Really well done on this one  I particularly like how catchy it is. It's the kind of hook that is a real ear worm. By the end of the tune, I was humming right along. That aside, the vocal performance is on point and you have a great selection of backing tracks being utilized. Great work, and thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Really good track on so many levels... I'm really glad I decided to listen to it! The band was perfect, you are vocal and the vocal harmonies were spot-on, I really liked how you took down the arrangement about three-quarters of the way through with just the strumming guitar... So many things to like about this. One suggestion that I might make, and I don't have the lyric in front of me, but there is one point maybe three-quarters of the way through where you have a really high note and a difficult word to sing, I think it was quote rather unquote, and it seemed a bit strained on that one high note... Other than that, I think you got a winner!

Other than that, I think you got a winner! I think you’re referring to the bridge. The first 2 lines were really difficult for me. I was asking one of my bandmates to sing the song but he’s not comfortable with it too. I tried lowering the song key but the verses becomes low for me.

By the end of the tune, I was humming right along. This might be the Synth Pad. The sustain is longer than the rest of the instruments. I’ll need to adjust the volume animation towards the end to make it fade earlier. Thanks!!!

Good song.
The only thing that sticks out to me is the vocal - there seems to be "proximity" effect going on as well as exaggerated sibilant response.
It could be FX or the mic position.
You do need a de esser and to remove some low mids around the vocal. The bvox seem free from the problem.
The solo seems cool but sounds like it has a different reverb to everything else - it may be room effect - centering the solo and treating it with the same reverb (o&/or add some delay), could fix things.
Narrative wise the hook is good BUT I'd suggest that losing one'self in another is a negative thing.
Top stuff overall.
Cheers

Thanks Rayc.
I have been trying to solve my problem on the vocals since the update of Logic Pro X to 10.3. In this version, they took off the reverb PtVerb and replace it with Chroma Verb. The latter is actually better than the former but I just need to get to know more of it better. My prior mix of this song made the vocal sound as if it's coming under the ground.
Same for the solo guitar. You're observation is right. I'm still trying to learn the new reverb as well as how to mixi vocals properly. I'll try your suggestion on how to fix this.

A nice track Froi, well arranged and put together. Your voice has a nice timbre and the chorus is catchy. I thought the vocals were fine, I can hear a lead vocal and tight harmony which sounds right to my ears.
