Carole King sings 'So Far Away' in quarantine

A self-quarantining Carole King is bringing some comfort to fans by performing a Facebook video version of her classic "So Far Away." The hit's lyrics are suddenly very relevant to everyone who is missing friends, family and loved ones amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In her video, which is also posted on her social media accounts, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer wishes everyone well and gives a special thanks to "all the medical professionals who are doing such important and difficult work."

She also praises "all the people [who] keep the groceries coming in, the trash being picked up...and oh, there are just so many things that I don't even know about! But I'm not taking it for granted. None of it. So thank you all," she added. "And thank you all for staying in and making sure that we do our part to help this crisis go away. May it be soon."
