It's a quite an interesting question, and keeping it short, all I tried is to emphasize the vocal line and the wind instruments, giving it a "country" vibe, with acoustic guitars and drums being the main rhythm drive. The bagpipe theme and the vocal line keeps me thinking of an Irish song, so I wanted to make it sound like one by keeping the acoustic instruments up front!
