Electric guitars, bass, keyboards (electric piano, organ, flutes, strings, string synth), MIDI drums
A slow instrumental piece, and though composed mostly of major chords and only two minor chords, it still comes off as a bit melancholy. The main guitar part is played on the Stratocaster, and could probably stand alone as it never stops and encompasses many of the melodies, though it's a rhythm track. The lead melody is played on the Les Paul. Electric piano comes in support after the first 4 bars, then gives way to organ before flutes take over for the B-section. This switches abruptly to string synth while the Strat changes to a brighter, spacier part for the bridge. The Telecaster comes in on the left, first with harmonics, then tremolo-laden chords. Two E-bows played in harmony on the Les Paul fill up the second half of this part before leading back to the main A-section. Clean harmonics with tap delays precede a heavier solo by the Les Paul, backed by a string section. This leads back into an extended B-section with the flutes, leading back into the final verse. This features a slightly clip-toned Les Paul for the reprise of the original melody, crescendoing to the end.
