Tiffany and I did a cover of If You Want Me by The Swell Season from the soundtrack from Once.

I think I commented this on FB :) Really great singing! I would have put a bit more reverb on the voice, and put forward some of the guitars, they don't really balance.

Beautiful!

This is a beautiful song and you arranged and covered it well. The balance between vocals and instrumentations is great. It's all very crisp and transparent. Nice move to put the drums so far back. They really add to the track and the rise in energy.

Your wife sang really well! Track after track she improved always a bit more and now I think she sounds great, so congratulations to her! :D

I think the arrangement is very good. I agree 100% with what @oscillator said about the mixing but also with @jeanette_c's comment about the drums sounding good in the back.
