Synthwave / Retrowave Suno Prompt Generator

Neon-lit 80s nostalgia, analog synths, and sunset highway drives. The sound of VHS tapes and chrome horizons: gated reverb, saxophone leads, arpeggiated basslines, and a menacing analog low end.

Lyrics & Arrangement
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1 – First female vocal, DX7 piano comps while bass drives forward, vocal tells the story over tight electronic groove]
Photocopier room, half past ten
Warm glass from the last job someone ran
I press my palm and breathe again
The closest thing to touch since day began

[Pre-Chorus – First female vocal, Percussion drops out entirely, leaving sustained harmony and voice]
The overpass collects the evening fog
I walk through it like reading someone's blog

We drove the coast because the tape was long
And the tape was the entire plan
Forty minutes to the end of side one
And we turned around when it ran

[Verse 2 – Second female vocal, Arpeggio runs behind the voice without competing]
The lobby clock runs three minutes fast
Everybody knows but no one cares
We all arrive before we need to
