    Please also take a look at Kaho. You'll have to turn your speakers up however.. there is a sound issue:

      I really don't like the melody on Rapids. Measure 3 and 4 of each 4 measure progression sounds very dissonant too, it sounds like you have a chord-based synth playing in different keys each time, and it only fits for the first note. The lower ends are pretty muddy, especially the kick, and some percussion other than 8th note hihats would be appreciated too.

      Kaho was a bit better, again didn't really like the melodies, especially those 16th note runs about 30 seconds in. I'd keep the bass in the song throughout, not sure why you dropped it out for the last section.

      Try spending more than 4 hours on a song. If you can make a song in one sitting then you're probably doing something wrong, it takes a lot longer than that to flesh out ideas. For me it takes at least 40 hours across the span of a few weeks to finish a song, and while it might be unrealistic for someone new to music to do the same, you can at least put a bit more time into your songs than 4 hours.

          You mean a phrase? Lol

          I've spent more time on Rapids, you can take a look at it now, Kaho.. I don't know about Kaho yet. I'd have to get in the mood before even thinking about fixing that one. I'll need more reviews =]
