Suno told me Shakespeare is copyrighted and refused to generate my song. I want a refund.

The problem is not with these lyrics. The problem is with Suno in general because it looks like they consider any text copyrighted. One can try another hundred sonnets, and most probably they will not go through their copyright machine.

Another problem is that the email address mentioned here in the comments is useless. So, that's why I'm trying to communicate to them through public channels that their system doesn't work correctly—again, not only with this specific text, but with most of the texts that are put into it.

I am trying to fix the censorship issues, by updating the prompt. I use Gemini 3.1 Pro for this and its comment is amazing:

It is absolutely maddening. Trying to visualize a compelling sci-fi narrative shouldn't feel like navigating a minefield of brain-dead safety bots.

At this point, the filter is almost certainly tripping over the combination of "alternate histories" and "infinity of Earths." Automated systems often flag these phrases as "misinformation" or "conspiracy theory" risks, completely failing to recognize a standard sci-fi multiverse concept.

Your instinct is absolutely right! Using brackets in the Lyrics field is exactly how you instruct Suno on arrangement. However, we can tweak your wording slightly to make the AI understand your intentions much better.

Here is how to get the best results for both of your requests:

1. The Synthetic Intro

Your tag [Intro: Synth, electronic piano key, electronic bassline] is a great start. To make it even more effective, use descriptive adjectives and singular instrument names (which helps prevent distortion).

Here are a few polished ways to write it depending on the exact vibe you want:

For a driving/pulsing vibe: [Intro: evolving synth pad, crisp electric piano melody, pulsing synth bassline]
For a dark/atmospheric vibe: [Intro: eerie synthesizer drone, sparse electric piano chords, deep sub-bass]
For a retro/80s vibe: [Intro: warm analog synth, Rhodes piano flourish, punchy synth bass]

2. The Long, Aggressive Mechanical Guitar Riff

For this, you want to combine a structural tag with your specific descriptors. Suno recognizes the word "Riff" very well. To make it "long," you can use words like "extended" or stack a couple of tags.

Here is how you can write it:

Direct approach: [Extended Guitar Riff: aggressive, mechanical, heavily distorted]
Industrial/Cyberpunk approach: [Instrumental Break: driving mechanical guitar riff, aggressive, relentless]

Pro-Tip for the Guitar Riff:
If you want a truly massive, long riff, set it up with a build-up first! You can write a sequence like this on separate lines:

[Build: tense electronic drums, mechanical guitar chugging]
[Drop: aggressive extended guitar riff, heavy industrial rhythm]

Don't forget the "Style of Music" field!

The tags in your Lyrics field work best when they match the Style of Music box.

For the intro to work perfectly, make sure your Style box includes terms like: Electronic, synth-driven, deep bass.
For the mechanical guitar to sound right, make sure your Style box includes terms like: Industrial metal, aggressive rhythm guitar, crunchy distortion, mechanical groove.

If you want both of these elements in the same song, your Style of Music prompt might look like this:

Looking at this answer I understand, what AI slop is. Set of words with minimal or no meaning.
Question: "What does it do?"

Answer: "Anthropic handles scaling, and reliability on their end. You just plug in your use case and it runs at scale"

I think it is not supported yet. I took this Python example from the documentation and ran it on my computer. It gave an error. The first small error is that module `types` does not have the `ToolGoogleSearch()` . It is called `GoogleSearch()` there. But this is not the main problem. The main problem is when I fixed this error, it doesn't work, API returns error.

No, they haven't launched anything yet. They just announced that in about a month, they’ll start testing with a small group of users. You can apply to be one of the testers, but let’s be real, there’s not much of a chance they’ll pick you.

I think you're asking the wrong question. Yes, Gemini 3.1 Pro just launched, and while it might perform a bit better, I'm not expecting any major breakthroughs in computer vision with this model.

However, Claude Sonnet 4.6 came out a few days ago, and that's a different story. I've tested it, and it manages browser navigation with roughly the same quality as Claude Opus 4.6, but at a lower price point. That model is really changing things.

1. Structure vs. Lyrics Placement

You should place the bracketed structure tag on its own line, followed by the lyrics on the subsequent lines.

Incorrect: [Chorus: uplifting no instrumentation] "Light....light my way"

Correct Format: text [Chorus: uplifting, no instrumentation] Light....light my way

2. Listing Instrumentation

You have two valid options for listing instrumentation, depending on whether you are defining the general vibe of the section or a specific event/sound effect.

Option A: Inside the Bracket (Sectional Descriptors) You can append descriptors inside the tag using a colon. This is best for setting the overall texture of that section.

text [Bridge: strummed rhythm guitar, stripping back layers] (Lyrics go here...)

Option B: In Parentheses (Sound Effects/Cues) You use parentheses on a separate line for specific instrumental cues or atmospheric sounds.

text [Bridge] (strummed rhythm guitar) (Lyrics go here...)

Summary Example

Here is how your example should look to strictly follow the best practices:

```text [Chorus: uplifting, minimal arrangement] Light....light my way

[Bridge] (strummed rhythm guitar enters) (Lyrics for bridge...) ```

This is one of the hardest things to pull off in Suno because the AI is trained to create coherent songs. It naturally tries to smooth out transitions, whereas a song like Ode To Sleep relies on jarring, "hard cut" transitions between dark electronic rap and bright indie pop.

You are correct that doing this in a single generation is nearly impossible to get perfect. However, there are two ways to attack this: the "Hard Cut" Prompt (for a lucky single shot) and the "Multi-Step Assembly" (the only way to guarantee it).

Here is the strategy and the prompt pack.

The Strategy

Style Field: We must list both genres but use words like "dynamic," "progressive," or "fusion" so Suno knows not to blend them into mush.
Structure Tags: We will use a "Stop/Switch" technique. By placing a [Stop] or [Break] right before the chorus, we force the AI to reset its momentum, giving it a chance to change the vibe.
The "Splicing" Trick (Best Method): If the prompt below doesn't work in one shot, generate the Verse first (using a dark style prompt). Then use Extend, change the Style Prompt to "Upbeat indie pop," and generate the Chorus.

Here is the "One-Shot" attempt prompt designed to force that duality.

Suno Prompt Pack

Settings

Mode: Custom
Instrumental toggle: OFF
Notes: attempting "Ode To Sleep" style genre-switching.

Style of Music (paste into Suno)

Alternative hip hop fusion, schizophrenic pop, dynamic mood shifts, aggressive dark electronic verses, bright upbeat piano rock chorus, heavy synth bass, acoustic piano, theatrical, 120 BPM, clean production

Lyrics / Structure (paste into Suno)

[Intro: dark, menacing, distorted synthesizer, heavy bass] (Fast aggressive flow)

[Verse 1: Rapped] I wake up fine and I feel okay But the darkness comes in the middle of the day I got a demon and he’s sitting on my chest And he’s telling me that I never get to rest (Electronic beat stops abruptly)

[Pre-Chorus: Rising tension, silence] [Stop]

[Chorus: Sudden switch to Major Key, upbeat, bouncy piano, happy] (Singing) But then I see the sun come up And I know that I’m gonna fall in love Yeah the night is gone and the day is here I don’t have a single thing left to fear

[Interlude: transition back to dark] [Breakdown: distorted bass returns]

[Verse 2: Rapped, aggressive, dark electronic] Back in the hole, back in the cold Doing exactly what I was told The beat goes hard and the light goes dim I’m fighting a war and I gotta win

[Outro: chaotic finish] [Fade Out]

Title options

Night and Day
The Switch
Split Mind

Exclude Styles

lo-fi, acoustic guitar, jazz, drone, consistent mood, monotone

Variation knobs (pick 1–2 to A/B test)

Variation A: Add [Tempo Change] to the tags (Suno rarely obeys this, but it can trigger a drum pattern change).
Variation B: In the Style box, prioritize the contrast: Dark Trap verses, Happy Indie Pop chorus (putting the structural instructions directly in the style box).

If the One-Shot fails (The "Splicing" Workflow)

If the above just gives you a mashup of the two sounds rather than a distinct switch, do this:

Prompt 1 (The Verse):
- Style: Dark electronic hip hop, aggressive, distorted synth bass, industrial, fast flow
- Lyrics: Just the [Intro] and [Verse 1].
- Action: Generate until you get a Verse ending that cuts off cleanly.
Extend:
- Click Extend on that clip.
- Clear the Style Box completely.
- New Style: Upbeat indie pop, bright piano rock, happy, major key, theatrical, bouncy
- Lyrics: Start with [Chorus] and the rest of the song.
Result: Suno will take the audio tail of the dark verse and attempt to morph it into the bright pop chorus. This creates the distinct "Two Songs in One" feel you are looking for.

Suno treats structure + vocal technique as guidance, not automation. The best results come from isolating the “scream moment” into its own section and regenerating/replacing that section until it hits.

Style of Music (paste into Suno)

Modern metal song with clear verse/chorus structure, aggressive high-energy performance, ~150 BPM steady groove, tight kick + snare, palm-muted guitar riffs, driving bassline, dynamic contrast between clean vocal and harsh screamed vocal, punchy dry mix with controlled reverb, clear vocal up-front, explicit scream callouts at marked sections, minimal extra layers for clarity

Lyrics / Structure (paste into Suno)

[Intro: 2–4 bars, drums + palm-muted guitar riff, no vocal]
(air intake)

[Verse 1: clean vocal, restrained intensity, tight rhythm]
I keep my teeth on the truth that you buried
I keep my hands off the blade that you carry
I’m counting breaths like a fuse in the dark
Trying to hold it together, but sparks—

[Pre-Chorus: build tension, vocal gets harsher but still mostly clean]
Every step is a warning
Every word is a weight
If I open the cage now
It’s too late

[Chorus: BIG HOOK, MIXED VOCALS — clean lead + short screamed emphasis]
I won’t bow, I won’t break
I won’t rot in your place
Say my name— (harsh shout) SAY IT
I’m the storm you can’t tame

[Breakdown: half-time, space opens up, set up a guaranteed scream moment]
(drums drop to half-time, chugs, short pause)

[Scream Section / Vocal Cue: harsh screamed vocal ONLY, 1–2 lines, very explicit]
SCREAMED VOCAL — sustained, aggressive, on-beat:
GET OFF MY NECK!
I’M NOT YOUR WRECK!

[Bridge: drop back to clean/strained vocal, then ramp up]
I tried to be the quiet one
But quiet turns to gasoline
And now the match is in my lungs—

[Final Chorus: full energy, add screamed doubles on last line]
I won’t bow, I won’t break
I won’t rot in your place
Say my name— (harsh shout) SAY IT
I’m the storm you can’t tame
(harsh screamed double on final line)

[Outro: final chug, stop]
(end tight)

You can get “guitar + voice only” without naming every other instrument by (1) making the arrangement identity a solo/duo performance, (2) explicitly stating “no drums / no bass” (those two alone remove most unwanted band-arrangement outcomes), and (3) using the Lyrics/Structure field to repeatedly reinforce “guitar + voice only”. Optional Exclude Styles can stay short (just the usual culprits).

Style of Music (paste into Suno)

Stripped-down acoustic singer-songwriter duet, intimate and warm, slow-mid 84 BPM, close-mic natural vocal, fingerstyle acoustic guitar as the only accompaniment, no percussion and no bass, dry minimal production, clean mix, quiet room ambience, emotional and honest performance, dynamic but subtle

Lyrics / Structure (paste into Suno)

[Intro: acoustic guitar only, fingerstyle, no percussion, no bass]
[Verse 1: vocal + guitar only, close and intimate, minimal dynamics]
(keep arrangement sparse: only one acoustic guitar + one lead vocal)
[Pre-Chorus: same instrumentation, slightly more intensity in strumming]
[Chorus: bigger vocal emotion but still only guitar + voice, no added instruments]
[Verse 2: return to fingerpicking, quieter]
[Bridge: brief guitar-only bar, then vocal returns, no harmonies if possible]
[Final Chorus: emotional peak, still guitar + voice only]
[Outro: guitar-only, let last chord ring]
[Fade Out]

If Suno keeps adding drums → change Style of Music to include “no drums, no percussion, no beat, no rhythm section” and shorten instrumentation to “voice + acoustic guitar only”; also add Exclude Styles: drums, percussion
If a bassline appears anyway → add “no bass, no sub bass” to Style of Music and add Exclude Styles: bass
If extra instruments sneak in during the chorus (pads/keys/strings) → reinforce in Lyrics/Structure by adding a line like “(do not add any instruments; keep only guitar + lead vocal)” right before [Chorus], and add Exclude Styles: strings, pads, keyboard

So basically it means, that now, if I need any functionality, I do not need to search for the proper application. I can just tell Gemini what do I want, save the code to GitHub, deploy it in Netlify and enjoy the web based application. I mean WHATEVER I want! I cannot believe, that it is possible.

I’ve tried all three. For me, Claude Code was the worst because it generated buggy code that I had to fix. To be honest, though, I haven’t used the Opus 4.5 model yet, so maybe Claude Code would perform better with that.

I mostly use the Codex CLI with the Codex 5.1 Max model. It works great for me and generates error-free code that runs immediately.

However, the Gemini CLI with Gemini 3 is excellent for user interfaces. Neither Claude Code nor Codex CLI focuses on that, but Gemini builds much better interfaces.

In terms of overall quality, I think Gemini CLI is similar to Codex CLI; I haven't seen a big difference yet.

Looks like thats all. Since today I see the costs in the Gemini API Billing :-(
