Listening to the video...haven't heard the song in a very long time - never had seen the video.

It's very sad.

So had to look up its meaning, this is what Google says:

The general consensus is that “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” is a snapshot of a drunken sexual escapade gone awry. Yet the song defies a specific interpretation, instead conjuring various shades of melancholy which are embellished by the mournful music and Brooker's pained delivery.

So I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that felt it "sad"...

Oh and Google also taught me, Procol Harum means

beyond these things....

LOL ;-)

...keep us smiling Annie! Happy Tuesday!
