I think that might be a bit to slow. At least for my taste. It seems that you 
recorded it at 128bpm. If you try something around 110 it sounds more relaxed.

You can test other tempos with mplayer. Just calculate 110/128 and put that as 
speed-option.

110bpm
mplayer -af scaletempo -speed 0.85 the_end_new.mp3

100bpm would be.
mplayer -af scaletempo -speed 0.78 the_end_new.mp3
