It confuses me when you change the time signatures often. Like, during the chorus "you're living in your world," the first time you played it there was a 6/4 passage, then later 4/4 passages. Also, during the verses I'd hear the same discrepancy. If this was intentional then I'd say okay, pretty adventurous, but if it wasn't, then it makes your song a little hard to follow.

You also use a lot of open chords. Interesting. Not saying it's bad, just that it's different and not utilized much.

I very much liked that sense of constant change. Nice job!

Needs more time signature changes.
