Not my cup a tea. Agree with the dude, other than that sounds fine here.

I love the balance of the sweet vox with instruments. This is a majical piece.
A little downward compression on the snare and hats and/or some 2kHz EQ gapping in the percussives (and instruments).
I expected the song to end at 3:30. In the finale you've Haas'd and 'verb'd out the lead vox for an artistic touch. I like that signature, but don't know how others do.
Message melody and sweet vibe: 10/10 to my ears.
Overall: ... 9/10 on 1st listen (probably 10/10 perfect after EQ-filterings and/or drum-reduction or compression in areas)

I like the upfront drums. I just feel that the vocals are too much spacey. Not low, just too distant. I would remove the reverb totally and replace it with a slap back delay.
sincerely, Ioannis Windows - some Dual Core CPU - a little bit of RAM - not so bad soundcard - i think it's called Sonar - a silver mixer with colorful knobs - black speaker monitors - my ears some work

the idea was to give it a spacey dreamy quality at least at the end of the song, as if to say "something so perfect must be a dream", but maybe a different effect than the verb would say that better. I'll give that a shot. Thanks everyone

Really cool tune, really nice subtle guitar work, nice vox.. what I can hear, no more to add that hasn't been covered on production. Enjoyed it very much.

Very nice! Smooth and relaxing. I would bring the voice up a bit. Great instrumental arrangement. For the drums, once you started the faster playing, I would keep it up for the rest of the song. The snares have this compressed artifact. It it sort of squashing the rest of the track. Maybe dial down it a bit?

Is it mixed or just a rough?
I just wanted to know before I comment.
Cool idea.
