Carly did not write the lyrics & she recorded it before she married James.

Yes, this is the definitive answer for me. This performance is so intense!

Gotta love Mick Fleetwood jamming on the drums with a big smile on his face, having the time of his life, as Stevie and Lindsey stare each other down.

Wow. The end where she they turn to each other.


Stevie was super pissed because Lindsey had started dating a 28 year old woman. They had both been single and she thought they might get back together. She was 47 or 48. If you have been single over 40 you can imagine her anger.

Adele wrote "Someone Like You" about a past boyfriend who broke up with her and then got engaged to someone else shortly after.

Michael Buble's biggest songs are all about his (current and former) romantic partners:

'Home' is about his first (non-famous) fiancee, a woman named Debbie

'You're Everything' is about Emily Blunt.

'Just Haven't Met You Yet' and 'I'll Never Not Love You' are both about his wife.

He wrote that while he was waiting for her to get dressed for a party. She took a long time and thought he'd be mad but he presented her with the song.

Most of the relationships listed here were very ephemeral.
My favorite band of all time, Yo La Tengo, is a long-married couple.
