Suno Prompt × Post-Hardcore

Friend of a Friend

Adapted from “La Belle Dame sans Merci” — John Keats, 1819

Method: Extend (two-generation stitch). Prompt 1 generated Verse 1 at 155 BPM melodic. Best take selected. Prompt 2 applied via Suno’s Extend feature from the end of that take, swapping the Style of Music to the 180 BPM aggressive prompt. “Get Whole Song” (three-dot menu → Create → Get Whole Song) combined both halves into the final file.

Prompt 1 — Initial Generation (Verse 1, 155 BPM)

Style of Music
melodic post-hardcore, thick downtuned distorted guitars, wall of distortion, double kick drums, raw powerful female vocals, steady and fracturing, relentless intensity, 155 BPM
Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] (melodic post-hardcore, steady build, downtuned guitars swelling, measured double kick, building tension not exploding) [Verse 1] (steady, controlled, recounting calmly, melodic vocal delivery) He picks me up at seven and he’s early by ten minutes He’s leaning on the car and smiling when I come outside I know him through Sarah, he was at her birthday back in June He opens my door and I say you really didn’t have to do that The restaurant is loud and warm and he remembers what I drink He tells a story about his dog and I’m laughing with my whole face He puts his hand on the small of my back to guide me through the parking lot His hand is warm and I lean into it and I [End]
Exclude Styles

Prompt 2 — Extend Continuation (Verse 2 through End, 180 BPM)

Style of Music
post-hardcore, fast aggressive, thick downtuned distorted guitars, wall of distortion, double kick drums, raw powerful female vocals, numb and shaking, relentless intensity, 180 BPM
Lyrics
[Verse 2] (numb, shaking, barely holding together, aggressive, raw, desperate) flinch when the glove touches my spine The light above me is humming and I’m staring at the ceiling She says I’m going to swab the inside of your cheek now I open my mouth and I hold still She says can you tell me what happened after you left the restaurant I went to his place and I She says I need to photograph your arms now I hold them out and they don’t look like mine The paper gown is open in the back and the table is so cold She puts something in a plastic bag and writes the date on it She writes the date on everything [Verse 3] (same aggressive intensity, numb and shaking, no drop) I drive home and I lock the door and I stand in the shower until the water goes cold I don’t go to Sarah’s thing on Saturday and I don’t say why He’s there, I know he’s there because I see the photos on her story He’s laughing in the background of someone else’s picture I mute the group chat and I delete his number but his name is still in my head Three weeks later a girl I barely know sends me a message at two AM She says I heard what happened to you She says he did the same thing to me She says I was a friend of a friend too [Bridge] (half-time, stripped back, heavy and slow) The examiner asks me one more question I open my mouth I have the words I HAVE THE WORDS [End]
