Best prompts for Suno for songwriting using storytelling techniques

Compose a character-driven ballad for Suno. Voice: female, intimate, mid-range. Genre: modern acoustic folk with sparse piano and cello. Tempo: 72 BPM, key of G major. Structure: Verse 1 (setup), Pre-chorus (rising tension), Chorus (emotional declaration), Verse 2 (complication), Bridge (turning point), Final chorus (resolution with harmony). Lyrics: tell the story of a single protagonist (Maya, 28, lighthouse keeper) who keeps a secret that shapes her choices. Show emotional progression rather than stating feelings. Provide a memorable 6-line chorus hook that repeats with a slight lyric change on the final chorus. Include chord suggestions for each section and a 12-bar instrumental cello piano break before the bridge.

Compose a cinematic pop-rock song that opens at the inciting incident — the exact moment that changes the protagonist's life. Genre: cinematic pop-rock, tempo 100 BPM, key of A minor. Vocal style: gritty male lead with backing vocal textures. Start lyrics with a single sentence describing the event (e.g., 'The glass shattered on the kitchen floor'). From that moment, follow a clear cause-and-effect narrative across Verse 1 -> Chorus -> Verse 2 -> Bridge -> Final Chorus. Provide a 4-bar punchy hook riff (guitar+strings) that recurs at the start of each chorus and specify a 3-4 second drum fill to cue the bridge.

Generate an indie-R&B song where the first eight bars contain three sensory lines (sight, sound, smell) that establish the scene. Mood: late-night, melancholic. Tempo: 84 BPM, key of C minor. Vocal: soft, breathy female lead with layered background harmonies. Structure: Intro (instrumental ambient pad) -> Verse 1 (sensory opener) -> Chorus -> Verse 2 -> Bridge -> Outro. Ensure the chorus connects the sensory details to the protagonist's motive. Provide a two-line melodic motif (to be sung at the end of each verse) and specify reverb and vocal doubling levels.

Produce a three-act folk-pop song with clear musical shifts for each act. Act I (setup): sparse acoustic guitar, solemn mood, 0:00-0:45. Act II (confrontation): introduce drums and electric guitar, key modulation up a whole step, 0:45-1:45. Act III (resolution): strings and choir, return to original key with altered chorus lyrics, 1:45-3:15. Lyrics should follow the protagonist's journey from hope to crisis to acceptance. Include exact timestamps for section transitions, a chorus that appears at 0:30, 1:10, and 2:10, and guidance for vocal dynamics (soft -> strained -> open).

Create a pop-soul track where a 3-word lyrical motif ('old paper boat') and a 3-note melodic motif recur in every chorus and shift in arrangement and harmony each time to reflect character growth. Genre: pop-soul, tempo 92 BPM, key of F major. Define how the motif is arranged in Chorus 1 (simple, piano), Chorus 2 (strings & choir), Chorus 3 (full band with synth pad) and how the melody changes (interval shifts). Provide final chorus lyric that reinterprets the motif positively.

Compose a duet for Suno with two characters (A: older sibling, steady baritone; B: younger sibling, fragile soprano). Genre: acoustic pop, tempo 88 BPM, key of D major. Structure: Intro -> Verse (A speaks) -> Verse (B replies) -> Duet Chorus (overlap) -> Bridge (argument) -> Final Chorus (reconciliation). In lyrics, prefix each line with 'A:' or 'B:'. Provide melodic intervals for overlapping chorus (thirds and sixths), and indicate a 6-bar vocal counterpoint in the bridge where the characters sing different sentiments simultaneously before harmonizing in the final chorus.
