I could have sworn that was alan watts in the beginning. Guess not reading lower. I like it. Bassline has a real kid cudi vibe. Sorry to hear about that. Everyone has to go through that shit eventually. One of my good friends passed away due to blood infection while in the hospital with pneumonia close to 10 years ago now. I saw him walking around town literally the week before and the next week he was gone. He's now immortalized on a wall in town that a mutual friend spray painted with his trademark goofy, crooked smile, and where it is I doubt it'll ever be removed.
As for the beat Its simple, but fits the tone you were going for. The almost whimsical part with the chords has a certain nostalgic sound that works real well with it. I don't really have anything negative to say about it. Everything there works, levels are good and nothing sticks out that makes me think it needs something fixed. Not something I would make a track to myself, out of personal preference, but that doesn't mean its bad.
