Vocals are panned to the hard left at :40 for 3 seconds and acoustic guitar is panned hard right for the same 3 seconds.  Clapping centered in the beginning then panned to the right.  Throughout the song the piano is quieter than most of the instruments until 2:09 where there is a piano solo at 2:09. Around 1:55 the violin is panned to the left around -5. At 2:23 the male vocals is panned to the left around -5, then comes back to center. Cymbals on the drums sound panned to the left compared to the rest of the drum set.  This is a very energetic song and all of the instruments work together.
