on top of an ORCHESTRA (fine line) and a CHOIR (lights up) and a GOSPEL CHOIR (treat people with kindness) the instrumental choices on fine line are something i love about the record so i’ll list all the instruments used below; i put which song(s) for the more seldomly used ones

a dulcimer (used on CANYON MOON)
