Ah yes, v2 is bobbing along with more gusto, well done! I really do like the way you've EQ'd this and shaped the general tone of the song (perhaps just a touch on the bright side...but that's going to be playback device dependant), especially the vocal which was challenging. Some of it's sibilance is coming through; coupled with it's reverb it's making the treble stack up a bit, but a quick filter on the way into the reverb and a tweak on the de-esser would nail that.
The piano/rhodes gig at 1:28 was really difficult to sort out, I was hoping you might have had a go at spanking the piano to bring it's attack out. The song puts them in the spotlight, so [I think] they need to have a larger prominence. The trouble is, they didn't want to cooperate without a fight. It's tricky. None of my NI Kontakt libraries were loaded (long story) so I didn't have a chance to exploit the MIDI which Patrick has included....I think the piano would have been easier to work with a different patch.
Perhaps bringing the UFO out a touch more at 2:57 by a smidgen might help lead the transition into the chorus, a nudge on the BV's fader...but I'm fishing for tweaks now!
Nice mix...even if you were cautious with the horns on the outro (that's probably a good health and safety practise!)
I'm glad you had a real bash with a v2 in the end.
Looking forward to the next project,,
