Hey. I just got done mixing this, and I'd love for you to bash it and tell me what needs fixing! Thanks a lot!

 
Just my preference, but I would dial the synths back a bit, bring the drums forward and let them sit just beneath the vocal. I'd also pull the doubling off the vocal for the first verse at least and bring it in at the first chorus...let the song build to a crescendo. Layer as you go instead of putting it all out there at the beginning. Also, I'd hold the guitar until the second verse.
 
I updated the mp3 on sound cloud. Thanks for your input. I did pull the synths back some. I also took out the guitar for the first verse, and brought it back in for the chorus. I also got rid of the doubled vocal track until the chorus. After listening through it again, I still hear a few notes which are off -- mostly on the word "shining". I'll go back through and fix that minor stuff. Anything else major stick out?
 
The changes are sounding pretty good so far...I'm longing for some vocal harmonies on the choruses....
