There is a lot to like about this. It is an interesting write - a bit "too poetic" for my taste, but I think it works.

Jim gave a thorough critique, I think, but I would disagree on a few of his points. (I do enjoy listening to an occasional Latin song - and I think this one works as one). I thought the vocal had the "energy" it needed (I liked it). And I did not have a problem with the selection of instruments.

There is a bit of difficulty hearing some of the vocal (not much, I don't think). I like the "warmth" of the vocal. The "problem" (if you want to call it that) is that the instruments are all vying for the same frequency range (the middle to low- middle) - including the vocal. The guitars in particular are a big part of that problem. Many of the RealTrack acoustic guitars sound GREAT by themselves, by in a full mix are far too "bass-y", "thick" in the low mid range. That is really the case with the two guitars you have (I think - it would help if you listed the RealTracks you are using - particularly if you want people to talk about the mix.

I believe your acoustic guitars need to have the low end roll off (a bunch) and the high end (EQ) raised to make them "sparkle" and not compete with the rest of the track - and especially the vocal. AND they could be panned a little farther out - they sound like they are fairly close to the center?

These are all simply opinions (as you know). Again, I would suggest that you list the RTs so we can speak to them more specifically...
