Not bad, but I'll give a bit of advice, if that's ok. The interval on the left hand creates a "strong" feeling which seems somewhat innappropriate when one considers the lyrics this song is based off of. The lyrics create a mood of helplessness for the wolf or slight sadness for the woodpecker, neither of which is a particularly aggressive feeling, as generated by the left's interval used in this song. Perhaps try some inverted 6ths? Anyway that's just my take, feel free to ignore, lol.

@enayteee I think the sense I was trying to give was one of overcoming the helplessness. But as I wrote it a year ago, I'm not entirely sure.

I realized that after I titled the song, and didn't feel like changing it...

I would slow the song a bit, but that's just me, I love it! I absolutely love it.
