The final rebuild of this song, and again Paul really pulled out all the stops in terms of production. There is a second "middle" rebuild that was still quite good, but Paul went and topped the energy level in this one.
I jotted out the basic melody for this, but my production skills are nowhere near Paul's. I can show you how primitive my initial version was... be warned it's not easy on the ears. I'm putting them last. They're only fun in the sense of hearing just how much better things got with Paul and Jon's help.
Our art here is Steve Swink's storyboard about the dreaded Dust Bunnies.
We have the woodwinds, I think clarinet carrying the lead, with a nice strings section, cymbals and percussion. Paul stylized the melody with some very nice fermatas and grand pauses, then it comes back in with some spicatto strings over a plucked bass section. The second half builds to a really nice crescendo as it all comes home.
