Very pretty. Listening on headphones, here's what jumped out at me: On the very first word of the song ("Words...") there is sibilance on the "s." It's not terrible, but once I heard it I kept hearing it on all the words that end in "s." The sibilance seems to go away after the first minute or so -- maybe because the singer's delivery is changing as he gets into it, or the track masks it or something, but out in the open at the beginning you might want to try to De-ess it. The mix is fine, and I don't have a problem with the sound stage or balance. Great job.


Thanks Larry. I as well as noticed and let it pass. But, thanks to your observation, I have written the mastering house and asked if I should send a different mix.

Listening on headphones..... wow.... this is gorgeous. 
 
I don't know if you edited it since I listened a few days ago.  The vocals seem to fit a bit better on this listen.
 
Very well done.
 
Now.... the only downside if there is one is that the song is almost 5 minutes in length. BUT.... if the artist likes it and it's going on a CD..... hey, I'm a fan of the longer songs myself....

Very pretty song, like it a lot. I often work as a duo with male/female vocals so the volumes didn't faze me as much. In fact we would make it a feature of our music and although there was some initial reluctance to accept the mix in this way, it was eventually accepted and appreciated. Really good mix, I would be very proud.
