My first full track after 4 year break(Chill Out)

Hello

For the past 4-5 years I couldn't make or finish anything even if I tried really hard and this is my first full track after a long time (very frustrating)

I know that it's nothing special ,weak even but it will be good to know what people think about it and to hear some opinions what and where to improve.

Also I must to say that this is the greatest forum ever; I'm from Poland and there are no more sites like this anymore here.There was a couple but they are pretty dead now. I know how important being active on sites like this is so I will try my best(despite my weak english) to comment and be active here.

Seriously if this is what you make after 4-5 years inactivity, go on and make more. I personally think the beat is a bit simple with all due respect, but I know people that would really like this.

The synths are cool :)

Sounds pretty fresh for a 4 year gap. Has a bit of a middle Eastern flavour in the beat

Archive.org seems like a bit of a weird choice for hosting individual tracks, though. Do you have a Soundcloud page?

Out of curiousity, what kept you out of commission for so long? Do you play any instruments? Know much about music theory? My philosophy is that anyone who knows anything about music can fire off a song if they really want to. Maybe it won't be a very good song, but that's better than no song. Do enough of those & eventually they'll stop worrying about trying to sound good, get into the flow of things, do what feels natural. That's when the magic can start to happen.

I will upload it to Soundcloud,no problem.

What kept me for so long ? I don't know ,I don't play any instruments and I don't know almost nothing about music theory so maybe I just simply suck ;).It is just my hobby and I love doing it.Before my break,I could make, let's say one track in a month,I've had many ideas and it was easy.Now everything pisses me off and I'm just not satisfied.

This is a good track.

But, get into music theory. Or not. But once you know how you can make the choice.
