoid fourth (G) during the VI chord unless for a specific reason.
4. Apply more form and structure to the melody. IMO, at the moment it sounds like a loosely organized improvisation. Make it sound more deliberate and intentional, especially since the song style calls for a solid melody. (not so much energy in accompaniment) Organize longer phrases into chunks, and put pauses in between to make the groupings obvious.
