"Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart"
Song

"Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" is a song by American rock musician Chris Cornell. It was released as the lead single from his fourth studio album Higher Truth (2015). The song hit the top 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and is also his first entry on that chart since 2007's "No Such Thing", as well as his first entry on the Alternative Songs chart since 1999's "Can't Change Me" and his first song to enter the Adult Alternative Songs chart.

Music video

The music video was released on September 11 2015.[2] Cornell and Eric Roberts play prisoners about to be hanged; as a sexy onlooker (Elena Satine) distracts the hangman, Cornell's noose is sabotaged by the executioner's assistant so he survives his hanging, and is forced into marriage with the woman who sabotaged his hanging. The video ends with the other prisoner about to be hanged and the onlooker about to play her part again.
