Suno prompt

A tender indie rock track with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 73 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. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on lush ninth and eleventh 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.
