Looking at every part in its own, it seems that you got them sounding pretty much as you want (they are almost newly made parts, after all) and the technical aspects are well covered, that I cannot say for myself. So my objections are more a mix of personal aesthetics (basically, I wish the arrangement for the "Don't forget me" part were in the first verse and from there you'd have gone higher but "to which its own"?) and arrangement estructure, meaning:
- 0:35 bridge, things get a little weaker than verse 1
- Verse 2 seems to be lighter, more ethereal than 1 (not that clear when I A/B since the arrangement is subtletly different, but that's what I feel listening the tune from start to finish, likely due to the drier vocal and softer loop?)
- 1:20 bridge seems to be pretty much the same than the first, but again it seems slightly weaker, since the repeating delay line has less presence... you get the idea
The 2:18 crescendo is so cool with those little seagull-like synths (what are they doing at the top of a mountain?) and the bass part that I guess is again coming from a synth? And the loop for the "Don't Forget Me" part is very beautiful; as I said, I wouldn't had cared to have it right from the beginning. Aaaaand I cannot think of anything else, like it's a little hard for me to judge this mix as a whole for some reason, probably because it's so different. It might take some time to listen without thinking of the original parts.
Btw, I tried to pay attention to the lyrics and found nothing to make me think it was about any climber in particular (I actually thought it could be a metaphore), what was the deal?
Forget it, 5 seconds and one Google search after and I understand now!
