I disagree with the constructive comments.. I do not think the strings are too loud, it is within the context of the theme[violins] and the clanking you refer to Scott, I believe are vibes[possibly accenting the heart with in the text]..And for the vocals, processing sounds fine as in any modern pop recording[listen to whitney without processing the voice and she is considered one of the better vocalist. I have worked with better artist]...If you need a constructive comment from me...it would be an increase of the vocals over the instrumentation, but not much..I personaly hate when vocals bury a good instrument arrangement..
