first this that caught my attention was... what's with the synth line? Maybe you might want to use some other patch? It sounds a bit... too "raw" saw wave-ish.
You might also think about redoing the vocal doubling as the time is kind of off. (the 2 don't match) Well, it may be an effect but I personally prefer my vocal dubs to be right in sync.
Nice guitar sound tho. I wish I can play guitar.

this sounds weirder than you may have intended to, specially when you hang on the mega reverbs and delays.
I think the song can win alot if you transform (remix) the relative dry parts also in some manner, it creates some distant from the extremely soft coloring of the sounds and the voice.
This way you can turn into your profit the by Ken mentioned harmonic weirdness, which is something me also kept busy.
This weirdness (to my typical 'western' ears at least) could get a nice feature if the mix is alianated a bit.
Ah wait, Ken is talking about the sinc of the two voices, not the harmony, scuse me
Yet I do have the feeling that I'm hearing unusual harmonies, but I must admit harmony is my weakest side
(with the sinc I don't have trouble )

I updated a new mix of the song with a few slight changes.
- The Vocals seem at least a bit more in sync
- I was a little more careful with reverbs
and delays this time
- tried to make the mix a little more
transarent.
- replaced the synth sound with a Farsifa
(don´t ask me why, but somehow I need to
have a lo-fi kind of sound there)
- made the acoustic guitar a little wider
Well, I think the harmonic weirdess results from my mediocre singing abilities. I can´t do any better.
Mixing "real songs" is quite new to me, and I find it pretty difficult. Until now I only produced more ore less electronic stuff, where I felt much more free to experiment with mixing and effects. The most interesting sounds came when I did things "wrong". Acoustic productions require some more patience, I guess.

I think it's great. The guitar and vox are excellent. The only thing you've got to watch are the little unplanned knocks and taps on the guitar. Somehow the electric guitar doesn't fit in the mix. The synth sound is wonderful. And the ending is sort of strange......
All in all though, I really liked it.

There is nothing wrong with harmony, not in terms of usual harmony nevertheless.
I like your voice, its quite balmy, but they are definitely too far back, they should be closer in the mix. I know that all singers, if they mix their own voice, tend to put it lower than what they should, this happens all the time.
Please, put your voices a bit lauder and make them sound more spacious. Perhaps you could use a little bit of delay, I mean, so little that you don’t realise that it is a delay, but it bigger the sound up.
I like the mood of this song, pretty nice!
