The instruments that this piece consists of are, Vocals, Violin, piano, Saxophone, Bass Guitar, drums and electric guitar. The tempo throughout this song stays the same basically throughout the whole song, except when the chorus comes the background beat tempo begins to speed up and become louder but then slows back down and begins to quiet down when the verses come back in.The structure of the song is Verse, Chorus, Verse, Verse, Chorus. The main change in the dynamics of the song comes near the end of the song at the end of the 3rd verse and carrying through to the final chorus. The song begins with a very synthesised piano and a very faint sound of drums. The vocal come in at the first verse and the beat tempo stays the same. The electric guitar comes in just before the chorus is sung and followed after a pause the dynamics of the song changes and the background tempo speeds up throughout the chorus and the texture becomes much thicker with all the instruments joining in except the saxophone. The saxophone is played by itself in a solo after the second chorus. The texture is very thin throughout the entire song but becomes much thicker in the chorus, giving it a sound of speeding up because there are so many more instruments for your mind to focus on.
