A song I wrote awhile back and only recently finished :

Nice melodic song Bert. Don't hide your voice away in the back there, it's fine.

Agreed the vocal could easily come forward in this fine mix, thanks for sharing.

Wookie and James : Thanks for listening and I think you are right- I'll get take another stab at the mix and repost soon.

By the way Bert, I know you don't come around very often, but in case in this forum disappears there's an alternative that Bapu set up.

Thanks for the heads up, James. I will check it out.

Vocals were a little too front and center to my ears.  Like the song regardless.

David,
 
Thanks for the comment on the song- its an unusual and personal of tune for me, and I had no idea how it would sound to others. 
 
Bert

I tweaked the vocals a tad.

I think there is a good song in here, I like the phrasing of the lyrics, and it's got a catchy chorus.
 
Your lead vocal sounds like you sang it twice, doubling it, which is fine. I thought I heard areas where the first take and second take were fighting each other a little bit. Like a consonant landing at a slightly different time in each of the takes. 1:20 area
 
So you might just slice and dice, or volume dip the one you like the least just at that point.
 
What effects are you using on your vocals?  I think you could make some gains there. How about an eq with everything below 250 or 300hz rolled off?
 
Moody Blues-ish it is, cool  deal. 
 
cheers,
