    Me and my Dad shared this song as a connection that holds us together through the distance of growing apart, lovingly, my dad, my best friend and hero, dying of cancer. I will love you always and remember my daddy! I will miss you. My special gift from God. When you pass on, Dad, I will always ❤️ you and sing this song to the sky. ❤❤❤❤ Thank you God for blessing me with the most loving father.

      I can promise you that your friend is truly at rest now. A couple years ago I lost my wife, mother to my son, and my best friend, so I truly know your pain. Just know that our spirit, our soul is truly eternal, and this human existence is but a glimpse of what we truly are, and what we’ve got ahead of us. I hope you can find peace in knowing that your friend is by no means gone, they’re just on the other side of a mountain that is in between the two of you. One day, that mountain will be moved and the two of you will be reunited. Take care, fellow human 🙏🙂

    Life is so hectic, but James Taylor is one of only a handful of recording artists/singers that put me at peace almost immediately. So glad he’s been and always will be a part of my musical life. ‘Love Always’ Proverbs 3:5

    I heard this song a week ago and every hair stood up on my neck. I was instantly transported back to my 9 year old self. It’s bedtime and I’m huddled amongst some old musty smelling cream wool blankets , I’m alone in a pitch black room. There’s a creaking around me and a whistle of wind coming in through the cracked rickety window. Theres a scratching noise behind the skirting boards. Usually scary but insignificant now compared to the excruciating throbbing pain in my heart that keeps taking my breath away. My whole body ached like never before. I need my daddy to pick me up and hug me . I need to snuggle against him while smelling his soft warm jumper. I need to push my face into his to kiss him and for him to kiss me right back even with just stubbly chin The nuns at my school had said miracles exist. So I prayed while I sobbed for God to return my daddy back to me or to take me to him. I knew he wouldn’t leave me without a goodbye .I screamed into the pillow covering it with tears, mucus and spit . My jaw hurt so badly. I wept until my head felt like it would explode. I needed my daddy more than anything in the world. I knew he’d come back , he just wouldn’t leave me .. he would send me a message I wasn’t sure how. I hid under the blankets scared a monster would come . Under my pillow was an old tranny radio. Battered and old with a dial to try to find a station . My mother had told me if I listened to it at night the a policeman would come and shout at me and we would get into trouble. . So I’d hidden it well. Under the covers I’d try to tune it in . The reception was iffy , muffled voices and crackles over music , voices came and went I was hoping my dad might talk to me through the little old radio . His voice might just come if I listened intently .
    The pain in my heart battered and bruised me. I wondered if it was possible to die under my blankets and God lift me up through the world to my daddy. As I turned the nob on the battered paint stained radio suddenly this song came on and spoke to my pain . The words entered my mind and my broken heart. They soothed something in me as the ends of my fingers chewed broken nails throbbed to the music . The words in the song told me my daddy was always with me . He was still here he was my friend I just couldn’t see him.
    It’s impossible to convey how much this song comforted and spoke directly to me. Talking about my dad’s death was not an option at that time . I was left to find my own way to process the pain.
    James Taylor I thank you so very much for offering something to me to hold on to.

      You should also thank Carole King as she was the one who wrote and sang this song. Then she also would team up with James Taylor to do the duet.

      "You've Got a Friend" is a 1971 song written by American singer-songwriter Carole King. It was first recorded by King and included on her second studio album, Tapestry (1971). Another well-known version is by James Taylor from his album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. James Taylor and Carole King were married if I am not mistaken. Wonderful, wonderful song.

We have all celebrated together every year for the last 35 years in a most beautiful loving friendship. Last night we all went out to dinner together for the guys mutual birthday. After returning home my ex's husband died. I dedicate this heartfelt song to the memory of their love for each other and to us. God speed Steve. You gave us everything you had with all your artistic creative love.

      I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on RUclips

    Heard this song when it first came out. I was 17 and in my last year of High School and was left my mom to fend for myself and finish my last year alone. Don't know how I would have made it without my best friend. Can't hear this song without thinking of her. One of my biggest regrets is not staying in touch with her. Think I'll call today😢

      I hope you are able to get in touch with your friend again. I know the comment of a random internet stranger doesn't mean much but I also try to live by the philosophy that you don't know who would benefit from a kind word... So I wish you well and I hope you are able to reconnect with your friend.🙂

    When you're down and troubled
    And you need a helping hand
    And nothing, nothing is going right
    Close your eyes and think of me
    And soon I will be there
    To brighten up even your darkest night
    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    All you've got to do is call
    And I'll be there, ye, ye, ye
    You've got a friend
    If the sky above you
    Should turn dark and full of clouds
    And that old north wind should begin to blow
    Keep you head together
    And call my name out loud now
    Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come running, oh yes I will, to see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall, ye
    All you have to do is call
    And I'll be there, ye, ye, yeah
    Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
    When people can be so cold
    They'll hurt you, and desert you
    And take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, don't you let 'em now
    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come running to see you again, oh baby, don't you know
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    Hey now, all you have to do is call
    And I'll be there, yes I will
    You've got a friend
    You've got a friend, yeah
    Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
    Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
    Oh, ye yeah, you've got a friend

    During the summer of 1971, a time period between 10th and 11th grade, this song was like a friend. A friend who was always there when you needed them. A friend who listened to you but wouldn’t put you down. Now just a distant memory but only a touch of a fingertip away…
