Carole King，美國才女歌手，1970年初展露頭角，能寫、能唱，也擅長鋼琴演奏。
才華洋溢的她，縱橫美國音樂界數十載，至今仍活躍在舞台上。
沙啞的嗓音，是她的招牌特色。雖然很難稱之「優美動聽」，卻別有一股蒼涼的韻味，讓她能持續受到廣大樂迷的喜愛，地位屹立不搖。她的作品，質、量均優，為許多歌手選用，包括 The Beatles（披頭四）、Aretha Franklin、Rita Coolidge、Linda Ronstadt、James Taylor 等紅星，不勝枚舉。以後有機會慢慢介紹。
「So Far Away」，表達對離人深深的思念，感人至深。 在她所有的歌中，最讓我低迴不已......
獻給曾經帶給我們無限喜悅的小狗兒：我的寶貝「小胖」，和Sunny心愛的「斑斑」。
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 that 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
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
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
Yeah, 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 are so many dreams I have yet to find
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
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
You're so far away
Yeah, you're so far away
You're so far away
