Suno prompt
A tender indie rock track blending folk with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 107 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and sparse dark cymbals. Acoustic guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male vocal delivers a restrained and conversational performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with an intimate dry space on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on simple triad chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.
Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
