I liked it.  I didn't know where it was going at first.  Once it kicked in I was grooving. 
IMO  - I listened on my studio monitors. The clarity of the mix is outstanding.  I feel the the voc was out front a little too much.  This may be the reason why people are picking up on voc shaky parts.  "Shaky" is character to me sometimes.
The call out I think was too loud at 1:06.  A little too much high end.    The lead vocal is really out front during the quieter parts 1:43.   I know people will disagree with me but sometimes it is ok to have the lead vocal in the mix, in a carved out spot.  Lastly, I feel there seems to be more mid-range and not enough sub.  When I play the tune at extremely low volume I can not hear the kick.  I think it can slide in right under the bass gtr.  There seems to be room.  I only tell you these things because you asked and I know how valuable the forum's crits are to me. 
Cheers,

Only listening on lappy speakers so I'll stay away from any mix comments for now.
 
What I can say is that I'm usually getting bored of most longer tracks by the 4:30- 5:00 ish mark, but not this time. In fact I was surprised at how long it actually was when it ended. So that has to be a good thing, right?
 
Speaking as someone who recognises vocals that need a little work all too well, there are a few bits that could use a tweak/re-do, especially early on, but other than that I'd say the it was the best thing I've heard here for a long time.

What does this tune need - absolutely nothing - this is one magical song - you've got a hit one your hands with this one. Love the playing - the vocals are really perfect for this tune and the mix sounds spot on. This is a great one my friend.

Mark - thanks so much, very glad you dug it. Couple of wanna-be jazz chords in there maybe  :)   don't tell anyone!
 
Paulo - that's quite a compliment - so very glad you liked it. Yes, if you don't mind the extended stay, that's a good sign! Many thanks!
 
John M - boy I sure appreciate the specific comments, it really, really helps! I think we all need to hear some nitty gritty and your has helped me get a handle on this tune. Much obliged!
 
cheers,

Nice track Tom. Moves smoothly along and through the hooks nicely. Sort of a gentle swing to it. Relaxed vocals and well arranged. I certainly enjoyed it. Thanks!

I love this, Tom.  I used to live on the Olympic peninsula, so I know what it means to see the sun at last.  I really have no problems with the mix or performance.  I'll be listening to this again.

Hi Tom, the overall song, mix and performances sound great to me. I personally like the reverb on the piano intro and I think your vocal fits the tune...if that makes sense.
