What should I do with this song?

Ok, I just made a song in FL Studio 8 the demo version. I found a way to get around the saving limit so I am asking for your suggestions.

This song was done with one instrument and it is meant for a sort of exploration feel.

Here: Wandering Through the Wilderness - http://www.box.net/shared/er6xug74ir

What should I add to it? Should I lose one of the piano thingies? Should I leave it alone? Add another instrument?

Now, I'm not into the technical terms, so if you use any, please explain what they are and what they mean. Thank you.
 
I think you have a bit too much reverb, you could play with velocites more, it sounds a bit like every single note was hit with the same velocity. It's your piece, so I can't really decide for you what instruments you should use...but if it was me and I was making a piece about wandering through the wilderness I wouldn't have so many notes! You have all these fast runs which are easy to do in FL with the piano roll, but not necessarily suitable. I'd calm it down a bit, maybe add some light percussion, strings, woodwinds, etc. Unless you were going for just piano.

Yes, I don't change the velocity I need to learn more about it though. Reverb, I can fix. I'll also calm it down, but I guess it's just me. I like all of the rapidly playing notes and stuff, so...yeah. I'll experiment with it. Thank you very much for your input, Chris!
