| The main keyboard patch is what I personally don't enjoy much (not the pad during the chorus, but the one in the intro & the first portion of the verses).
I don't really hear anything super-negative about the mix, per se'... it's just a matter of choices & what you're going for - which is hard for someone else to determine if they don't necessarily know what your intent was. If you're looking for something more emotional, then the only thing I could suggest, based on that one mix is that it doesn't have enough interesting stuff going on in the low end. Again, I don't know what you were going for, but what I'm missing is some kind of low-end drive or push or SOMETHING that resonates below the sternum - literally. Once you get that going, then you can worry about how to make the rest of it sparkle. You want your mixes to give off some kind of emotion, part of that is something that creates a physical sensation... the right kind of thump on a kick or a nice melodic bassline in a tune like this, perhaps. It's not ALL about low-end, of course, but that's one element that I feel is missing from that particular mix... something engaging going on down there.
