Sun On Our Shoulders
v4.5-all
retain the original arrangement, groove and vocal performance, keep the warm modern alternative rock feel, do not change tempo or core structure
enhance melodic guitar presence throughout the track, introduce a subtle recurring lead motif that supports the chorus and becomes slightly more expressive in the outro, warm clean tone with light delay and shimmer, no flashy solo
extend the ending: repeat final chorus once more with slightly fuller instrumentation, add layered backing vocals for warmth, then transition into a gentle instrumental fade-out with melodic guitar carrying the final theme
maintain organic production, sunlight-like warmth in the mix, relaxed but steady drums as in original version, no added heaviness, no dramatic build-up
preserve the deep warm male vocal tone, relaxed and emotionally grounded delivery, subtle gratitude in the performance
