I've been listening to this great song two times (downloaded it ten minutes 
ago), and here is mys first quick impressions:

Starting with the good stuff first (and this is the most important): Great 
singing and voice and great song! And all that musical things with instruments 
and vocals that happens on the chorus makes me wanna play the song over and 
over - "skitbra"!   :-) You have also done a good job in separating the 
instruments in the mix.

Now, some words about the arrangement and the production: The way you compress   
your vocals (and adds some dist?), and cuts frequencies is a little bit much -  
I know: it's quite common to do it this days, but I think your voice have 
qualities that deserves a better treatment. Another word about the drums: The 
HH do have way to high volume and the song will benefit if you do some "pedal 
Hi-hat" in 4/4 when playing on the toms; the float stops when the HH stops. 
Also consider to use some decaying instrument in the choruses.

Did you sit a little long time when mixing? I hope you take some rest from the 
song and try one more time. You and this song deserves to be heard by a big 
audience :-)
