The piano at the beginning, before this, I really like though. Because as you said, it's simple, but really pretty.

I didn't mean to say outrightly that I didn't like it, well done because it is really nice!
Thank you again for your comments, I do see what you mean. I think using a damper pedal would actually make it sound a lot softer and overall just a little less straight, if that makes sense. Sadly, I'm using the Garageband piano, so off the bat, I can't really use a damper pedal. I can make another track and make it cutoff a little more, dampening it a bit though, which I may try. I also had the thought to roll the piano chords a little at the peak of the track, while maybe layering in a quiet Rhodes of some sort to add soft texture to the actual piano. Anyways, thanks again for the thoughts, and I'm very glad you enjoyed it.
