Does anyone know what inspired the Carole King song "Way Over Yonder"?

Question

The song "Way Over Yonder" by Carole King has always been a favourite of mine, but lately I've found myself singing it even in my sleep. The images the song describes are very evocative...wonder if anyone has any insight as to what inspired the song...and did she write it herself?

Answer 1

I don't know, but I love that song too! And the whole album, I bet I played that thing a million times!
