Try to build a song with a beat, a vocal line (or two), a rhythm instrument, and a melody instrument. Any great song can be broken down into these elements. If you need more stuff to make the song work, you've missed the boat, and no matter how many parts you pile on, the song's never going to get out of the harbor.
Happy sailing.
