In the case of this one, it's too long....your crowd is going to lose interest after a couple minutes....2:00 to 2:30 should be the max time for a ballad....I'm also hearing a couple of bad chords in there as well, mainly in your transitions from verse to bridge....otherwise you are on the right track....
One pet peeve I always notice with a lot of young arrangers is their voicings of songs....that wasn't necessarily the case in this song, but for future reference....
Thanks man... took what you said made the changes, but I won't post the new one here...

Here's some "old" new stuff that I arranged. She Don't Have to know is the only new one... so yeah, check it out and let me know what you think
