trumpet - panned to the left and right (space, reverb, polyrhythmic patterns within the trumpet melody when using the panning technique)
strings - using a melody in the chorus to create a distinct difference in melody in the chorus to avoid over repetition otherwise it could cause the listener to become uninterested in the song.
simple drum pattern and using the tambourine on the off beat for dynamics in the track.
Electric guitar melody using a mixture of chords and arpeggio patterns to create dynamics and a soulful edge within the melody.
The use of the chord progression and rhythmic patterns creates a chilled/relaxing atmosphere and the vocals also has this relaxing performance especially when the harmonies come in as the use of the octaves creates a much fuller and richer sound but the melody specifically of the vocals and the lyrics work well together as the lyrics are very direct and are used to perform to a specific person and the smoothness of the vocals create a very chilled vibe.
The trumpets playing the polyrhythmic patterns of two different melodies at the same time is the lead instrument used in the chorus with vocals almost being used as improvised vocal patterns to create a "singalong" technique rather than a specific vocal hook.
Using the panning technique to create space for each instrument to be heard in the song and to avoid the track from sounding messy or the mix sounding too squashed (as in too many instruments playing on top of each other)
