1Overall Description
Ok, my first review here, so let's start..

First of all, lose the reverb on the kick. Doesn't really sound too nice and it makes the track sound kind of messy. The main lead is way up on the octaves here, maybe if you'd lower it one octave down and perhaps raising some volume, that might work. I'd expect more power on the bassline here, now it's too much in the background.

Now, the song structure. Well, this track is not too dj-friendly which is what I personally look for on a trance track. You have all the elements here though, which is fine. I think this song lacks a decent string to back up the atmosphere created by the leads and arpeggio. Also the "double kicks" kind of ruins it for me, but that is a matter of taste really.

Melodies are quite nice actually and as I'm listening to this to the third time in a row, I still haven't gotten bored to the melody, so this is a plus for sure. Though I must admit, due to the name of the track, I wasn't expecting this "happy" song :D There isn't too much melancholy going on here.

Anyway, a quite nice track here. Sounds don't quite fit together and the mixing could have been done better. What I find best in this track is the main lead melody. This track is made with some tracker I presume? Too bad you didn't provide too much information on this..
