“So Far Away” is a song written by Carole King and appeared on her 1971 album ''Tapestry''. The recording features James Taylor on acoustic guitar. The lyrics express longing for a lover who is far away. But Allmusic critic Bill Janovitz notes that while the lyrics start by focusing on the physical distance between the lovers, the lyrics use that as a jumping off point to explore emotional distance between lovers as well. ''Rolling Stone Magazine'' stated King's "warm, earnest singing" on the song brought out the song's sadness.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-20120531/carole-king-tapestry-20120524 )〕 In addition to Taylor, and King on piano, instruments include Russ Kunkel on drums, Charles Larkey on bass guitar and Curtis Amy on flute.〔 ==Covers== *The Crusaders covered the song on their album '1' in 1972. *In 1995, Rod Stewart's cover of the song was included on the tribute album ''Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King''.
