Well done on the vocals. The pitch, phrasing, and enunciation are all spot-on. You also did a much better job of syncing the tracks than I did on my previous rough mix.
I think I can speak for Wendy in saying that we would be happy to hear feedback. If you think something doesn't sound right or could be improved, please say so!
I have a couple of suggestions. Wendy, you should feel free to take them or leave them; this is just my opinion. I'm happy to have you make the final call.
1) I think I'd prefer more reverb on the vocals and perhaps slightly more on the guitar. The vocals sound to me like they are in a different space than the keyboards and drums. The latter have much more reverb and sound like they are in a big space, whereas the vocals sound more intimate, as if you were standing next to me. The same is true of the guitar, but to a lesser extent. But perhaps some might prefer to have the vocals more up front in this way.
2) I'd prefer the drums to be louder, especially the two big climactic bass drum hits at 3:24 that lead into the chorus/outro. Again, this might just be my own taste; others may disagree. (In the previous rough mix I did, Terry commented that he thought the drums were too loud, so maybe I just happen to like loud percussion!).
Again, YMMV, and you (Wendy) should feel free to ignore my suggestions as you see fit.
I love the way the chorus/outro builds. The first two times (3:26), you have just the vocals. The next two times (3:46), the whistles enter. The next three times after that (4:06), there is a subtle part (predominantly louder in the right channel) that is a blend of clarinet and keyboards, but sounds like neither (it actually sounds like a French horn section to me). And I think the new ending works well, too.
