Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Original Instrumental)

[@ruibengalita5512]

The best music since 1967…till now 2024, always love it…, every day…every night…❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Richard-xg1vv]

Agree 100 percent !

[@philchadwick8942]

One of those perfect songs that you just have to play again and again.

[@raulhernandezgarcia1922]

Even though the lyrics in their sung version seem to have absolutely no sense or romanticism

[@astral276]

Back in 1969 for an RAF church parade I convinced the elderly Padre, by telling him it was based on the music to an ancient hymn, to get the organist to play this as we exited the church at service end. It sounded absolutely amazing on a full church organ and with the church acoustics. To this day I don't know if I really did fool the Padre or if he fooled me into thinking I did. Probably better for my soul if it was the latter (😇). Though he did comment afterwards that it was the slowest he had ever seen the congregation leave the church as everyone hung around listening to it.

[@esteetatton7148]

It awakens every cell of my being. Memories of life flow with the melody, it’s the greatest!

L'anima vola con questa sublime e meravigliosa musica

[@yammiebreeze4564]

The first time, I listened this instrumental when I was in my 20's. I kept visualizing that there was something that penetrated into my soul. It is heart shaking. So, I keep on searching for the copy of this song until I found one.. and I consider this as one my best choices to play. Rolling by the years am now in the 60's still I listen this piece..whether am both sad and happy😢😂 Thanks for this upload. I will never will stop listening to this.

[@raulhernandezgarcia1922]

I'm in the same situation, I'm 60 years old and I've known the melody since my childhood from a recording my father had and it's my favorite after Santo and Johnny's "sleepwalk". By the way, this song (A whiter shade of pale) was also Lennon's And McCartney's favorite song

[@albertinirock4926]

I wish I could back in time! I would be happier when this was written than now!

[@Richard-xg1vv]

It's just amazing how this song has captivated so many included myself. Just a masterpiece, instrumental or vocal. One of the best, it speaks to the soul.

[@biry96]

questa canzone mi ricorda la mia cara sorella che non c'è più...quando felici e gioiose si andava a ballare...ciao giusy...mi manchi da morire!

A White Shade Of pale. Is The Grand Masterpiece Of The World music. Forever. ❤️

[@raulhernandezgarcia1922]

Even though it sounds very romantic, I never understood the lyrics. It has no sense to me. Could somebody explain what is all about?

[@PhukIT1865]

sounds just as great as it did in 1967

[@marcelinopacajoj2048]

@@raulhernandezgarcia1922 The orchestral version had greater diffusion and acceptance in our parts, so much so that we knew the lyrics a long time later. Analyzing the verses is quite confusing because it definitely uses unconventional language. Personally, I interpret it as the chronicle of a bohemian revelry of a group of friends, probably made up of couples. Despite their advanced alcohol status, they apparently ask for more batches of beer. One of the ladies expresses her premonition about the action that her partner intends to take, who then confirms her intention of seduction. It seems that the white blanching refers to the white frost that formed on a can of cold beer in a hot, humid environment. It follows that there is talk of a particular brand of beer but no one has confirmed this. It is not a very coherent narrative, but the music is undoubtedly melodious and highly emotional.

[@raulhernandezgarcia1922]

Thanks for the interpretation... 👍​@@marcelinopacajoj2048

[@TrancetasticWilza]

my Dad loved this and we played it at his funeral as he requested.. 😔❤

[@raulhernandezgarcia1922]

You must listen to the sung version of "Going Home" by the choir of LIBERA For a funeral, you'll probably change your mind.

[@gdnctr9779]

One of, if not my all-time, favorites from the 60s.

[@drkam6]

This is the unreleased mono backing track appearing on the album "Procol Harum - 30th Anniversary Anthology" (1997). It appears in the CD 3, Rarities, together with an unreleased stereo version which actually has an ending.

This instrumental music just touch my heart, this is one of the best ever, I could listen to it all day long, so beautiful, so touching

[@markrushing4124]

I so very LOVE this classic piece of hot wax!! One thing about instrumental music is that you can place your own thoughts; (Past, Present, or the Future), and NEVER feel guilty about it!!! Let it flow. Let it be!!

There is something in this instrumental song that touches me to my inner soul. It is just so touching that I have to listen to it so often.

Thank you and RIP Gary Brooker for this all time classic.

[@primeminister51]

I've listened to over 50 versions of this classic song and I'm yet to find a reason to dislike it. For me, it will go down in the annals of music history as one of those songs that'll remain ageless. Even when we exit this planet, we'll still be hearing its melodious sound of peace and tranquility.

Johann Sebastian Bach - Air on the G String, which is the second part of the Orchestral Suite 1068 - Orchestral Suite. 3 in D major, BWV 1068, which the composer wrote between 1717 and 1723, dedicated to his protector German Prince, Leopold of Anhalt.

And so he writes again in 20th century, some genius is never gone.

[@KevSmith-xi7fm]

I have just read about Procal Harum's Whiter Shade Of Pale organ player Mathew Fisher and he says he played it on his own Hammond organ which was an M100 and not a C3 or B3 which was later stolen. No other organ sound or music comes close, what a wonderful player Mathew Fisher is.

We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick But the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale She said, 'There is no reason' And the truth is plain to see But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might have just as well've been closed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale And so it was that later.

Serce krwawi jak takie DZIEKO przerabia się na kić. Miłość zawsze przakazuje się w oryginale.Czyni to człowiek,który jest sobą w całej osobowości,który życie swoje i innych traktuje na serio.Pozdrawiam.
