Tapestry

Solid work

Sesame street

Had heard so many of the songs on here as covers. Was good to finally hear the original. Also a cat on the album cover? That gets a thumbs up from me.

Beautiful album

I was hit with a bit of nostalgia while listening, both because there are a few songs on here that I have heard several times growing up but also because of how ethereal this album feels. It is otherwordly, melancholic, and soothing. The piano has a strong presence throughout many of the tracks.

Thoughts before listening: I know this is one of the best selling album from the 80s and that its full of hits. I am sure I will recognize a lot of these songs, but I don't believe I have heard the full album before. I'm expecting singer songwriter music that leans heavily on folk and soft rock sounds. Review: Maybe this is my age showing, but you know what? This is pretty good. Its definitely soft rock, which typically isn't my favorite, but this has a very nice, jazziness to the music courtesy of the piano. Add in some sax solos and slow songs full of soulful emotion, and I'm enjoying myself quite a bit. 4-stars

Like a big hug. Super pleasant to listen to, but it’s not without a few slightly more boring “skips.” Big fan though. Faves: - I Feel the Earth Move - So Far Away - It's Too Late - Where You Lead - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

A classic album. There are times it steers close to being Easy Listening, but there is pure class in both the writing and performing. There's a reason it's been in Top 100 Albums lists for 50-ish years.

Some serious bangers on this one.

Tapestry is everything it says to be, providing the listener with a good selection of soulful piano ballads, a couple well paced rock songs and an unmistakable early 1970's charm that is difficult to replicate. Carole King brings out her majestic and mature vocal abilities to paint a beautiful picture with sentimental and nostalgic lyrics. Recommended on atmosphere alone. 3.5/5 rounded up to a 4/5

Very good stuff. Not my vibe, but a great sound throughout, consistent Elenor loves this album

I knew who Carole King was. I have heard some of the songs. Never listened to the full album before. She is an excellent song writer. This is hard to rate, because it is very good, but not really my thing. It doesn't meet my criteria for a 4, but a 3 feels like I am short changing her talent. So I will break my normal scoring system, and bump this up to a 4.

This album is a bit of a record collecting cliche, so it's strange that this is my first time sitting down to listen to it in full. It's a solid piece of early 70s soft rock. There are a lot of songs you will recognise. King was clearly a gifted writer. It's got a relaxed vibe, I can imagine lounging about with my partner listening to this on a slow Sunday morning. I have one criticism, that relaxed vibe is just too consistent. By the beginning of side 2 all the songs start to blend together, until Smackwater Jack provides a much needed shot of Energy. Overall I enjoyed it much more than I expected.

8/10 One of the most consistently great albums on this list. Carole King has plenty of different ways to show her art to her audience. The first half showing her passionate side to her lover, while the second being more eclectic, but similar topics. Glad she switched up her style as it could’ve gotten stale. Favorite Tracks: I Feel the Earth Move, Tapestry, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

A lot of hits on this. Great songwriter. Unique voice. Stand out song - you've got a friend

The Good: We are being treated to some good ol’ fashioned arts and crafts! The Bad: Nobody checked to see if the tapestry had mites in them… The Ugly: The many scratched sores I have on my arm now… What? Did I just call this album old? Guess I did… What I did not (yet) call this album was great, which it sure as heck is. As many other commentators, there are so many known songs on this album, it is scary to realize how important Mrs King has been for modern music. During the day, I ended up playing this album 3 times, mainly due to the fact that I was too focused on a project that has a deadline three days ago, and I was too lazy to even click a saved album, or favorite playlist on the spotify… After three listens, you start to feel a little tired… which, I guess, is what easy listening music will do to you. Still, the dame deserves credit where credit is due, and I want to make sure that, once I finished this journey, I will find this album back on the 4+* list I am keeping. Good job Carole!!!!

What a legend. It's impossible to hate on Carole King. Her music, lyrics, playing style are all so sincere. I love the blues, soul and folk influences here. She kind of takes it her own direction and carrys on a deep American tradition. I was thinking "who else plays music like this now??" And then I remembered Adele. Adele is 2020s Carole King. Which is great, because they both have such killer and unique styles.

Not my thing at all - but this is clearly a great album by a super talented artist. Superb songwriting and musicianship. Some very famous songs on here. Title track a bit of a dud though.

Je connaissais pas cette artiste, c’était agréable de la découvrir. Il y a quelques sons que je réécouterai sûrement.

Folk music, but a bit more upbeat. Very enjoyable.

This is quite lovely. I never knew Carole King wrote 'You Got a Friend' and 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow?' and they both appear on this album. 4.5

Tapestry has some thoughtful songwriting that rarely loses its grip on the listener; King is always engaging in her lyrical work and dynamic accompaniment. I also love her voice; it’s powerful and unpolished and that adds to the authenticity of the music. I liked the whole album and loved half of the tracks, so I say it’s a success as a whole piece. My favorites were: It’s too late So far away Beautiful Tapestry Natural woman

Carole King is a great songwriter, and it shows in the number of staying hits on this album--even those that were popularized by other artists like Aretha Franklin. There were a few moments where I thought that a song might've been better served by a different vocalist. Some of the heavier songs would've benefited from a more powerful belter in my opinion. That's more personal preference than a criticism, though. King's voice is still great and doesn't detract from any of the performances.

WAUW! Great album! Sort of greatest Hits!

Carole King capte les mouvements de la vie dans des mélodies complexes et une interprétation franche, entière, sans artifice

Very lovely album!! Really love the Aretha Franklin cover at the end (good timing bc we just got her album a few days ago AND I just watched the Blues Brothers)

So many hits in here! Very lovely!

Quite enjoyed this, but the best songs on it are the covers and they’re not better than the originals. It’s Too Late and You’ve Got a Friend were decent though

Fair play she wrote some big tunes.

I quite enjoyed this. I recognised a few of the songs, which surprised me.

This made me feel like a natural woman, don’t tell the TERFs.

Surprisingly the first time I've listened to this the whole way through. I get why it is a classic although it's not really for me.

great album start to finish.

4.2/truly has some bangers tbh. vinyl in collection.

Really a fantastic album start to finish. Amazing voice and great songwriting. Instrumentally it’s pretty average but I would recommend this to anyone. Is it a perfect 5? No. Would I listen to it again? Absolutely.

Sonorità molto classiche e belle

Easy, easy, easy listening. It took me a couple songs to get into it, but then was really hooked on this one. It's a shame there isn't a half star rating, because this is a true 4.5/5. Almost 5.

This is nice.

Not quite my kind of music, but very surprised by how many songs I already knew enough to sing along with. So many hits. Still had some forgettable songs mixed in that made it not start to finish great.

Great lyrics

Undeniable classic

4.5 stars but not a 5 which remains reserved for legendary albums. This is a great great album though.

difficult to talk about an album as universal as this one. by far the most notable thing Carole King did as a lead artist and not without merit. folksy and comforting, this is probably the peak of soft rock. deserves to be one of the 1001? for sure

Tapestry is woven with a comfortable feel, vibrant color, and skilled craftsmanship. The album starts out with a “greatest hits” threefer and continues on a hot streak. The covers of You’ve Got A Friend by JT and Where You Lead by Streisand were bigger hits than the originals but 9 of 12 tracks are more than recognizable from 70’s radio play. The title cut Tapestry is the weakest song on the album which makes us wonder why it was selected for the title. Very strong finish with Natural Woman. Great vocals throughout. An album this solid as a sophomore effort would be difficult to top in the rest of a career. L = (3.5*s) A bit folksie by today’s standards but enjoyed the listen. J = (4.6*s) Have heard most of these songs before, but first time hearing this album start to finish. Impressive.

It's 4.5, a reasonable 5 shout, maybe just a bit too boring?

This is a fun, pretty record. I don't find Carole King as compelling as Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez, but even being compared to them is a great honor.

4.3/5 A sweet sound, great vocals, and solid album all the way through.

Not typically my style (more my parents) but I knew more songs than I thought and enjoyed it.

Pleasantly surprised. Recognized a few songs that have been popular samples by DJs and hip hop artists. Really interesting musically

Mellow, but very fun and the melodies are catchier than expected. Very easy to listen to overall.

Not necessarily my cup of tea but gotta give respect where it’s due. Great songwriter and voice. Surprised how much of this I recognized which is a credit to Ms. King.

Amazing lyrically while also being simple musically in the best way. Classic album

Carole King is a masterful tunesmith. On this album, she proves this very fact by showing that even in relatively stripped-back form, her songs are some of the most memorable and enjoyable of the entire soul pop genre. That being said, I sometimes wish this album transcended its being just a collection of very pleasant tunes. The structure isn't all that cohesive, and there aren't any real gut punches - which in large part isn't helped by the kind of generic lyrics. But hey, it's still a very nice ride which will please anyone and their neighbours, so who am I to complain?

Surprisingly enjoyable 7/10

i like it

Legendarisk Singer/songwriter covers, folket

Great album. First time listen, will listen again

A classic from start to finish.

No private session used for this one. Turns out I was listening to a classic, I knew most of these songs from my childhood and throughout my life. Lovely voice, brilliant piano, and sweet lyrics.

Really pretty album

Man, the Brill Building was bursting with talent at the time Carole King and Burt Bacharach and Neil Diamond and Paul Simon and so many others were working/being tortured to produce hits there. Carole King is an incredible songwriter and she has a very expressive (if not traditionally strong) voice. I think Tapestry is deservedly ranked among the greatest albums of all time even though it is not one of my personal favorites.

So many great songs on here. Lots I didn't realize Carole King wrote.

A welcome reprieve from the 70's piano cock rock that dominates this infuriating list. Timeless and funky, and Carole King has a lovely voice and great vocal control. Gets a 3, because the piano does not belong in a rock song. Cat on the cover bumps this to a 4.

Riiiichtig schönes Album ☺️

Great voice. Good songs. But also a lot of the same.

Fantastic stuff, just so easy to listen to. Some huge hits including Feel the Earth Move and Natural Woman. Not much to say really because it’s lovely. (4.5 stars)

carole queen

I Feel the Earth Move and So Far Away were fantastic. Some songs just really didn't catch my attention.

Great album

Turns out I know every song on here despite never listening to this album as a whole before

Whoah, I didn't realize how many Carole King songs I knew

I grew up with this album. I love her voice on this, and her piano playing. Solid album.

Pretty darn good

#1 love that cat on the album cover flute outro on so far away is ridiculously somber way over yonder! standout track for me ~~~ will be grading the remaining 1000 recods against this one. not the pinnacle yet, but off to a great start

Her vocals took some getting used to for me. Very musically talented woman. She articulates well which is a plus. 4 stars

Didn't realize how many songs I would recognize from this album, despite not recognizing the artist immediately! The Gilmore Girls theme song was there, how fun. Also You've Got a Friend which I swear I've played so many times in my head when I was young. As well as It's Too Late which is a more recent find of mine.

sweet and simple, easy to the ears and overall just a complete and thematic record, has a warmth thanks to a stripped down structure. Overall an impressive feat of a record. Favorite song: its too late. Overall score: 7.9/10.

Definitely a genre defining album for Pop folk. If Taylor swift was active in the seventies.

It was pretty good, I really enjoyed the jazzy easy-listening sound of the album. The guitar was groovy with some really great arpeggios and some bluesy leads. Lyrically it is a bit underwhelming and, just by it's own influence, cliche. Would listen again, but will not be a mainstay of my listening. Standouts: "It's Too Late" which features a beautiful saxophone and guitar solo "Way over Yonder" has a beautiful bass line, nice rhythm and great bits of piano/lead guitar flare. "You have got a friend" was a favourite song of my mother, I think? It makes me feel really sad, actually, it is really nice but I now want to be hold. "Smackwater Jack" has a really great hook that I love to bits, very nice blues rhythm going on in the guitar and some tasty leads.

Chad. Cute kitty.

Very chad so far away is amazing 4.5

Mycket bra album. Hade hört någon enstaka låt från detta album tidigare, men aldrig lyssnat hela. Första albumet på denna "resa"! Blir spännande att se vilken jag får imorn.

I’ve never listened to a Carole King album all the way through, let alone had any of her songs on my playlists, yet I still found a lot of these songs to be very familiar. Ton of classics on here.

Incredible, vulnerable, powerful, heartwarming.

Lovely album, knew more songs than I thought

A good oldie with some great peak songs. A natural woman is still probably my favorite. It's very easy to listen to from start to end.

A rediscovery. One of those ones with multiple songs you know and like but wouldn't necessarily know the artist. Very pleasant listening.

Nice

Like the album title suggests, Carole King provides a rich tapestry of her musical and singing prowess. There is a beautiful softness in these songs, but don't be fooled - there's a sharp bite in her lyrical messaging just beneath the surface.

1. I Feel the Earth Move 2. Beautiful 3. It's Too Late 4. Will You Love Me Tomorrow? 5. You've Got a Friend 6. So Far Away 7. Where You Lead 8. (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman 9. Smackwater Jack 10. Home Again 11. Tapestry 12. Way Over Yonder

Warm and fun, with amazing singing, songwriting, playing and production. Very enjoyable album.

Great album front to back, storytelling is strong, music is catchy while being original and honest

Like a lot of people my age, these songs remind me of my mom. Very nice tunes that I thought FOR SURE some of were covers, but nope, she wrote all of them (even if they were originally released by another artist). It's kind of crazy how ubiquitous some of these songs are STILL.

Lovely

Grew on me and gets a Gilmore Girls bonus

Lots of hits and raw delivery. Really complete album. I Feel the Earth Move was the song they'd play at the earthquake exhibit at OMSI, so this album has been in my mind since I was really young.

Aw yeah I fuck with some Carole King. She wrote some of the best songs in past 50 years. A true artist, and this album showcases that. Hit after hit baby.

Gotta love people calling these songs covers.

3.5

Wow, so many classics on one album, amazing

Growing up, Tapestry was always playing in the background of my childhood. My mom loved this album, she’d hum along while making dinner, tap the steering wheel in time on long drives listening to the 8 track, and close her eyes during "You’ve Got a Friend", like she was remembering something only she knew. I didn’t fully get it then, but listening now, I understand why this record meant so much to her. Carole King’s voice is warm and familiar, like someone singing just for you. The songs are simple but hit deep—“So Far Away” carries that ache of missing someone, “I Feel the Earth Move” still has that fiery groove, and “It’s Too Late” tells a breakup story with the kind of honesty that feels lived-in. Even “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”, a song I once shrugged off as just one of my mom’s favorites, now feels like pure magic. Listening to Tapestry today, I hear more than just the music. I hear my mom singing along in the kitchen. I hear the scratch of the record player. I hear a piece of my childhood. And I get why this album never left her collection—it’s not just music, it’s comfort, memory, and life itself woven into every note.

This is a beautiful record and to my surprise I just knew all the covers of the song by other artists but not Carole King herself. I was far more engaged than I expected because these songs just seem so well composed, perhaps at bit to safe but overall they're super varied but have a strong cohesion. I'll probably come back to it once the sun shines through my windows again.

Great album definitely a great listen

I, like many others before me, saw this album not for the monument it was before diving in. It's lusciously full of emotion and wit. I enjoy the covered songs but feel the most expression is in delivering her own material. Brings you mentally to Laurel Canyon where her picture sits

An essential “moms who grew up in the 70s” album. Something that got a lot of plays on the family stereo, I reckon.

Decent album, some of the songs are really classics.

MUITO bom papo reto

eu gosto muito de popzinho dos anos 70 lindo demais vai tomar no cuuuuuuuu a produção desse aqui é muito bem feita papo reto. it's too late é PEDRADAÇA! bom demais!

album #1: tapestry by carole king i'm not familiar with this artist or her music but first impressions are that i really love her voice, it sounds quite powerful but also carries a lot of emotion it really isn't what i would typically choose to listen to but i quite like it, though i do admit it can sound a bit basic or generic at times but it is quite enjoyable to listen to

Soulful. A warm hug. Music for spring cleaning, or a rainy day. Fav tracks: I Feel the Earth Move, It's Too Late, Where You Lead

I was born early enough for this album to be in my parents' music collection, but not early enough to have heard it overplayed to death. I was much more familiar with James Taylor's recording of "You've Got a Friend" than Carole King's original. that tends to be the case with King; her legacy as a songwriter has arguably outlasted her work as a solo artist, given just how many other artists have recorded iconic versions of her songs. for some reason, it feels like Tapestry is usually discussed as something that came and went. comedians use Carole King as shorthand to evoke the past. but let's not forget that people bought Tapestry like it was going out of style! it's one of the ten best-selling albums by a female solo artist in the US, where it's gone went 14x Platinum. it charted on the Billboard 200 for 300 weeks straight. it won four Grammys, with Taylor's cover of "You've Got a Friend" winning a fifth. these are impressive accomplishments for any artist, woman or not, and they come with a host of really compelling songs to boot. if you're not into soft rock, Tapestry probably won't convert you, but there's not better examples to be found. King and her session band play these songs with a quiet fire, a refreshing sense of clarity, that makes the music very approachable. unlike other soft-on-the-ears albums I've listened to for this challenge, I get a lot out of the compositions themselves. there's just a hint of jazz or something show tune-y in there, something that keeps each song feeling just a little unpredictable. wish I could pet that cat. light 8/10.

Did not realize going into this album that there were soooo many of the tracks I already knew. I could probably do half the tracks at karaoke. Very 70s folky pop. I like her voice.

Iconic album and I would give 5 stars but some the lyrics just haven’t aged well. “Where You Lead” in particular just doesn’t work in this day and age.

Definitely a classic and one of the best selling albums of all time for a reason. I personally don't throw it on a ton, but no denying its greatness

-the epitome of IGA Grocery Store PA Music. -what was going in the 70's that there was so many folk/soul/love songs?? Revival time? _Natural Woman is everyone.

Her talent as a songwriter — remember, she began working in the Brill Building writing famous songs like "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" as a teenager — is undeniable. This is obviously a major touchstone of the 70s singer-songwriter genre, and it helped define the sound of that decade. Also, I'll take her version of "You've Got a Friend" any day over James Taylor, who makes me cringe.

Many bangers, could use more percussion though (jk)

Half (or more) of these records' ratings reflect their association with my dad. But this is one of Mom's faves. And it's a classic.

Holy crap. I always assumed CK was like a proto Dianne Warren and never took her seriously. Turns out she's Harry Nilsson without the dying young part. Even "natural woman", a great song where Aretha's version is near perfect, sounds good and fresh. Im sorry to have dismissed this lp for decades because it is near flawless. Docking star for sax parts/solo in Way over yonder that did not need to exist.

Not sure what's to say about this one. I think everyone is familiar with Carole's body of work. Amazing songwriter.

Not my genre but songwriting unparalleled. An extraordinary talent. Hard to believe one person wrote these songs in a lifetime never mind on one album.

It's a challenge to rate something with so many iconic songs when those songs really can't hold my interest today. My enjoyment level is like a 2 or 3, but my redirect level is a clear 5. I guess I'm split the difference.

Don’t really like the old sound, but it is relaxing and well paced

What even is a natural woman?

A classic. Not my favorite, but very listenable nevertheless.

Me gustó mucho, es muy relajante y probablemente vuelva a escucharlo algún día, pero no me parece demasiado memorable. La excepción es A Natural Woman, pero Aretha se la comió con papitas.

Iconic

Great stuff!

Carole King's Tapestry was a lightning in a bottle moment, the validation of a type of female songwriter who is allowed to be resolute yet vulnerable under one cloth; the triumph of an industry lifer who wound up changing the American musical composition rulebook with songs that touched upon the very being of the self. It is not a surprise to know that Tapestry is a much regarded effort, for its fingerprints are still embedded in what we hear today. Favorites: I Feel the Earth Move, It's Too Late, Home Again, Beautiful, You've Got a Friend, Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, Smackwater Jack, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.

crazy how every single song on this album became a classic. what’s there to say really? this album is so engrained in the culture that it’s frankly kind of hard to see it clearly. or maybe it’s just engrained in my life, who knows. great album

Buen álbum, interesante fusion de voces para el tiempo en el qué fue grabado

4.79

From a seat on the windowsill, a bejumpered Carole gazes back at us – we’ve interrupted her reverie, but that’s ok. She’ll tell us what she’s been thinking about. A problem shared is a problem halved, and this record doesn’t scrimp on problems. Nor does it scrimp on quality; what’s here is perhaps the neatest distillation of Carole King’s genius available. The song craft, the choices, the melodies, ideas and lyrics that ought to have existed forever – and in a way did, in so far as they perfectly capture something common through human history. It’s a melancholy affair, and the whole thing – from the palette of the album art, to the slightly dusty feel of the mix – amounts to a thorough exploration of our collective autumnal soul. That bit we have that’s caught; that enjoyed the light and warmth of all before but feels it, inexorably, cooling. Carole takes us there and keeps us there. Her characters are always somehow doubting something – never whole, and careful not to totally let themselves feel so. They’re either busy configuring themselves around another’s affections or intentions, or basking in the edifying glow (albeit temporarily, cautiously) of an other’s unbroken gaze. It is to our eternal lack, the bit that wants to know for sure, that “Tapestry” is addressed. And for the simple fact that none of us is ever fated to fill it, be glad that we have a friend.

-crisp vocals -VERY catchy

Solid. I like her voice, like the rollicking piano and the clever lyrics. Earth move is the best.

An excellent album, I really enjoyed so much of this easy to listen to but emotive album. I hadn’t heard Carole King before, but knew some of the hits from the album - but the overall album was great!

good

I went into this album thinking it was going to be Carly Simon, but I was mistaken. Enjoyed this though.

Man, the opening track of this album brought be straight back to road trips in the way way back of a 1971 Volvo wagon. But as the hits faded into the deeper cuts of the album, it was just a solid blues rock album front to back. Some tracks reminded me of Janis Joplin in their sincerity of delivery (Way Over Yonder). I couldn't help shake my "this is cheese" bias (Will You Love Me Tomorrow), but I'm liking this way more than I anticipated.

Beautiful voice, so talented and musical. A breath of fresh air amidst the overriding male BO of most albums on this list. Having said that, I wouldn’t listen again, as it’s not quite my style. But a 4 at least.

Gotta love her. Nostalgic. I like Joni better but this was a great album.

Not my thing

what a beautiful album !! in love in love in love !!! "it's too late" is a gem !

Not sure why I like this so much. Found out my mom listened to this record so much that she actually destroyed it. Perhaps it is generational.

Quaint little album, production didn't sound crazy which led to its simplicity, no complaints on this album. I'd give a 3.5 if possible, will round to 4 since it was a nice listen.

Great songs, ok voice.

Carole King, the OG singer/songwriter’s masterpiece. Soft, intimate Tapestry is somehow full of bangers, the opener I Feel the Earth Move, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, the list goes on. These are some of the most famous songs of all time. Replace the piano with guitar and it would be near the top of my list 8.0/10

Sounds really nice and was well paced between soft ballads and catchy songs

Höjdpunkterna(”It’s Too Late”, ”Where You Lead”(!!!), ”Way Over Yonder”, ”A Natural Woman”) är så utomordentligt starka att man lätt glömmer hur en del av låtarna är något torra och lite mycket prototyppoppianoballadesque-iga. Får inget grepp om rösten; mestadels nöjd med den men stundtals tråkig. Vad sjukt att hon följde upp detta album med ”Främling” och ”Fångad av en stormvind”? Omslaget får 5/5 stjärnor på feet finder.

Imagine being a) a tabby named Telemachus, and b) being privy to this masterwork coming together

I Feel the Earth Move So Far Away (with James Taylor on guitar) It's Too Late You've Got a Friend (recorded and released that same year by James Taylor) Will You Love Me Tomorrow? (originally released by The Shirelles in 1960) (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (music by Carole King, lyrics by Jerry Wexler, originally recorded by Aretha Franklin in 1967) I really like her piano playing style.

I’d heard of her name but didn’t realise she’d written so much!

I didn’t realize she sang some of these classics.

Wow surprise winner. So many classic songs!

Didn’t realise the classic songs from this album. Adding to iPod as a chilled album to kick back and listen to on a Sunday afternoon

A perfect album for a rainy Sunday afternoon

Great album, but for some reason I’m just not into Carole King. It’s my loss, really. I did enjoy almost everything on this, not a fan of Tapestry, but everything else was really good. It’s just not my thing.

Lovely

beautiful

This was really good and enjoyed this a lot. A lot of great songs here that I added to my playlist. Great vocals and instrumentals. I will definitely return to this.

An album that you know before you’ve even listened to it. Classic, classic, classic, her songwriting is up there with the very best. The first half is impeccable but I found the second half just ‘great’ and it didn’t quite move my heart to a 5, even if my head was almost convinced after one listen. Home Again is perhaps a little lesser known among the many-times-covered hits here but it’s an absolutely wonderful song that I listened to over and over again.

Bardzo fajny, złożony album, sięgający po wiele stylów muzycznych - dla mnie jest przede wszystkim bardzo bluesowy, ale w pozytywnej odsłonie tego gatunku. Do tego dochodzą elementy popu, soft rocka, ma trochę soulowego zacięcia momentami dla mnie. Fortepian robi świetną robotę przez cały album, wszystkie te utwory można wykonywać tylko przy pomocy tego jednego instrumentu i wokalu. Carole King ma bardzo przyjemny głos, jest w nim sporo głębi. Brzmi jednocześnie retro (kojarzy mi się z latami 50-60) i nowocześnie. Jest sporo utworów, do których bardzo chętnie wrócę ("I Feel The Earth Move", "It's Too Late", "Home Again", "You've Got a Friend", "A Natural Woman"), a i reszty chętnie posłucham przy okazji. Będę wracał.

Hell yeah this album was really good. Carole King has a lovely voice, and I dig the instrumentation a lot. An 8 or 9

niceeee

Old classics, pretty good

#476. There's some pretty good stuff going on over here. 4/5: good, good. Song added to playlist: I Feel the Earth Move I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book. This list can be found here if you are interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MAXDGLWlwLkFLb8veGfkA?si=FqkQQPgZTFWG0jAUJXLFZA&utm_source=copy-link

One banger after another, with a couple weak ones in the last third of the album. King has a way of putting words with music that makes the song flow as naturally feelings and words do inside your own head.

Un peu de folk, un peu de soul, une dose de RnB, ça s'écoute tout seul, ça fait du bien où ça passe.

An album full of instantly recognizable, comforting tracks. Minus one star because I was missing an element of surprise.

4.5

Just a lovely album

Very well produced and performed singer songwriter fare.

Hits, soft love

some good stuff, hearty. great songwriting

Epitome of a singer-songwriter

This is not my thing, but you can't deny this is greatness.

It's not exactly my jam, but what an iconic collection of classic songs.

an album full of iconic hits, especially for the girls. 💖

I Feel the Earth Move is just a wonderful opener. I don't feel like the rest of the album quite live up to that first song, although I did enjoy Tapestry quite a bit. Overall still a great listening experience.

Absolutely incredible from start to finish.

Pop type shit loved the production and got me kinda inspired unexpectedly

There’s something about this album that feels so timeless. It has a sound/vibe that feels like it could’ve been from 5-10 years ago. I expected it to be front loaded just because of how strong those first three songs were but even the back half has you’ve got a friend, where you lead, and you make me feel. Interesting to learn about you make me feel like, I didn’t know she originally helped write this song for Aretha. Obviously her voice isn’t as strong as hers but I think she does an awesome job in making it her own. Loved having this album on a Friday where I could actually listen to it twice this weekend. (Also I always get Carole King/Carly Simon mixed up. If I’ve told you that Carole king was married to James Taylor then I apologize ((it’s Carly Simon)) cuz I know I’ve told people that before. But it makes sense why I was confused cuz Carole and James were good friends and he actually plays guitar and background vocals on this album and obvs covers you’ve got a friend later this year)

I like

A pretty fantastic set of songs He only thing you could hold against it is a lack of variety but that’s a small complaint

Easy to listen mix of songwritting depth and fun

This album is truly like a warm hug. Each song is inviting, pleasant, and easy to listen to, while still maintaining lovely, rich vocals and captivatingly poetic lyrics. In terms of vocals, Carole King doesn't show particularly outstanding vocal range or vocal power, but it doesn't matter. She has an ease and a comfort about her voice that is more than enough to evoke the emotions of the songs; she knows her material and she knows how to convey it with emotion. Speaking of the "material" of this album, King's songwriting really is noteworthy here. She is great at painting vocal pictures in a very down-to-earth but meaningful way. A few of these songs were made much more popular by other artists who saw something worth singing about in these songs. That said, King holds her own on these tracks popularized by other artists; songs like "You've Got A Friend", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" still have their own subtle brilliance that only Carole King can bring to them. Last, the piano work on this album is worth mentioning. Of all the instrumentation, it is what shines through the most. The piano perfectly complements King's vocals; it's a lovely standout. Simply put, this album is just gently captivating. Definitely a worthy addition!

Really good music, just one or two songs that didnt do it for me.

This album just keeps producing hit after hit. Jam packed soulful pop album that would be welcome in any persons record collection. An album I certainly would not mind owning. Very close to 5 stars

Drum roll. First female artist since Fiona Apple 20 albums ago [suggestive pause here]. I know this! Quite some of it. Makes me want to order Cheers: the Complete Series or something, brew a tea, roll a joint and watch that. Nice and cozy.

classic songs

Good

Very good

Not my style but she's a legend. One of the few artists I can remember hearing over my parents' car radios back in the 70s.

Dit is zo’n album zonder echt hitjes (behalve het laatste nummer, maar dat is een cover), maar verdomd goed is als je het allemaal achter elkaar luistert

An incredibly consistent compendium of King’s songwriting and probably the epitome of the ‘fun’ singer-songwriter genre. Relatively simple yet always compelling in its lyricism, Tapestry mixes the tremendously boppy with songs like I Feel the Earth Move and Smackwater Jack and the classic, effective ballads such as You’ve Got a Friend. It’s a feat in itself to have an album that can stand out in the blockbuster year for popular music that was 1971 - and this deserves its place among the classics.

Not my music and it was a bit too slow at times but it kept me interested throughout and the quality is undeniable

Beautiful ballads full of love and feeling. An almost gospel vibe in some parts. I can just see all the middle aged white ladies lettin loose to this while working around the house, and you know what I’m right their with them

this is why i am doing this project, to finally get a chance to listen to these old iconic albums that everyone else seems to know. i really enjoyed this! i’ve obviously heard of carole king before and i knew a few songs from this album, especially ‘where you lead’ from gilmore girls. a really lovely album all around full of hits and beautiful songs.

This is true easy listening but not in a bad way”doctors office” way. The lyrics, voice and melodies mix together for a pleasant and easy and enjoyable experience.

Det här var en kul överraskning. Tycker det är riktigt jäkla bra från första låt och hela vägen i mål. Stark fyra!

Impeccable songwriting 👌👌

Like Grace, I had some difficulty getting my bearings. 2 1/2 times through, though, and Tapestry has landed.

I didn't realize how many songs I knew on this album. It really is an amazing and classic album!

I think this album has the best joint approval ratings from Boomer Moms and Dads. This was also one of the first piano books I ever had--Carole King is a badass...she plays really meaty chords and on most of her songs (e.g. I Feel The Earth) she's right there with the drums on driving the song. When she's in the groove her voice sounds all over the place in a great way and she finds the balance between sweetness and a good pop song. Deducting points for two songs: 1. Tapestry--despite being the name of the album this song is sacchrine and the bad version of singer-songerwriters in the 70s. It makes me feel like I'm at a Broadway show that I wanted to be over 20 minutes ago. 2. Smackwater Jack--this feels like a bad Jim Croce song

I knew the record but i was not aware of the song writting achievement. I did NOT know she wrote You've Got a Friend, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and Will You Love Me Tomorrow. I also had not heard this soulful side of her. Very torn on a rating. For my personal taste i want to give it a 3, but for what she accomplished it is definitely deserving of a 4 or 5. Gonna flip a coin....heads, 4 stars.

Super Album, wusste nicht, dass so viele bekannte Stücke von ihr sind - 5

Okay well I had no clue that she practically carried the 70’s with just this one album, I didn’t know that most of these songs were her, this album is awesome, only one or two songs on here that didn’t do it for me, the rest is awesome!

Loved loved loved this album, like a warm hug

Already knew “Its Too Late,” and all other songs are pretty much in the same vein. Very good album! Not necessarily something Id say Im in love with but I definitely appreciate it and I feel like its good background music. “So Far Away” is a top track.

I can see why it's a classic!

Another one that I’ve never heard of yet know all the songs! A real classic.

So many great songs on this album... had no idea Carole King composed so many well known tunes. Not sure if I would listen to the whole album again but "Where you Lead", "Natural "Woman" and "Will you love me Tomorrow?" will definitely be listened to for years to come.

Gilmore Girls✨✨✨

I weirdly knew several songs from this album w/o knowing the album or the artist. My wife's a fan too, w/o knowing her. This is a 3.5 for me, it was a nice find and i enjoyed it =)

oh man i'm so far behind oh fuck. this is a classic, although idk if it all sunk in on first listen... expected to like it a bit more...

Not my typical thing but I dig it. Her voice is great and the instrumentation compliments it perfectly. Very wholesome and welcoming.

Very very good

Is nice.

Great album. Great voice. This is a perfect example of the kind of music that was written in the days of my youth. I have no problem listening to this one over and over again.

-I had seen this album cover circulating for a while but had never actually listened to it or anything by Carole King, so had no idea what to expect. It’s absolutely lovely though. Her voice is really good and i like the range of style and structure, it kept it from feeling boring or slogging together -Favorites are I Feel The Earth Move, So Far Away, and Way Over Yonder

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. Some great songs, although I prefer covers of many of them to her originals. Just about squeezes into ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to this album completely before, just heard the classics. And they are classics. Perfect album for listening to while chilling out in the bath.

This was a beautiful album to listen to and a reminder that music can be simple and still be amazing.

Easy listening and very soulful

carole king gets me in the nostalgia every time

I’d heard of this album being spoken about in hushed tones, easy to understand why after listening, songwriting is amazing and was surprised to discover she is the writer of some incredible songs indeed, a few I knew well, listened to this more than once and more than quite a lot of the others so far

Unbelievable! So many classics in one album. Had a lovely time listening. Incredible lyrics

compared to some of the other shit that passes for art on this list i’m inclined to give it a 5 but on the other hand it’s still not really my kind of thing so i’m only giving it a 4

Great songs. Remember many from my childhood.

Il y a des noms qui claquent dans l'histoire de la pop, des noms de faiseurs de rois, de machines à tubes. Dans les années 60, le Brill Building à New York, c'était l'usine, et dans cette usine, il y avait une artisane de génie, une orfèvre de la mélodie parfaite : Carole King. Son nom, le grand public ne le connaissait pas, mais ses chansons, tout le monde les avait sur les lèvres. "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" pour les Shirelles, "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" pour la reine Aretha Franklin, "The Loco-Motion" pour sa baby-sitter Little Eva... La liste est longue comme un jour sans pain car Carole King était la BO de l'Amérique, mais personne ne connaissait son visage. Et puis en 1971, après un premier album solo passé relativement inaperçu, elle sort "Tapestry". Et le monde de la musique bascule car "Tapestry" est une révolution douce, un acte d'émancipation. La compositrice sort de sa cuisine pour s'asseoir au piano, en pleine lumière, et dire : "Ces chansons, maintenant, c'est moi qui les chante". "Tapestry" est un album qui vous enveloppe comme une couverture chaude un soir d'hiver. À une époque où le rock devenait de plus en plus mâle, de plus en plus électrique et boursouflé avec Led Zep ou Black Sabbath, Carole King a fait tout le contraire. Elle a créé un espace d'intimité. Le son est feutré, chaleureux, organique et la production est d'une sobriété exemplaire : au centre, il y a ce piano, son piano, qui n'est pas un instrument de virtuosité mais le prolongement de ses mains et de son coeur. Autour, une basse qui ronronne (parfois tenue par elle-même), une batterie discrète, quelques guitares acoustiques (merci James Taylor et Joni Mitchell, venus en voisins). Et puis, il y a la voix, et là, il faut qu'on s'arrête deux minutes. La voix de Carole King n'est pas parfaite au sens technique. Elle n'a pas les octaves de Mariah Carey ou la puissance de Whitney Houston. C'est une voix vraie, une voix qui a vécu. Elle est légèrement éraillée, elle a des fêlures, elle n'essaie jamais d'impressionner. Elle raconte, elle confie. Quand elle chante "So Far Away", on ressent la solitude et la mélancolie sans aucun artifice. C'est de l'émotion pure, sans filtre, sans Auto-Tune, sans les 50 producteurs qui viennent polir le moindre défaut aujourd'hui. C'est l'antithèse absolue de ces "chanteuses kleenex" que l'industrie nous fabrique à la chaîne depuis 30 ans. Elle ne chante pas pour un public, elle chante pour vous. Et les chansons... c'est un "greatest hits" à lui tout seul. "I Feel the Earth Move", "It's Too Late", "You've Got a Friend". Ces morceaux ne sont pas juste des tubes, ce sont des standards, des pièces du grand répertoire américain qui semblent avoir existé depuis toujours. Ce sont des chansons universelles, qui parlent d'amour, d'amitié, de rupture avec une simplicité et une honnêteté désarmantes. Quand je tenais le magasin de disques, "Tapestry" était un pilier qui ne se démodait jamais. Les modes passaient et "Tapestry" continuait de se vendre. C'était le disque réconfortant par excellence, celui que les gens achetaient après une rupture, celui qu'ils offraient à leur mère, celui qu'ils mettaient le dimanche matin en lisant le journal. C'est plus qu'un album, c'est un compagnon de vie. Alors, pourquoi un 4/5 et pas la note parfaite ? Si je devais jouer l'avocat du diable, le critique acerbe que je suis parfois, je dirais que la perfection de "Tapestry" est aussi sa limite. C'est un disque qui vous prend dans ses bras, il ne vous secoue pas, il n'y a pas de danger, pas de côté obscur, pas de véritable folie. C'est le son de la maturité, de la bienveillance et pour le mec qui a grandi avec la tension de The Velvet Underground ou la noirceur de Nick Cave, ça peut manquer un peu de piment qui fait les chefs-d'oeuvre torturés. Mais ce serait passer à côté de l'essentiel, "Tapestry" n'est pas un disque de combat, c'est un disque de réconfort. Et en tant que tel, il est absolument parfait, c'est un joyau de l'artisanat pop, une leçon d'écriture et d'interprétation. Un classique indémodable qui a prouvé au monde entier que la plus grande force, en musique, c'est souvent la sincérité.

Sounds old timey. I was surprised to read that she is the most successful female songwriter of the 20th century, because this is good, but I didn’t think it was that good. Low 4.

7/10 - Her voice is amazing and a lot of the piano and other background was pretty good. The only time I had heard of Carole King was because she had a musical called Beautiful I think. That song was not especially amazing but, overall pretty good album.

Smooth, classic album packed with songs that you just kinda know. Easy 5, except...well, I like a lot of the covers more than the originals. This isn't exactly where I spend my time. Sorry, Carole.

Great album all the way through. Beautiful voice and lyrics. Loved all the piano.

expectedly extremely nice, unexpectedly full of little pockets of sadness that u can trip over easily if ur not careful. rolling this version of make me feel like a natural woman so close to aretha's rly drives this home...king's voice is sturdy but slightly pained, and it lends a bittersweet quality to a lot of the songs that makes them feel like there are details of the surrounding story and circumstance ur missing. lots to chew on whenever i come back to this

Wow what an album 🤩 It starts off with three incredible songs. I Feel The Earth Move is an absolute blast to sing along to in the car 😂 And So Far Away and It’s Too Late are heartbreakers for me, but in the best way. I discovered Carole King when I was a teenager and I always liked her, and not just because she had a mop of unruly curly hair like I did. She’s a great songwriter with a powerful voice.

Solid record displaying Carole’s great songwriting skills. My only real qualms with it are her versions of Will You Love Me Tomorrow? and Natural Woman - which, pardon the pun feel uninspired.

Pretty chill alt old school tunes. Nice singing. Way Over Yonder is nice and has a sax solo. You've Got a Friend is also relaxing. A cover of (You make me feel) A Natural Woman is also here.

nice chill album, some classics in there

Another album I really liked. The first few songs were the best. "Tapestry" has aged incredibly well over 53 years. Way better than "H.M.S Fable" by Shack. I reviewed that album a few days ago. 4 stars for "Tapestry".

Not my style, but definitely a classic.

This is a great album filled with classics we all know without realizing we know cause they’re just in our fabric as a culture. I liked this better than Joni Mitchell’s Blue which gets so much love. My silly opinion 4 stars

Great voice and great songs. They do start to all sound the same after a while, but I still enjoyed the album. Mid 4.

Think this just misses out on a 5 for me - the songwriting is great, but the arrangements are a bit too one-paced and her voice isn't quite strong enough to really wow me. There's not a bad song on the album, and there are plenty of really good ones, but I think it's telling that the best known songs on this album are all better known when delivered by someone else. A high 4 - easy 5 for the songwriting, just slightly let down by some of the arrangements and her voice being a 9 rather than a 10/10. 4/5.

Ég þekkti fullt af lögum og þvílíkar neglur sem þær voru. Mér fannst þetta bara virkilega góð plata sem ég mun setja oft í spilun aftur. Ég hafði aldrei hlustað á plötuna áður en ég hafði samt heyrt af henni svo hún hefur líka verið negla þegar hún kom út

masterful 4.5-5/5.

A powerful voice and some great songwriting. Carole King really shows her talent as a singer/songwriter on this album. Not really my favorite genre, but I absolutely respect and can appreciate the art.

All hits.

This was an album. Thoroughly enjoyed

i like the cat on the cover a lot

Super good

It is interesting how much I find that other people made a more definitive version of a song written by Carole King. At the same time, I love listening to multiple versions of the same song performed by different artists. Part of the beauty of the art is creating something that can be interpreted by others in their own ways.

Great tunes

Makes fun listening to. Somehow reminds me of Janis Joplin but relaxed.

I love Carole King. Great album.

favourited: beautiful, you’ve got a friend

a little sparse for my taste, but cohesive, cozy, easy, and absolutely the blueprint record for this sort of thing. 3.5/5

Amazing number of classic songs in here - I knew Carole King was one of the greatest and she’s so prolific that she wrote some of the most famous standards out there - but finding them on this record together - and then discovering that of the best selling records ever… stands to learn that even after so many years and so much music - there will always be gaps. It’s lovely.

Really nice album with some really good songs on it. 7/10

Absolutely lovely and really catchy. A lot of bangers too, just solid all around.

Yup. This is a banger.

Really reminds me of Janes Joplin, but a bit more pop style.

Favorite Track: A Natural Woman

Ok tier

Great album. Very floaty, lovely vibes. Very good listen and brought up some good and bad memories. But in a good way. First time listening to Carole King and she’s awesome.

Chill and very pleasing to listen to on an Autumn day

Solid album. I liked 4 tracks, the popular ones: I Feel the Earth Move, It's Too Late, You've Got a Friend, You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman. But the whole album was a good listen.

One of those albums where every other song was part of the background soundtrack to my childhood.

I never appreciated King’s music at the time it was released but I confess that I knew almost every song and found myself drawn in to her voice.

Is it really a cover if you're the songwriter?

I was expecting to be bored from a pop album like this, but a couple songs ended up really sticking with me.

Carole King is amazing, and I love her stuff. I'd heard most of this album before, and most of the tracks that I know well we spot on perfect and enjoyable to listen to. A couple of them (eg. Will You Love Me Tomorrow) were kinda mediocre, with the Will You just being too slow to really get into, but I still appreciate them for what they are, and the gifted songwriter that Carole is. Four stars.

carole cha meega singe und lieder schribe, da album hani mol vor paar johr scho glost, aber weiss nüm viel. i feel the earth move isch en seehr guete istiig, sie spielt super klavier und de song stimmt mega. so far away isch meega schön, de bass isch huere cool und melodiös, sie singt hammer. und mega eige. it's too late hani s gfühl magi mi dra erinnere. mag s pianoriff. und ich nimm ihre jedes wort ab bi allne songs bis etz. home again au meega nice. beautiful isch glaub domols nonig en uglutschte songtitel, und de song isch etz recht speziell. sie cha wüürkli songs schribe. way over yonder het es suuper saxophon solo. meega schöne song. youve got a friend isch meega. d bridge isch haammer. und würkli de bassman tschuttet. sie heten au ghürote. where you lead isch denn wieder standard poppige soul mässig. upbeat guet. will you love me tomorrow foht au wieder ah als möstis eigentlich kenne, ich glaub sie cha da afoch. herzzerrissende song. smackwater jack isch chli swampier magi. aso s tönt chli noch de swanpers. you make me feel isch soooo en guete so g find de lupfts gad nomel soooo guet.

This was Beautiful. Like I was Home Again.

Carole ate on dis 1

Ännu en klassiker. Ägt skivan en gång i tiden med då gillade jag inte den.

I remember this record seemingly always being on. In the car, at my grandparents house, on tv, etc. I’ll be generous for the nostalgia factor. 4 stars.

Уютный хиповский соул. Добрей и чище Джоплин

Solid singer-songwriter work by Carole. Very pleasant to listen to with great melodies but there are songs that just pass me by even if there's nothing bad. The excitement level isn't strong the whole way through. Maybe needs a bit more uptempo material that was more in the first side. Highlights: "So Far Away", "It's Too Late" & "Tapestry". 4 stars.

This holds up shockingly well for something from 1971. There's a bunch of stuff on this list where my general takeaway is "I get how this was a stepping stone in the evolution of this genre of music, but it's hard to appreciate it in the current day." I don't love this album given all the artists I've listened to that came after Carole King, but it also was not a struggle to get through. It's cheesy in parts, and sounds a bit dated, but a decent listen for chill music. 3.5

I cannot disrespect all of the bangers on this album with a lower score, even though I don't personally want to hear them again

Not a kind of music I listen to regularly (too much piano) but virtually every song a classic.

Carole King's 'Tapestry' is one of those odd albums where I've seen the album cover and name everywhere, yet I seldom hear anyone actually rave about it today (especially younger music enthusiasts). I assume she's more renowned for her songwriting chops as it takes very little research to find out that she was writing many songs for her contemporaries. Overall, the album's pretty damn good if a bit unadventurous at times. Still, you got a song like 'It's Too Late' that's a damn near flawless pop tune. The song 'Beautiful' is a perfect example of a motivational little happy-tune - its messaging puts a smile on my face. I feel similarly about 'Where You Lead' which might have my favorite production on here. Vocally, Carole primarily draws from the worlds of soul and RnB and it works relatively well, especially on the closing cover of 'You Make Me Feel'. Solid, easy-listening stuff that definitely holds up after all these years. I'd even argue that some musical aspects of this record were well ahead of their time.

opening song, makes you want playing behind you at this part of the movie of your life. Sax solo in way over yonder?! Good catchy songs, impactful lyrics, but I’m not sure it ‘advances the genre’. They are bops and I’ll listen again, and having heard the whole album a lot of them are on movie sound tracks so that untie thought was apparently shared by many 4/5

got some nice tunes flowing

A lovely singer and great tunes but you'd wish the mixing would've been better

One of my favourite albums of all time

Great album with many hit songs

Not something I would regularly listen to, but have to give appropriate respect to one of the defining albums and artists of the early 70s.

Iconic pop record from one of Brill Building’s finest.

Great album. 4.5/5

Starts off a bit boring, but get really good towards the end

Light, cosy 4 stars. Full to the rafters with lovely piano pop ballads but feels a bit plain after a while over the course of the album. I Feel The Earth Move and It’s Too Late firm favourites and definitive versions but a lot of these other classics that she originally wrote I tend to prefer by other artists. Smackwater Jack the one track I would cut back.

Tough to argue with. It only means so much to me, but it’s excellent. 4/5

Hits: I feel the earth move, Natural Woman, Will you love me tomorrow 4/5

Tapestry is pretty good, and I very much loved the title track, but I unfortunately didn't care quite as much for the rest of the album. "It's Too Late" would be my second favorite.

Just a good album. For me many songs are boring

Als ich das Album zum ersten Mal hörte, war ich sofort von der kraftvollen und emotionalen Stimme der Sängerin angetan. Vier Songs stachen besonders hervor , “I Feel the Earth Move”, “So Far Away”, “It’s Too Late” und das absolute Highlight “You’ve Got a Friend”. Dies ist zweifellos das Juwel des Albums. Dieses Lied strahlt eine Wärme und Geborgenheit aus, die man selten in Musik findet. Es ist ein Lied über Freundschaft und Unterstützung, das einem das Herz öffnet und Trost spendet. Tapestry ist ein Album, das durch seine Ehrlichkeit und emotionale Tiefe besticht. Carole Kings Stimme und ihre Fähigkeit, Geschichten zu erzählen, machen dieses Album zu einem zeitlosen Klassiker den man immer wieder gerne hören kann.

So beautiful, especially the song by that name. Also has the Gilmore girls song, what a tune.
