This tune has something that I quite like, Q.

Maybe that Goblin thing it rings on you has to do with the sounds of
Labyrinth OSB composed by Trevor Jones. It reminds me a bit.

Also, the brass sounds reminds me a little of Chick Corea's record "My
Spanish Heart";

If I may, I would suggest you could fix some detuned strings (I think
that's in some parts of the 12 string guitar) and some tempo drifting
(or it seems so in context with other layers).

Overall, a really good pile of layers, sounds and parts in a composition.

My two cents.
