Wel first of all Marc I would like to thank you for your response.
This morning I just played back the mix outside of the DAW to enjoy the fruits of my labor
. Pressed play and 
the bass was way to loud, making all other instruments sound distant and weird. I was hoping the mix would support the sadness but got lost somewhere. I believe I also monitored this way to loud while mixing.... everything is just gone and Fletcher-Munson took over on the lead vocal too.....
The Acoustic guitars, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted anymore. Because I thought that if I would "tame" the transients so the guitar would "swell" and roll of some high end I would be fighting the piano which has such a warm and half-distant sound (although I have to say that it might be to warm now).
I will not even discuss the drums, They are gone....
Only thing I would like to note in my defense: I wanted to see what it would be like to have a certain amount of time to mix a song.
Everything was going pretty fast.. Until I reached the reverb for the electric guitar, So to make that work worthwile I decided to automate it the way it is near the end of the song( where it has its mini-solo)
Marc, You say you like how the song falls apart in the end. I am not quite sure what you are referring to, If you could explain it to me I would be very happy. And last but not least all those questions and suggestions are welcome
PS. Not a native so if something doesn't make sense please tell me
