It's quite good, Juan. While it's not my kind of music, I can see it being very popular with the Pop crowd. Still, I really enjoyed the organ in the song, very nostalgic in a weird way. As Robert said, it's a very cute song, and I'm sure you will do great with it. 
(By the way, I'm not an expert on critiquing music, especially the finer details, so others' remarks may carry more weight.)

Yeah, as Rob said, the vocals need to brought out a bit, and perhaps the drums sound a bit thin. Overall though I though it was nice, and given some more polishing of the sound I could see it working well. It's quite a dreamy track, so I think if you could really make the vocals and drums 'pop' (pardon the pun) then I'm sure it would be good.
Only one real problem, there was no 12 minute organ solo followed by a 6 minute ambient break before a gradual post-metal explosion.

 it will be a B-side... they didn't want me to show off there... but in the demos album I will place the solo organ... don't worry...!!!
Thanks for the comments...

You know, I thought the exact same thing when I heard it.

A song all of us can relate to.

That's what I thought the first time I read it...

Oh thanks... I forgot to post there that she didn't record properly... that was just the guideline and we are about to record with her and maybe place some choruses here and there... but thanks Rob... Yeah... the volume is worring me but as I keep working I'm getting better on this... I should make a new mix of it...

Great song blending jazz and pop sensibilities.
Other than an overall volume issue, I would say that the singer needs to be brought out in many parts (in pop music, the vocals are the most important thing). Very nice voice, by the way.
The strummed guitar during the refrain especially needs a different tone (it sounded bland to me).
I quite like the little quirky organ bit. It's "cute," and cute sells in pop music.
Drums are thin sounding.
Excellent melody and great hooks. I like this song (even though I do not know what she is singing  ).

Hello, this is the third project I'm working with right now, besides of my rock band and my solo project and I do want some feedback and comments to share. This is a pop rock project which is meant for radio airing and strongly mainstream... That's fine with me, this friends do want to "live" from it and they are in the right of... so I help with the keyboards and drum programming and also composition, but this particular song was made by a friend and I did only arrangements. I know, maybe this is not prog but I do want some feedback about production, sound and what feeling it brings... the song is called "Soledades Ajenas" and is in spanish... thanks for your time guys and girls...
Just push play in the box and that's it... thanks...
