I agree with J Breakz and actually came to say the same. I was listening to the vids you sent me on YT and I liked the original main melody for "Celtic Garden" much more. Maybe you can use both melodies though, just change it up from one to the other every now and then.

I used the main melody from the original its just in the 2nd bar

 Yes, I realize that, but the first bar shouldn't be used so often. Try this. Instead of that being your first bar make it the third one and have it do that only every third bar. If that doesn't work just change it into another one, but that should work. My point is only used that once every four bars or less because it sounds tacky and monotonous the way you have it. Trust me. It's one of those little things you begin to notice over time.

 Cool. Now that I'm listening I think that bar with the change up works better on the forth bar, but it's cool this way too. Also, it could use a slight change up the second time around. Like this:

Bars 1-3, first set: the main melody
Bar 4, first set: new melody version 1
Bars 1-3, second set: same as in first set
Bar 4, second set: new melody version 2 (just take the original melody and change the pitch of a few notes around)

OR you can keep it how it is but change the 4th bar to sound more like a "conclusion" if you will. So...

Bars 1 and 2: main melody
Bar 3: secondary melody
Bar 4: main melody with pitch change up on a few notes (as I said, make it sound like a "conclusion")

Just some ideas. Tell me what you think.

 You will probably have to lower the end notes, maybe delete one or two of them, idk though. YOU need to fuck with it and see what sounds right.

 nah you lowered the wrong ones. i was talking about on the 4th bar. make it so that the 4th doesn't sound like the first or second anymore but leave the third alone. it was either that or swap 3 and 4 and make it so that the one bar that is different changes. mathematically it should be like this. 1 denotes the bars that are your main melody, 2 is your secondary melody. 2' is your secondary melody with the final few bars lowered (as you did above). so check it:

1__1__1__2__1__1__1__2'__1__1__1__2__1__1__1__2'__.....

and so on. that was option 1. option 2 is like this:

1__1__2__1'__1__1__2__1'__.....

you get it?
