-I’ve added a xylophone
-I redid my two guitar parts to illustrate the idea begun in Pescadero by Jason of baton passing.
-I added backing vocals
-I recorded and comped lead vocals
-I edited existing guitar parts to shape the arrangement and ducked the piano out of the final chorus.

I believe my work is done here. There was some discussion as to whether we want to bring in a better realized piano in the ending chorus. I’m open to it. I like the big, unconventionally forward backing vocals and am fairly certain the lead vocals comp is correct. Guitar parts are to illustrate an idea and can be replaced if you want them in a different tonal spectrum and / or can play a better part.
