Very nice song. Music sounds excellent. I'm not 100% on the vocal mix, but everything else sounds really really nicely mixed.

Here we go! Good mellow vibe, nice arrangement of instruments.
 
I'd bring the vocals up, we need to hear them in a vocal-driven track like this.
 
I would also look at the bass guitar, it gets a little raspy in spots, you might eq more top end off of it. What bass are you using?
 
I noticed your background vocals during the chorus seem to stray a bit in timing from your lead vocal. I personally don't think you need those backing vocs at all.
 
Your false ending was another thing, the fading electric guitars, I was thinking where's the bridge!!!  But I definitely liked the acoustic guitar outtro.
 
nice, keep up the good work!
 
cheers,

I thought it was well done, everything has its own space and is mixed well. Vocals need to be brought up, ended up focussing more on the acoustic guitar instead of the vox. Personally I liked how the backing vocals battled against the main vocal line in the chorus. I liked the outro part, but it felt it wasn't attached to the same song. Maybe bring it in before the electric guitar goes totally silent.

Thanks all for the input and advices, it really shines a different light on my recording/mixing approach, It´s very refreshing to hear comments from all of you!
The vocals have always been hard for me to mix, don´t really consider myself a vocalist, maybe that´s the reason why i tend to accentuate the instruments over my voice.
 
emeraldsoul- the bass guitar is a Squier jaguar  ( wish i could afford something better ).
 
Once again thanks to all,
 
Pedro

Nice song!   I liked the changes and melody, at times it reminded me a little of Daughtry. 
 
Mix-wise not much to add to the above.

Good job on this. I concur with the advice you have already received above. The only thing I would add is that it needs a touch of reverb to gel everything together. You have everything sitting in it's own space very well but I think a little reverb would help it to feel like it is all in the same space IMHO. I like it !

I like this song. The acoustic guitar sounds distorted on my system.

Maybe I'm not hearing the original mix, but this sounds very good on my system.  The song is compelling and the vocals sound terrific to me.  I'll listen again, but I like my first impression very much!

Good song, good mix. You can tweak it forever, but you probably don't need to. I can hear the vocal fine. You might try a little reverb on it and some of the instruments, as has been suggested, to place the whole band in the same space, but I like it a lot as is.
