• Track: Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart
• Artist: Chris Cornell
• Album: Higher Truth
• Year: 2015

Chris Cornell is best known for his ferocious vocals for 90s grunge juggernaut, Soundgarden, and his 2000s supergroup, Audioslave (with members of Rage Against the Machine). However, what many don’t know is the Cornell is an amazing vocalist (his version of Ave Maria is absolutely stunning) whose vocal range suits him to sing nearly anything. On Higher Truth, Cornell mines his more sensitive side. Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart tells the story of a man who struggles to recover from heartache, but never quite finds peace.

Been there.

Lyrics:

Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind,
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain

When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn’t very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again, again

Every little key unlocks the door,
Every little secret has a lie
Trying to take a picture of the sun
It won’t help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won’t miss
Not for anything

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again

Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head

Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again…
