"Songs In the Night (Psalm 77)" Alternative pop

You should call it Psalms in the night :-)

I can tell this was mixed by the drummer.

Nice song. The guitars are just a bit low in the mix. The bass and bass drum are fighting for the same space. and your vocals seem muddy. 

Don't take it as a downer. I like the song. It has a nice feel and a great hook. 

Well done! 

I tried to follow the lyrics in Psalms 77, but maybe I didn't get what your thoughts were as to Psalms 77. The song was nice and the singing was very good. Instrumentation fit together nicely. Praise the Lord for His many gifts. Peace be with you. Blessings, John

Thank you all for listening and commenting.  I uploaded a new version that hopefully fixes some of your comments.

Guitarpima - now that you mentioned, the vocals do sound a bit muddied.  I added eq to cut the low end.
notnat - harmony would be interesting.  Let me play around with that.
theguitarplayer - The short answer: I used quite a bit of the phrases from Psalm 77, therefore the name.  The long answer: These psalms always facinates me.  Why in a religious book, would they include such a downer?  Now these psalms usually end in a more upbeat tone that this song.  I think these psalms are there so that when we encounter these situation we remember these "Psalms in the night" (the band19 you are right!) and be encouraged.
lynn,  bapu, -  glad you liked the song.

Thanks Bob. It is the cymbal that is panned to the right where the guitar is at. Let me try to switch that.

It's good to hear from you again Vincente!  This is a nice song and I appreciate the words. 

I think the vocals are a little hard to understand for some reason.  But your singing is great.  

Well played and nice arrangement! 

Janet - Thanks for listening. I have the same comment to myself. Singing and getting the words come out clear was very difficult. I think there are trick and techniques to do that. I will do a search for it.
ABeautifulVirus - Thanks for listening also. I just put out a new version to tame the drums a bit.
Warren - Thanks for liking the song.

Love the mix of the Indie sound and the message.
I like your voice Vicente but agree that you could use some harmonies to help support the chorus melody.

good playing and singing. nice song and sounds.

i like the asian sensibility to the melody, and certain harmony elements....
i do not know what your 'nationality' link is, but i really like the note choices, that to my ears, sound like a very natural thing to you....

mix:
the drums, just sound like they are way down at the end of a long high school hallway, and seem completely disconnected from the vocal, because of the mix treatment.

i think you should mix the drums dry.
or at least, mostly dry.

get the kick really nice, and then blend your voice (only) to sit right on top of the drums, as if there is no music at all.

then, bring all the music back in...
just enough to fill it up.

that's just me, that's the way I hear it...... so please ignore, or, better yet, just try the experiment, and see what happens.


i like this song.

Vicente, I really enjoyed this - well played all the way around.

That distorted guitar is really well played and fits in perfectly.

Hello Vicente
GREAT piece of music. The song, especially the guitars  and the verb used on the mix have a U2 vibe. The real star of this piece are your vocals . . . smooth.  KUDOS!

Mark, ohgrant, James, geeare1, drumstixkev - Thank for your kind comments
paulo - Thanks for the suggestions.  Let me play with it.  And thanks for welcoming me back. 

Uploaded a new version with drier drums but not completely dry. It needs some reverb to have this moody atmosphere.
