Hi @DAW-Miez ,
I like the theme and how it evolves harmonically, nice! 
Some constructive ideas:
Get rid of that quantized MIDI feel and sound. In order to do so be bold: fool around with everything that Cubase has to offer: Timing, velocity, variations of all kinds, add different textures/instruments/parallel compression layers. Think about introducing a different dynamic plateau to create more contrast. Add a passage with an unbearable ritardando. Add a layer of you humming the theme in the background (distorted, out of tune, whatever). Do something unexpected and exaggerate - be bold!

My motto.
OFF TOPIC!
I believe it’s an accordion, not a harmonica…
BOOM BOOM!

I also like the theme and how it evolves harmonically, or should I say, accordionally…
I’d also say that some of the advice from @Reco29 depends on what you want to create. Although some of these ideas are really interesting! Cubendo offers a lot of tools, but you don’t have to use them all. Not every style of music needs a lot of compression, for instance. I do agree with the “be bold” motto in general, though. The artists and composers that tend to do something unexpected are always the ones who stick with me personally.
I also agree about the quantised feeling, especially since we are in a musical landscape that would not usually want to sound metronomic or stale. Are you recording this by playing notes on a keyboard? If so, my best friend in Cubendo is the “Soft quantize” setting. I often set it to 40%, or even as low as 30%. I never quantise anything 100% unless I explicitly want it to sound programmed, like a drum machine loop, or an arpeggio synth riff.

Yes, these were just some ideas out of the top of my head for inspirational purposes. Nothing more, nothing less.
I disagree with you on one point, though @eirik_myhr : A good song always employs all tools available in Cubase. Including Underwater.
Jokes aside, fooling around with plugins was meant as creative advice to think out of the box.
