Hi!
First off - not bad!
I do have a couple of thoughts whilst listening though -
The side stick is a little loud compared to the vocal. I'd imagine you'd probably want the vocal (and possibly the harp too) to be the main feature? At the moment I feel the side stick and snare is occupying thtat slot.
I think the mix overall could do with a little lift around 3-4k on the mix bus - to balance out the low end.
Reverb smooths things out. It also tends to push things back in the mix and also makes the instruments not quite as defined as they might be perhaps?
Other than that - pretty good!
I'm not quite sure what happened with the library reference mix for this. It might be worth checking out the Telefunken video of this track if you haven't seen it already.
