if i were to give a marshall mcluhan type analysis i'd say something about how the modern situationship is embodied more by modern expressions of heartbreak (reverbed out 2 5 1 songs a la the marias and cigarettes after sex - 
Sienna and 
Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby ), the reverb a symptom of modern introspectiveness and the 2-5-1 progression a symptom of our craving for resolution to something comfortable

(there is even an indie heartbreak song titled after the trope of 251 indie heartbreak songs - 
(Another) 251)

on the other hand older music about heartbreak (this song) show comfort with a less linear and more cyclic view of time and relationships. modern situationships are about a fear of commitment and consequences, which comes from a linear view of time, while older generations were more likely to be serial monagamists, which is a consequence of a cyclic view of time. a 2-5-1 progression is built around resolving to the tonic, a blues progression privileges the tonic much less. a blues progression feels like a celebration of the cyclic nonlinear nature of life. it feels like a much healthier way to approach relationships than a 2-5-1 progression

sombr can try his hardest (and 
we never dated is a banger) but nothing captures the feeling of being horrendeously down bad like a waltzy blues does

the guitar playing on this song epitomizes the saying "you can't play the blues with a full stomach"

feels incredible hearing susan tedeschi sing over this
some truly face melting guitar playing from derek trucks here, particularly striking because its his mentor duane allman who plays slide guitar on the original track
