First thing, good voice, very listenable. The voice is the main thing on any recording, if you can't sing forget it. You are fortunate.
Mixing - OK you did say it was just a demo I know, so you may already know that the bass (if there is any?) was totaly lost in the mix. The drums were way back and feable - maybe deliberate? The bass drum was EQ'd strangely. I couldn't hear it at first till I squashed my headphones to my ears then heard a strong but verl low frequency bass drum - needs some mid tones to give it punch.
The song - was pleasing, nice epic ballad in the making. I think you need to draw more attention to the 'hook' line "That's the one thing..."(?) maybe by introduucing a harmony vocal each time it occurs in the song - just would lift it from the rest of the verses.
After the "thats the one thing line..." you strum for two bars, nothing seems to happen, and it's like you're thinking of what to do next. Could I suggest cutting the gap to one bar - I don't think it would harm anything?
Strings coming in was nice. Good to see someone thinking about the arrangement for a change - maybe you could introduce a taster of strings a bit earlier in the song?
Anyway, that's my opinion, for what its worth.
