Suno prompt

A tender shoegaze track blending indie rock with high energy and a syncopated feel at 80 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and shimmering open hats. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding melodic lead and vocal clarity, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
