Nice work! There's definitely an energy to it, and the arrangement is

great. The strings sit in there nicely, filling things out without being

overly audible themselves. I love the delay on the vocals, too :)
The only feedback I have is that it sounds a bit mid-heavy to me -- I

think I'd like to hear a bit more of a bass thump from the bass guitar,

and more high-end as well, possibly from the drums and vocals (and a

little on the guitar perhaps as well, or a little on all three!).
As you mention, this might be because you're mixing on headphones. I do

the same, just because I don't have monitors, and I've found it hard to

judge those things. The only advice I can give is to compare your mixes

to commercial tracks that have a similar sound, and listening to your

mixes on any other systems you have at hand to see how they sound there.
Thanks
