Perhaps as a suggestion you could edit the start to take out the 2 bar count-in, which is ideally not part of the song.

I also think the vocal could come forward slightly in the mix.

It includes an interesting ending. Somehow there's and anticipation that it will resolve to a different chord, but leaves some suspense instead.

Thanks AudioTrack,
PSB's do have a deft hand at melancholy with a pulse.
I'll def excise the count in when I've had it mastered. I keep them in so I have an accurate time frame if someone comments based on time. M.E. prefer to have a couple of seconds out front for a variety of reasons. Once I've collated an albums worth of masters I'll definitely be chopping those bit off.
The vocal will be resettled once the cello is in - I'll attempt to have both at the same level.
My fingers did move to a resolving chord for the end but I resisted.

Cheers
