Composed a nice melody but in sounds familiar.

Hi all, after two hours of sweating I composed a
nice melody I think, but I can't help thinking it sounds familiar
I think I may have had the melody in my subconscious and worked
towards it.
Here's the mp3:

Do you guys recognise it?

Has this happened to some of you too?

hmm where is harmony ? and suitables tones between accords melody ?

This melody is good but you must work on this yet.

if you learn some music theory you find better ways to come up with a melody other then sitting at your keyboard for an hour only to come up with someone elses

Very good Site Alanzo. I read it now.

Ok thanks for the tips..guys
I started some time ago in a music theory book,
but sometimes I just play without thinking about
theory. That can be very liberating.

I don't recognize the tune. And the melody/harmony could use some work.. but...

How did you get that nice string sound? Love it.

i noticed a little bit of airwave in there. near the end though. but hey it's totaly different...just letting you know what i noticed.

nice work.

Well, funny you ask..
because this is my first song with
Spectrasonics Atmosphere in it!
There are some sounds like these strings
in it that are just killer!
I layered it with some choirish Atmosphere pad and
a high Vanguard arp. Also a baseline and drums:

Do you think this sounds nice? I might have cut
back the lows to much on the Atmosphere strings....

I noticed the Airwave thing, very near the end. Doesn't sound like anything I have heard though. The 'sound' is good, I mean it sounds like trance, but it doesn't flow enough, but its not bad by any means.

Thanks for the comments.
I tried to spice it up a little more with
percussion and a piano.. Does it flow more now??
And if not, why?
