Chorus:
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away

My wife and I were going through a difficult time. I was going to leave her. We told our kids and they were upset. Next day I got home after work and she played this song. I realized then how much I loved her and how much she loved me. That was 24 years ago. We've now been married for 44 years. This song saved my life.
That’s a wonderful story man. I’m happy for you and your wife.
God bless you and your wife Brian.
Beautiful
So beautiful your story.
😥
Remarkable song and let me remind you I am a 73 year old black man and here's something most don't know she wrote Aretha Franklin "natural woman ❤
Aretha Franklin does a cover of natural woman, the song was in king's very first album tapestry.
Great singer I am a black woman age 74. We once enjoyed music together black/ white people we were a united front!
Music is a gift from above. It can unite us, inspire us and even heal us.
Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand. With a equal opportunity for all to sing, dance and clap their hands. PEACE ✌🏾
I sure do miss those days! Now someone like Jimmy Hendrix would be called an Uncle Tom from one side and a wanna be white boy by the other side. It’s pathetic! I miss the days when we all listened to a lot of the same music and talked about the same things. Life was so much simpler then. And … peaceful!
I'm white and love music no what color skin the musicians have. No matter what color our skin is, if we're american we're american.
I am a white woman age 69. I agree. Where I grew up there was a dance hall that had bands every Friday and Saturday night where we all went to hear music and especially dance. We were a mixed breed of young people just wanting to go out and have fun. Blacks and whites together. I blame politics for the division in our country today. They are trying to divide us and they are succeeding. At this rate America doesn't stand a chance.
My wife recently passed from Pancreatic cancer, this was her favorite song and we played it at her funeral mass. She was actually friends with Carole King, they would do Zoom calls together. A couple of years ago Carole reached out to my wife on Zoom for her birthday and sang her Happy Birthday. It was during that call that my wife told Carole this was her favorite song. Carole replied that she wrote this while she was on the road missing her kids. To end my eulogy, I told the congergation that each time they prayed for my wife, they would see her face at their door.🙏
My dad passed of the big C. I cared for Jim, commuting every weekend but he didn't want to hear any of the music he had loved. He wanted a "smooth transition ". I wore earbuds listening to all his favorites, remembering fhe hood times so I could do what needed to be done. I know your pain. I can say I don't believe, I KNOW we will see each other again. God bless you, and thank you for sharing.
Favourite song 🎵
@@highstrangeness1824 I couldn't agree more. My wife gerw up in the projects of the South Bronx and worked hard to make a good life for herself. Her two missions in life was providing a future for special needs chiledren (we have two) and caring for abused pets. I also siad in my eulogy that cancer may have taken her physical presence but could never kill her spirit. We had a wonderful 40 years together, I was fortunate she chose me for her husband.
So very, very sorry for the loss of your Beloved…
So glad to hear that you and your wife were able to dig deeper and find your love again-and to make it last for so long, no less!! And what a blessing for your children…Congratulations on making your marriage thrive….
1971, married at 16, and him 17. Lived in a travel trailer near Fort Brag. Dancing in that little home for two. Laughing and playing constantly..... but that's what teenagers do, right? This song takes me back that place where we laughed and loved.
We had three beautiful children and seven grandchildren. We divorced and cancer took my first love in 2000.
But I like going back to that place in time when we only knew of laughter and love. So Far Away.
Barbara Ellis Buena suerte
My god I feel for you x
That's beautiful Barbara. bless you
Great story, I could picture everything you were saying. Thanks for sharing.....you'll meet and dance again in paradise. :)
Your beautiful words made me cry. I know , how good were the good ol days and all the wonderful ol music. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Thank you, James Taylor, for talking Carole King into recording her own music. “You need to stop making other people famous,” he said.
To : Darrin Baker ------ Yes ! That's true.( One of many things we have to thank him for .)
Amen 🙏❤
Carol really was a much better writer than singer
The world would be a sad place without her music it spreads love and fond memories of my sister RIP SALLY ANNE LOVE YOU MISS YOU
Choone A..💞💞💞
Im 54 and this makes me think of all who have passed on and moved away.. great times! Wish we all could do it again❤
Miss my Son he passed away from an accidental overdose give me strength God please Love you Josh forever 25
Love this song reminds me of him
God Bliss 🛐✝️
My brother died of an accidental overdose we use to sing b101 Delilah every night
❤bless u and your precious son
❤
Lost my mom this year unexpectedly to a heart condition. This song brings me down to my knees. Carole king was her absolute favorite. She was only 56, & im only 23 with the weight if the world on my shoulders. Miss you mom 💔
I am so sorry for your loss. She is still with you. Just take it day by day. You are not alone...find someone who you can talk with for support.
Punk Disorderly ♡
I know how you feel, I too lost my mom, I was 25. Take day by day.
Punk Disorderly , mucha fortaleza !! Paz para todos.
I know the difficulty, shock, and emptiness you feel. My mother died at only 43, I was only 17, my sister 11 and brother 5. That was 49 years ago, and life has been good for all of us. Take courage!
This song remembers me of my childhood, today I'm 51.
Be grateful in life, time goes faster than you think.
Amen... Happy birthday 🎉
Time is fleeting x
Father time waits for nobody. My 50 years have been a flash in a pan.
yes it does go fast.
Me too wow how it flew by
This song always brings the tears... not sure who or what I'm crying for. But it touches me. Thank you Carole...
Me too….
Same here.
Same here😢😢
That's Loving feelings...🫂🫂❤️🙂
Probably for anyone who we’ve ever loved and haven’t seen for a long time or won’t ever see again.
Everyone should hear this song once in lifetime.
Tears in my eyes right now
And a second time fifty years later.. . .
Everyone should hear this song once … A week or maybe more often
twice
No lie!
I'm only 25, I know nothing about the 70's but reading some of y'all stories with this song as a backdrop warms my soul in weird way. Thank y'all for sharing.
ImThat KID we are the counter culture of the seventeens and Carole made us think about life. Real life..
It was my parents' decade. They were a different class of people back then. Music could steal the warmth of the sun or the crispness of winter winds. People believed in themselves back then. All I can do in today's bizarre world is pay that forward.
The 70's was just before music companies got more conservative and commercial with popular music. It was a time of truly being more open to different types of music with less rules. I think it warms the soul because the spirit of those songs still remains. Blessings to you.
@@alifmuhammadchicago Great comment. I lived through the entire 60s and 70s, music was magical back then.
@@alifmuhammadchicago beautiful!! I am 61 and this was my music 🎶 in the 70s when life was so beautiful
One of the finest albums ever recorded. Music was real back then.
It's still real now, you just need to know where to look :)
@@zynerd exactly but you know how nostalgia is
Compare this song with Cardi B's new "song". OMG😱😱😱
@ddk222 She was and is always real. Pure talent now and forever.
@@raybarry4307 carol might be bumping W.A.P. all summer..who knows?? Lol
What has happened to the Music Industry? Where have all the great songwriters gone? This ballad is a masterpiece.
Replaced by Rappers
@@captainsouth4460 precisely why we listen to our music when we had so many great singer / songwriters we could choose from. Carole was one of the greats !
Not to take away from the phenomenal song writing ability of Carole King, but there are plenty of great songwriters out there. Stay away from commercial radio and start searching - you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
I cry.
@@captainsouth4460 Yes. I'd listen to Roberta Flack. But where is she? And Shirley Bassey and a whole lot of black singers but where did they go? And "Lulu" who sang "white-black" in those days. Before "hip hop" stomped on pop music.
This song makes me cry! I sang it at my Mom's funeral service. I think it is SOOOO beautiful that I don't even care about my tears and it will be one of my top 10 list of all time and always will.
😢
This was one of my Mothers Favorite songs. She had her Tapestry Record Album. My Mom passed 04-21-15 :(... This song really Hits hard for me.
After many years I still have my Tapestry album, no scratches and sounds great. My favorite song is Tapestry. ❤😊
Dedicating this song to my buddy Grant. He died Dec 14,2023. He was a great friend and a good coworker. Miss you buddy 🖤🧩
Sorry for the loss of Your Friend.
I can make you forget him. Just spend one night with me Peyton, you beautiful thing.
😢
So sorry.
My condolences
R.I.P. mom i miss you everyday and love you even though your so far away
Lost my boyfriend about 9 months ago to his long illness. I listen to this song every now and then wondering how my life would have been of he was still here. Thanks for making such a beautiful song Carole.
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 I'm sorry for your loss.
My condolences 💐.. I lost mine 2005.. Certain songs still hit me hard.. grieve how you need too❤
@@IG_Toasty100 So very sorry for your loss 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@koevan1323 Awwww Thank Koe..💯❤️❤️
@@IG_Toasty100 You're so welcome ☺️💕💕
Listening to this tonight, in memory of my friend who died this week. Lois had my heart from the day I met her.
Our friendship faded because of logistics and health issues but we loved each other to the moon and back. Rest in Peace. Her funeral mass is tomorrow 7/18/2022 I am so far away and hopefully you are free from pain in heaven. Amen 🙏🏼
I am so so sorry for your loss!
Sorry about your friend 🙏🏻 Sip Ms Lois 🤍🕊🙏🏻❤️
When you move away you do not realize the prolonged impact of your decision.
I feel this more than I could ever explain
🥺
I'm a Mexican boy, currently living in the U.S. I fell for a Ukrainian giri, currently living in The U.K. This is our song. It gets us through. I'm saving up so I can surprise her by going to see her. Thank You, Carole.
Dang man that’s heart moving! Hope everything works out give me a update on this sometime
Good luck, many Blessings to you both, and safe passage my friend!
応援してるよ🙆
頑張って‼️
同じ思いだね🙋
君と同じくらい俺もキャロル好きなんだ！
Probably didn't turn out. But emotions are what make us human. This song is me deciding witch kids of mine to be a part of their life. I would like to hope you ended up marring her...
I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer. This song makes me think of her. I listen to it when I need a good cry. My thoughts and prayers are with anyone else who has lost someone they loved.
Sorry for your loss
I also lost my Mama to that horrible diease . To watch her fade away .... heartbreaking. But I know she's at peace free from the constant pain
Chabat Chalom my dear all the love
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
sweet tribute to your mom....
This album is so human and yet so angel-like. So rare.
Truth ❤️
Grande verità
It doesn’t get much prettier than this. Timeless gem!
I'm 9K miles "far and away" from my first love and we've been married for 35 years. She's a volunteer OB/Gyn Doctor at an African Hospital and I'm here in COVID covered America trying to raise funds so she can continue to save women and children lives. So this song touches my heart and soul today. Missing you babe, will be home in 10 days "but you're so far away"
Hope you two have a happy reunion when she gets home, and hug and hold her tight and play this song and dance and laugh together thru the night
Dude have some respect for yourself, that’s all I’ll say
My respect for you and your family
Beautiful!! My husband and I have been married since 1981 still!! God bless your work to help people all over the 🌎world
God bless you and your extraordinary wife. 🙏🏽 Beautiful people ❤
Every young woman should be given this album as a gift.
Dawn Sutton Every PERSON should be given this album
Jack, I agree, just for the pure beauty of it, the innocence we had. Sigh.....I want to go back......
why
Dawn Sutton Idk, I'd rather have a vr system tbh. Play this song in beat saber.
Dawn Sutton That album picture says it all
This is what I'm feeling right now, For my Mom 😞😫Rest in Peace Mom5-13-23 I ❤️ you and Miss you!!
It’s amazing how many excellent singer songwriters there were in the 70s.
Yes it is!!
The 70's get a bad rap but there was a lot of really really good music. If you don't know Chicago or Kansas check them out.
@@berrybarfield5056 no doubt about it (Batman as Tarzan/Whales in the Bible/Jonah: a Veggie tales Movie/Upland,Indiana).
Agreed. The 60s In particularly most go down in his as the greatest decade of music. IMO opinion is undeniable.
Do you really think that? There were also many in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s (including Carole King). The difference is that they learned to play classical music on an instrument. They did not simply write some lyrics and program a keyboard, and find a producer to clean up the mess, which is what they do now.
My momma's favorite... now that she's gone... wished I'd paid closer attention. I get it now, momma, I get it.
Amy, your mom had good taste in music and im sorry for your lost. 🌹 🎶 🎹 🎸 ❤
Hi Amy...How are you today?
You are beautiful.
@@joerodriguez3421 Me too!!!
Sorry for your loss. ☹️
Lost my wife of 20 years six months ago. I have been keeping up appearances and all of it in...until I heard this song this morning.
Sorry for your loss. Its definitely a particular pain that certain songs can bring about. I was the same when I lost my Father. I could go on, smile when need be, and move through the motions - and then I'd hear anything from any rock band I grew up on (such as Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Old Genesis, Old Journey, well...basically anything and everything from the 60s on!) - and it was like taking a bullet. I could actually be at a store or at a gathering and for a minute or two forget and then BAM! A song would play and I was instantly brought back to my pain and knowing I could never again see him enjoying the music with me. For close to a year I couldn't listen to much at all. I drove without the radio even on in my car because I didn't want to take the chance of hearing something I didn't want to hear. That was 18 years ago now and it has gotten less painful, but it's still there. I jam Zeppelin now and still feel pain for what I won't have with him again, but I do atleast now smile - knowing I was lucky to have had him at all and have those memories. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss and the pain it brings. There's no quick fix when everything gets broken, my friend, but maybe try talking to people who knew your wife well: mutual friends, other family members, her work colleagues, etc, rather than keeping everything inside. If this isn't possible, seek out a bereavement counsellor near you and sign up for some sessions. This can often be a great help when the feelings of loss are so raw. You don't say if you had children together - if you did, recognise that your wife lives on in them, and you will continue to see and hear her in the way they tilt their heads or sneeze or laugh or sing or carry out a particular task. If you don't have children, it might be worth getting involved in something that relates in some way to your wife's death: if she died due to a particular disease/illness, try raising funds for a relevant charity that increases public awareness/funds research into treatments, cures, etc. If her death was due to an accident, get involved in a campaign that seeks to promote awareness. If one doesn't exist, start one. Find others who've experienced similar losses and draw strength from them. At the time I'm writing this it will be a year or so since you lost your wife, and you could use your experience to help others who've had a more recent loss.
Most of all, focus on the 20 years that you and your wife had together rather than dwelling on her absence in the present, and value the things you did together.
The poet, Philip Larkin, once wrote a poem ('An Arundel Tomb', if you want to look it up) that ends with the line 'What will survive of us is love.' As I've aged and lost people close to me, I've come to realise the truth of that: you are shaped by the love of those who loved you, and your love for others shapes them. Your wife's love for you has helped shape you as a human being, so in a profound sense, she survives in you, too. Without her love you would not be who you are, so in a sense you and she are still one. I hope that a year on you're beginning to see some chinks of light in your darkness. If not, don't worry - they will come eventually. All good wishes.
I know..those feelings come rushing in, especially listening to sweet songs like this one..God Bless you & your wife's spirit
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sending you a hug! So sorry for your loss.
My mom says this is her song to me. Living apart is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I love you momma. Always and Forever. 🖤😢
My Late Mother loved Carole some much,
We walked her coffin ⚰️ from the church to ‘I feel the earth move’ and then watched the curtain close on her coffin to her classic ‘Way over yonder’.. my mothers song 🎵 wish had come true.. love you Ma, hearts still broken in Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪, you are my Rock xxxxxx
As a black girl from the south Miss King was everything to me I never heard a woman voice so beautiful as Miss King , ❤️👏👏👏❤️
Awesome. Music doesn't care what color you are.
This Black girl from Louisville, Kentucky (me) loved every song that she sung. I'd go back to the dorm, throw on Carol King, and work on my assignments! Her voice is AMAZING!
White guy and she was good. She was no Mavis Staples, Etta Jones, or Dianna Ross though.
They said she couldn't sing but the voice so owns her music
She played at my school when I was ten in 1972.It was unusual in that it was a white supremacist school and the headmaster announced her as a personal friend. No way could that be true.We had a lot of Nashville's talent and business tycoon's children going there.I think that is why she played there.
My mom was my best friend in the world. Losing her left the biggest void in me. This song is everything I feel right now. I wish she was around
I know how you feel
She is near and watching
GOD BLESS HER 🙏
She definitely owns this song. No singers - past or present - could belt that song like she can.
Reba actually did real good
@@bernadettemartinez82Reba is actually the reason I looked for this song.
ITS BECAUSE SHE WROTE THIS SONG.
CAROL KING IS ONE OF A KIND. ALSO REMEMBER THAT SHE WROTE THE SONG, YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN. FOR QUEEN ARETHA FRANKLIN
Reba did a phenomenal job of remaking this song! I love both versions however Reba Sang it with her soul!!! ❤❤❤❤
My black friends used to make fun of me in high school because I loved artist like Carol King Barry Manilow Carpenters etc. I grew up in a military household where we were taught to listen to all genres of music. I'm gonna see you one day Carol in concert I will be the loud beautiful brown woman screaming "Go head girl"
I will be right there with you 😊
That's funny that your black friends would make fun of you for liking Carole King because she wrote so many hits for black artists (like the Drifters, the Chiffons and Aretha!)
I was in this same boat. I married a wonderful black woman. I was blessed with 4 wonderful children..Richard
She was my first ever concert in Pittsburgh PA when I was 16, In 1974. Still love her music 💗
Music is the universal language with no boundaries... love what you love...I come from a military family and we listened to everything 💯🙌🏾
1974 , in high school, had to give a speech in English class on a person we admired. I was terrified of public speaking. I did it on Carole King and Gerry Goffin and the amazing music they had created. Then I played this song. I got an A.
That's funny, in 1969 English class, i gave an oral report on how to roll a joint, with a tobacco roller, i to got an A, take care
My sister-in-law died last week from cancer. She was sixty-seven. Her youngest child sang the first lines of this song at her funeral. My wife and I watched it streamed from Nevada since our health prevents us from traveling. I cried as he sang. I felt the trembles of his grief. I heard the strength of his love for her, staggering with the reality that she is now physically so far away.
I have a daughter traveling in and out of drug use and other heartbreaking decisions. This song is how I feel about her right now. Carole, after all these years, your music and prose still calm my heart and help me get by. Thank you.
Hi Karen hope you’re okay?
I haven't spoken to my daughter for 3 years, b/c of the same problem. Holidays are hard with a family member missing in action. This song makes my heart hurt worse. I pray that you have a blessed season and find your daughter soon!
I think sometimes, two people are listening to this song, each thinking about the other.
I 🙏 THAT IT TURNS AROUND AND YOU GET YOUR BABY BACK I FEEL FOR YOU.😢
I lost my son 7 years ago. Don’t waste a day
Yo, I'm from the hood. I'm really emotional right now. I'm going through what divorce and y'all just helping me out so much. I know no music. I connect you like this. This is something I would never listen to in my life. I'm missing on UA-cam and I heard it and I love it. I connect with it. Thank you
Ya, music takes you to places you never dreamed of, pure bliss. No future, no past. Emotion, vision, sound.,…
Hang in there bro!
That was Amy Winehouse’s favorite song... Rest in peace Amy🖤
Good choice and good taste !!
So the irreplaceable Amy and I like the same music. Excellent.
Ughh love Amy Winehouse ❤❤❤ they played this song in her funeral
This takes me right back - 74 now, but still remember every word of every song on this Album. Love it like it was yesterday.
You too? It was transcendant, huh? I am now standing in my mom's kitchen, looking out at the ranch, the heat. Thinking someday i'll be wishing i was here now. And so i am.
I’m 70 and will always have her music in my heart 💜
I just made it to 75 this year. Her song always pull me back about 57 years to the time I got back from VN. Love her music, in fact she is having a special on PBS right now.
I have lost some amazing people. My mom, my grandparents, my dad, my second mom and a close friend.
This song reminds of the wonderful life we had when we were younger.
The music, the lyrics, they touch your heart.
I heard this song for the first time with my brother in Hawaii at july 1975, when we were took in the family of the persons who, later, adopted my brother legally. Every night we were listening to this song with tears, thinking of our parents and siblings we left behind in Viêt Nam while we were running out of the country as boat people at the communists’s invasion a couple of months before . The pain of losing our family, our friends, our country was so great that we could hardly hold back our tears while hearing this song. Since then, we've well integrated -me in France and my brother in the United States-and our family succeeded thank God, to leave Vietnam and come and live in France, but every time I listen to this song, my heart tightens thinking of that painful time. It's such a so beautiful, meaningful song and Carol King’s voice seems go through listener’s soul and heart. Thank you, Carol 🙏❤️.
Beautiful, timeless music.
Who's still listening 2020 so beautiful. Still beautiful 😍 2021 still listening ❤ 2022 love it.
Can still go back to hearing this out the girls dorm window at nite at Morehead
State U. So far away now but still feels like last night.
Me
I still do. Love this music era!
It's hitting me after i just lost my last sister
2020 and always
This song brings me to a place that I was. It was around 1979, in Morristown N.J.. The smell of winter was in the air. I remember where I stood and how I felt. Music is amazing to be able to transport you to somewhere in the past.
I almost feel like I was there too!
I love that sentiment. Music is such an important vehicle for nostalgia for a lot of us!
just beautiful
Society Hill talk about memories. Back when Jersey and NYC were great.
My mom wore this album out! Feel good music from a feel good. Era!
How could anyone not like this song, it's absolutely beautiful.
This is one of the most painful, saddest and honest songs ever. You just feel every ounce of pain going into this song. One of the realest pieces of music ever made
Thank you dad for introducing me to all these great songs
I guess we as a generation were lucky to hear this instead of hip hop a rap music as kids! Real artists not the pretenders who steal music! I say that having given every song porn) filth lyrics!
Listening to this song during quarentine in 2020 makes me less sad. Honest!
Me too bro,don't get .much better
I'm drinking wine in the tub and singing along right now LOL
Me too. But we get to the other side.
This is a perfect song right now during quarantine. Missing my baby.
Carole King actually did a revised version of this song a few days ago, in recognition of the quarantine!
In my bedroom while a teenage played this album so much I wore it out and had to buy another copy. It spoke to me.
One of the best albums of all time.
Yeah I graduated high school in"71"....every one in my graduating class,was listening to this album....still love it
I truly love this old song. At times, I wish more music was still like this today.
This song popped into my head this morning, and I instantly started crying.
The lyrics that really get me emotional are:
Long ago I reached for you
And there you stood
Holding you again
Could only do me good
How I wish I could
But you're so far away.
I lost my mom to dementia back in January, and these lyrics make me think of her.
Once you lose such an important person in your life, your life is never the same ever again. The heartache, missing the person and sadness never ever truly go away. You just kind of have to try to go on in your life without them, but it is never easy.
RIP, mom! I will never stop loving or missing you.
🙏🏽🛐✝️😔🇺🇸
Makes me cry, gut cry, EVERY single time... That's Carol King for you.
Meg Witte me too
Me also but it's a reflection on life cry. The time flew so fast that i'm in shock!!!!!!!!
Me, too. Several years ago her & her daughter sang this in a Gap commercial. First time I've ever teared up over a Gap commercial!
Me too, I have been gone way to long.
Always loved this, but it became truly poignant after my mother died.
One of the last songs I got to share in the last minutes with my mother last month. Miss you.
🛐✝️🙏🏽🇺🇸😔
This album does not quit it will forever be 💯
What happened to the innocence of music that expressed pure and genuine emotion? Timeless piece!

Songs just aren't written the same as where in the last century.
Imagine a time when you hear a new song on the radio, it's first play on air.
When you heard that song and listened
it would touch some part of you that brought upon a pleasant feeling.
Sadly, those days are gone.
Today's music is directed in a completely different manner all together.
It was the 70's Some of best music was born in that era...very special time to be alive.
The older you get, the more you romanticise and idealise the past. There's so much great music being made today, perhaps as much as ever before, because there are far more mediums. People forget, a lot of junk was also released in the past, especially the 70s.
@@merlinmediagroup Thats true I thought otherwise, but there is some good music being put out there today...creativity didn't end in 70's
This is pure music one of of thing...there never be music as this .
This song every time i hear it reminds me when i was 15 years old in 1971 me and my brother shared a room in our parents house in NYC we had a turn table with pioneer speakers and a room made like the planetarium with a fluorescent light to make the colorful dots on the wall glow in the dark like little stars and Peter Max posters on the wall we had the Tapestry Album with Carole and her cat Telemachus on the cover , the album just had came out and the first song i heard on the album was Its Too Late Baby then i heard So Far Away and felt in love with the song at 15 years old, life was so beautiful back in those days of the early 70's listening to WABC with DJ Ron Lundy and Dan Ingram boy those was the days, thank you Carole King for the memories.
randy brooks i pictured that. So beautiful
randy brooks
That s really i pense (il french oups !)
Yes Tamanna sweet memories

Fredflix, he is awesome, enjoy

Love to you all ..this song soothes the brocken hearted ..love from South Australia 🎉
This song always touched my Heart. It made me cry so very hard It made me realize that Life is Beautiful and sad 😢when my first ever boyfriend drowned. I played this Carol King song everyday back then. R I P
Sending love and blessing to everyone that has someone "Too far away" . Reach up with your out stretched hand and grab a blessing if you are in need of one at this moment in time. Love to all.

Thank you so much. 🙏🏾
Right back at you. 💯
Omg the comments I’m absolutely crying. 53 year old man and a metalhead and this song. This song 😢
loved this song for 50 years,beat that.......
My grandpa passed away recently. I visited his grave this morning with my family. I’m sleeping next to my grandma and I can’t hold my tears, because I don’t live here anymore, in this city. I only got 2 weeks left being here then I have to go back. I don’t know this was part of the deal of growing up and aging, learning to face changes in our lives. It’s very beautiful, but I can’t help to just cry and cry every night thinking of the past. And this song came to mind. I just have to play it over and over again.
Love this album. Still gives me goose pimples. Takes me back to my teenage years. Met my now husband at 14 years old. We laughed all the time. Married when we were ready years later. Two lads and many years and still loving, laughing and playing tapestry. What more can you want.
Hi Karen...How are you today?
Hi Karen hope you’re okay?
I love this song.I am 52years old now. I remember hearing it on the radio as a kid.I feel far away from this world today.I don't recognize this world today.
I miss those days of yesterday.
Delilah use to play this a lot.
I feel ya!!! 😘
@@miket7071yup she's awesome i'm from Massachusetts i heard this song from delilah and dance with my father again dear god she helped me grieve i was born in 92 this music aint forgotten some
of us still have it in our hearts my parents loved old school and it reflects and lives on
In 1970,my friends and I played this album everyday as we gathered at our cottages. Oh the sweet memories!
Amy Winehouse would have turned 37 years old, they played this song at the end of her funeral. Rest easy Amy
I didn't know that. Thank you. I adore Amy.
Love u AZ😘😘😘😘
It is said she was so generous and people used to mooch off her. Yet some horrible people had expressed some anti-semitic comments about her. Why are people so unkind and bigoted! Shame. RIP Amy, you were a beautiful gem and sadly missed!
Like how they played In My Life by The Beatles in Kurt Cobain's funeral.
@@zackzallie8735 I loved his music...sad that he died!
Back in 1971 I was in the 7th grade when I came across this album, it was my favorite way back then and now at 58 I still love this album and Carole King.
Lovely!
A friend had this and played it when I spent the night with her in 1973. I went out and bought it and it was the first album I bought with my own money. lol. I still have it.
Cheryel Porter wow bro this is my favorite album too I remember I use too here this album in the 7th grade on my CD player in the year 2002 I was 14 teen years old and now its2017 and I'm 29 years old and I still love this album thanks too my momma and good taste of 70s music
7th. GOOD GOD I'M TO OLD I WAS IN VIETNAM THEN
7th. GRADE MY GOD
I MUST BE OLD I WAS FAR AWAY IN VIETNAM THEN
It was either '71 or '72, my mom had died in '69 and I had gotten close with my older brothers' in laws who were my age group, my brother's sister-in-law played this, along with War's "Slippin into darkness" and Rod Stewart's "Maggie Mae" those 3 albums allowed me the ability to decipher good music from great music even though I really didnt understand it at that time. Music sometimes becomes a "balm in Gilead", healing for the soul, an effervesent fizz of desired diruretic to cleanse the human mind, soul, heart of all that unnatural hatred of all others, and bathe in the sundry warmth of love.
[Chorus]
So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could
But you're so far away
[Verse 1]
One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
[Chorus]
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Yeah, you're so far away
[Verse 2]
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
[Chorus]
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
Yeah, you're so far away
Hey, you're so far away
I remember laying on the couch,my Mom put on the album tapestry by Carol King and started changing the living room around while we listened to it. That was the best memory of my Mom one of them. My Mom was an awesome Mom,daughter,worker & friend! Best and strongest woman I've ever known or I have ever met. Thanks Miss King for all those great songs,that my Mom liked so much. My Mom went to be with the Lord in 2013 and I miss her so much. I love you Mom!!!😘😜😝👩👆💜💜💜💜💜
so sorry mili....I know....my dad, my brother at age 22 and the love of my life WHO I sent this too
Thank you!
❤
That’s awesome! I was in 5th grade and remember my beautiful mother “Adeline” bought this album on 8 track...she’d play it what seemed like every day while cleaning, cooking or rearranging the living room. What a coincidence to your experience.
Unfortunately, two years later I lost my beautiful mother tragically. My brother was 12 and I just 13 years of age. Our hearts were shattered and have been broken since. But I every time I hear any songs from Carole King’s Great album “Tapestry” it brings back fond memories of my beautiful mother singing to us and taking me by the hand to the middle of our living room and dance with her...she’d dance with my brother as well. I thank God every day for the beautiful time we were blessed to share those amazing special moments with her before her life was cut short at the young age of 32 yrs of age.
YOU ARE ALWAYS DEEPLY MISSED MOM 😪😪😪 I LOVE YOU and PRAY THAT WE MEET UP ONCE AGAIN TO DANCE AND EMBRACE ONE ANOTHER PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF. 🙏🏼 ♥️🙏🏼

Damn 70's music always makes me feel so nostalgic. How is it that music can put you in a certain time and place, a time of carefree days and nights? If I could go back in time I would go back to that decade, it was a good life then and the best music on the radio.
And we would be young again!
It sure was ndrus.
Agreed
My pet cat has been missing for ten days. Hope someday she'll show up at my door...it would be so fine to see her once again.
Did she ever return?
@@california236 She turned up just once and she never came back again.
@@MaresaEngo aw I'm sorry
That's happened to me before. Snooper came home. My dad accidentally locked the barn and didn't know she was in there. Can't remember how long she was in there. Hopefully she'll come back.🙏
@@california236 Hope she's in a better place.
Her music was so great. It was all meant to make someone feel good.
One of the greatest songs & albums ever.
Family Guy brought me here. The way Lois and Peter saw their kids after returning from a long resentful drive back home was tear-jerking.
Haha. Me too. I wasn't expecting to have a life changing moment while watching Family Guy.
it brought me too, what a lovely song
I do not remember hearing that song.
First time I heard it was on Family Guy thanks Seth
Thats That's I'm here as well...family guy does have away with certain songs and the feel for it
Just lost my girl of 13 going on 14 years s.i.p. shauna ...we were to be married this year and I remembered song just not who sings it... i finally found out and it brings heartfelt needed ♥️ 💕 ❤️ tears ....ohhh God im going to miss her sooo much ....thank you Ms king for sharing
I lost my man last year... this song gives me such a beautiful vision of what our lives could have been if he was still here
Hang in there ❤
Who's here still loving her in 2019?
What a beautiful woman with such a beautiful mind and gift x
Me! But still forgot my tissue!😂
me 😊👍✋
Me
I met Carole King when I was 16 Years old
The 70's music was special. Carole King added to it.
Missing my hubby Darryll that would play this a lot from UA-cam, as he passed away from covid-19, a few months ago... Wishing he was here with me, but he's so far away....
Hi Anne hope you’re okay?
@@rayostergard3386 Hi, trying to be, as strong as I can..
@@Oregon197 that’s good 😊 I’m glad hearing back from you, how is the weather over there now??
Thankyou for playing great music.
This is the real deal.
Carol King will be 81 in February 2023 and she still sings.
Would love to go see her sing at a concert.
This song means so much to me.... days gone by.... old friends... old loves.... thank you for bringing me back
I can see why this album has sold over 20 million copies worldwide!! IT'S A MASTERPIECE!
It may be the most perfect album of all time. While there are others I may enjoy more (The brothers at Fillmore East) this is so perfect. Each song is perfect, the order of the songs is perfect. It is just perfect. Simply amazing. And to think she wrote hundreds of other great songs. I loved watching President Obama giving her the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
I think of momma when I hear this song. I love you mom. Rest in peace.
I miss my mama so much. Wish I coulda been a better son made her proud but I failed. She loved me more than anything anyway.. your mama loves you and misses u too. Take care. We will see them again
I just love this song for so many reasons , carols voice is so beautiful, I can think of so many peoples faces that I’d like to see at my door ! ❤️
One of the most timeless songs ever written, calms the soul and saves the memories
My girlfriend lives across the country this song brings me too tears every time.
Your comment is sad and beautiful at the same time.
🥺
Aww man 🥺
Same...this song plays a loop in my brain somedays 😪 I just want him here! 😍
So sweet and real in 2022, real music NEVER DIES.
My best friend passed away from breast cancer in October. I hear this song and it brings me to tears and feelings of despair. I miss her soooo bad sometimes. Monica was so full of life, she fought the cancer so strongly right to the end.
One day cancer will be defeated with cures
Heaven is so far away. Rest in peace Ed💚
Hi Nancy hope you’re okay?
One of the nice things about having siblings born in the 50s. I get subjected to beautiful voices and songs like this one 😊
The feels I’m getting from listening to this song is overwhelming. I’m really taken aback by this. Gripping sorrow, remembering my childhood and how awesome it was. And now all these family members are deceased and I’ll never see them again. I miss them all so much. My parents, grandparents, Aunts and Uncles. I wasn’t prepared for this at all.
You will see them again!
Same…
❤
Back again...missing my mom. This was one of her favorites.
So far away

Yeah yeah so far away, yeh, you're so far away
Love this thanks for the lyrics to sing along
What beatilful lyrics I always sing the first lines!!! I need to learn the whole song now
Wegg My Egg ❤️
👏🤗🥰
Thanks for the lyrics
Her voice is classic
One of my favorite songs. Please don't listen to this if you are sad and missing someone. It will definitely bring on the tears .
I played this song while my dad was dying of cancer. We always listed to her music when I was a little girl. It’s very bittersweet
FOREVER BEAUTIFUL LADY
CAROLE KING.
YOU ARE SUPER STAR.
THEY DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE
no they do not
Nope
luckilly
They don't Imran.
Yes this was pure music just the emotions thoughts the singing and the musical instruments
