Suno prompt

A tender shoegaze track blending indie rock with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 90 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. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding melodic lead and vocal clarity, built on lush ninth and eleventh 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.
