Hey, that's different! 
I'm thinking that if the heavy footed kick in the overheads was bothering you, you could have high-passed it, perhaps?
I like the creative take on that, some cool ideas (I like the fade at the end for example, although I would have tried to make the bgvs a bit bigger then, using some doubling, extra harmonies, something?), and the mute of the drums during the 3rd verse is also nicely done. I think the bgvs lack space and warmth, they feel a bit too narrow and restricted around the lead vocals.
Entirely subjective of course but really I'm not fond of the tremolo on the guitar, especially the one on the second guitar on the left, it's a bit heavy handed and distorted as well. I makes the sound darker than it should be IMHO. (I associate tremolo with angst ridden songs, the opposite of how I viewed this song, which to me should be light and dreamy).
On the first guitar, the tremolo is also killing the delay which was a distinctive sound for me in that guitar (which is why it's printed) and was providing a cool pad until the vibes/rhodes come in. I think you could use it starting from this point on, maybe?
Anyway, that's subjective and I like that it's a different take. I enjoyed the listen!
