Hey GrayViners!

What a week for nostalgia! You really brought the heart and the harmony to last week’s Sunday Classics showdown—and after all the nods, smiles, and a healthy dose of toe-tapping, we’ve got ourselves a winner: “So Far Away” by Carole King takes the crown!

Originally released in 1971 on her iconic Tapestry album, this song has a way of settling into your chest and staying there. It’s gentle, it’s longing, and it’s pure Carole—her voice like warm sunlight on a rainy day.

“So Far Away” was written during a time when she was transitioning away from writing hits for others and stepping into her own spotlight. And boy, did she shine.

That whole album? A masterpiece. But this song in particular hits that quiet Sunday morning mood just right—soft, reflective, and full of heart.

Now it’s your turn again! Drop your pick for next week’s Sunday Classics in the comments below. The one that gets the most reactions gets the spotlight in next Sunday’s newsletter.

So whether it’s something smooth and soulful, upbeat and nostalgic, or a tune that makes you close your eyes and hum along—let us know!

Cheers!
Blue 💙
