    “So Far Away” is a song written by Carole King, which appeared on her 1971 album Tapestry. The recording features James Taylor on acoustic guitar. In addition to Taylor, and King on piano, instruments include Russ Kunkel on drums, Charles Larkey on bass guitar and Curtis Amy on flute.

    The lyrics express longing for a lover who is far away. When I listen to the song, it makes me feel the meaning of distance and sadness. The music and voice expresses the lyrics.
    In 1971, So Far Away by Carole King entered US Billboards Hot 100 chart at peak position number 14.

    In 1995, Rod Stewart's cover of the song was included on the tribute album Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King.
