Beautiful lower register, and adding the ballerina during the musical interludes is brilliant. She has a once in a lifetime voice. 👑

[@randysimon7363]

Whiter Shade of Pale was a #1 hit by Procol Harum in 1967. It has been covered by many artists over the years, notably Annie Lennox. Nobody understood lyrics from the psychedelic era!

[@johncollins392]

Not even the writers!😅

[@larrybutler8948]

We are still waiting to hear the Millers tale.

[@CFWhitman]

@@larrybutler8948 Perhaps you are aware already, but "The Miller's Tale" is the second of Chaucer's _Canterbury Tales,_ and this definitely seems to be what the song is referencing. Knowing that, though, doesn't seem to make the words to the song any more decipherable.

[@larrybutler8948]

@@CFWhitman at 75 Canterbury Tales was a required reading. You are right tough it still makes no sense. lol

[@Orti78]

Lucy doesn't need any spectacular videos, her voice and charisma take care of everything on their own. 😊

[@ChrisScott0]

This is a cover of an iconic British song from 1967 with history dating back to Bach, that’s stood the test of time. I wouldn’t bother trying put meaning to the lyrics, I don’t think Procol Harum know themselves. The sound of this song with it’s classic electronic organ melody is most memorable. Lucy with her clear voice delivers the lyrics cleanly so now we can listen the lyrics, when the original focuses more on the music and tune. This is an artistic production of an old building worn and torn with pale shades to back set the contrasting colour and rich tones of Lucy. Everything and all, and only what’s needed, but pleased it stayed simple and focused on Lucy.

[@bboomerusa4737]

I think this song is more of a feeling than a meaning. Whatever “you” think the meaning is, that’s what it is. Lucy just sets the mood.

[@Cholseyroyal]

I’m surprised you didn’t recognise the song from 1967, a classic. I love Lucy’s lower register, smooth and soothing. Credit to the production team coming up with the idea of using a ballerina in an old “whiter shade of pale” house. 😊

[@debnbhuy]

This is from her new album it is BEYOND words !!!

[@richeswebcraft]

Written in 1967, my guess the song is about someone at a party having a trip... nice reaction.

[@henkhessel3651]

Lucy's video has subtitles that you can turn on. It also has a description that you might read. The lyrics are all over the web. Good luck with their meaning...

[@5pmevans]

I was 18 in early 1968 when I heard Procol Harum perform this live shortly after it has been No 1 in the UK for 6 weeks and no I didn’t understand the lyrics then either! Lucy’s version is based on the Annie Lenox version from the mid 90s but, in my opinion is better than the original and any of the literally hundreds of covers since then!

[@WOODLASE]

Myself 17 in 1967 when Procol Harum's hit became huge here in America and Lucy's cover is pure heaven and so soulful...

[@bruceobrown534]

Hi ya Dennis - as randysimon pointed out 'Whiter Shade of Pale was a #1 hit by Procol Harum in 1967'. Lucy performed this song completely in her lower vocal range. Those rich and deep vocal tones are a divergence from her previous performances, highlighting her versatility in presentation. Another very nice reaction and your support for Lucy. Hope your new year is very successful, safe, & healthy!

[@estanislaolabuguen9084]

This is beautiful song beautiful voice the richness warm-feeling's this video also the best with the ballarena dancer ballads as the backgrounds is fantastic.

[@johncollins392]

Can't believe you have never heard this classic song origionally by Procal Harum released in 1967,though i am somewhat older than you!😅as regards to the song, it didn't even make sense to the writers! & yes this is a great cover by Lucy,love the lower register too her voice throughout, it gets better & better the more you listen to it!,Lucy is a 'class act'.💖

[@colinhea]

Hi Dennis This is a classic song sung by British Band Procol Harum in 1967.Don´t worry about not understanding the Lyrics no one has to this day .Just enjoy the beauty of Lucy´s rendition .She is gearing up now for launch out into the world She is using her great lower register in this song I think this is her best song to date Chris Broom has done a fantastic job in the Production with the shabby pale background and the Ballet dancer all adding the contrast to Lucy´s bright dress. I think Lucy goes way beyond with this. Thanks for your continued support for Lucy Happy New Year

[@user-ut3vr1xf4h]

Uma voz lindíssima. Mas nao traz nunhuma Surpresa. Deus abençoe esta voz maravilhosa..

[@michaelhingley4770]

You must be very young Dennis! 😂 This is one of the most covered songs in pop history with over 1000 known covers - and there is still debate over the meaning of the lyrics! 1967 was during the psychedelic era and the use of acid was common - possibly even influential in the composition of this iconic song. In spite of this, Lucy conjures her own magic with this particular 'phone book' to produce an unforgettable and unique rendition. A beautiful video in every respect.

[@103mrg]

michael Most covered?? Try "Yesterday"..... "A Whiter Shade.." is probably not even in the top 100.

[@michaelhingley4770]

​​@@103mrgDuly edited - I must not take the result of every Google search to be necessarily true, but certainly AWSOP is one of the most covered, with over 1000 different artist covers.'Yesterday' looks to be way out in front with over 2200, but with so many different variations sometimes only the title seems to have any resemblance to the original!

[@debnbhuy]

Interesting reaction but what I am finding recently is songs such as this absolute classic not known by people reacting to videos !! It may be my age ( 63 ) but songs like this have been played on radio stations all over the world for decades ! How have you managed to avoid it ?? Annie Lennox also did a version of it in 1995. This is from her new album it is BEYOND words !!!

[@jimivison5837]

Lucy did a fantastic performance on this song. I love her smooth lower register. The instruments are different than the original song. As best as I can remember this song has really no meaning although I still like the song. It was really popular song in the late 60s early 70s if I remember correctly. It was done during the hippy movement. But Lucy really changed the whole tempo and meaning if there is one. I don’t think anyone that is alive today is a better vocalist than Lucy. I’m an old man and I have heard a lot of people sing but she is in a class of her own.

[@103mrg]

jim You've probably never listened to Angelina Jordan. Lucy has a great voice, but she's not in Angelina's league.

[@jimivison5837]

@@103mrg yes I have heard Angelina several times maybe more than several times. Angelina has a stunning and wonderful voice. I like very much some of her performances. But I don’t care for her gritty voice she uses much too often. Just not my style of music. But that’s ok to each his own.

[@103mrg]

@@jimivison5837 I respect that your tastes are different. However, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that your comments of "gritty voice she uses much too often" and "not my style of music" are not quite accurate. She has no "style of music", except maybe the jazz influences that she often injects into her rendition. But she covers so many genres, and being known as "the girl with a 1000 voices", in her over 200 covers and originals, she's never been accused of just using one or two of them. She's always changing her sound. It's one aspect of her creative genius that sets her apart from all the rest.

[@jimivison5837]

@@103mrg good for her and you

[@vnc7345]

There is a KZbin video where the lead singer and lyrics writer talk about this song. About the best explanation the writer had was "... I'd like the song. I'd like it to feel like a Dali painting looks." (melting clock artist)

[@michaelgale6829]

Hi Dennis- oh man this girl - wow wow wow! Is there anything she can’t smash ? Lucy can sing so low but still with power then… it’s like a large door is opened n she just crashes through that door but in such a crazy smooth way . Other melody sounds soooo beautiful! Oh I could listen to her all day n night Attention Lucy THOMAS! Just so perfect. Thank you 👌🌹🌹🌹

[@BlackCloud82]

Dennis, I haven't decoded the lyrics yet. But, This is beautiful, silky, serene, even emotional; all due to Lucy. BTW, I first heard this piece in the Sandra Bullock movie "The Net".

[@barbaracallister8138]

Hello Denis, this song was recorded originally by a British Group called Procal Harlom in 1967, the original was a bit different than Lucy's version, Lucy's version was recorded by a Scottish Singer called Annie Lennox in the 90's. This song is one of the old time greats and the lyrics was written by a person who was a hippy don't forget in the 60's there was flower power so everybody was stoned the words written although sounding beautiful had no meaning. Lucy sings this copy just like Annie Lennox it's so hard to tell the difference between the too. This cover is so good, Lucy is going to be a Superstar soon there is nobody out there that can match the way she sings. Happy New Year Barbara.

[@fuzzyx2face]

People can write meaningful songs even if they smoke weed

[@barbaracallister8138]

Garry Brooker lead singer of Procal Harlom was asked about what the lyrics meant and he did not know the answer, personally I think the lyrics are so special so beautiful. @@fuzzyx2face

[@LesParker-qx9xs]

@fuzzyx2face maybe they might sound meaningful, but even writer of the song admits that even he didn't know what they meant

[@johncollins392]

@@fuzzyx2face mist of them did back then!😅

[@lauriesweeney8952]

Ty for your reaction. Nobody knows what the lyrics means 😂 procol harem was the original group. There is a live version of this a few years ago thats amazing. Rip Gary Booker. I think you'd love hearing the original group

[@blackbird8516]

It is truly amazing that this up and coming generation is re birthing all these wonderful songs we grew up with. Going back by going forward just shows you cant beat quality over technology......Great songs are timeless...and these wonderful new artists are being mentored by the best. The exciting thing about this is that these up and comers also in many cases write music so that their new songs will be of a much higher standard and quality....Bring it on....Great job Lucy...sings like an angel...great voice, great presence, great song...there it is folks..the trilogy of excellence.

[@robertbrown8911]

Also, if you loved the low to midrange of Lucy in this song, try A Thousand Years on the Beyond Album. It is not a video yet but you can find it on KZbin. Excellent smooth melody with low to midrange vocals.

[@downrigger002]

Hi, predates the 80's by a lot. Famous Procol Harum piece. You need to take a look at a version from a concert in Denmark from 2006 by Gary Brooker. It was from the psychedelic rock era (late 60's). Lucy as always makes it her own. It is on her latest album. A few more on the album to look forward to, because they are beautiful ("Pie Jesu", "1000 Years" and "Hold On") when she releases videos.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Yes, that's outstanding!

[@edwinbarnett9032]

That was acid rock. They were tripping.The ceiling flew away

[@garyzeger7561]

A Whiter Shade of Pale " is a song by the English rock band Procol Harum that was issued as their debut record on 12 May 1967. The single reached number 1 in the UK...

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Beautiful imagery. Sad lyrics.

[@LesParker-qx9xs]

I agree with most of the comments, its very hard to understand the meaning of the lyrics, not even the writer of the song understood, they were all stoned in 1967,but it was NO,1 all around the world for some strange reason ,no matter Lucy just makes everything her own

[@segazavr6596]

Люси классная певица!!!спасибо за реакции

British band Procol Harum made the original song in 1967. Lyrics were written under the influence. Say no more!!

Hi Dennis I am a Lucy Thomas Fan. Thank You for taking time to react to her, I noticed that you do not have a Playlist for lucy Thomas. I love your reactions. Thank You Kim in Arizona.

[@quequeissominhagente]

Lucy 😍😍😍

[@ComfortablyNumb24]

It’s about meditation and going inside to find yourself. Almost like a near death experience.

[@kit-kretar777]

Dennis, you listened to this the right way. Just let her sumptuous voice carry you away. The words are just a means for Lucy to deliver it with her deep, rich tone and soothing vibrato. I love watching her as she sways to the languid beat of the song. The lovely ballerina is excellent as she dances to the tinkling music box sound. Outstanding production values as well. Lucy is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Thanks for the interesting reaction. Kit

[@spencerbutterbaugh6104]

Shocked you did not know this song no matter how old you are. A number one hit around the world 1967 by Procol Harum. Got a kick out of you mispronouncing the title. Your not alone a couple others flubbed it also. No matter a good reaction. Thanks!

[@edwinbarnett9032]

When LSD first came out it was not illegal

[@WOODLASE]

Lucy's producer, Chris Broome is a GENIUS and has Lucy reaching the stars..

[@pedromancenithe3rd]

Hi Dennis. This is a promotion video and really doesn't need pausing. It wont get blocked. I'm pretty sure Chris Broom wants people to experience the full Lucy Thomas phenomenon.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Lucy's mellowed this out considerably. Has always been one of my favorite 60's songs. As covers go this is beautiful, I like it but I kind of have to think of it as a different song. I love Lucy Thomas, however there can never be a version to outshine Procol Harum's.

[@robertbrown8911]

For some reason when I listen to the backing vocals and music, I think Enya. Your thoughts? Love the way Lucy and Chris put this together. Someone thought the ballerina was Alanna Massey from Second Chance video. I sent her Alanna a message asking if it was her with no response yet.

[@randyneal5836]

I love Lucy's cover of this 1967 #1 hit by Procol Harum. I love it better than the Annie Lennox version, by far.

[@larrybutler8948]

How about 1967 pop sound?

[@garryamey2401]

I like the fact you go in cold.. but a little research might get the title and the lyrics right, not to mention the actual era of late 60s and psychodelia where the lyrics dont need to make sense.. its all about the music

[@RustyB14]

This was a boring song when it first came out, so just because someone "threw it to" Lucy Thomas doesn't make it a hit. I prefer to hear her do better songs. I love listening to Lucy and there is a song called "Hold On" (another original song from the upcoming, Rosie the Musical) and it is so much better a song, than Whiter Shade of Dull (pale)..except Hold On is just a cover so far of the beautiful, budding Lucy Thomas, but it needs the video of the Will Callan/Lucy T, like the beautiful original "Above the Clouds". Those two are special songs. This one is not.
