Chorus:
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh no no no no (no no, no no)

This was "Album of the Year" when I graduated High School in 1971. I'll be 70 before I know it, yet this song STILL takes me back to a very bittersweet time in my life! An incredibly special "Best Friend' (whom I'm still "Best Friends" with to this day, albeit separated by 3000+ miles), cruising in my '71 Mazda RX-2 and paying just 25 cent a gallon for gas, a girl I was MADLY in love with, (who died all too young from a brain tumor), all the while living in a very tumultuous and emotionally destructive home environment that was 'fueled' nightly by all too much alcohol. To quote from Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities", "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." Memories that cause me to smile through my tears.....
That is an awesome, AND sad tale about the girl. Now... tell us an upbeat story, about the woman who gave you 5 kids, and how you wouldn't change that outcome - even if you could go back in time and prevent the death of a girl you once had feelings for.
I had many girlfriends since I was a kid, and I loved everyone of them (even though moving every few years, because my dad was in the Navy... took me away from them). I wish I could get in touch with every one of them, just to see how they're doing today, but I only remember their first names... so it isn't really possible (we'd also be in our 50's, now... who knows if all of them are still around?!).
May is Brain Tumor Awareness month 🤍 Sorry to hear about your girlfriend and your home situation.
DadBradTo5 Go Class of ‘71 what memories !what a year !
@@googleaccount1860 Wow! How 'prophetic' as I did marry an incredibly GREAT gal who has given me 5 wonderful kids, + 2 'Bonus Kids' that she was raising on her own when we met. I would have changed 1 thing about that though, in that I wished we'd met 10 years earlier, so that I could have hopefully averted the damage caused to her 2 kids (NOT her fault) by not having a dad around . Thanks for the reminder to be THANKFUL for what I HAVE been blessed with!!
I wish I was a teenager in the 60s-70s...I am in this era
I'm a 47 year old construction worker and I heard this song for the first time two years ago and I cried. I was alone in my truck, driving to work, so I had time to dry my eyes by the time I got there and told everyone that I was doing great, even though this song tore into my emotions!
Beautiful, love what you wrote , & publicizing it - takes some guts. ❤️ I haven't been able to get this song out of my head this past wk, (my not so subconscious at work, no dout), so just listened to it here for 1st time in 20+ yrs. I can't think of a song w/a higher emotional impact that nails the sorrow & loss of falling out of love more poignantly.
Me too
This song just came up this week
How interesting
❤️ hugs
I'm 60 been loving this song since I was a little girl thanks to my older sister this woman is fantastic Taylor Swift who?????
I believe in you brother!
Only people who truly were in love and lost it can truly appreciate this song
Never a truer statement expressed ❤
@@user-bk7ld2tm3dHence the clichéd 'It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'.
Such bitter sweetness.
Absolutely
You may enjoy it having had never experienced love even, but not in the same way like you said.
This is simply the most emotionally intelligent break up song ever written.
I want an emotionally intelligent playlist. Maybe Long Long Long can go on the breakup version too?
Yes u right i just love this song it was for my ex wife
This song makes me nostalgic and sad.. it’s a beautiful song

In August 1971 when I was leaving for Vietnam, I was 18 years old, as we pulled away from the pier in San Diego, I could hear somewhere on the pier, "It's too Late." Slowly we were gone from sight, lives changed forever from war.
Canchola First time i.
Feels like touching history to read your comment Richmond, thank you. Love and peace from Scotland x
Thanks for the sacrifices. Glad you got home safe
Thank you for your service & sacrifice.
I stopped breathing and every hair on my arms, legs and back of my neck stood.
I was four years old. Have read about that time & the aftermath for those who served.
I might be over the pond in England, but to title another of the amazing Carole King's songs from 'that' album, 'You Got a Friend' - David.
I'm 74 years old and still love hearing her sing reminds me of love
This is the saddest realest song that I've ever heard. Almost everybody has gone through this and it hits the heart hard.
Another song that I could relate to in that sense would be the song "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian. The lyrics to that song basically just has Janis pouring out her emotions of never being accepted by the popular crowd when she was in high school.
~Dutch
@TonyTee79 Amazing song.
Going through it now.. sad.
YUP!
Word
10 seconds into this and I'm convinced this is some of the best music ever written
Carole King is a prolific songwriter. She spent the 60s writing hits for other performers at the Brill Building.
Amen to that... BTW... I actually KNEW Diane Warren in school.. still like Carole the best. 🙂
your a fool
💕🎶
It is..
The music industry just doesn't make musicians like this anymore.
Thanks for everything, Carole King.
THEY NEVER DID.
They don't accept artists like this anymore. Ms. King definitely made made herself
🤣🤣🤣
THE ASSHOLES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY NEVER DID MAKE MUSICIANS LIKE CAROLE,...HER VOICE IS STRICTLY "GOD GIVEN" PERIOD.
Yes you are correct. To my knowledge Carol, Joni Mitchell and the other women songwriter singers of that era never ever wore revealing clothing, had dancers behind them and pyrotechnics on the stage when they performed.
They just walked to center stage and performed. A lovely and grand time to be young and alive.
Im a black guy who loves rap but this is my secret pleasure
Soo much love!!
isleys covered "brother, brother" written by her too
No shame ... that's awesome !
amber..baby
Token_Black aint nonthing wrong with that
This song remains me off my husband when we got divorce in the late 70 i use to hear it all the time. We were divorced for a couple off years but by the Garcia off God. God bought us back together and we got remarried again we were married for 54 years. Iam 82 years old now and my beloved husband has gone to be with our havenly father. And today one off son's came up the stairs and he was hearing music on he's phone and they were playing that song. I hadn't heard it for a long time and it bought tears to my eyes.
Nice story
I'm so glad you guys got back together and were able to make it work. God bless 💗
Lovely Memories
Love, Real Love escaped Pandora's box too . Along with hope.
❤❤❤❤❤
In 1971, in L.A. at 18 years old, and enjoying this tune before departing for Southeast Asia. Now at 71, Carole King's song still one of the best sentimental songs that reminds me of love lost.
If you are ever asked 'what is a classic' the answer is simple: A song released 47 years ago which is as fresh today as it was then.
Alexis Mandrake man, you can say that... I actually believed it was from 2015 or some...
47 goddamn years ago
An entire album filled with classics.
Exactly !!
it sounds like modern indie i thought it was recent!
Thanks Mom. I'm 60 now... you're gone..... but you turned me on to some GREAT music!!!
Yep time goes on ;it dont care who, or what we are or say about it. What does it all mean? I am not sure, when we go who knows what or when we were, or are about?
That just made me cry. I am going to be 62 soon and I hope that my taste in music music (including this song) rubbed off on my kids. I know they both have such eclectic tastes.
Same age. LOVE this music
@@shereefanestiel6850 my dad's music definitely rubbed off on me! today's my 19th birthday but my favorite band is heart and i've seen them twice. absolutely amazing, and rush, i've seen them 8 times and caught alex's guitar pick in front row. among 40+ other concerts i've seen, the rush moment was probably the happiest moment of my life, and i realized that music is such a big part of my life and im so grateful that my dad took me to my first show when i was 8
Yes, it's great music :)
I was just introduced to Carole King. Omg what a voice. What a musician. What a talent!
Got to see her perform in the 80s...great performance
She also wrote hit songs for others, including the Monkees.
She is one of the best 🥰
👏👏I'm so happy you have come to hear her. I used to play Tapestry over and over.xx
OMG I am so much impressed to see this lovely comment of yours, where are you texting from?
This is what I listen to when the homies are not around.
Music has no color....I'm sure if your homeboyz listen to some of this music they'll like it ....my brother is a cholo de antes now a veterano and he listens to a variety of musica ...
My uncle is a Herrera... and I bet I could get him to jam this in the car 😂
@@judyalcatraz918 homies are no colors im 41 Caucasian as one can get. Yet my friend's are the homies we talk like that keep us young
Same 😁😂🤣 I'm 41 grew up in this music due to my mom being only 20 years older then me
Well as a black woman just a bit seasoned, I love this cut.
No one should feel awkward about enjoying this music. It expresses emotions we all have.
For sure Mary. I heard this song when I lived in Berkeley Ca at the Family house on Addison... I went to buy the album at Tower Records.
We don't have this kind of songs today, but we still have the feelings, so these songs are still very relatable .
My mum still has this record🥰 I remember she used to play it. I typed the title of this song, not because of knowing the song, but coz my own shit, and i knew the sleve, the picture, so was like "hey i know that picture" and yeah, says much. Anyone who's ashamed to like stuff, fuck people like that, weak
Mary, I agree so much. When I first heard this back in 71 I was just a kid but Carol's voice along with the music and words touched me greatly.
I am so glad that people feel the same way that I do. Despite being much older at this time, some feelings never change 💗
I'm 76, a lifetime rock 'n' roll fan, and always thought this was one of the most beautiful and poignant songs I ever heard.
Definitely!
All her stuff so good😊
Carole King🎉❤
In 1971 at age 21 I heard this song for the first time and I was a Carole King fan for life. I'm 74 now.
In 1971, I was a 7 year old kid listening to my mom playing this album. This song and the other one , "I feel the earth move under my feet, I feel the sky tumbling down, I feel my heart start to trembling, whenever you're around...." lol
This song played in my head for years. It’s amazing what the old songs can do for the soul.
This song is absolutely beautiful... Definitely great for the soul!
I agree with you!
So true.Still stands the test..
Love my house music and Brit indie but Tapestry album is always there.
Tapestry, listen to the whole album.
Who else can compare?
Another spirit in the world so then in the musics
April, 2021. It's been officially 50 years since this song got released as a single and it still hasn't lost it's classic sound. Happy 50th anniversary to her It's Too Late song!
You are so Wright a true classic it just gets better with time have loved this for ever.
Where has all these years gone i was 16 years old went it was released and i still love this song
It's also been 50 years since I was 10. It's ok. It always was and always will be. Just love, and be loved. That's all there is!!
👍
One of my happiest memories, my dad, singing along, key perfect. Brought years to my eyes
I bought this album for my dad a few years ago he said it was one of his favorites, he passed away a week ago. I never cared or listened to it, when he was dying I wanted to play some music he liked, I remembered this and remembered buying it for him. I played it and fell in love with her. I’ve been listening to it ever since.
I’m sorry for your loss
Your dad sound like a cool dude.
What a nice way to honor your dad. So sorry for your loss
❤
Sorry xx play it and have fond memories xx
I'm a white guy and I totally appreciate you as a black guy who appreciates this music ! Just another reason we are brothers!!!!!
I was a student teacher, I sat in my car full of trepidation before I stood in front of the class to teach them English.
This tune played as I summoned the courage to walk into the school.
I am now retired and 68 years of age and recovering from surgery for cancer.
I ended up teaching troubled lads in Liverpool and had the privilege to be best man at the wedding of one of my lads who made a success of his life.
Unfortunately I stood at the graveside of one of my lads who was out of reach and took 8 bullets to the chest.
This tune will always resonate as I embarked on being a part of the best profession on the planet.
I liked the story
Thank you for playing a positive role in this world of ours. Our kids needed and need people like you. Good luck and God bless you in your recovery.
Wow! Some Brits know our music better. I live by Anne Frank's message. In spite of everything I think there is good in everyone......Anne Frank, Amsterdam
@@sherryweeks5956 brilliant, Sherry 👍
Very touching story. After reading your story, I wish you health and happiness for many years to come.🙏❤️
Happy 81st birthday to Carol King.
Been listening to this for 50 years and it still lands. One of THE best songs ever. Carole is a true genius.
Played this song so much when I was going through a divorce 4 years ago. I was so uncertain of my future. Now I’m so proud of how far I’ve come.💜
🙏 amwn
It's funny how music can get us thru the bad times. That's why I'm here today.😢
Our parents were cooler, their music was better, and life was simpler. How can I not be envious?
But your amazing! i wish I WAS AS AWESOME AS YOU!!!!!!! KEEP BEING THE BEST THING EVER!!!
The music was better but was the life really simpler? The human emotions were the same.
@@katarzynams51Only you can answer that for yourself.
I'm from that era....life was simpler and slower...people actually looked into your eyes when they spoke to you 👁🗨
the music was better from Jackson Browne to King Crimson and their shows were cheap. For example I saw Springsteen for $5 in the 70s
Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too?
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby now, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (we can't make it)
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no, no, no, no
It's too late, baby, it's too late now, darling
It's too late
thank you
@@angelinebena9675 youre wellcome
Yesss
Carole King was a great songwriter back in the '60s and 70s and I mean GREAT!
Thanks
Most beautifulest break up song in history
me too
Saw her in Toronto - she came out on the stage with #27 Leafs Sittler the place went wild we loved her!
My girl used to work on the Carol King musical on Broadway. I got her the job and she ran off with my heart. This is life. Crazy twists and turns
Iron Mike
So is Gloria Gaynor's I wil survive!
I have this & other break up type on my iPod touch original. Wonderful.
You can't break up with any better words than this. No hatred involved, no regrets, just part ways
We all have gone through this and made it through right time to move on. 🌹❤️🥰💙😍🤟💛
Remember when music was like this? So utterly beautiful.
I remember it well. We were spoiled with great artists and great music. Now they've got Cardi B, lol
One of my favorites from Carol King
Yes and we understood the word's NO foul language
I LOVED her and the Carpenter's
Myrna Pinkney Briscoe Myrna Pinkney Briscoe Foul language isn’t bad. It’s apart of the younger generation, it’s second hand to us, which is what makes the music now mean so much to us. It speaks to us. Carole King is a rare example where she speaks to everyone, not just those from the 50s, 60s, 70s.
@TheSpock23 Additionally, Cardi B is not bad because she sings dirty songs.
My grandma was friends with her from the ages 11-15. She didn’t even know Carole could sing!
aha sure
@@Lin0815huhi ok then
If that is rather true
thats awesome
@@samnussbaum4321 sure she was
No one lives in a vacuum.
Better times, Better people, better music. And i wasn't even born yet !
I was there neighbor! Very beautiful magical time! Except this song came true in my life !
I remember listening to this song after my grandpa died, I started to mourn in tears. Then I found this song.
Yes. It's true. I keep waiting (at 77) to be proven wrong. Nope. Those were the best years for our music.
You are correct! I was there and those were the best times with the best music! 😊
Correct...because now there's just a bunch of dufus people who just spend all there time watching OTHERS on their phones---and they are dull and moronic cause they don't DO their own thing. Just sit still and WATCH others ALL DAY and are so worried about fitting in or being trendy. so LAME...
Just shut off phone and learn to do your OWN thing and LIVE your OWN lives.
The older I get, the more depth and sadness I realize Carole is portraying in this gorgeous song. I certainly didn't "get it" as a teenager in the early 70's when she released it. Hadn't experienced life yet and the odd mixture of bliss and agony that come through the years that we all end up living....
One important thing to know is Carole King wrote the music to this song but not the lyrics as that lady just passed away yesterday
@@stevehobbs8130 Thanks. Didn't realize that. She did put her "soul" into the delivery of it, though, in my opinion. Something that I feel is woefully lacking in current music.
Just guessing that you tried your best but it wasn't good enough. Welcome to the club. Only thing I can say is, if you tried your best, what more can you do? Just appreciate what you have left. :)
@@LiesDamnLiesandPoliticsThanks. Yep, that was pretty crushing, but a long time ago. Some things you heal from and move on, but you're definitely never quite the same person again. We're actually friends now, believe it or not. Just one of the "shaping" experiences of our lives on Earth, I guess. Anyway, I've got a great one now. Cheers!
You said it.
A word to the wise. Don't wait til it's "too late" to save a love.
When you have done all you can, then you have done all you could do. At least you tried your best.
Unfortunately when you start playing this song it's already too late, Great song great singer puts everything into perspective ❤
@@bettyjones7739 tried and i just can't fake it
@@karlfalckh3498 So you try but you just can't fake it, well you did what you needed to do, no more faking. Yes acknowledging the truth, it's a good thing.
Something about Carole King, Nicholette Larson and Joni Mitchell that has put me in a state of calm and peace since I was a kid. God Bless these three legends.
Carly Simon is another
Maria M midnight at the oasis, R flack Don Hata. Where is the love..... 2 many ... but never forgotten.
Joni Mitchell....The most heaven-like voice ever imho.....But I do like all those you mentioned....
@@toddswartz3510 yes she certainly is in that category.
Couldn't agree any more, born in 61, my older sister and brother had control of our cabinet stereo so I grew up listening to what they listened to....if I could only get those days back
I was a Sophomore in High school The year this song came out. I’d been a long time Motown person. My mother thought it would be a good idea to send me to Summer Camp that year. Like in the movies the camp counselors were few years older .There was this blonde gorgeous young woman there she brought that album to camp and played it . This album and her made me see that it was ok to listen to other types of music. From here I was introduced to Mudslide Slim aka James Taylor Seals and Crofts and later my dream girl Carly Simon. Naturally Rapid Roy the Stock car boy Jim Croce. Bread and others. A kid from the projects of Chicago on the near north side. Never talked to her , smiled from time to time but she was pretty. Forever ago.
👍
Carole king had a beautiful voice as did Carly Simon amongst others like Karen carpenter. Beautiful.
What a great story! Made me smile reading this. Thank you!
@@kevinsibert3160 certainly something we seriously need today in this world of utter madness. A smile, song, artiste that brings a lightening to our souls.
Carole wrote for a lot of Motown stars. Including Aretha Franklin and The Shirelles.
50 years later still one of my favorite albums of all times. The old record from 1971 was worn out and i luckily found a new one without any scratches. This album deserves to be played on vinyl. Carole King, a great songwriter and with that special unique voice makes her music so timeless.
True 👍 I'm 56, and this music is timeless 😊God speak ✌️
Absolutely!!😊
Keyspoet27
Right there with you.
I got this album not long after it came out, mostly for "I Feel the Earth Move," since the single had come out right before the 1971 Sylmar/Newhall earthquake, and became an instant hit in L.A. I loved the entire album.
I brought it over to my dad's one afternoon, and he enjoyed it as well, and some years later confided to me that this song was the one that he felt captured the ending of his marriage to my mom most perfectly.
Interestingly, the song that always reminded me of their split was "Overs," by Simon and Garfunkel, but I'm not sure that he had even heard that song, much less knew it.
Still love this album, and Bookends, and SO MANY MORE!!!
You’re absolutely right! I just got Tapestry on vinyl and it sounds great
This song strikes at the heart of the pain of losing someone you loved and hoped would stay with you forever.
This big world can become extremely lonely without a person you love and loves you. It is extreme pain to invest yourself emotionally in someone, then their heart goes hard and they go.
yes. the connection and when u lose that connection, feels like dying, he deleted all my whattsap then never heard from him
@@Catherinedent12 so sorry Catherine...listen to the song "closer to believing" by emerson lake and palmer
@@Rbl7132 ok, will listen to it now
Well, I would have to move on.
I lost my true love kinda because of this song, I’ll love you forever Sifey
The piano makes this track so melancholy.
You can live on just any instrument track in this recording. Such an achievement
yep and her skill with the chords...amazing writing
I like CHARLES LARKEY ON bass! I learned from him!
@@charlesaguilar1708 Loved your comment! This is a track where you get amazed at everything going on there the way a sound engineer go, even not being one, and I definitely join with you praising this guy as part of the team that made, in my honest opinion, this wonder of a recording and production feat, possible.
This is possibly the greatest pop song ever released. Catchy as hell, beautifully orchestrated, the lyrics are completely straightforward, conversational; no allusions or metaphors or 'deeper meanings' implied. It's just all out there, honest and raw, very adult and mature examination of the end of a romance.
I have been listening to her since I was 12 yrs old...Now 64 and still jamming to her music.
66 here...
Me too, 67 this year & still absolutely love this song
Right on you go girl ✌️
Same here. Just started high school in 71, and a few primary school friends went to different schools. My elder sister had 'Tapestry', (as did every other friend's elder sister in Australia, it seemed). 'So far away' got hold of me too. Missed my K-6 friends. 65 in May.
She wrote so many songs that fit the time. Finally she sang her own songs. I love this song!
Ikr. I love when Aretha surprised her at her Kennedy Center honors.
Too many.
Hell yeah brother!!!
Maybe MY SONG
@Bobb Grimley 1/2 right, she was a co-writer. Carol didn't write lyrics but she wrote all the music on her songs.
You can't overlook her amazing piano either.
I love this woman! These songs take me back to my childhood in the 70s. Best memories!
I find myself going outside with my coffee & sing this song to God! I'm 72 now, hard to forget good songs of our youth
Love this woman. Her talent and her effortlessly sung vocals always bring me to tears. Thank you Carole.
Her and Joni
Higher calling, or perhaps direct intervention...
My sentiments exactly. Couldn't have said it better if I had tried. She is truly magical, gifted with a rare ability to translate human emotion into music blended seamlessly with piercing lyrics. Arguably, the most talented singer-songwriter on the planet today. Countless thanks, Carole!!!
@@antonimartinez9961 and Dylan
perhaps the most realistic break up song of all times in American music. so profound and deep.
You are so right
@@craigsmith6274 so simple and easy ..clean pure ..natural ..just allowed to be ....she never had to work to bring it
It also applies in regards to people learning to let go of things.
One of the greatest breakup songs of all time..says it like it is..!!!😪❤
It's so lyrically beautiful, but it also hits so hard and so deep, because nearly all of us have lived through this scenario. You listen, and the years fall away and the emotions, long buried, still feel fresh.
Well said.😎👍
If this doesn't move you emotionally, you've never been in love. 💔
Never been in love but it still does lol x
40 years together. never had to hear this for me. love the song
I was 8 yrs old when this came out I still liked the song u don't have to be in love to like a good song
I bought this album in the early 1970s at around 12 years old. Listened to it over and over. Now decades later it has a new meaning because I understand it so much more. A timeless classic
Lol...
Don't we all understand all thoses beautiful song , the true meaning with age , or the unspoken "verite !" .
That is the beauty of life, and sadness...
Ooooh How I'd Love To Turn Back The Yesteryears! Those Were The Best Yrs. Of The Best Musician's, ❤
Especially after how The Dukes did you like that!
Does it evoke a certain nostalgia, does it make you feel, the time as it was then, today? It does it to me.
Songs of OUR time.Good for the soul.
I fell for Carole and this beautiful album way back in 1971... nothing has changed 🥰
Nothing to be scared about listening to this strong jam in front of no body. I’m a real man with real pain and this gets me by💪🏾
Melodically, this song is epic. Lyrically it takes you on a journey with a woman realizing the end of her romance within three minutes. This is an incredible realization of a breakup song. She goes from being stuck in bed, to realizing they don't have any fun anymore, to accepting the end within the context of the song. Even the answer vocal goes from "we can't make it" to "we can't make it NOW." This is a masterpiece by Carole King and a unique song in it's context. So many emotions within four minutes, not to mention amazing chords and musicianship.
For sure. We definitely had some great music back in the day...stands the test of time.
@Augustus Blake no, keep leaning into it. You're heading to worthy places
Very well put. What strikes me most about this piece is how Carole is not a piano virtuoso by any means, but a SONGWRITER who knows how to put a lyric to chords and melody with the best of them, and to convey all the emotions within. I believe Toni Stern wrote the lyric. IMHO this is one of the top pop songs of all time.
So well expressed, thanx...
My other favorite song by her is Jazz Man...
@Augustus Blake Haha
I always thought that Tapestry in total from the start to the finish was the best album ever made and I still do. There were many times when I was down, depressed and all alone that I feel that listening to this album literally saved my life.
A monster album.
Agreed! This was one of the first pop LPs my parents got me for my 12th birthday in 1971. I've always loved this album start to finish. I'm glad it got you through tough times . God bless you!
Every song on Tapestry is a hit. She is a true artist.
Interesting, in this particular case, not the best song to listen to if you are seriously depressed. But one of the great songs ever, about Neil Sedaka?
Me too
This woman was beyond multi-talented. Great song writer for so many great entertainers and for herself, producer, as well as talented musician and singer.🎉❤
Timeless classic her voice is bountiful and stunning
A favorite of mine
True to that , classic, i just can't stop listening to this song 🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍😍
She can barely sing. I suppose you like Janice Joplin's voice as well. Great talent though.
Thank you so much dear, where are you texting from?

I love the part where she sings "There'll be good times for me and you, but we can't stay together don't you feel it too? Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you"
Benevolence, grace, compassion, reality not blame
..all those, yeah, but still the sting of her singing it to him.
Thank you!
Nailed it
Still
@@joecalleros1359 hello fellow Calleros where are you from ?
I’m 19, and my orchestra teacher played this song in class once. I love it!
Want to know what the 70's sounded like? Here ya go...
JAMES ROCKFORD............................GREAT CHOICE !!!!!!!!!!!
There was nothing romantic about the 70's. Lots of tough times for lots of people. But the music? Sounds as good today as it did then. This song can't be remade. Estefan tried, but you can't really remake a perfect song and this is a perfect song.
Noel Taylor Exactly, everyone praises the era they grew up in and completely ignore the millions of people that suffered during that same period outside of their childhood suburb.
@@capitaoalcir thought about that show.
Amen, brotha
Pure and simple, melodic and timeless. Among the greatest albums ever.
It’s a beautiful song
Every song on that album was beautifully written and sung. Amazing Carole King.
you must not be familiar with my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
You are so right...This brings back so many beautiful memories...One of the greatest writers of all time...Love you Carole...
@@boscofan Jesus, Kanye? Really?
2024 and still loving it!
Who's still listening in 2024!

Saw the play Beautiful and a dinner theatre tonight ! Sound track of my life ❤️🎶
I Started Listening In 2024
Carole King is a genius!

Mark Green ...I second that!!!
@@hollyherring71 ...Absolutely!!!
@@brucescott4261 She's just so humble, so human, and such a supporter of good things!
Dam...a new millennium and this song still jams! Carole King OWNS this song!
One of the greatest albums of the 70s too
@the middle man Yeah most of us on here will be long dead by then..lol
the middle man The 1900s was a different millennium then 2000s.
Well, she wrote it.
Carole wrote dozens of hit songs...
I’m so glad I grew up in this time period. Music was the best. Clothing and culture were crazy, I guess, but the music speaks for itself. Rock on 70’s.
In 1971 being an 11-year-old male listening to this timeless hit, I never imagined that I'd still love and have a passion for such a relaxing easy listening song in 2024. Good times back then. We need Carole King in our music today to remind us that life has been great and is full of wonderful memories.
LYRICS
Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
(No, no, no, no)
It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (we can't make it)
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too?
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (we can't make it)
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no, no, no
It's too late, baby
It's too late now, darling
It's too late
Thankyou for lyrics

Im glad people still put the lyrics in the comments because it's really comfortable for me to read them while i listen
Thank you soooo much!!
@@mynameisjonas4191 me too!!! I put it on repeat and listen over and over and remember who and when this song broke my heart so many times....but it's one of my all time fav!
Watched Carole on the AMA's tonight, she looks 50...and she is gonna be 78 on Feb09th...I first heard this album in 1971 in grade 9...Still takes me back in time to better days...May God Bless
Still beautiful inside & out
I never realized until i was older how amazing carole king really is at song writing. Such a talented artist.
This kind of music is almost a spiritual experience anyone can have...
Amen🙏
Music. The universal language.
Terrence Lane Amen!
Music is peace and love to the world!!
Terrence Lane My maths teacher used to say ‘Maths is the universal language ‘
Tapestry is just brilliant.
Bill Higgins agreed
Tapestry was brilliant.
Possibly the best Album ever written I can remember word-perfect every track
It IS brilliant, in fact I recall hearing that music producers everywhere learned from this one album to NEVER put that many hits on one album, to parse them out over several albums to make more money.
The Best!!
The bit that really caught my ear when this became a hit and I heard it on the radio was the instrumental section: electric guitar, and soulful saxophone, and…wait, what instrument is that? An electric piano-weaving in and out of each other. Well, not just any electric piano, a Rhodes. I ended up buying one a few years later. I gigged with it extensively well into the eighties, and I still have it.
Only 11yrs old and liked her voice so beautiful ❤️
One of the most beautiful songs of all times...
One of the best break up songs ever.
One of the best songs ever break up or not
I'm so thankful to have been raised on this beautiful music ; it's the only joyful memory I have. (My mother is a Sociopath with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, so my childhood and that if my three siblings was horrific! But there is comfort, beauty and joy in this music. ). ❤
My relationship with music is similar. Maybe my childhood wasn't so bad, but my happiest memories come from songs. They seem so much more sincere and true than people
tapestry made such an impact on so many people, never gets old. every song a masterpiece
Smiles, hello Ruth 🌺 😊
She also wrote You've Got A Friend, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Up On A Roof, and the list goes on and on. This is pure, complete, talent.

I'm 19 and I ADORE this song
Im 15 and ithink she's gorgeous
And friendships
@@leangeloph557 You have good taste
Thanks LoL
I was maybe 3 or 4 when this album came out but my mother had it and played it alot. Parents were divorced by then so I’m sure this great song resonated with her.
Love you Carol King. Can't get enough of your songs. Thanks 👍
Couldn't agree more!! In fact, I just released a remake of this legendary song on Friday, if you have a moment and want to check out my version, it's on my channel:) Elle Gyandoh, "Too Late". Thank you in advance:)
This is woman keeping real to both herself and her former paramour. Songs like this don't exist anymore because people rely on gimmicks and catchphrases instead of their actual feelings.
thank you!!!
There's no songs today that bring back feelings , I just know real music has died.
amen
Agreed 😊
Gimmicks and catch phrases, something Democrats rely on instead of actually trying to solve the problem
This got me back to that time after coming home from Nam, an being in that hospital an getting my Dear John letter. I thought she must wrote that letter after hearing this song. But really like all of Carole's songs. an got 3 great kid, an 5 grand kids from a love of my life. So life always goes on.
thank you for your service
Thank you, that counts a lot, for now. but any one in any service in the 60's to the 70's, those times were very hard. From paper bags of dog shit, thrown at us, to not getting food in a restaurant, some times we could not even get in the door an them tell us, or me No food for you. Almost as bad as the blacks of that time. Just a very bad time. Now we have those people in government Crazy.
@@jackwireman5457 First & foremost, I most heartily thank you for your service as well! 👍
I grew up during the 60's & 70's & I had two uncles in 'Nam & one dear friend who came out of the jungle on the end of a rope!! Under fire! Sadly, we lost him to Crohn's BEFORE the VA concluded it WAS caused by Agent Orange. Grrr.
But mostly, as you point out above, the way you soldiers were treated upon your return was, to me, a grade school kid, abominable!! Truly if anyone believes that people are ugly right now {& many are} chat with a Vietnam Era Veteran!! Also, sadly & enragingly, here we go again with the whole "Baby Killers" bullshit! 😤
Unbelievable! My son in law did 3 tours in the 'sandboxes' & he does have undiagnosed PTS {as it is now called} but won't admit it nor seek help. Very sad. But here we are & I am so very glad that you are still with us! Our generation had CCR etc., & nowadays the troops have Five Finger Death Punch & so forth to listen & relate to!
Non Sibi Sed Patriae! Peace! ✌☮😊🤘💨
Know what you mea?
Jack thank you so much for your service, my father was in Nam to in 68. god bless you
I'm still playing and enjoying this timeless class more than 50 years later....
That is SUCHA Gorgeous Album Cover... I love playing this song with Carole on my old guitar and just gazing into those 1970's Eyes...
I heard this for the first time yesterday for the first time in a long time. afternoon on BBC Radio 2 Sounds of the Seventies and still love it as much. Tony in Portsmouth England.
One of my favorite songs, 63 now but bought in my teens and listen to this day.
All right Janey me too, 60, sippin a Cosmo and being happy here in Boston
Janey I'm sixty and still listening to this song brings back a lot of good memories before I went to the war now I'm alone since my wife passed on six years ago

takes me back to sad time in my life. brings back my emotions from that time in the early 70's

everything Carole king does is gold.
played in Hyde Park London in 2016 and the place was packed.She's well loved over here and the current West End show "The Music of Carole King" is a hot ticket that I'm attending in a couple of weeks time,cant wait,always been a huge fan.
Driving my Father's Cadillac Fleetwood on the open highway on Long Island in Summertime in the 1970's with all eight windows open, the Stereo radio playing Carol King. Wonderful Memories. PJD.
😢😢😢😢
Love that story .as a former longislander ..Thx for sharing
Try listening to some of these classic/greats on a QUADRAPHONIC sound system (preferably TAPE).
AMAZING to hear.. long before today's "surround sound" systems.
