    Lyrics:
    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
    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

      Yes, music now isn't even music. At least, popular music isn't. There is still good music out there, but it's not the popular stuff. I've listened to rare bands, local bands, etc., stuff that isn't well-know, and there is still some wonderful and amazing music being made.
      But the popular 'music'. Blech. Not even music. Just supposedly good-looking people dressed up is silly sparkly costumes, lip synching to garbage. You don't have to be talented, or be able to sing, or anything - all you have to do is look good. And even that's questionable, since a huge part of is is plastic surgery.

      Taylor Swift...but not her singles, many of them are 😵‍💫 and are skips for me. Do a deep dive of any of her albums and there are so many hidden gems that sadly do not grace the ears of many listeners.
      Try Cowboy Like Me, Treacherous, Carolina, The Best Day, Seven, and a gazillion more. Once again, her singles are mostly skips except for a handful. Also, many of her songs are not about boyfriends or exes. 😅
      And oh, even Carole King only has awesome things to say about her. Taylor gave the speech when Carole was inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame.
      Another suggestion, John Mayer. Enjoy!

      Over and over and on and on and on while mom cleaned the house all day Saturday. The sun lit up the living room in upstate New York. And mom played tapestry on our long hi-fi stereo with radio and 8 track tape player and turntable

    I have such a huge ultra-crush on Carole King. The most authentic & talented songwriter/composer in the history of pop music. Her genius is in what's NOT there. Her ability to get deep inside of your heart with only voice & piano (with a bit of subtle guitar & bass background) is unparalleled. The EPITOME of the 'Natural Woman' she wrote about in one of her most enduring songs. 100% gorgeous. 💖

    Carole King was just so warm and charismatic. Like everyone’s lovely, supportive friend. No wonder she captivated so many people with Tapestry. Is that the most influential female singer/songwriter album ever?

      Most "original artists" don't WANT to "sound like" the greats-they find their own unique voices.
