A brilliantly crafted song.. It might be worth it for you to drop a few bucks in a studio with an engineer. I know that's easier said than done.

Hello and First of all, Thanks for sharing your song...It takes guts to put yourself "out there" like that for people to tear it apart

I like the song and agree with some of the comments about the Classic Rock and Neil Young vibe, which is great!

As far as the mix is concerned, I think you need to have all the instruments share the same acoustical space, and what I mean is, with the use of Ambient effects (Verbs & Delays)...This mix sounds like your drummer was in a giant empty garage, and the vocalist was confined to a coat closet, and then the acoustic guitar was in a bedroom with a dynamic mic that is picking up room reflections as much as the actual guitar...
So, maybe back off the room mics and/or reverb to bring the drums into the same warm, dry room as the electric guitars, etc.
Just a thought that may help things to sound cohesive. I'd be curious to hear you try some of these things, and maybe play around with some smooth compression to help bring more low mids on the bass.

Best of luck to you!
