Default "I was wrong" remixed with drums and better vocals... is this in the ball park?

SSSSo, a while back I uploaded a drumless song called I was wrong...

and the consensus was pretty much that the vocals were too uneven and low in the mix.... They also sounded "washy"...

So, is this version better? My bud added drums, and I did my best not to ruin his efforts...

any constructive critic is most welcome

thanks guys.. I'm kinda used to mix hard rock and stuff, so a quiet song was quite a challenge for me

feel free to criticise at will!

I like the way it starts and ends with that thin raw telephone sound. The chords sound really nice played with that sound. It's very atmospheric. I like it at the end too with the singing. I don't like the final "I was wrong" with the clear production at the end. That makes it really cheesy for me.

The drums sound good at the beginning. And the mix sounds good to me. Some nice bass runs too.

Then things get a little bit messy for a while when it gets loud. I'm not exactly what is wrong, but something sounds a bit off to me. It improves again for the final loud section though.

I like a sad song but the lyrics are a little smooshy for my taste.

*Please note I am an amateur and don't know what I'm talking about! : )

Thanks for the feedback!

yeah.. I know, the faster part is iffy when it kicks in..

the drummer was the last one to join in, and that's a BIG no-no.

I think the culprit here are is one of my acoustic guitar track.. I'll try to mess with that.

LOL, the last "I was wrong"... it's truly 50-50 on who likes it, and who doesn't.... it was the same with the first mix I uploaded here. In the end, I just followed my guts.

as for lyrics.. well yeah, I'm not the happiest writer out there.. maybe you should avoid my darker songs then

Nah, it's not dark enough for my taste. I would just like more original combination of words.
