Starts really nicely, but then goes a bit wrong (for me, at least).
First verse sounds great - really nice balance, good vocal sound.
The explosion into the chorus works well, although the reverb on the exposed lead vocal is a bit much (and too bright - although maybe that was intentional, to match the lyric...)
In the chorus, the kick is way too prominent, and completely takes the attention way from the vocals. The sounds are all good, it's the level of the kick for me that's the problem.
In the first part of verse 2, the vocal is completely killed by the stereo synth. Also in the middle 8 bit, the vocal seems too low.
I like the vocal effect going in to the 3rd chorus.
In writing this, I've realised that there were fewer issues than I thought, and they're not complex - so, I guess it's just the problems that stick out for me are significant enough to mess up the whole song for me! i.e. 5 minutes of tweaks, and this would be a mix that worked really well for me.
