Build me a Suno or Udio prompt for a song that doesn't sound like generic AI slop.
SONG TOPIC / VIBE: {what_the_song_is_about_or_for}
GENRE: {be_specific — 'lo-fi indie folk' beats 'folk'}
MOOD: {nostalgic / driving / melancholic / triumphant / chaotic}
INSTRUMENTS YOU WANT TO HEAR: {3-5_instruments}

VOCAL STYLE: {gruff_male / breathy_female / spoken_word / no_vocals / etc.}
REFERENCE ARTISTS (sound, not lyrics): {2-3_artists}
LENGTH: {Suno generates ~2min by default — extend with 'Continue'}

Sample output
SONG: A nostalgic indie-folk track about an old apartment you moved out of years ago.
1. Suno description box (188 chars):
Mid-tempo lo-fi indie folk, 84 BPM, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, light brushed snare, warm Wurlitzer keys, slight tape hiss, breathy female lead vocal. Vibe of Phoebe Bridgers' 'Funeral'. Sad but soft.
2. Lyrics
[Verse 1] Third floor walk-up on Oak and Vine, The kitchen tap dripped on the wrong side. The radiator hissed all night, And I called it sleep.
[Chorus] I don't live there anymore. I don't live there anymore. But I remember the door, And the rug, and the floor.
[Verse 2] First snow came in October that year, The windows wept and the heat didn't work. I ate cereal cross-legged on the chair, And I called it peace.
[Chorus] I don't live there anymore. I don't live there anymore. But I remember the door, And the rug, and the floor.
[Bridge] Someone else has my address now — Does their tap still drip on the wrong side? Does the radiator hiss when it snows? Do they call it sleep?
[Outro Chorus — softer] I don't live there anymore. I don't live there anymore. But I remember the door... And the rug, and the floor.
