Sounds good!

The levels seem a bit hot though. And the main synth pad has too much mids.
The vocals need more clarity or need to be louder as it's hard to make out lyrics.

Also you may consider making a variation on the main synth riff to stop it from becoming dull.

Good stuff! I thought the harp lead sound had a bit too much mid-range and could be thinned out slightly. Also felt like it should drop out after the 1st chorus, otherwise it starts getting fatigued. Bring it back in half way through the 2nd verse. Snare could do with a slight top end boost. Generally thought it needed a bit more musical variation to keep interest up but overall very nice. Really like the vocals.
Cheers,
Jim
