I usually make quieter songs, but this one really let me loose.

Short but intense.

I don't know if you can add YouTube links.

Don't forget to set the YouTube player quality to maximum.

It’s a good track for my ears - I didn’t really dig the slower parts of the video with the music.

My advice is to try and replace some of the tracks in this song with real instruments and/or higher quality vsts. It's to fake sounding if that makes sense which detracts imo from a professional sound and taking it seriously as a piece of music. The emotion and core of the song is good! If you ware interested in making it sound more authentic and emotionally moving, try to do some of the following. This is especially apparent on the 1/8 note staccato bass parts which suck the listener right out of the mood and scream computer! The guitar at end sounds like a mosquito but it's a good melody. Replace with real guitar. If you're not able to do that, myself or others here would be happy to quickly put down a guitar track. The soloed choir on the breakdown, try All saints choir by sonic couture for more realism. The piano line could use some variation and better samples. Ideally replace with real piano if that's not possible try garritan cfx or keyscape. Just one experienced mans opinion.

Well, thank you very much for your insightful assessment.
This is the first constructive criticism I've received on this topic. Until now, no one in various forums had told me they thought it sounded so bad, and I think you're right. However, regarding your VST recommendations, I doubt that "All Saints Choir by Sonic Couture" has a solo voice that resembles Ethera's, which doesn't mean it couldn't be better managed. As for the bass and piano, I'm not a musician or instrumentalist; they're loops, and for me it would be a huge undertaking to record those melodies with more realistic VSTs.
As for the guitar, I actually played it with the controller keyboard, which is why it sounds so cold. You're very kind of offering to record a real guitar sequence, but given that to achieve more realism, almost the entire track would have to be retouched, it's not worth all the work, but I sincerely appreciate it.
Thank you again, and be sure to listen to my other tracks to see if they're on the same level of quality.

Yes, in my recent work, I don't bother too much with the artistic visuals, as it doesn't seem to have much influence on reviews on other forums and YouTube.
Even the music is somewhat neglected. Sometimes working hard only gets me two or three more applauses, since my music doesn't seem to appeal to many people. I focus more on the essence of the composition.
