This is a great song to mix because of how well it was recorded and level of musicianship brought to the table.
What I hear in your mix is the following.
The cymbals are washy and are in front of nearly everything.
When they are hit, they take over the focus of the mix.
If you have any compression on the overheads try removing or use the "parallel" technique.
The bass guitar is subdued and overall bass presence is lacking energy.
Start with the bass guitar first and then work your way to the kick drum and then the master buss if all else fails. This can be a challenge because, adding more bass frequencies to a mix has the potential of fogging things up resulting in a muddy production.
I personally would like to hear more depth from the mix in general.
Experiment with panning and reverb to place the instruments where you would like to hear them in the stereo field.
Think three dimensional. Volume is vertical, Panning is horizontal and Reverbs and Eq will place things either forward or to the rear.
I hope this was helpful.
Best.
