搖滾樂名人堂歌星Carole King最近在臉書公開了他改寫部分歌詞的經典歌曲"So Far Away"。
在這個video裡，King將第一行歌詞"So far away/Doesn't anybody
stay in one place any more?"改為"So far away/everyone
has to stay in one place"，來述說一些人在這段時間只能停留在一個地點。
這一首歌的其它部分歌詞沒有改，改寫過的這首歌很確切且適合描述全世界那些被隔離和經驗焦慮時刻那些人的心情。
"Long ago I reached for you and there
you stood/Holding you again could only do me good/Oh how I wish I could but
you're so far away"，Carole King低聲吟唱這首帶一點憂鬱的歌。
此外為撫慰歌迷，她也希望大家都平安，也能少出門，而且盡一己之力幫這個傳染病帶來的危機早日離去，越快越好。

So Far Away
Words and Music by Carole King
So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place
anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at
my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time
away
Long ago I reached for you and there you
stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could
But you're so far away
One more song about moving along the
highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my
way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place
anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at
my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and
lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own
me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place
anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at
my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
