BETTER WAY

[Mixinthecloud]

V2's lead vocals are spot on. Personally I'd like to hear the guitar solis hotter and I'm not sure I'm sold on the doubling and panning of the first guitar. There are a lot of parts inherent in the song and does not call for more stereo separation of a single part. That being said, the sounds you enumerated are great. I think I am also hearing some minor distortion at the very end with the vocal chorus. This is something I had to be careful with in my mix and have heard in many of the mixes of this fine song. I don't know if I would characterize this as a "happy song" as he is basically apologizing for being a jerk for something he said yesterday.
