Very good mix. I like it. But I think it's a little dark to my taste. I wish there is a little more top end to the mix. That would make it sound awesome, brightens up the mix a bit and, perhaps bc of it, the mix would be clearer. I'm not sure about my hearing presently, but I think the snare and the kick in the beginning is a little loud relative to the vocal. And the kick carries some weird lo-mid resonant robbing your mix of its clarity. I also hear a little bit of that in your piano (maybe HP to trim out the fat?) But the vocal is really well pampered. Very skillful. I think I hear some tape sat on the top end of the vocal and some faint delay. That provides some top end to your mix but not enough, imho. Around 3:30-on, again, imho, the main driving force lies in the "Arp." When they kick in (3:42) the gated synths drive the song forward giving it the "exciting climax" (good lord, yep, that too, if it comes to it 
) thus saving the whole song. Yet I hear it only faintly in yours. Btw, where are the hi-hats? (could this be the effect of a lungful of sweet California flowers on my part? Who knows?) the 16th notes playing (or is it 32nd? 
) You can pull some top end to your mix by bringing the hats up in the mix, you know. Good job, nevertheless!
