In my opinion there are a few differences. Maybe the first got the benefit of doubt. The second didn’t. Don’t shoot me for saying this. Difference: the second has a kind of instable rhythm for sure, and it’s slower (the feel). In the first you have a synth lead that’s more upfront and more neutral. In the second you have a kind of background piano melody lead, that’s not a great sample and a bit muddy. When you choose a melody line lead, it must be clear. And when it’s simple it must be flawless whit a perfect timing. Nothing wrong with simple, but it needs perfection. Make the timing more tight of the whole track, bring the piano lead more clearly and with a better piano, and mix it somewhat better.
PS: I’m Dutch so blunt.
Good luck!
