You don't want it to seem like it is being told by "the voice of god" instead of the character that it is supposedly coming from. | |

That description of setting might be vastly different than if your character was suicidal. (This also depends on the point of view of your narrator to some degree.) Your happy character might notice unseen birds chirping, but depressed guy might not notice anything but the fog. | |
