Line 57 ⟶ 71:
** Much of the album ''For Emma, Forever Ago'' toys with this, reflecting on the different aspects of the narrator's relationship with 'Emma' (actually a composite of several of Justin Vernon's previous girlfriends) and eventually concluding that he's better off without her ("Skinny love has no nourishment; it can't grow"). This doesn't stop him for having a drunken breakdown over it in "Re: Stacks."
* Don Henley - "The Boys of Summer" (see page quote)
* [[Mariah Carey]] - "Don't Forget About Us"
Line 76 ⟶ 89:
* [[Adele]] - "Someone Like You", written because after tearing her ex-boyfriend to pieces (musically), Adele still considered him to be an important figure and broke down when thinking that he might just be happy without her.
