I've always liked this song, and considering that I've heard it covered here several times, others do, too. I agree that the mix is slightly off. The snare drowns out the vocal and is too wet. A little widening of the strings might help give this some spatial balance, as well. Turn the vocal up, the snare and reverb down, and widen the strings, and see how that plays. All in all, this is just a few minor tweaks from being a gem.
