For the past 2 months, my 11 month old daughter makes me hold her and sing her this to sleep. Many many loved ones who are in the great beyond, wishing they could have met her.

Tapestry was is my all-time favorite. I was a child of the 60s and her singing is still as great as it was in the 60s.

[@nathanmattor401]

For me part of the beauty of Carole King is that she never pretended to be anyone but her simple beautiful self. The album cover speaks volumes. Just sitting there in the window, relaxed and barefoot, with a beloved kitty, looking vaguely surprised that anyone would care to pay attention. Other musicians should take a page from that book. But then again, maybe most just don't have what it takes.

[@BruceBeatlefan]

Well said, couldn't agree more. The first thought that comes to mind when the name Carole King comes up is, "one of the three greatest American pop songwriters in history and she is upstaged by her cat on the cover of her greatest work".

[@bradreid1121]

She epitomises the purity of the era, of which I was lucky enough to have been part of!

This is such a beautiful song. It really resonates when you are young when everything can be so transient. Friends have a tendency to come and go, couple up, move on. That idea of a friend who remains constant and will "come running" is powerful.

[@razrasmos1033]

Yes that’s how it speaks to me! I was a young teen when I first heard this & it moved my world, now Im 70 & I just wanted to hear this song & will listen to more, wonderful song wonderful the way it still moves me! Admittedly I was on a Youth for Christ trip & one of the girls sang this song so it is strongly associated with ‘Jesus’ saying U gotta friend’ 👍🎂🎶

[@mikechow5317]

When you think of Carole King, you'll only need to think of her signature song which is still relevant till today 52 years after it first appeared.

[@sjk6101983]

I sing this song all the time to my niece to know that she’s loved by her aunt ❤❤❤

[@judithviera6512]

My nephew sent me this song yesterday as he remembers me singing it, since I was 12...67 now lol ..so grateful to carol

[@princesswilliams969]

This song was played on the pa system every morning at school. Students and teachers would sing throughout the entire building. ❤❤❤ ❤

[@mikewhite1920]

This song reminds me that the persons you can count on are those who share your pain & touch your wounds with a warm & tender hand.

[@zarifafletcher5026]

Thank you Carol for sharing this song with your wonderful voice. Thank you for being present in all of our worlds through your music. Many hearts have been touched. Especially mine.

[@lisalazarczyk8426]

I had a dearest best friend in high school… I always thought of this song as our song…he and I lost track of each other over the years as happens in life, but happily connected with each other at our 50th high school reunion in 2016… as if no time had passed we are, once more, the dearest of friends. A friendship like this is a very precious gift. ❤

[@mpacper80]

Just lost my best friend. I’d give anything to have her back but she is resting now. We will meet again 🙏🏼❤️

Hi Nicole hope you’re okay?

[@ravindrra]

Absolutely true🌸

[@RenzDFNetwork]

This song reminds me of my best friend. The world tragically lost him in 2022. Only 19 years old. I miss you, brother.

[@richardgordon5809]

My name is ricky and I'm 43 yrs old.... It was always me and my mom.... She had divorced my dad when I was 3 and later on in life they grew to be ok again but for awhile it was just me and her.... I come from a big family So i was always ok.... Since I could remember my mom would clean my house, do dishes etc. And play this aulbum over and over.... I grew to love it.... As I got older and we would talk life, this song became our song and we said we would dance to it if I ever got married.... Well I met the girl that I'm going to spend my life with, and ironically my mom has known her since I was in The first grade.... November of 2020 my mom got sick and she wasn't doing so well and she passed....will never get to do that dance.... Some days are better then others but life isn't the same with her gone.... She was the sweetest and most giving person I have ever known.... She taught me so much about life and how to survive.... She was my bestfriend and my number 1 fan.... I hope I make her proud and when it's my time I hope she's the first 1 there.... No matter what, this will always be our song, forever.....

[@mabel2687]

I'm so sorry for your loss. But you have these wonderful memories to cherish. My hope for you is that you live a long and happy life and that you create the same wonderful memories for your children. Your mom will be w you on your wedding day.

[@lindawalton8384]

Oh wow. I feel like I wrote that. What helped me with loosing my sweet angel mom was reading The Bible.

[@richardgordon5809]

Thank you very much.... I'm catholic and my girl and I go every Sunday to church and it's all I do alot of times is read.... Ya man she's with me everyday.... It's all good, just sucks when I can't pick up the phone and call her or go hang out and talk.... I miss just sitting and talking the most....

[@carolakeller2825]

❤😇❤😇❤

[@lyndyke6178]

By remembering her so well and sharing you Have honoured her, mate.

[@tylormcguire6602]

Carole, I can remember growing up with my mother listening to this album on repeat. This song has been the guiding principle of our lives.

[@jonathanwills9725]

I believe Carol knows God and inspired her to write this song.

[@manuelsoteldo8641]

i am agree

[@psefti]

I had a great stage buddy, this was our song ….we lost contact in 1974 ….miss you Carol (Canadian Sherry) hugs from Ceylun ….I am 83 now still hangin in here ….

[@Tebanovich]

Ladies and gentlemen, you´re listening to what eventually becomes the most perfect song ever composed. Its perfection stuns me...of course, I´m already 48 and on the 11th of May, 2019 it will be a week my dear mother passed away, so the difference in meaning for me from when I first heard it at age 12 to now is quite evident. It´s amazing: all the comments on this song say what I´m really feeling!!

[@luissarrag2628]

My best friend (former boss) sent it to me 1 week ago, she passed away last night due to COVID...can't express enough the sorrow in my heart and soul 💔😪

[@veniecewilliams564]

I'm truly sorry for you and your friend family passing.

[@madihmajdali5925]

Thank you flame scans, i read some of my favorite list on your website and now i don't know where to find some of them. Glad to have been a reader for a few years back

[@jpeyton88]

Love that Lou Alder told strings to follow whatever King plays on the piano. King has such a gift of melody and harmony.

[@FarAwayEyes69]

The greatest song ever written ! EVER ! God so much memories ! I can not listen to this without crying ! Thank you so much Carole ! BLESS YOU AND BE SAFE !

[@izenguarr5236]

This greatness is just a tiny example of how magical the '70 were.... This and so many more is what helped make it the best decade in history.

[@吉本将人-r4h]

When you're down and troubled, And you need some love and care, And nothing, nothing is going right Close your eyes and think of me, And soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest night. You just call out my name And you know wherever I am I'll come running to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall All you have to do is call And I'll be there You've got a friend If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds And that old north wind begins to blow Keep your head together and call my name out loud Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door You just call out my name And you know wherever I am I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall All you have to do is call And I'll be there, yes I will. Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend When people can be so cold? They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you And take your soul if you let them, Oh, but don't you let them You just call out my name And you know wherever I am I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, yeah, to see you again. Winter, spring, summer or fall All you have to do is call And I'll be there, yes I will. You've got a friend You've got a friend Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend? Ain't it good to know? Ain't it good to know? Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend? Oh yeah, now Oh, you've got a friend Yeah, baby You've got a friend Oh yeah... You've got a friend

[@dhouse-d5l]

The 70's was a time of superalative song writing, whether this type of sophisticated folk or rock, or pop.. or even cheesy gimmick music.... the common thread? It was all very very well written. Nothing today is well written it all sounds the same.

[@charliepickard7798]

There is a video of Carol and James Taylor, singing this together, you can see the admiration they have for each other. Don't compare versions, enjoy them all, this is a great song. Carol King was an amazing song writer as was James Taylor and both versions are beautiful.

[@tarrylrosier8443]

charlie pickard ...I believe that they were married to one another.

[@grahamjones7328]

James Taylor was married to Carly Simon.

[@unamckillen7125]

Yes. Carol and James were friends and, if you are lucky, that can outlast marriages. Those guys life trajectories were so different but they stayed loyal. Respect.@@grahamjones7328

[@OldTimeMovies22222]

You should check out Donny Hathaway’s live version. The crowd joins in and it is pretty amazing.

[@AndyB1286]

When I was in my teens, my music teacher gave me this song. And I'm very glad he did 🙂 I re-discovered Carole King one night when BBC Four did a re-run of one of her 1971 concerts. What can I say - absolutely exquisite singing and playing. Carole was/is a pro in action, and so were those with her that night.

[@brigittep5157]

Such a long time since I listened this lovely song. It makes me remember my good friends. We were English, French, Israeli, Lebanese, Chilien, Canadien, North American.. We lived in UK and we were friends. I still love all of you. Brigitte

[@paulheffron4836]

Friends are the family we create for ourselves and sometimes friends are God's way of apologizing for our relatives. I've been blessed with a good family and many friends who are of the kind that Carole King is singing about here.

[@lorrainevismara5415]

So well said and I had the same conversation today.

[@LightmareBoi]

Me too

[@ohyeah3365]

Gods way of apologizing, good thought. May all who love feel the love of those friends that carry us through.

Crying over here too. Last sing I heard at my Nana's. I was 9. I just miss my parents and grandparents for so long now. I miss them all so very much. I have faith to see them when my spirit leaves my body one day. 🙏 I'm blessed to have had all four in my life for as little or as long as I did. But damn I miss them more than ever. Is this normal?

[@jk-bx1gz]

Me too

Thanks Ms. King. Best song ever to make us all feel not so lost in this world...
