Has to be the best outro I have heard; more than half of a 7 minute song.
If you're of the "rap is stupid" set:
1. Watch the music video (easy to find).
2. Pause for a minute to think about what you saw.
3. Read an explanation about it (here's a pretty good one: Clicky).
4. Watch the video again.
If you're REALLY of the 'rap is stupid" set, skip steps 1 and 2.
Just dropped, first new music in 5 years. Very slow and mellow, not what I was expecting.

If I've heard a more heartbreaking song recently, I can't recall it. Wistful on first listen, but if you know the backstory it's downright depressing. And beautiful.

I could (and do) listen to Get Rhythm regularly. I've listened to his new disc twice now and it's a bit of a yawner. Some of it reminded me of recent albums by Mark Knopfler. He sounds like he's about to nod off.
Mrs. S and I were talking about Knopfler the other day and she said he's become the classic rock version of Perry Como... or the Eugene Levy version of Perry Como:

First time I heard this, I just figured it was about a woman leaving a man. Turns out the inspiration for the song was that Hiatt's first wife committed suicide shortly after the birth of his daughter. Brings a whole new level of sadness to the song. Listen to it again, and the lyrics become more haunting.

Patrick Doyle - Henry V Soundtrack.
I am by no means a religious or spiritual person; however, I am amazed by some of the music that Dylan was putting out during his "Christian phase." I attended a few concerts during those years. I did not like the Christian message, but loved the energy. His mid- to late-1981 concerts were an interesting mix of Christian stuff and his earlier "secular" songs. This is to say that I am finally getting up the nerve to listen to the Sony/Columbia "Bootleg Series Vol. 13" of Dylan releases. I have to say that it is fascinating. This is brilliant. Penn Jillette (the magician, comedian, etc.) wrote very moving notes for this release. I don't agree with all his points, but they are interesting, heartfelt, and personal. I heartily recommend either the 2-CD version or, if you are a Dylan enthusiast, the Deluxe version (8 CDs plus a DVD). Again, I am not a religious person, but this is powerful musical art.
