Liking it! Nice and interesting stereo balance, great drum & bass backing. I'd drop the vocal back a tad into the mix in the quieter verse sections. A really good track, nice one!

As usual, recording playing & mix are excellent... Very full sound - I'm jealous! A lovely tune to boot - I'm sure she'll love it. This is more of an suggestion than a critism - Have you tried singing the harmony vocal lower (ie a lower interval) than the lead? The reason I suggest this is that the higher harmony vox works well on the noisier rockin' tunes, but I think it detracts a bit from the message you're trying to convey on this one - It has the tendency to "hype" the track more than is necessary. I'd also suggest adding some keys - a nice bit of piano or some Hammond would be tasty - Yum! Nice one.

mikro,
Sounds quite good! Reminds me of early David Bowie (this is a compliment). My only minor gripe is: some of the vocals are just a little bit loud.

Thanks Guys

I think I'm gonna redo the vox with a little softer delivery, seems like I'm yelling at people in this mellow song.

Well done, man.

While I agree with the vox being maybe a tad too loud and singing most of the harmony parts in a lower register, a suggestion I would make is this;

The "you don't have to worry" parts could be left as is. Would make them stand out and possibly convey your message a bit more strongly/clearly/urgently.

Nice full mix of a good song just as it stands though.

Knock it down to three minutes and you have a hit.

Ok I killed the hanson bu vox except on the chorus and mellowed out the vox. Any other issues?

Top stuff! I really like what you've done with this - the sustained harmonies behind the pre-chorus sound very nice... It's radio-ready!
