hi peeps,
here is my mix, regards
Nice clean sound!

Drums and cross-phase guitar is a bit too highlighted for me... kinda like the song was just a backing track to practice those instruments. I would prefer vocals to be in the front, accidental (non-repeating) musical ornamentation be second, and the continuous/repeating elements be pushed back. And then gradually try to bring them selectively forward, but stop before they overpower the main elements.

For example, the organ is only mostly there during the intro... yet it is pushed back by the drums (that go on all the time) and the guitar that goes on all the time.

On the other hand, I really like how you highlighted the non-repeating guitar motifs during/after the intro! Do keep highlighting those non-repeating elements! They add color and interest to the musical texture of the strong. They are musical spicing!

And also try to separate the background vocals from the main more so that they can be heard separately when they happen together... probably the best is bringing the main vocal very much to the front (e.g. level and clarity and least amount of reverb), while you can leave the background vocals a bit more behind, so that there is clear contrast.
