I felt the vocals needed something more effect wise. They sound very bland to me except where you filter then which is pretty effective. For my ears this has enough highs. I really think the vocals would benefit from some sort of delay effect mostly, if not that and more. Also maybe some interesting reverb effect. It just sounds, I hate to say it but cheap. The vocals themselves are fine though, just the processing on them could be much better in my opinion. The song itself I really enjoyed but you should go back and polish it up some. Just because you do it just for a hobby doesn't mean it has to sound like it. I really enjoyed this and want to see it better.
I get what you mean and will think about the vocal effects. I usually don't add a lot of reverb but more delay. In this particular case I don't think I used any delay at all, as I kind of liked the "disconnected" laid-back feeling (sort of like the old Pet Shop Boys hits with super busy mixes but vocals staying very "neutral" to the lyrics). In the next song I'm planning to upload, there is A LOT of delay - maybe too much of it. I will definitely go back and do some more polishing "over time", as the song goes.
Well, it's not really a pop song in the normal sense as it's too long and there is no real song structure, just a bunch of verses and no real chorus. From a structural viewpoint it's kind of crazy. 
On the other hand I think it's the lack of structure that makes it interesting (to me anyway) - you never know what's coming next.
