Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark 2006

[@bonnielandry3185]

How come you can listen to this song a million times and still get teary eyed and emotional. Memories flood in, tears flood out! Music “back in the day” was “BEST OF THE BEST”. It’s 2024, I’m not 67 and it’s a large pill to swallow. Where did our time go? Oh to be back in the day!

[@suchitranaphuket7701]

I am at the same age. This song was the last song that I fell in love right after hearing it. My beloved song started with Supper Bird, I was just started to learn Eng, from this you should have known that I was from non English back ground. The music ( super bird) caught me, plus I could understand most of the lyrics, I like it so much so I went to buy the translated songs book to learn more about this song. I have couples more songs in my memory, but to make it shorter I have to go straight to this song. I move to Australia in 1995 when I heard this song , the instrument version, for the first time. It was the sound of Organ that struck me, then I searched for the song and listened to the regular song with the lyrics. I learn more English from this song😂😂😂. I love it until now, never get bore listening to.

[@lilycheese4]

I'm 21. A lot of people are commenting about how they grew up with this song, but I think it's important to know that young people, though we may not have the nostalgia, are still discovering great music like this from generations before us. Songs like this truly are timeless.

[@itsmommy100]

I was born in 1955. I remember hearing this song for the first time on the school bus, believe it or not. Our driver played the AM radio over the PA system on the bus for us if we behaved. I've loved since long before I ever really knew the meaning of the lyrics, but I always had the right idea. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know new generations are enjoying it! I was so fortunate to have a seemingly unending supply of great music growing up. I'm 67 and still listen to so many favorites on a regular basis. 😊

You're the same age as my "child bride". I listen to this every few weeks just to re-center myself after a tough day. One of the best songs from the best age of rock and roll. I remember very well when this first came out and have always thought it to be one of the songs in my life's soundtrack. Gary's voice aged far better than most and this concert was during the time I thought was his best. We lost him a couple of years ago and the world lost a great talent. Hope you are well and are having your best life. JP

This was our song in high school. My boyfriend and I would drive around all night playing it. One of the most brilliant songs ever made. Now here comes the sad part. After 2 years of dating, my boyfriend and I broke up. I was devastated but went off to college. After several months, I heard this very song being played as I walked out of the school. I thought ,what the h???.... There, in the parking lot, was my ex-boyfriend, playing this song for me. I ran to his car and asked him what he was doing. He told me to hop in the car so we could go talk. I was elated to see him and talk to him. We've been married for 46 years now and it's still our song.

Good for your dad! (And thank you for thanking him!) My daughter was a "captive audience" in my car for her first 16 years, as I drove her from one activity to another. The driver chooses the music. I graduated high school in 1979. She only heard classic rock and roll in my car. And she soaked it in. She was about 4 or 5 years old, we were on our way, probably to dance class or school, a song came on, and I asked her who sings it. Her tiny little girl voice said, "CCR". I asked her, what does that stand for? You can't imagine how adorable that little girl's voice was when she responded, "Creedence Clearwater Revival"! She's seen in concert The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Elton John, and of course, my man Paul (McCartney). A teacher once asked a question in class and she automatically said "Yellow Submarine". She was right. Her classmates looked at her like she was nuts. "How do you know that?!". "My mom, duh"!" I jokingly say I brainwashed my child, but for someone born in 1993, she has a helluva lot of rock and roll knowledge, and appreciation! Your dad was awesome, as are you!!

As a teen, I went from learning lyrics by listening to songs and writing them down to buying the latest Pop & R&B lyric magazines published back in the day. Singing in the school choir while attending the same high school my parents graduated from, which was something passed down from my mom, cultivated my love of performing in talent shows and musical theater shows. Being spiritually grounded, I wound up singing with my church choir and was blessed to be a soprano in their backing choir to the late great Bishop Rev. Timothy Wright. and go on a limited tour with him that netted us a Grammy nomination in 1998 for Best Traditional Gospel Album. (We lost to Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom ☺). Now, many years later, as a mom to a Special needs daughter, we use Music Therapy to help her to stimulate her Autism Cerebral Palsy and Sensory Integration issues. I truly believe that ALL children can benefit from hearing a variety of musical genres. It allows you to see life from many perspectives and truly be a bridge towards understanding each other's worlds. I leave you with a line from one of my daughter's favorite Disney soundtracks. "Love is an open door Life can be so much more". Be safe and be blessed. Ambrosia and Baby Bop (kid nickname ☺)

The passion he put into singing that after the 1000s of times he must have sung that was amazing! His voice was still superb too!

[@kevino4846]

That's what struck me, was that in his sixties, his voice sounded stronger and better than when he first started singing it 40 years before. Remarkable.

I lost my husband of 22 years to cancer and this was our slow dance song and I have listened to it at least 200 times since he has passed amd it makes me smile !

[@nicholasgrichards]

I’m so sorry to hear of your recent and tragic loss. It’s always interesting to hear what certain songs mean to different people; in many ways this song will forever bind you to a certain set of memories of you and your husband slow dancing. My twist on this song is somewhat different, but just as personal: it hit the charts a week or two before I emigrated to Canada from the UK in June 1967. I have now lived in the US since Sept 1, 1969 and every time I hear it I can still remember listening to it on a 45rpm single in my study area at boarding school with all my buddies. I’m 67 now, a long way from the 14 I was back then. I wish you well.

A performance so brilliant makes me believe that we are all not the same species. I could never do what any of these folks are doing; while making it look effortless. I will instead remain a world class listener of this triumph.

1967 , I was 29 and my oldest daughter was just born, when I heard for the first time this song. I said to my dear wife "Love this is one for eternity". I wish I could say it to her again in 2021, but she passed away in 2017. I thank God we were 55 years together.
