Yah, I've got to move this project off my old laptop that died during the final stages of editing this to re master.
My low B string was giving me fits eq-ing it.

This is great songwriting! There's so much to hear and enjoy. The melodies, the different sounds. The vocals. I listened to this earlier and now got back to it with a fresh set of ears (Bunny ears as it's Easter time).
At times your vocals reminded me slightly of Leonard Cohen, but there's of a lot more variation with your vocal performance. The way you're using gentle instrumentation, performances and borderline heavy guitar works a a treat. The organ sound fits the song nicely also.

I'll add my "mixing and mastering" related comments about this into the other topic where it's more suitable.

I liked this before and I like it a lot now...

that guitar work alone is incredible... it's such a big sound, reminds me of that used by Styx on their biggest selling album ever (Paradise Theater), talking more the rhythm sound here...
the organ is so good too...it has me air keying, air keying I tell you...with a big smile on my face..
lots of wonderful details (which generally your songs do)...
overproduced?  Underproduced?  Produced just right? 

The Eagles took a year on "The Long Run" but I suppose it had something to do with marijuana, etc...ha...
it's ok to get lost in a song... this is worth it.

I hope you don't mind me messing around with your track! I just did it to show the other end of the spectrum. Your mix is dark and warm. This is a quick test and is probably way too overhyped (If this was my song i'd go back to mix at this point. Starting with the snare, lower the cymbals, lower the intro lead guitar etc.), but this might still give you some ideas. It all depends what you're after with the mix - master. Might be something between these, or perhaps you've already arrived there :)

This makes sense only in parts and doesn't work as a whole. Even as an example imho. I just tested this quickly on the speakers.

As an aside: 128kbs - 160kbs is way too low imho. It changes things in audible way.

I damn near spilled my coffee when that guitar came in... wow, i'm digging this.  I can tell alot of work went into this!  Sounds like something Mike Patton would sing.
