Isn't 'Broken Heart' truly truly an incredible achievement...? It's a seven minute song consisting only of five chords repeated over and over -played just by strings - with the most simple of simple lyrics:

Though I have a broken heart
I'm too busy to be heart-broken,
There's a lot of things that need to be done,
But I have a broken heart.

Though I have a broken dream,
I'm too busy to be dreaming of you,
There's a lot of things that I gotta do,
But I have a broken dream.

And I'm wasted all the time,
I have to drink you right off of my mind,
I've been told that this will heal given time,
But I have a broken heart.

And I'm crying all the time,
I have to keep it covered up with a smile,
And I'll keep on moving on for a while,
But I have a broken heart.


It really should be awful, cringe-worthy nonsense, but it's not: it's actually one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. It's the pure, undiluted emotional sincerity and the sense of honesty - and shared honesty...
Yes, yes: it is good.
