I've taken fellow Sonarians' advice and remixed this song.  I went through each track an learned a lot.  I re-cut the lead vocal too.
The new mix is the same link.

A radio ready hit. Clever lyrics. Great job by Karen on harmonies. To my admittedly untrustworthy ears, I'd like to hear the entire song mixed a little brighter, bring the vox forward a bit. Good work.

Thank you and I like your opinion.  This song is new territory for me in its thick guitar arrangement.  I may need to rethink the sweet-spot for the VOX.  A lot of my tunes have more space to work with.  This one, not too much.

First off...  as soon as Soundcloud opened and I saw the background image I had to chuckle.  
 
I agree with Mark - good writing and arrangement, and well performed.   Mix-wise I'm not sure if the entire thing needs to be brighter, but I'd at least start with the lead vocals - they sound a bit too "round" to me ears for this type of song.   It's definitely worth going back in to make some tweaks IMHO!

Thanks guys. Yes, it needs something for sure. I think after a few days I'll work on it again.

Agreed the vox need some work, they sound a tad flat and small. everything else is on the money. Good stuff!!

Wow, I love this song.  The mix I heard sounds just right and radio ready.  I think it just pops out of my speakers and holds my attention.  Super job!

Thank you Lynn, Mark, Steve and Gus. 
Lynn, I'm glad it sounded good there but there must be a tweak somewhere.
I spent some time mixing this in mono.  As you know all of the center is louder.  I think when I went back to stereo I was fooled as to the presence of the main vocal.   The tweak might be as simple as lowering the drum room fader.  We'll see...

ok...I'll avoid all the techy stuff and just say this is a fun, energetic song that needs the vox to come into the spot light....it just really sits way back in the mix...in fact behind everything else in the mix...to include guitars and kit...
 
keep working it but if you hit a brick wall I can give you an alt mix (no cost just for fun) just email me at
