Suno prompt

A brooding shoegaze track blending indie rock with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 102 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and melodic lead, built on suspended chords, leaving a warm and enveloping atmosphere.

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