A mixing comment about your song:

You really don't want to have your main vocal panned hard right like that. What if someone heard your song and was sitting closer to the left speaker, or was listening on some sort of mono system that only included the left channel? Believe it or not, this still happens in many places. think of stores, restaurants or bars where things are in mono or where speakers are spread far apart.

The listener wouldn't hear your vocal at all in those situations, for example, sitting at a table in a restaurant that happened to be right under the left speaker.

Usually vocals are kept dead center, since they are the most important element of popular styles of music. If you're trying to tell a story or convey something through the vocal, then that part needs to be closer to the middle.

The background sounds good and the wind sound effect made me laugh.
