I really like this song.

When you do guitar fills, don't be afraid to put them in the spotlight. Just from a casual listen it sounded like a synth was playing a repetitive riff under the mix. ( was that the guitar?)

I heard several places where you could easily have inserted a simple fill lasting about 6 seconds each, give or take. Starting at the 1 minute point, and 1:55 point. I noticed a few other opportunities for shorter fills between the sections. I like to use different instruments at times for the fills. It adds interest and a different texture to the overall sound. I could hear guitar as well as piano fills. For fills, just use phrasing. A few properly played and placed notes wins the day. Piano works really well for using just a few notes for a fill.

The overall song itself was really nice and has that laid back pop feel to it. Nice work you can be proud of.
