Dear whoever is reading this, we don't know each other and there is a strong possibility we might never meet, but I wish nothing but the best and happiness for you ❤️🤙
@@johnshields6852 I was born in 1971... February...😁but I listened to it in my mother's womb cause I had this radio you know so I never missed it when it was played...
Just a bit of transparency. My wife sings this to my daughter to learn the seasons of the year. Today i play it for my daughter for breakfast and imnsinging it to her....and tears come down. My heart is heavy. And im just so grateful to hear these words and look at her face. Im still quietly crying. And my baby shouts sing it daddy!! 😂😂😂 God is good. Never forget you are loved. All of us.
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. I tear up sometimes too at the meaning of the lyrics and how I’ve never meant it so much than I do for that perfect little face sleeping in my arms. Your wife has fabulous taste in music! Cheers and thanks for sharing
That wouldn't work where I live now, because my mom and I joke about only having two seasons, winter, and road construction. We do have all four seasons. It just doesn't seem like it.
I’ve spent decades listening to my music from the 60s and 70s and this is one that always brought tears. I’ve lost so many of my friends. The world feels so empty now. If you see a gray haired old man walking alone, say hi.
We are the lucky generation having grown up to some of the most timeless and beautiful music ever. I always try to say hello to people. We all need a friend from time to time.
I was 15 when I first heard this song. My English teacher played it in class. I absolutely loved it. I’m now 65 and have lost many good friends and worst of all my sister. It pains me a lot but I’m lucky I still have a friend I can call. Children and grandchildren.
I been a sister of Carol kind since I was 14 years old …. i L💓Ve Carol and All my Girlfriends got her records, she kept us Alive 🙏🏾Thankyou Carol. From PEIsland 🇨🇦Canada.
Somehow this song still just plucks to the heart of your emotions... I'm 78 years old, but my 18 year old grandson tells me that it does the same for him too!
Dad passed away when I was 5, My mom struggled dealing with me but bought an MP3 player when I was a young kid and to this day is one of my fondest memories for comfort and relaxation for a song. I'm 25 now and have a son of my own and yet when I hear this song I'm a little kid again by her side realizing now that I was healing with her.
Timeless. She wrote every song on this album that was the best seller for decades. We still have the original album ALMOST 50 YRS LATER & play it often.
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.
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".
This is my momma's song. We played it at her celebration of life and could definitely hear her singing along. I love my Carol and she loved her Carole.
This woman has saved my life over & over again. Now I grandmother, I honestly must say that I may not have made it this far, without Carole King........good music is healing; excellent music produces & saves lives.....thank you girlfriend....SGT from Manchester, NH...I can only try to be a little like you.................................................................
I grew up with this album and for my mother and I that’s exactly what Carole’s music is: it’s healing!! It mends the soul and honestly saves lives. ❤️ I couldn’t count the times this song and others have held my hand or my mother’s through the worst life can throw at us.

It's 3:00am, and I awoke from sleep feeling lonely for my husband who passed away in recent months past...Carol King's "You've Got A Friend" says it all, and provides comfort during this night when I awakened at 3 AM...Amen.
Used to listen to this 35 years ago in my mom’s house and she would play it loud when she did house chores. It was my mom favorite’s song. When I listen to this song now I miss my mom so much.
I am a Chilean man that was a teenager in the 70th. My friends and I carry Carol’s’ LP anyplace we went. Many of us fell in love for the first time with her music. I could bet that all of us are still in love with her music. If “timeless “ had a face that would be this song. Cheers!
I travel in time to my sisteen years and it reminds me of all the dreams about a future that never come. Beautiful music when we need friends so much. Thank you from all my heart
In 1972 I was pregnant with my daughter and sang this to her before and after she was born August 1972 when she was born. I still sing this. Love it. Thank you Carole for great songs. ❤❤❤Holly
Friends are so hard to come by. When I had a major heart attack on October 7, 2017, I text a good friend from the ambulance and he came right away to the hospital. He brought me food during my 10 day stay in the hospital. Alberto is a true friend. Praise God!
My sister and I love this song! She just sent this to me again. I am now 61, and she's 70 years old..Amazing how this song keeps on touching our 💕 hearts 💕over and over
Wow, my wife and myself are 63 years old! My sister is 72 years young! We haven’t spoken in over a year, today is July 12, 2024! Well guess who called me today, my beloved sister! This song really touches home! Sent this video and song to her! She called and was crying! We are good now!!! Thank you Jesus!!!😢😢😢😢❤❤❤
My mom left me 13 years ago... today I dreamed of her... at the moment I saw her I hugged her, my tears fall from my eyes, It was just 10 seconds approx... the most beautiful 10 seconds of all my year... my Christmas gift
Omw I had the same type of dream with my sister about a year after her passing, she was 38. Then a few weeks ago I had it again and she was a little older. It's a hug that's so real just saying I'm ok, you wake up in tears! Sorry for your loss, glad you got a hug:)
There is going to be someone who came here to listen to Carole King and wonder what the hell is Flamescan? 😂. They will never the joy they bought to so many people ❤️
I'm crying in this moment listen this great song. Beautiful song about friendship, just listen to the words. It makes me think of Jesus. He’s always there, just call out his name.
This song still makes me cry every time I hear it. My mom used to sing it when I was young. She’s still my best friend and advocate to this day!! Thank you for the fond memories.
This album has been my friend for over 50 years , I’ve had on LP twice, on tape for the car, CD twice, iTunes, and here sometimes. It’s just a brilliant & beautiful album
Heard it in a supermarket the other day and I knew what God wanted me to do with it our treasured musical director is leaving church to train for the clergy.... Its sad to lose her but all things must pass... In Jesus name Lord Amen... Bless her......Christus Sanctus....
My husband and I listened to this entire cd all the time during the 30 years we were together. This is my favorite from the cd. We always debated whether JT did it better. He passed away 4 years ago. I miss him so much when she sings “but don’t you let them..”. He always made the point to sing that line out loud. I miss him so much. 💔💔💔
Awww, so sorry about your loss. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
@@Falaje64 yeah, thanks. God knows best for sure and He'll definitely give us the grace and strength to push through 💪. It's also nice hearing from you, where are you chatting from?
My love to all those here who have expressed sadness in their lives. I wish you all happiness and good health from now on, and until the end of your days.
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.
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.
Thank u. Lord for this day an all the things I have done for me everyday as I pray for the that need 5:11 people to remember the lord that gave up his life for us For give me for any sins that I might of done Bless me oh father amen

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’ 👍🎂🎶
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 !
I’m almost 13 now, but when I was little my mom would sing this song or play it, and I’ve been feeling sad lately, and she just sent this to me. It feels so good to hear this song years later. ❤️🌸
Just call him & he will still be there. Life never ends. It just changes format. Think of how this album went from a 33 1/3 record to a CD. That's what your friend has done & what you will do too, some day. Nevertheless, the contents remain the same. You just call out his name. . . . 🙏
My friend of more than 30 years died a few years back and it is impossible to understand how it hurts. How much pain there is. I went through a phase where I drank too much and I really embarrassed myself on one occasion. Barbara just said to me "keep your dignity". That was so kind and understanding and so Barbara. . I have lapsed and a family member I loved all my life proved not so understanding. I don't even like him now.
Alicia thanks you for being very sweet and good friend to me I know you never do anything to hurt me because you are very nice and careing person I your always be there for me
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.

Manon Tisserand very good and professional Nailed every word and utterance to the tee you must write and sing yourself what do you think of Janice Joplin and her influences , did you awaken in your music the 1st time you heard her? PS I know this is Carol King ( my 3rd favorite lady singer behind Janice Joplin And Carley Simon , I'm just asking about Janice to you because of a earlier post I wrote today ThanX and cYa LaTeR I wish, you are very beautiful and on the inside too , I can tell
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!!
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. ❤
Thank you, Flamescans. 🙏🏼❤️😭 You've been there at some of my darkest times. No joke. I've always looked forward to the little joy i get from your site. I hope you all are doing well and i wish you all the very best the world can offer. 🙏🏼 Till next time, my friends. ❤️ -ParappaNotTheRapper
Bruh, i also came here from Flamescans. Are they gone for good?! Wtf?! WHERE can i read favorite manhwas now like “HEAVENLY DEMON CULTIVATION SIMULATION” or “TYRANT OF THE TOWER” and “EX AND ASH” …etc
I so much love this song because it speaks of a spiritual reality and that reality is this: the friend that we have is the Holy Spirit himself that is present in each child of God who believes in the Lord himself, Jesus Christ.❤
I love the one who cared for me when it seemed no one in the world did .. I have since learned that God is my Father and I call on him when I need help .. Jesus my Savior has healed my heart of hurt
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 💔😪
My dad passed away 1 year and 16 days ago. I've discovered this song in the middle of last year, but the james taylor live version, i loved it, heard it multiple times. Today doing something for my mom in her email i found an email from my dad in which he dedicates this song to her. 🥺🥺🥺
Soft and powerful sentiment. Carole King caught the emotion in all of us when she introduced this song over 50 years ago. AND now more than ever, this music is still the one.
I SENT THIS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS. WE SENT THERE DAD TO HEAVEN AND WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE FIRST HOLIDAYS. MOM GRANDMA WILL HELP THEM AND DAD WILL HELP ME AS WELL. I FEEL HIM AROUND ME. LOVE YOU LOTS MOM GRANDMA GRANDPA
@@GRANDMA05 Hope everything goes well with you and your family too, I'd love to get to know you better and become friends. Let's connect and chat sometime!
2025 & I'm STILL loving this song. I'm grateful that God created me to be genuine, loving, & sincere, in every way. To whomever is reading this... Ain't it good to know, when you've got a friend?!?🫶🏾❤️
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.
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.
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.
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
yesterday my good friend JULIO CESAR DOMINQUEZ was cremated, he died of covid.. never a better friend you could count on him anytime. a good friend, father, son. a great musician he played guitar, piano, tiple and a whole bunch other instruments, real good artist he painted themes of cartagena de indias where he lived for many years. i am really sorry he passed and i will miss my friend, cant find a better song to remember him. God bless his soul, dale DIOS mio el descanso eterno, descanse en paz AMEN
. Sorry for your real loss. Fortunately you had a true friend. Hopefully you can pass this friendship on to others. It does not replace your loss but it multiplies the love and grace that you had received. Who knows where that light could lead.
Much-covered pop-classic by the one and only Carole King, from her 1971 album, Tapestry. A favourite of one of my older sisters, the heartfelt vocal and beautiful harmonic modulations of the original just cannot be beaten.
昔々聞いた素敵な曲 今友人を思いしみじみ感じます なにもできない私ですが 困ってれば友人を思い訪れたい なにもできないかもしれないけど 少なくとも側にいてあげたい そんな気持ちです

I'm 63 years old but back when I was a teenager me and some of my friends turned this into a gospel song.
Wawwww i wish listen!!❤
Carole King recorded the most beautiful, soulful tunes of her period....nobody can replace her wonderful music! :-))
Somehow this song still just plucks to the heart of your emotions... I'm 78 years old, but my 18 year old grandson tells me that it does the same for him too!
Sounds like a great kid!
I’m 68 soon and still singing and playing this song everyday‼️
That’s because music is the universal language of the soul
Weren’t we lucky to be born and grow up around the time of this kind of music 🎉
Dad passed away when I was 5, My mom struggled dealing with me but bought an MP3 player when I was a young kid and to this day is one of my fondest memories for comfort and relaxation for a song.

Excellent album but sometimes I feel awful singing along to Smackwater Jack! 🥺

Us too!!!
One of the best albums of all time...one of the best singers of all time....
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.
Tapestry has to be one of the best albums of all time. It came out shortly before I started college. It always takes me back to those days.
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.

She epitomises the purity of the era, of which I was lucky enough to have been part of!
Hey I feel that Janis Joplin was an iconic talent also, but in a different genre.
Eloquently said!
Tells you who they are as people. What's real or what sells. Kinda like our current conditions globally. 🕊

She's always there for you, in dreams, memories, I know the feeling, my mom passed 8 years ago and still miss her, talk to her and to others about.
That cat is long dead and gone but Carole and this song will live forever. God , I’m not growing old gracefully.
R.I.P. the cat, but it will also live forever thanks to this iconic album cover!
@@doctorgoodguy1 That baby....
You're beautiful.
You can never underestimate the blessings of a lifelong friend.❤
You're growing gracefully.
There is going to be someone who came here to listen to Carole King and wonder what the hell is Flamescan? 😂. They will never the joy they bought to so many people ❤️
Hi, that's me.
I'm crying in this moment listen this great song. Beautiful song about friendship, just listen to the words. It makes me think of Jesus. He’s always there, just call out his name.
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
This song still makes me cry every time I hear it. My mom used to sing it when I was young. She’s still my best friend and advocate to this day!! Thank you for the fond memories.
Makes me cry too. Been playing it all week hoping the waterworks would dry up. Nope. Still weepy. 💕
Crying now
This album has been my friend for over 50 years , I’ve had on LP twice, on tape for the car, CD twice, iTunes, and here sometimes. It’s just a brilliant & beautiful album
Heard it in a supermarket the other day and I knew what God wanted me to do with it our treasured musical director is leaving church to train for the clergy.... Its sad to lose her but all things must pass...
In Jesus name Lord Amen...
Bless her......Christus Sanctus....
My husband and I listened to this entire cd all the time during the 30 years we were together. This is my favorite from the cd. We always debated whether JT did it better. He passed away 4 years ago. I miss him so much when she sings “but don’t you let them..”. He always made the point to sing that line out loud. I miss him so much. 💔💔💔
May God give you back your joy.🙏🏼🤗
Awww, so sorry about your loss. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
@@georgemelvin7187 thank you. I’m hanging in. Just existing really. I’m sorry you lost your wife. 😥
@@Falaje64 yeah, thanks. God knows best for sure and He'll definitely give us the grace and strength to push through 💪. It's also nice hearing from you, where are you chatting from?
@@georgemelvin7187 I’m in Connecticut in the US.
Timeless song.Thank you Carol King.
This is for my beautiful sweetheart and he knows exactly who he is 😈😈
My love to all those here who have expressed sadness in their lives. I wish you all happiness and good health from now on, and until the end of your days.
thank you
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.
My nephew sent me this song yesterday as he remembers me singing it, since I was 12...67 now lol ..so grateful to carol
Flame scan 😭 you’ll forever be in my heart 💔
Just can"t ever forget this song. So many memories growing up and Carol was always with me.
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.

That is not a friend. But a real love
This album is ,first album, buy in my life
So correct, Always get back to this song. Sums it up!

Bless me oh father amen
ThxJesus
@@judytaylor5712 Hope everything goes well with you and your family too, I'd love to get to know you better and become friends. Let's connect and chat sometime!
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’ 👍🎂🎶
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 !
I’m almost 13 now, but when I was little my mom would sing this song or play it, and I’ve been feeling sad lately, and she just sent this to me. It feels so good to hear this song years later. ❤️🌸
Keep your chin up! So sweet that your mom sent you this.
Amen be happy and honor Your Mother She wont live forever neither Will Mines so We gotta appreciate Them While Their still living
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m 16 and I still listen to this song
Carol king wrote the lyrics to this song when she was 13.
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.
Such a wonderful song Carole King is so beautiful
My friend Danny died by suicide yesterday. I’m compiling all the songs he sent me and he sent me this a couple weeks ago. He had amazing taste.
May he rest in peace
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. Excellent taste in music and friends. I'm sorry he was in that much pain.
Sorry for your loss. You will see him again.
so sorry for your loss
You’re a good friend, may he rest easy
In paradise
My true friend died in January. He told me “just call me, and I’ll be there. That’s how it should be”. I miss him terribly.
Just call him & he will still be there. Life never ends. It just changes format. Think of how this album went from a 33 1/3 record to a CD. That's what your friend has done & what you will do too, some day. Nevertheless, the contents remain the same. You just call out his name. . . . 🙏
My friend of more than 30 years died a few years back and it is impossible to understand how it hurts. How much pain there is. I went through a phase where I drank too much and I really embarrassed myself on one occasion. Barbara just said to me "keep your dignity". That was so kind and understanding and so Barbara. . I have lapsed and a family member I loved all my life proved not so understanding. I don't even like him now.
That is how it is.
Alicia thanks you for being very sweet and good friend to me I know you never do anything to hurt me because you are very nice and careing person I your always be there for me
What a legend she is...Her voice is relaxing. How true friends should behave..
One of my favorite songs of all time, and Tapestry is one of the few albums I listen to from beginning to end. Great songwriting. 👍
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
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
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, a-running, yeah, yeah-eah
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes I will
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, a-running, yeah, yeah-eah
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will (oh, yes I will)
[Outro]
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
You've got a friend
Yeah baby
You've got a friend
Oh, yeah
You've got a friend
And now I'm definitely crying. But thank you.
Thanks

Me emociona la letra de esta canción.
The song is as brilliant and relevant now as it was when first produced in 1971.
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.
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!!
Thank you to Carole. Blessed are those with friends, our allies in life. ❤
🌏🕊
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. ❤
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.
2023..... and still mesmerized by your music. Endlessly beautiful 😘
My relief,
She is immortal.
I jus!
Still the BEST! One of the most authentic, strong, lovely singers and songwriters of our time!
Hi Nicole hope you’re okay?
Absolutely true🌸
A fav from 70's now at 73 I so appreciate this song
❤
Thank you, Flamescans. 🙏🏼❤️😭 You've been there at some of my darkest times. No joke. I've always looked forward to the little joy i get from your site. I hope you all are doing well and i wish you all the very best the world can offer. 🙏🏼 Till next time, my friends. ❤️ -ParappaNotTheRapper

Bruh, i also came here from Flamescans. Are they gone for good?! Wtf?! WHERE can i read favorite manhwas now like “HEAVENLY DEMON CULTIVATION SIMULATION” or “TYRANT OF THE TOWER” and “EX AND ASH” …etc
Omg so this is real they are really gone NAURRRRRRRRRRR
Man I tough the website are down until I properly read it, it was down for good 😭
brooo 😢😂
I so much love this song because it speaks of a spiritual reality and that reality is this: the friend that we have is the Holy Spirit himself that is present in each child of God who believes in the Lord himself, Jesus Christ.❤
I love the one who cared for me when it seemed no one in the world did .. I have since learned that God is my Father and I call on him when I need help .. Jesus my Savior has healed my heart of hurt
Today would have been my mom's 90 birthday..she loved carol king mom this for you ..I miss you and love you!
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 💔😪
I'm truly sorry for you and your friend family passing.
Sorry for your loss, may her soul rest in peace.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
She puts all your feelings into words then if that's not enough she also puts the music to it... thanks Carole x
My dad passed away 1 year and 16 days ago. I've discovered this song in the middle of last year, but the james taylor live version, i loved it, heard it multiple times. Today doing something for my mom in her email i found an email from my dad in which he dedicates this song to her. 🥺🥺🥺
Those Four -- Opening Chords…… Carol King💓💗
Soft and powerful sentiment. Carole King caught the emotion in all of us when she introduced this song over 50 years ago.
AND now more than ever, this music is still the one.
Just lost my best friend. I’d give anything to have her back but she is resting now. We will meet again 🙏🏼❤️
😢😢😢😢
Margaret P. Perez Prayers 🙏🏻
Love from here to you both x
Lost my life long best friend back in September 15, 2018. I miss her so very much ❤️💞

I grew up with your songs; listening to the radio. Thank you so very much, Beautiful Carole King. Sincerely, Martin Kroebel.
I sing this song all the time to my niece to know that she’s loved by her aunt ❤❤❤
2025 & I'm STILL loving this song. I'm grateful that God created me to be genuine, loving, & sincere, in every way. To whomever is reading this... Ain't it good to know, when you've got a friend?!?🫶🏾❤️
Yes it is! Greetings from Germany. „You've got a friend.“
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!! ❤️ Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷
I was thinking the same, thing...such a beautiful Song, Melody...everything!
I've always loved Carole King songs! They always touch your heart! 😂😊
Absolutely 👍
Love that Lou Alder told strings to follow whatever King plays on the piano. King has such a gift of melody and harmony.
This song was played on the pa system every morning at school. Students and teachers would sing throughout the entire building. ❤❤❤ ❤
❤❤
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.
The greatest music has a timeless message.
Carole's masterpiece never ages.
I have always loved Carole King and James Taylor they both bring me so much joy and the lyrics will stay with me for the rest of my life!
Hi Beverly hope you’re okay?
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.
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.
So well said and I had the same conversation today.
Me too
Gods way of apologizing, good thought. May all who love feel the love of those friends that carry us through.
too bad u cant pick your family like u can friends
was listening to this album in college with some dear friends who became family. some are still around 50 years later.
リトグリから来ました。横アリでとても感動して、泣いてしまいました。英語で歌詞は分からなかったけど、何故か伝わってきて泣いてしまいました。歌って素晴らしいですね。
One of the most Beautiful songs of all times. I love it, this song brings back the best memories of my childhood and adolescence. 👏👏👊👊👍👍🥰
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.
charlie pickard ...I believe that they were married to one another.
James Taylor was married to Carly Simon.
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
You should check out Donny Hathaway’s live version. The crowd joins in and it is pretty amazing.
Just wonderful times of frienship all around!!
How true friends should act❤️
Smiles, hi Angelina 🌺😊
yesterday my good friend JULIO CESAR DOMINQUEZ was cremated, he died of covid.. never a better friend you could count on him anytime. a good friend, father, son. a great musician he played guitar, piano, tiple and a whole bunch other instruments, real good artist he painted themes of cartagena de indias where he lived for many years. i am really sorry he passed and i will miss my friend, cant find a better song to remember him. God bless his soul, dale DIOS mio el descanso eterno, descanse en paz AMEN
. Sorry for your real loss. Fortunately you had a true friend. Hopefully you can pass this friendship on to others. It does not replace your loss but it multiplies the love and grace that you had received. Who knows where that light could lead.
Thank you and GOD be with you always, even our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST !
Much-covered pop-classic by the one and only Carole King, from her 1971 album, Tapestry. A favourite of one of my older sisters, the heartfelt vocal and beautiful harmonic modulations of the original just cannot be beaten.
Beautiful!! Love you so much Carole King!!
Smiles, absolutely beautiful Leticia, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺 😊
