I saw Procol Harum 4 times live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, and this song was part of the set list. What an fantastic singer Gary Brooker is. May B.J Wilson, Gary Brooker, Alan Cartwright and Keith Reid rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️

Since 1990 music died. Who are the great ones since 1990? There’s too many great ones to list before 1990. I’m not gonna pick favorites here but who has been outstanding to us since 1990 no one everything was out of tune you have that big Amazon made up country western to popular star running around the country now she sucks she stinks. I heard her when they cut the mic and her singing. I think better in the shower than that big tall talent you know who I’m talking about.

This was a favourite song of a good friend, John McConnell, and I always think of him when I hear it...his life ended tragically and too soon but he was one of those people you were glad to say that you knew...

It's been years since I read a factoid about this song. It said that it is the most requested song to radio stations worldwide. I regret that I didn't share it with my uncle when I read it. As a teen, listening to it while my family was on vacation, my uncle made fun of it. He claimed that the lyrics made no sense. I was about 16; he was in his late 30's. That was in 1968. I still have to stop whatever I am doing when it begins to play.

You were wiser than your Uncle. It's not the words that make this song touching and powerful. It's the melody and the arrangement. It has the quality of a hymn to me. Cheers!
