Broken Heart

Allison said the soft vocal sounded characterless on standard studio microphones, so at Roundhouse Studios he cut a small hole in the base of a plastic cup from the office water fountain and pushed a condenser pencil microphone into it. Pierce sang into the cup, which shrank the room ambience to its own size.

A promotional UK CD of the instrumental appeared in July 1997. In early 1998 the band re-recorded it at Abbey Road with a string and horn section described as Ennio Morricone-styled, and that version is on the Abbey Road EP of 14 August 1998. Pitchfork's Grayson Haver Currin called it the album's ballad and most beautiful moment, adding that at nearly seven minutes it needs every one.
