Hi everyone, I wasn't able to be on our forum for a month or so. Sorry for that But I was able to work on some songs; 2 remixes and a new one. This one. I released it a day or so ago: Middle of the Night, https://on.soundcloud.com/yc7ju
The idea for the song was not so very original; I mostly lie awake for some hours in the middle of the night. Thinking of everything, like the making of this song ;-) I hope to hear what you think of it. Hans ============================================ the middle of the night (c) HWBerkhout 2023 In the middle of a night I lay with my eyes wide open Because of all the tensions that can't wait They buzzed around me like raging angry birds And that night I became afraid chorus I always slept so well, but then the world changed Problems became so huge Wars, hatred, and greedy ego's, there are so many But in the morning I haven't solved any In the middle of the night I have my eyes wide open Disturbing thoughts that cannot wait They swirled around me like bloodthirsty bats And each night I became more afraid chorus I always slept so well, but when the world changed Problems became so huge Wars, hatred, and greedy ego's, there are so many But in the morning I haven't solved any The middle of the night I fear that time I tried sleeping in the middle of the day but people warned me I must stay awake then Else I chase them away Solo Bridge Oh, I wish I could sleep!

Hello Hans.
Welcome back.
I like your song.
It must be difficult writing a song in a language different to what you are used to.
Do you write it originally in your own language and then translate it to English?
I'm asking because some of the lines seem a little awkward and mechanical, though they are understandable.
Your production is good to my ears although I would reduce some of the effects.
All in all, a good song.
Vic

Hans, what a great and true song.
I loved your chorus
"I always slept so well, but when the world changed
Problems became so huge
Wars, hatred, and greedy ego's, there are so many
But in the morning I haven't solved any"
I liked your vocal and backing tracks.
Super mix.
Sounds great to me.

Vic Thanks for your reply. And to dive into the main issue, no I don't write my songs in Dutch first (only Dutch songs of course). I sometimes check sentences or lines on certain words, or the way you write them. You noticed some awkward and mechanical use of my English. I can think of one line in particular ("In the middle of a night sleep I'll find") where you might say it is a bit awkward. But I did that deliberately. And I always try to avoid 'mechanical' use of words. So I invite you to show me 'the errors' you noticed. I can learn from that. Thanks Vic, Hans

Very cool production choices, the hard panned guitars create a great drive.
Nice dramatic vocals.
I like your song, Hans!
PS: Whenever I can't sleep at night, I get up and get stuff done. There's no reason to waste useful time lying around.

Hans, I also can relate to working on songs in the middle of the night. And then when I wake up many times they are completely gone. I liked the arrangement. Good instrumentation. It’s a great theme for the song and you’ve created some fine lyrics. The mix is very good and your vocal delivers the message well. Nice one, Tom

Hullo again, Hans
A few suggestions below.
Vic.
In the middle of the night I lay with my eyes wide open
Because of all the tensions that can't wait
Buzzing around me like angry birds (raging and angry have the same meaning in this context so lose one of them)
And those nights I became so afraid (It seems you are having more than one sleepless night so use "those nights").
chorus
I used to slept so easily, but then the world changed (easily is a better word to use in my opinion)
Problems were driving me insane
Wars, hatred, and greedy ego's, there are so many
But come morning I hadn't solved any (This chorus is mainly in the past tense so use the word "hadn't ").
In the middle of the night I have my eyes wide open
Disturbing thoughts that cannot wait
They swirl around me like bloodthirsty bats
And each night I become more afraid (This verse is present tense so the words would be "swirl" and "become")

Cool funky song and insomnia topic. Really love how the bridge slows it all down. Also how the theme picks up again after the bridge, but differently, going into the end of the song. Really well constructed and performed all the way around.

Hello Peter, Hans,
Nice song, well sung. Quite dramatic.
Well produced and arranged.
Peter Thanks for your words. Laying awake in the dark is not that dramatic. The thought of not being able to do anything makes it a little sad. I always use those moments to create something (in my head). Hans

Nice dramatic vocals.
I like your song, Hans!
PS: Whenever I can't sleep at night, I get up and get stuff done. There's no reason to waste useful time lying around. I like your compliments and especially your 'ps'. That is what I did all my life (as far as I can recall). I woke up with a melody in my head, jumped out of bed and played it on my guitar, or got ideas and work/write them out. Most of the time my wife was/is not amused then.... Hans

Hi Tom, Just heard your attractive 'mandolin song'. Very good! Hans, I also can relate to working on songs in the middle of the night. And then when I wake up many times they are completely gone. I liked the arrangement. Good instrumentation. It’s a great theme for the song and you’ve created some fine lyrics. The mix is very good and your vocal delivers the message well. Nice one, Tom As I wrote to Brain I can be very active in the middle of the night, but I can also recall times like you discribed. Mostly with things like ideas for lyrics. Thanks for your nice compliments! Hans

Hi Vic, What a very nice action of you to come with these suggestions on the lyrics. And you know what your first post did to me? It still keeps me busy about those lyrics. Of course I know I can't sound like an American. I don't want that. I also can't write lyrics in slang. But I try, because I like to reach that level. I checked my chorus at ChatGTP and asked if the language used in the chorus was correct. It said it was, although it prefered 'anything' above 'any'... My comment on some of your suggestions: In my first verse I uses 'a' night. And in 'that' night I became afraid (for the first time). In the second verse I used In the middle of 'the' night (as a synonym for 'every'). That's the continuation of that first night. So every night since then I became more afraid. I used the simple past tense because I looked back at what happened to me then. That also refers to the words 'buzzed and swirled', because it happend in the past (of each night) . Though I think to accept your suggestions there, because in the second verse i used the present time too. In the chorus I chose 'I always slept so well' because of the rhythm of those words. 'Easily" uses an extra syllable. Probably your words are more correct,but it's that rhythm I need too. You use an interesting frase: 'come morning'. I think this must be slang(?) I thought it would mean something like 'the following morning,or the coming morning'. I used my frase for 'every morning'. It feels as if your frase has another meaning then what I chose. But as I said, I don't know for sure. It's a feeling. Also with your line 'Problems were driving me insane'. It's not that the problems were driving me crazy, but after staying awake all night, I had to conclude that I couldn't solve any of them. I take all your suggestions about words in the present or past tense with me. Don't know when I can alter my song yet, but it will come! So thanks again, and a lot, for all the work you did. Hans Hullo again, Hans
A few suggestions below.

Hi, Hans. Seems I write better in my sleep. Problem there is that it's not as good when i wake.
If you wrote this one while lying awake, you should never sleep. Love that bereak in the middle of the song where you plead the Universe to let you sleep. Seems the Universe enjoys your sleepless songs, too.

Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
