    It's interesting she singles out the song, So Far Away. The Tapestry album came out in 1971, just about the time I left home---moved from Ohio to Raleigh. I left everyone I knew, the radio was my best friend for a few months, and that song had special meaning.

    It's Going to Take Some Time .(1971)

    There is a Mazda commercial on TV that starts out like it's going to be this song and it bothers me.. [​IMG]



    After all the tears we've spent how could we make amends?
    So, it's one more round for experience and I'm on the road again.
    And it's going to take some time this time.

    Sweet Seasons
    Written by Carole King and Toni Stern in 1971

    Tim Crouse (who?) of Rolling Stone describes the song as a disappointing throwaway. Actress Jessie Mueller, who portrayed King in the Broadway musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, regards Sweet Seasons as one of her favorite King songs.
