pull the harpsichord further back, bring the drums up, boost the bass, add a pitch corrector to the vox. back off the overall high end. the vox isn't sitting in the mix well enough either. kind of on top of everything.
 
I'd boost the bass quite a lot. I can hear it, but i'd like to feel it a little, because it seems he whole song is a little shallow. By that I mean its like everything is sitting in the mid to high frequencies. Is the bass midi? theres one section where it comes in and everyhting else is quiet, and it sounds very "bouncy" for a lack of a better word.

Definitely turn down the harpsichord (sounds more like a banjo-ey plucked acoustic guitar to me). Maybe add a little bit of a de esser onto the voice, I think having a very high frequency roll off also might help with that.

The drums seem to be much more reverby than the rest of the track, and makes them feel a little out of place. I'd rather hear them less reverby and a bit more prominent in the mix.

I wouldnt use any vocal pitch correction, the style of the music seems to accept the pitchiness.

Anyway, I'm just trying to help out, if someone more experienced or talented comes along and says the complete opposite, please, go with what they have to say :p
 
More bass, less harpsichord. Is there something you can do to the harpsichord to make it less harsh? Is it a MIDI part? Can you swap in a piano sound instead? The guitar solo's got so much space on it that it doesn't really fit in the mix. The vocal's kinda pitchy on 'round me'. It's a nice tune and she's got a lovely voice but it's getting buried in the mix.
 
Bright into brittle I'm afraid.
Were you using a sub woofer when monitoring?
Lift the vox a little but round them, out a little too.
Mellow the hell out of the keyboards/guitars (?), bring back some middle & bottom and you'll be on the way.
