How far have I progressed?

This is a remix of a track that I did a few years back.  All the instruments tracks are identical in both recordings although I have re-done the lead vocals in the new mix.  All other differences are simply in the vsts and plugins used.  I have no doubt improved in playing terms and knowing how to get stuff recorded so could probably improve the bass and guitar parts but just wanted to see what post production could do for this track.

 

Please feel free to comment on the mix, production or indeed the song itself.

 

  And here's the original recording:

I thought the first was the original then I noticed the text between. First one is definitely better sounding with more clarity. Although to my ears it sounds in a mid range frequency.

Certainly a cleaner remix and decent toon as well 👍

Thanks, the lyrics are semi autobiographical although it was at Heathrow that Mrs Nicko failed to meet me at the designated point.  The story is much more complicated than the song and not only did I fail to get my lift home she'd parked in a car park and neglected to take payment with her assuming that I'd pay the charge.  The end result was that I had to take a taxi to the airport to rescue her and the car.  Good job I didn't live far away.
