You're a pop star Daryl.  Catchy tune, upbeat lyrics, radio production.  Print a million!
 
Only nit I'd pick is on the choruses, the words "nothing yet" (and particularly on the syllable "yet"), the volume of the vocals seems to diminish a bit, as if you guys were having a hard time reaching down to those notes with your voices.  Maybe you can sneak up a gain envelope on those vocal clips just at the end of each, to compensate?

Daryl, This was awesome and a lot of great stuff happening throughout. Pop star for sure!! Liked all of the instrumentation and the vocals were right on. The mix seem to be just right for what you were creating, ans so wa-la some great work here.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Cool song Daryl. Production reminded me of Scritti Politti (not the song tho), very clean and polished and the groove is irresistible. I thought the piano dropped a bit too far back in the verses, but that's all I have for crits.

Thanks mate - I'll take Scritti Politti as a huge compliment - cheers.
I agree on the piano - that's on my fix list

What more to add to what's already been said...   err, nothing.  
 
So I'll just repeat - catchy song, great arrangement, and the mix is as clean and shiny as they get.   Not sure how you manage to pull that often time and after time, but you do.
