A genuine question

The concept of the song cycle is really cool (forlorn young man wandering through a winter landscape) and I love the opening line. But I just find the songs themselves sort of boring. Am I alone?

It's definitely a later one, post-1980s. He ends a verse saying something like "I have to step out for a minute" and then there's a solo. The next verse begins, "Okay I'm back" (or something like it).

Just remember it being a funny detail but can't for the life of me remember where it's from

The point I was trying to make is that modern buildings mostly suck and we should just pretty much honour the old aesthetic traditions, the way we do with food and opera. There's nothing kitsch or fascistic about it. I want more ornament.
