The prompt
A restless hard rock track with high energy and a swung feel at 118 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male vocal delivers a raw and unpolished performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding vocal clarity and melodic lead, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.
